I said yes. My reasons are the same, but I also agree that this should only happen if the characters are created seperate from those that already exist in CORE. If characters in the current core want to transition over so that they have the opportunity to adventure with others of their level, then it is their decision. If they don't want to then they are stuck at this original CORE with the very limited number of high level characters that currently exist.

I think the more important question here is this:
What can we do to help the current issue that there is an overabundance of low level characters and a severe lack of high level characters?

Personally I think giving out tons of exp is a poor way to counteract it, but right now it is the most balanced.
