Remember when hitting 50 was actually an accomplishment?

Except that they can join teams and get into it that way.

My first 50 took nearly 3 years of on and off play, I made that many alts and took them to 35 whilst going back to my main etc it took me years. When I dinged 50 I was so pleased with myself, couple of months later I had a 50 villain and was just as excited.

I remember when the game launched, seeing the odd level 50 hanging around under atlas, everyone around them, talking to them or just hanging out with a high level hero, that was awesome. In my oppnion that died a long time ago and AE nailed that door shut.

I started playing this game within minutes of the servers going live on launch day and had my first 50th level character about 5 weeks later.

It took me about the same amount of time (maybe a little less) to get my second character to 50th as well.

I played those two most often and occasionally a few low level alts on the side. However, after I started a second account I was able to power level another character to 50th on it by two-boxing in about two weeks.

Once Portal Corp was put into the game it made leveling an alt even more trivial as a new character could easily be teleported to Peregrine and leveled to 20+ in an hour or two and to 50th in just a few days.

All the AE has done is sped things up a little bit more.
