2.3 Patch Leveling Improvements

[bryant]

In the next WoW patch, the amount of experience required for each level will go down, and the amount of experience you'll get per quest will go up.

Whee!

Edit: between levels 20 and 60.

Huh! How come? Because everybody is bored with the lower levels and wants to get to the shiny new goodness of 70 faster?

Mmm. Shiny level 70...

But yeah. Also it maintains the overall leveling time -- if it took X months to get to the top level before the expansion, it now takes X + Y months, and this pushes it back towards X.

I think the time to reach max level is part of the marketing strategy for the game. Changing the max level doesn't mean that people will be happier spending longer reaching it.

I have to admit that I was less than thrilled to hear the level cap would be going up to 80 with Lich King, so am kinda glad to hear this; 60-80 will still be a grind, but I may get some of my alts up there eventually, this way.

Of course, I have too many alts for my own good (I'm thinking of moving one of my GS girls over to CH, because I don't know that I'll ever catch my poor wee priest up to everyone; I'd like to run with you guys somewhere!), so we'll see where that goes.
