We've said you'll be able to carry over a "portion" of your experience to Live. When you think of "portion" in this case, what percentage would you guess will be carried over?

The latter, but feel free to post the former in a posting instead of a vote, too.

i don't care because it isn't like i'll be doing the same stuff again, anyway.

that, and i can't say i know for certain how "far" ahead the content will be prepared for the higher levels. ie: if i get to start off level X, and the highest content ready at the start of Live is below that, what's the point? in fact, i think it would be worse for me because i'd get bored rather fast.

I'd like to get 50% or more but I doubt that's gonna happen.

I want the portion that counts most. I'm not sure what that is though Laughing
Maybe Tao Tao can enlighten us more on this subject.

I'd rather have an increased EXP rate than a flat out "here are a few levels."

What I'm considering is this -- and please feel free to post your thoughts.

Let's say Joe Tracker is level 20, Bob Mercenary is level 70, and Suzy Psionic is level 100 with enough XP to qualify for level 120.

All three have a quest they can perform in Live to unlock an experience bonus. Assuming all do so...

Joe gets +30% XP per pulse for 20 levels. Bob gets +30% for 70 levels. Suzy gets +30% for 120 levels. I'd cap this at < 200 levels, maybe 150 or something.

So, it's sort of like retaining 30% of your experience from the current game, but you are getting it over time instead of in one chunk so you can enjoy all the new content.

It sounds like a good deal but is the % going to be 30%? How about 50% Smile

it's worth noting that if you race to the top you'll run out of things to do pretty fast.

Something else I might add is a bonus to gains in faction/status/etc relational to the amount of experience gained in the beta Haelrahv. So if you're trying to earn favor with an organization, you might gain that favor more easily for a time.

I'm of mind with Tao to a degree, and I'll readily admit it's for all the standard high level selfish reasons.

To wit, I've got four 100th level characters, at a pretty reasonably staggered amount of experience going down from highest to lowest (over a million in some cases). At 30% of each of their experience, though, the stagger gets shrunk to negligible low thousands.

Now, don't get me wrong: I'm all for installing a throttle on gain so that everyone gets to taste all the new stuff at different levels, and I don't mind only getting a portion. But on that note, I've just got to say outright that one level race [in Beta, and let's face it, that's what experience in the game comes down to] was more than enough for me; I secured my position at the top, have trudged along for over 2 years at that damned irritating 100th level slow-gain, and with all that in mind I'm not really keen on swallowing four+ years of investment. I'd like to see SOME kind of compromise, if it comes out to some ugly result.

I only have two at level 100 or higher. But I've been working that experience since we could (still miss the paintball crossbows). I truely can't imagine doing what I've done to get back up to where I am now for another 4.5 years.
