I would like to know if they have any mentoring, downscaling, upscaling etc in the game currently or planned for release. GW2 really spoiled me in this regard but being able to take any character and play with a friend regardless of our levels is something I would hate to miss. Now obviously this isnt going to be the game that removes levels but what are they doing to let people that arent at the same stage of progress do content together without the stronger one ruining the fun for both. (unless you have fun with one-shotting grey cons, I guess)
I'm not in the beta (boo!), but I'm positive they have said that mentoring is a feature that will definitely be in for launch.

I see no reason to disbelieve. If someone offered a smooth running level 60 WoW today, I'd probably be the first to create an account because it was a pretty good game at launch. There's hundreds of people who log in to fresh classic EQ servers these days, the main reason they eventually stop doing that is because they all have corrupt as fuck staff that makes you feel like you're playing North Korea mode when you compete with the admin pets for content.

My friends are all interested and we all still talk about Vanilla WoW with rose tinted shades on, so yeah I say that. I find combat in WoW to be boring nowadays though, not that "Oh raids are easier" bullshit, I just genuinely am bored of any MMO playing the game of sit and cast.

Does anyone here feel like downloading 16gb overnight? Got a stress test key for the weekend I have no use for.

I feel really bad that I won't have my new Dell in until next week. Oh well, still get to enjoy it on my new 1440p monitor.

Their NDA seems to hold up pretty well, I've been looking for some info and didnt find much really. That's usually a good sign. Still I'm not sure if they can beat WoW at their own game. Even a struggling WoW on the decline is a giant in the genre and has a huge content edge on any newcomers.
