Powerleveling is a common occurance in Fantasy Fiction

[MagpieRockyl]

If you are an avid reader, casual reader, or obsessive reader of Fantasy Fiction you would agree that in many many instances of more experienced (higher level) characters setting out on quests and adventures with new and inexperienced

Lets use Lord of the Rings as an example - a well known and widely read series.

If we were to translate the main characters of this series to Everquest Frodo and his three Hobbit companions are about level 1 or 2. Of course as they go along they may grow in their abilities etc, but who comes to their aid on many occasions? Aragorn in Bree - a 45(ish) warrior, Arwen just before they reach Rivendel, Gandalf and the actual fellowship of the ring through Moria and thereafter.

Adventuring with variety of classes and races is a very fantasy experience - something well known in Everquest, but so is the complexity of secret strength and a diversity in experience within the companions. When you come to Everquest, don't reject others because they are too powerful for your experience, and don't reject them because they are weak and unable to contribute. That is just as integral to a great story and adventure than anything else. Don't just play the game - play for the story and adventure that you are experiencing.
