XP boxes....

An item that is locked to an account (so can only be used by yourself) that can be imbued with XP. In other words at lvl50 you can instead of earning rep/inf/etc as you play you can earn XP, the XP is added to a single use item that you can use from any other character on that account. Accounts may only have of these items at once, it can only be added to from a level fifty character, and the maximum stored XP is enough to level you to 20... obviously you could use several of these to rapidly level a character but the amount of XP is only enough to get to 20, the next use won't get you 20 levels.

Also the rate of adding XP to the item is the same amount of time it would take you to get from 50 -> 51. 20 times for a full XP Box.

Idea being to speed up the creation of alts and get past the boring first few levels that you have done so many times it hurts. And encourage the use of capped characters.

REsulting in less vetertan players being recycled to pass on knowledge to newplayers, and a desolate feel to the game at level 1-20, as almost all lvl 50 owners would do this

Would rather have a kind of research bar you can modify.
Put x amount of prestige/inf/xp for each mob to .. unlock things.. zones.. zone improvements... or the like.

Oh regarding original idea.. sorry /not signed.
(Personal feeling is xp is way to easy to get anyway. I like getting contacts and temp powers, and all this xp boost is.. gah.. Oh well atleast its a challange getting them all now)

And then you have a level 20 character with no contacts and stuck with radio/newspaper missions.

But you only need to do one "round" of radio / paper missions and you get olffered a contact once you do the safeguard / mayhem. I tend to miss most of my contacts pre-20 anyway and this is the way I catch up.

For me I'd limit it to level 10-12, the really dull annoying bits where you run everywhere and have few attacks. Yes they only last a few hours, but my god they're dull.

/unsigned since I often use the first 10-20 levels to see if I enjoy playing with my newly created monstrosity

Idea was something of a joke TBH, and I didn't really expect many agreements. OTOH Having played the 1-20 game far too many times, I want to skip it and just start at 20 now and then.
