Dear Blizzard,

I recently returned to WoW with the launch of TBC, after about a year away from the game.

I've been playing a bit, levelling some new race alts and have started levelling my 3 old level 60's again to see the new content. All of which is great, but apart from the lvl 60-70 content I'm finding that the boredom is setting in fast again.

One of the things I love is having multiple characters. Different classes, races, skills etc. WoW is a game with a lot of depth to it, especially in the area of talent specs and class nuances - most of the classes are very different to play from each other and learning how all the classes work is a challenge. I've still not got a clue about hunters for example, never got one above level 12.

However there is a major problem with this and it's to do with the boredom.

I've done pretty much all the quests now, on both sides, for most classes and races. Still, the ONLY new content is end-game content. Instances and level 60+ content. The new race content (Blood Elves and Draenai areas) really didn't last me long - a couple of days and it was all done. Twice. :/

This will be the factor that makes me unsubscribe again fairly soon in all likelihood, and I know many people who feel the same way.

Now please don't misconstrue this post as a whine. I'm not one of the 13 yr olds that posts here. I'm an old, experienced MMORPG player, I play games other than WoW, my life isn't going to end in a frantic puff of angst when I decide I've had enough of WoW this time round, I'll just quietly go on my way until the next time I feel like playing WoW again, no problem.

No, what this is is a suggestion post really. I'm sure Blizzard are aware that making and levelling alts is something that's enjoyed by a lot of people. Equally I hope that Blizzard recognise that after you've done it once or twice or thrice a lot of the level 1-60 content is pretty tedious and that this must be a factor in a proportion of account cancellations.

So I have two suggestions really. One is simply to develop more low-level content. Pretty much every player makes alts and having some new content at all levels would be a superb way of encouraging lengthier subscriptions IMO. However I am well aware that content-development is expensive, time-consuming and difficult.

So the second suggestion is borrowed directly from Dark Age of Camelot. How about a /level command for certain factions on certain servers?

The way this worked in DaoC was that if you had a level-cap character already (lvl 50 in DaoC when I played it, the equiv of a lvl 70 now in WoW) you could create a new character in realms/servers and then go to a trainer and type /level 20 and *dinglyding* you'd instantly be level 20. The way they did it in DaoC was that you could only do this on underpopulated factions. On the most underpopulated factions/servers you could do /level 40.

This had 2 effects - firstly it allowed people to make new alts without having to grind through all the old content that they'd already done several times over. Secondly it helped address the server/faction imbalance. This could be a great way of mitigating the Horde:Alliance imbalance on some servers in WoW I feel.

Apologies for the long post, thanks to those who read this far! I'd love some feedback from people to know if these are ideas that anyone thinks would be viable in WoW :)

It's nice to see some constructive and thought-out feedback, thank you.

Can't say this will be happening, but it's definitely something worth bringing up at the right time.
