Are we able to freeze our levels?

In EQ2 you were able to do this, say I don't want to out level my friends, but I still want to go kill things to farm for resources or what have you. Are we able to lock our levels?

    It would be good for a twink but I don't think it's planned.

    In a roundabout way yes, by killing yourself and earning some XP debt that needs to be worked off before you progress again.

    It would be hilarious to see a guild of twinks lemming'ing themselves off a cliff every week just to make sure they don't level.

    The world is beautiful whenever you're here.
    And all the emptiness inside disappears.

    Twinks won't suicide. The cost of the weaponry would not be offset.

    As @Neurath is alluding to, no low level twink PK characters in Ashes please.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    You won't be able to stop the twinks. Twinks are in every pvp mmo.

    Just put it in storage and kill yourself naked a few times. EZ B)

    Well, it might not be doable if I'm a red twink. With corruption you get xp debt anyway. I'm not convinced I will need to suicide due to the very nature of the pvp.

    That's only if you need the twink for pvp, yeah. If Intrepid limit the ability of high lvl chars to get some low lvl resources - people will make lowbie twinks and try to keep them at that lvl. I definitely will do that.
  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Yeah. It's the l2 spirit. Some of the best pvp has been on twinks. The funniest notion would be if a high level comes to defend others and gets corruption for killing my low level twink lol.

    If they make it where it's viable to have low level gatherers to avoid getting killed by high level players I will probably mainly twink and just hunt those characters constantly. Sounds like a blast. No PVP loopholes for the care bears on my watch.

    We don't even know yet if there will inherently be any benefit to freezing your level....
