When every 3rd thread on the forums says "WIPE IT CLEAN ITS TERRIBLE" and /ooc has similar rhetoric, not sure why anyone thinks people would stick around to play. It doesn't even give the box a chance at that point - it's shooting yourself before you even get to the gunfight.
Hmm, this is true.. I mean, the previous comment almost prevented me from even LOOKING (since after all, I don't check in very often). Don't worry, I'll still check it out, though.

As for lowbies, yea, this is huge. On Rallos Zek which was a big hit later, they realized this too -- they made PvP only active for lvl 10+ to get people off their feet and not rage quit at lvl 1-2. Not sure if that's a consideration. I find it easier to get on my feet after this magical number (well, 8 as a caster, 10 as anything else). Personally I don't care because I'm in my 20's, but I do want to see new people.
