Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

Mythic’s Sanya Thomas has once again posted her weekly Grab Bag Q&A on the Camelot Herald, this time answering questions about spell resistance, leveling out of Thidranki, and more.

Q: What could it hurt to give (Catacombs classes, Gareth, etc) the /level 20 command?

A: First, I want to say that my job at Mythic is not to forward a personal agenda, it is to forward yours. Most of the players I speak to want /level 20 added everywhere, across the board, so I continue to advocate for that. I have heard all the very good reasons for implementing it.

But I also need to explain to you that the reason you haven’t gotten it so far is because we feel like /level was not the best move we ever made. It had a brief, quick, positive impact on the game, but in the long run, it emptied out the newbie zones, making them less than inviting for the true newbies that continue to buy and try out the game. Removing it entirely might be the best thing for the overall health of Camelot. At the same time, we’re loathe to take something (that you’re used to considering as a reward) out of the game. So, we are presently at a bit of an impasse, philosophically. That’s the whole truth in a nutshell.

Anyway, I’ll keep asking for it. But now you’ve got both sides.
