[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5868915"] I'm having a hard time with this article right off the bat. Playing to 12th level does not imply a a few months. I know people whose campaigns have them level once a year, and they're level 10. I am always amazed at the number of people here who say that they've played the same character for near on a decade. How long it takes to get to level 12, and how long a player wants to play a character depend on a incredible sum of factors. Quality of campaign, quality of players, quality of character, ect... I don't like where this misinformation is seemingly headed. For the poll, "over 20th level" was the only answer I could give. I'm ready to leave a character behind when I'm ready. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Usually it's because I didn't put enough effort into a character. There are others I've been forced to leave behind(due to death) that I still love to this day, and would re-create in a heartbeat given the chance. Where's the poll option for that? To the second poll, 2 hours a week? Jeebus that's barely time to sit down! I raid in WoW for longer than that 4 days a week! When I sit down to the D&D table, I play for 6-8 hours. If everyone is free, we often have all-nighters! At two hours a week, even my fastest progressing games would take YEARS to complete. I'm really starting to feel like the design of the new edition is aiming for a slam-bam thank-you-ma'am style. Who really plays D&D for 2 hours a week? Yeesh. To the second question: really there's no universal answer for this, and there shouldn't be. Some games may go to castles, some games may stay so-so adventurers, some games may go into godhood! This should be determined by the game design of the DM, and the wants of the players. [/QUOTE]
