I suspect all long-running MMOs are something like this but it does seem to be exaggerated to an almost comedic degree in WoW.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-17777480958682073782020-11-02T13:14:15.846+00:002020-11-02T13:14:15.846+00:00I think the pre-patch just messed with all kinds o...I think the pre-patch just messed with all kinds of things that people either didn't know about or guide writers couldn't be bothered to research because they figured nobody cares about "the old stuff" at this point. Not sure all of it is intentional on Blizzard's part either.<br /><br />My husband's warrior and my monk levelled to 50 together for example, and he has access to world quests now while I don't. We've been trying to research what's needed to unlock them but on paper I seem to meet all the requirements - I'm just barred from them for some mysterious reason while he is not.

Both of them make a point of always cross-linking clearly and of explaining any anomalies. Also the Zam site for EQ is incredibly reliable. Added to that, all of those are visually far clearer, better designed and less cluttered. All the WoW sites seem to use far too much unecessary color and have very old-fashioned design principles.<br /><br />The in-game information is generally not that bad but there seems to be a conflict between trying to explain things clearly and keeping everything couched in lore-appropriate language. I'm not surprised they don't mention the level requirement on the banner - they seem not to like to draw attention to those kind of mechanics.

It also occured to me that the supposedly onerous rep grind would quite likely have been finished for many people before they even got the Secret of the Sands achievement, because Vol'Dun is stuffed with quests and they mostly give that rep.

The quick facts (on the right) for the starter unlock quest in Orgrimmar will tell you it requires level 50, but that information isn't repeated in the guide. Sometimes the guides feel more like hasty notes instead of a proper guide.<br /><br />Even the in-game clickable allied race banner that lists things about the races don't mention the level requirement. :/Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-9816659080649054732020-10-31T23:23:54.458+00:002020-10-31T23:23:54.458+00:00It's entirely possible nobody noticed you need...It's entirely possible nobody noticed you need a level 50 character before now, because most players were long-since past that mark and accelerating.
