Possibility to reborn to increase the duration of the game?

I think the few weeks to reach max level announced by Steven are not enough and will limit the duration of the game.

The last 10 levels should take at least 20 - 50 hours of grinding per level.

I am even in favor of an extremely long and tedious quest to rise from the ashes (rebirth).

Prerequisite for this quest:

- Write a nice RP story to justify a rebirth.
- Tons of items to farm and craft
- Some rare items needed to increase the difficulty of the quest
- Quest accessible from the maximum level (70 ? if I'm not mistaken).

Reward :

Rebirth level 1 with some bonus points to be distributed in stats/magical resistances/magical power

So it will take at least 6 months (or even a year for a casual) to reach max level.

I think AoC which intends to have a scaling content system would be less suited for this, since it's supposed to avoid the problem of outleveled "stale" content.

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you have a link to the source of this information?

Level scaling

Levels, stats, or skills will not be scaled to allow low level players to participate in encounters with higher level players.[39][32]

Zones and progression
Dungeons, Raids, World bosses, Mobs, Quests, Events, Resources, Narratives and other content within a node's ZOI will have a diverse level range; but will scale with the advancement of that node and its racial influence.[60][61][8]

Portions of the spawn tables (for mobs and resources) are static and other portions are dynamic and adapt to node development.[62]
We don’t have a strictly level 25 zone. Instead, that zone might have some level 10 creatures near the road, some level 20 creatures deep in the forest, and some level 30 creatures up the mountain. These ratios will change based on the Nodes that inform them, becoming generally more dangerous as the Node grows. All this civilization attracts the attention of Things-That-Should-Not-Be. This does not mean that wilderness areas are safe, by any means. Some may be safe-er, but all will have dangers that even the most experienced traveler needs to watch out for.[63] – Steven Sharif

I guess I misread your comment then. Cause I thought you were saying that a lvl50 would be able to clear lvl20 content because it'd be scaled up to him, even though that is not the case.

I mean we don't know how dynamic the system is that they have planned. It could just mean that a leveled up node spawns level 40 mobs of exactly the same type as it did at level 20, plus a raid boss, which is basically the same thing.

It's not though? It's the node just leveling up on its own. There's no correlation with you personally. From what I've heard of "scaling" in other games, it's usually about the content scaling up or down TO YOU, rather than just changing on its own.

It's not leveling up on its own. Nodes level up when players gain xp within them. That's not really my point anyways. There isn't really a set "level" for a node. It can be low level if it's ignored, or high level if players want it to be. There won't really be "dead content" areas like in other games where you spend an hour in the level 5 area when you start and then never revisit it again for the rest of the time you play the game. Each node can be leveled up and potentially have high level content in it (outside of some special areas like designated starter zones). One of the main benefits of "reborn" mechanics is that you get to revisit old low level zones, but that's not really a thing in AoC.
