Before coming back (again) I was trawling the forums a bit to see what was up. Threads like this one caught my eye.
The size difference thing has been around for ever.
I first returned to the game and created Tarax around mid 2000's. (Just before the first people were popping myth, whenever that was help me out with the date lol) And some I knew were bragging about their ultra low brutality and how they could get there easily.
But when I reached Titan I was happy enough and could join in team fights and took my foot off the gas on questing. But there were not the same resources then as now it was a LOT more frustrating.
Over time I have grown were I am happy with my size already & knowledge alliances and equipment are more important than size anyway when it comes to fights. The first vampire slain in pvp was by a rising hero if I recall. The myth squad quit when another heroish sized player kicked their ass.
If I was a new player I would be crying show me your secrets not show me myth.
But I think if older players heard that qexp cap was reachable without much painful syntax searching and wild goose chase quests more than a few would give it a go.
They might even share some secrets if they do
