I think it’s great! Travel is one of the main obstacles in leveling, and by lowering the price and level requirement, leveling will be that much easier. Blizzard is probably doing this to make the new expansion content more accessible to the new player (getting to 80 won’t be too hard).

And on a different note, this patch is coming out on Tuesday, June 24th! MY BIRTHDAY WOOHOO!!!

I like the idea. I can be the epic old lady troll. “I remember when I had to work for my mount. Had to walk all through 1k needles, in the sun, with no shoes! Use to have to work to get my heroics keys too, and had to be keyed before you could even look at Kara, or anywhere beyond. Oh yah I even remember having to wait a week for my battleground points and had to work my rear off to even get to see the bg rewards. You kids and your easier way. Now get off of my lawn, and where the fel is my drink!”

I must admit I groaned when I heard this, but since my littlest baby pally just dinged 30 tonite it will be nice for him. However I always had that “day after christmas” feeling after getting my mount and it was good being sort of half-way through. With there being nothing much stand out special between mount and Outland (I am not a raider) I don’t wonder that the stretch from 30 to 60 (well, 58) will now seem overly long.

I’m going to go positive with folks like Twinbee on this one.

Blizzard is always adding more content and pushing the endgame along further and further away from level 1. I think it is good that they tweak the curve a little to keep it from being so frustrating starting back at ground zero with a 1.1 DPS weapon and 10 armor.

I applaud this change as good for the whole of not only encouraging people making alts, but for new players coming into the game from scratch. It keeps them from being so intimidated.

As Blizzard continues to raise the bar so to speak, expect more changes like this. In fact, I’d bet that after WotLK goes live, we maybe see a boost to the speed of getting 60-70, and/or possibly another boost to the lower levels as well. It’s one good reason I feel good about rolling alts and server alts to play with friends not on my main server.

Bravo Blizzard!

I think its a good move. Yay for earlier mounts. I play a warlock, and even though I got a cheap mount when I hit 40, I still bought me a wolf. Now if they can lower the level requirements for the epic 60s, then, I would be even happier.
