My highest toon is 82 so I don't see any reason to buy it. Maybe when they decide to make an easier more exciting way for players to reach end game I might be interested. As it is right now I am through, yet another, burn out phase as leveling is really REALLY tedious even with potions etc.
The Heroic Character introduction in EQ2 is exactly that. Last info I had is they are giving all active accounts one free heroic character (10 levels off cap, well-geared and AAed) to get the playerbase hooked on the stationcash 3500 per option.
I'm a gold sub to EQ. If I hold of moving characters around (really the only thing I use my monthly accumulating SC for) I'll probably able to purchase the EQ version of these... ...NOTE: EQ isn't announced yet, but I firmly believe we'll see it by next spring at the latest.
In the meantime, I am having a blast slow levelling on the moon. It's definately held my interest because other people are doing it too. But I totally understand about the levelling push/burnout. I've hit that twice in WoW and that game is easy to level in solo (last time I quite 1 level off the cap lol). Granted the playerbase doesn't compare to EQ's... I'd much rather be in a world with the EQ folks.
Edit: though I concede this is not an "exiciting way" to level. A really cool quest chain that got you within 10 levels of cap and to the state of a heroic character with about 2 weeks played would be a much cooler thing for them to implement.
