[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 4010290, member: 13966"] Fine. Would it be better to mention the correlation between magic items requiring specific levels in 4E to the same exact thing having been used in MMORPGS like Everquest for, oh, a decade or nearly as long? And probably used in MUDs/MUCKs/MOOs even longer, I would guess (though I've only played a few of those before). And you can't tell me Frodo was an 11th-level Hobbit before he left the Shire. Maybe 4th-level or something, since he was an odd one, but not so strong or famous as some of the other Shirefolk at the time. Bilbo at least had a short bit of perilous adventuring before he came across Gollum and the One Ring, but not Frodo. Also, it makes little sense that if there's some wierd magical law of the entire Multiverse, that somehow ring-shaped magic items can't work for anyone without a vast amount of experience, that artifacts are somehow exempt just 'because'. Not every artifact is deity-made. Also, I can't read the whole article. I'll never sign up to the DDI. Viva la paperbacks! :heh: [/QUOTE]
