i bounced some ideas off a person @ blizzard (a very nice lady named monica)

i mentioned the "clash-of-the-titans" suggestion and was wondering what the possibility would be to help with the drudgery that is leveling up. she mentioned that she was very interested in the ideas personally and was noting them down to pass along.

here are some of the suggestions i tossed out to her:
1. since the ability to create a DK on any server is coming, why just DKs? why not any race?
2. if we cannot create a 55 character of any race, how about a RAF-like xp bonus to help speed up the leveling

she liked the quick leveling idea and thought players would enjoy it more. she also thought they would be more encouraged to roll on other servers instead of transferring, since the grind would be minimal (in comparison)

i also addressed the end-game content, as people are already having issues with the level grind to 80. there just has to be more of a motivator to grind it out then getting a trinket. as such...

3. player/guild made towns
4. towns to be defended or attacked, giving a reason to log in and fight (more then just another arena/bg)
5. maybe have quests that guildies can go on to gather certain items to help defend or attack (make the items expire within a week)
