I think a pwipe would be nice in the near future. I play a little now and can use my current characters to explore, i'd probably play more for the first 2 weeks to month then go back to my normal routine of periodic play. Wipes always seem to bring back more people for a short duration.
XP Tables: I've went back and forth about the xp tables. I think as i sit here and ponder, one thing that most people don't present when they spew hate for the current xp tables is the way it affected early wipe. As someone who started the wipe with no major clan affiliation, i found it much easier to find and form groups [although i did play a healing class (shaman)]. I think this increased the social interactions I engaged in. This might be a result of the necessity of having at least 3 or 4 people to tag along to efficiently gain experience. I personally ran into a number of old friends and also grouped with many people who i probably haven't interacted with in years. The expeditious mentality usually seems to be adopted by those who seek out the highest level gear (these people invariably make up a significant portion of our small population) but that does not mean everyone feels the need to barrel through the leveling experience. Consider this example: DKO on a group of 5 level 25's is much more exciting than a group of 5 level 30's. It is only not exciting when we have our sights set on equipment of levels beyond this and we disregard the appreciation for the journey and only value the end game.
p.s. please laugh at my poor attempt at grammar and punctuation, it really isn't that important in the grand scheme of this forum... i think
