I was reading this forum thread [X] and someone had an idea for removing silan and having new players start in a city (perhaps the city of their chosen race).
Just wondering what peoples' thoughts are on this idea.
Personally, i enjoyed silan but i can see his/her point... seeing the older players run around would be motivating - yet at the same time so is knowing you can slay everything in silan :P
I think it would make the main cities nice and populated rather than sparse but obviously lower level mobs would have to be introduced as a lvl40 yubo is not gonna die by the hand of a lvl5 toon.

I kinda wish they'd get rid of the starting island altogether, and work the beginner tutorials into the main racial cities instead. When I've played, there was always active, experienced players in the cities - more than I'd see at any time on Silan. I think it does a huge amount of good for a new player to see other players around who aren't newbies like themselves, especially if they can catch them in the higher level armors, dueling with higher level spells, etc. It instills the confidence that "okay, this is an active game, and people do play it for a long time".[/p]

Silan, to me, is boring. I don't know why, but I've never enjoyed that place. Maybe it's fine to others, I dunno. I just know I've left there any time I've tried a new character. The racial cities are much more interesting. I love the main Matis city (forget the name at the moment).
