Thinking of Coming Back

I would personally lean towards weaker characters, itll be alot less painful of a transition back to 1x experience that way. I also find you make alot more friends in your early levels (from PQ and picking out certain indivudiuals from noob-fest guilds) so it might be better off that way.

Then again, a ranger would certainly be a nice choice if you already have a base of friends, and arent detrimented by the switch in exp rates and training speeds.
