Permanent Tier 1 Characters: T1Capped

[Sedok]

No. If debolster comes back, it should be intended as something to help higher-levels aid those in lower tiers, rather than having it be a main form of content for some people. I wish it would come back in that manner, but I don't think it will, as most people seem to either have never used it or used it to roflstomp new players.

T1 should be a place for new players to a gentle introduction to the game, before being thrown into the Doomsday Tier with the rr80 full premades. It already suffers from the problem of having new players being forced to fight against veteran players from live, so having such folks permanently there is ridiculous. The number of players I've seen who rage and give up over a twinked Shaman is absurd; if you want new blood coming into the game, you do not want those as a permanent fixture in the starter tier.

I believe the fear of implementing a level-cap as it sits now is that you will have warbands of what I will call UberTwinks roaming the lakes in T1 making it hell for those not able or unwilling to make the resources commitment and/or just trying to level another character to 40.

You don't need a warband of them for that:

Great idea, i love T1, well basically anything below T4 ^^ I´ve always felt that these are the more balanced tiers. On the other hand it would split the player base which imo would not be good for RoR.

More than splitting the player base, we wonder how fresh player will feel against Twinked players.

Twinking is only fun for the people that twink. A fresh player starting on the server hitting a brick wall on T1 because of people on BIS gear would do nothing good for the server.

I'm glad that this isn't in the plans.

OP has been answered, no point in letting this conversation continue as we have no plans to implement this change due to the reasons pointed out by other members of staff in this thread.
