There are almost no tanks on this server. So I created one. Please be kind to tanks and invite them to groups if they're in your level range! IMO you can't test content without them. Shit, this is going to suck.
Things will get a lot more balanced after the final character wipe is done. I feel like they should do a beta with max level 20 and a 10x exp penalty. You'd get some dedicated testers building up the group they want, testing the shit out of the early content.
I think they should do a /testbuff command like the original EQ did. Automatic level 25 with a noob gear kit.
