Gear shouldn't transfer. There's really no point testing PvP mechanics and resists in an environment where people can wear Kunark gear in the old world. It's one thing to let level 60s transfer - could even let 60s transfer with their gear if it's made no-drop - but what we definitely don't need is a factor so important as the itemization to skew the test results for an era where that gear won't be available.

A lot of the test results will come from regular old PvP. People will level to 50 in a couple of days, get some of the easier gear, and start duking it out. Nobody will be interested in taking turns casting root on eachother in a peaceful environment for several weeks, we need people to play for fun and simulate actual PvP combat. That'll be pointless if some joker can transfer his fungi, t-staff, ebon mace, sbs and other random bullshit over and stick it on a level 50 char to run around with.

If people can't have a classic environment to test PvP in, interest will drop like a rock after the first week. There's just no point bringing Kunark items into the picture. If people want to PvP for lulz on their transfered level 60s, they can do that while the rest of us test things that will actually be possible in the server's first year. We'll only get the best results if it isn't fucked up from the beginning, though.

IMO 20x exp and no transfers, should be obv - boxing is nice tho

Voted yes for proper testing (dont have a p99 toon) the more test results he can take the faster Live will be Live if he has to wait for all of us to gear up to get proper testing done Live wont be for months and months,

The more I think about this I doubt I'll even bother playing beta if theres decked 60s runnen around, with only old world open - you'd have to level to 60 in oldworld with shit gear? Or fight 60's with Kunark gear at 50 with classic shit? I don't get it how this could work.

Honestly, I don't understand the reasoning behind it either.

Even naked 60s is throwing off balance resist-wise with classic only gear available to them.

They may have reasoning behind it we don't understand, though. They're better at implementing servers, testing, etc. than any of us.
