"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
I will gladly pay you on Tuesday for a level today.
Also, I deem the "no comment" from the AE designer quite epic.

I'm curious, where in the game is that gas station? I don't think I've ever actually seen one in game before.
Oh #@#% ! ! I've got characters still in Outbreak!

�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.�
This is really bad news. I always thought they'd eventually cave in and let us level up to 60 proper, but if XP is in short supply, this is not feasible. I mean, imagine how much experience even one level-up will cost. Even as it stands now, 90% of the XP a character will ever earn will be earned going from level 40 to level 50. Can you imagine the cascading increase of requirement that would be merited by another 10 levels on top? The cost will be astronomical!
If Paragon Studios do indeed bank a full progression's worth of XP for every character made and they're already running low, then upping the level cap to 60 will simply break their bank overnight. And, I should say, NO reserving enough experience to level up all the way is no solution. Of course not all characters will reach level 50. But once people catch wind of this crisis and once XP shortages and XP coupons and XP queues start developing, do you think people will keep making new characters? Of course not! We barely have enough XP for the ones we already have. Who needs more mouths to feed?
And then what? Once people give up the luxury of making new characters, they'll start levelling up their old ones. But because enough experience wasn't reserved for them, they'll run-out mid-way. If history is any indication, this will take place around level 38. So now people will end up having paid for 50 levels of experience, but only getting 38 or so levels before they run out. This is not good for business.
The only real solution is for us, the players, to pitch in and offer our own personal experience to add to the pool of the game. Sure, our experiences may not always be compatible with the game's standard of XP - after all, how does a vacation in Disneyland or the memory of eating 25 whole hot dogs relate to the ability to shoot fire from your hands? But in these times of crisis, we'll have to make do. XP is XP, after all, whether it concerns wars with alien races, filing tax reports or kinky sex. It's still XP, and damn it! I just rerolled a level 50 Blaster as a level 1 Scrapper and I NEED THAT XP!!!

Sorry...

All in favor of kinky sex XP replacing regular in-game xp say aye.
AYE!
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

Too many alts to list.

People will need to delete some of their existing level 50s to put that XP back into the system for new characters.|

Recycle, Reuse, Reroll...
Uber Talgrim - level 50 emp/dark defender
Uber Rod - level 50 dark melee/regen scrapper
Rod Valdr - level 50 invuln/SS tanker
Talgrim - level 50 ninja/dark mastermind
OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!
That means we are now going to have to demand the ability to email XP to our other characters, just like inf/inf/inf.
No DOOM today, DOOM tomorrow. There's always a DOOM tomorrow.
