 As someone who is well past where the story is being considered (they're on "It's Probably Pirates", which is level... 16, I think? while I'm on "Lady of the Vortex" which is somewhere in the 40's), it's generally considered polite for those of us who have already gone through the content to not consider it as 'happened' until the pacekeeper reaches that point. We also have the choice to run alongside the pacekeeper and participate as if we are doing the quests ourselves for the first time. As Blue said, quest text is copied into /ls for us all to see and react to.
For those who progress slower, we don't have that much of an issue with that right now (leader is in the middle of a killer college semester) But in the future, I would assume that we will do as we did in FFXI, and work with a newcomer to get them caught up OOCly and then have them 'join up' with the group at whatever point the pacekeeper is at. How these people got to the same point the pacekeeper did is up to them, and if they wished we would work with a newcomer to help come up with an alternate 'path' to how they reached that point.
Hi there!
Okay, I understand. So ... will it be difficult to RP in the case when one person is @ level 16 while another is @ 40? Or do you guys generally have no problem with it? :o
When you say "run alongside the pacekeeper" ... does this mean a higher level character can participate/replay events that they have already gone through? I imagine it would only work for dungeons right? Not story events as well?
Good to know about lower level characters too since that will be me in the beginning .... =P
