no cute peasants anymore !?! Nooo , save peasantry !
srs, lvling up from peasant level was one of core concepts in cRPG , which i like. Idc dieing and being useless with a character for a bit until i get my first kills. For me its part of the fun and a nice challenge each time i retire one of my alts. Even the lvl 1-20 server somewhat odd concept in my eyes.
