Heh, I remember level five was an enormous accomplishment for a character when I used to play. By the time you were level fifteen or so, you were practically a god. After all, it's not every day you face a 20,000 EP abyssal tanar'ri, and ogre mages were still considered relatively strong opponents. The thing was, not many people carried characters over from game to game unless it was from a lower- to a higher-level campaign, meaning the racial level limitations just didn't matter a terrible lot. Then it became apparent people like the idea of using the one character throughout many different campaigns, and I guess that's when the level limitation complaints started to come up frequently.
