Maybe opinions like mine have been stated before, as I haven't read the whole thread.
In RP, I separate IC and OOC. I'm not one to make powerful main characters myself, but I'd consider it unfair if only people with a lot of free time and the will to grind their levels were allowed to RP powerful characters.
Back in Aion, a person who RPed a 9 years old noble girl wanted to be more powerful than a 400 years old war veteran. The reason? That his character was max level, while the war veteran was not because his player seriously didn't have the time. The little free time he had was spent... RPing (and he was very good at it). There wasn't any good IC reason for that girl to be stronger; it was simply absurd from an IC point of view. Mixing OOC with IC can create such situations.
