Gauging interest in an old-school street sweeping league

Been kicking this around for awhile. Instead of a sewer run, I'd like to get a full league of lowbies to street sweep and level and have a blast. We'd start at level 2 since i want to do the tutorial first (though higher level toons would be welcome to participate).

I figure'd we'd start in Atlas and work our way around to Perez Park. Hopefully we'll find a Kraken or two to punch while we make our way to skyway. If the Trolls want to hold one of thier raves while we're there, even better.

Then we'll hit Talos and work our way to the spot where Adamastor likes to show his face (i'm Pretty sure he'll show :P)

That is, if we level as well as i expect we will. I figure a full league will just decimate everything and the xp will roll in like the tide. Having said that, after level 10 we'll certainly start needing some enhancements, which could slow us down a bit. So i'd look for suggestions on this one. Maybe a break in each zone to shop, then rendevous and start again?

Possible problems I forsee

Lag for some. Not much we can do about it other than suggest people lower thier settings

Will the xp not roll in as well as i expect? Do outdoor mobs still expand thier numbers with larger teams in the area?

Deaths and falling behind in hazardous areas. Hopefully we'll have at least one person per team w/ recall friend.

High level griefers coming in and wiping everything before we can. I think once we had enough interest I'd set up an in-game channel and invite the participants to it to hash out details and pick the date/time to start

Anything else you can think of?

If I can get enough people interested, and we can iron out the details I think this would be a blast.

I'd be in for this - just announce on the new LFG channel, I would think. Hope I'm online when you do it.

I don't think outdoor mobs expand based on team size, and I also am not sure the XP is quite as good as in missions (certainly no end-of-mission bonus). But, it seems to me you could roll through more mobs faster, so maybe you make up for it.

Also, as for enhancements, I usually don't even purchase an enhancement until I can buy SOs. I would think more likely you'd want to stop in each zone long enough for people to sell the enhancements they accumulate and level up.
