I don't feel screwed since I guess I've never really been high leveled (last char being 104, new one planning to pass it soon), but even though my new char was started 3 months ago, I'm already going to miss out on a ton of upcoming content from KMS. Here's a few examples.
1: New low leveled PQs are released. Some of KMS's newer ones have untradeable rewards (such as Magatia PQ's eye of horus or horus's eye)
2: Monster book features PQ bosses that can't be accessed at higher levels (maybe the new boss pq fixes this? It didn't look like the bosses had any drops though)
3: The new badge system seems to greatly favor lower-leveled players (100k monsters, 5 S's in PQs, 1000 fame within 30 days). Hopefully it'll be changed a bit, but I still think it'll be pretty similar.
4: In KMS you no longer have to roll your stats, get to level your str all you want, advance at your designated level, and start with perfect stats for your job (warriors with 35/4/4/4 and the rest extra, etc).
So the question is, should I pick out a name (or not) and make a character, wait for the missing features, and then play it through taking advantage of all the things I can probably never accomplish on here by the time we get it, or the new players of the day only get to enjoy the extra benefits for a while until even more early level advantages are released? :f6:
edit: I'm not saying I plan to quit. I'm going to keep playing my current guy because I like to, and because I don't mind missing out on some of it, but due to lack of some of these things it feels like he'll be permanently handicapped compared to new chars.
