I do not believe that was Ziroc's intent. Besides, most people will be (hopefully) using level appropriate characters for the regions they intend to raid. Then again, I am one of those crazy people who ROUTINELY takes starter level characters down to Level Twelve just to stock up on items and sell them off later. Not even the once-per-server creations, but the regular everyday equipment the various denizens of Level Twelve (especially the Cult Of The Dragon Mistresses Of Pain) have on them. Loads of cash for only a few (dozen) restarts. I find it is worth the time to do it. Besides, as I have not been down to Level Thirteen in ages, I may actually delve down to the bottom to see what is there first. I'd want starter level characters for the revised areas of the upper Undermountain (levels One and Two, some parts of the sewers).

Wow, my download for the update is done. Less than ten minutes. Amazing. *marvels for a bit*

Okay, as for mega-items, I am one who loves to hunt those down. Since more of my questing is solo given my hours, I need them to suppliment my horrific builds. *laughs* Beyond that, one never knows what they'll be facing inside of the Undermountain. Some creatures routinely are immune to one or two attacks (slashing, magical, fire, cold = four most common) so the more options you have the better. Besides, sooner or later we'll start finding our opponents using the same weapons we were on them... ON US.

Finally, I have tried the whole "seeding" routine when I know the server is going to be on for a longer time than normal. (Higher level common items placed in various chests which I found empty.) I did that just to see how many of the items were found. Sadly, the server always seems to be reset just after I try something like that, so it doesn't work as well as I had hoped. Regardless, I do hope that everyone's gaming is enjoyable whether or not the styles used are synchronous.
