Right now the DK is very tempting for just that reason.Dradishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399533105778599010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-56981030732973568062008-10-23T15:17:00.000-04:002008-10-23T15:17:00.000-04:00Personally, I wouldn't pay but I can see this bein...Personally, I wouldn't pay but I can see this being implemented in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-68099684298404159402008-10-23T14:02:00.000-04:002008-10-23T14:02:00.000-04:00@Pidge: I absolutely agree that the 55 level penal...@Pidge: I absolutely agree that the 55 level penalty is an untenable situation (and, as I wrote yesterday, that isn't even all the perks DK's get). I've predicted in the past that they will have to introduce this in some way, shape, or form sometime in 2009. They obviously can't say anything about it now, because the last thing they want is for everyone to give up on low level alts until the new system goes in. <BR/><BR/>As to the specifics, I'll definitely comment more on those once the dust settles.Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-84956679517109077332008-10-23T11:56:00.000-04:002008-10-23T11:56:00.000-04:00No, I wouldn't pay.After playing since launch and ...No, I wouldn't pay.<BR/><BR/>After playing since launch and levelling multiple characters to 70, I couldn't see such a move as anything else than a shameless money-grub and slap in the face. I bet a LOT of other players would feel the same.<BR/><BR/>There's nothing "heroic" about starting a character at level 55, so that justification for making it free for DKs just doesn't wash.<BR/><BR/>And a 55 level penalty for rolling any new alt that isn't a DK doesn't seem to me to be a realistic long term option either. Blizzard is going to have to do something to keep players happy and class populations more balanced.<BR/><BR/>My money is on them starting some process that will eventually lead to players being able to start any class at a higher level.<BR/><BR/>Instead, I think they may offer paid customization for things like changing your characters' gender or race or other mainly cosmetic changes. People have asked for these options for a while and there's already precedent for charging for things like name changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-80972956758711474012008-10-23T10:38:00.000-04:002008-10-23T10:38:00.000-04:00How about, "No, if I can start a DK at 55, I shoul...How about, "No, if I can start a DK at 55, I should be able to start any character at 55."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-18940289726697429902008-10-23T10:29:00.000-04:002008-10-23T10:29:00.000-04:00Option 2, but that would depend on a similar intro...Option 2, but that would depend on a similar introduction at Level 55 like the the DK got.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-54480347433392254702008-10-23T10:14:00.000-04:002008-10-23T10:14:00.000-04:00Option #4!
