[QUOTE="Halford, post: 4501492, member: 64844"] There's simply no desirable way to avoid that though Velmont. Saying well you guys had to start at level one, but now this fella is coming in at 5th level is a slap in the face to those commited and reliable players who have put in the leg work. There is a huge difference between allowing some characters to be higher level because there players earned it, and letting people level up so they won't feel bad. In my book the higher desirability of DMing helps with this, as it helps ensure that new players are tempted to DM, hopefully meaning that there are enough games around to cater for new players. As someone who recently joined the Living worlds I was inspired by the fact that there were higher level characters. I long for Erf to be one of LEWs movers and shakers - its something to aspire to not to bemoan. The main problem for me was the lack of low level adventures, I have still only been able to get two of my three LEW characters out of the stable after five months, and LEB seems to be devoid of accesible games. I would hope that most new players will be inspired by the flavor, rp, and fun of the games rather than be discouraged by the level of others characters. Frankly if they are put off by the simple fact that there are people with higher level characters then I am not ure they are particularily desirable recruits in the first place. [/QUOTE]
