The gap is there by design..
Not very encouraging news for the community of tomorrow. You can't honestly believe that basing the future of this server off of the hopes that the old will retire is our best solution.
"Hello, welcome to Graal Kingdoms! Here's your free handicap! But don't worry, maybe one day the other 30-40 players will quit and level the playing-field"
Come on. Is that really what we're supposed to tell the new upcoming facebook population? How is this the plan for the new community; they're practically being set up for failure in a competitive environment.
If this really is the
end all say all of GK's future plans, then for the sake of all future players-- at least make some sort of tiered PK structure where you can only fight against people in your tier (disabled in core/spar). Lvl 1-25, 26-50, 51-80, 80+. This would at least prevent them from being slaughtered, and they could decide to stop leveling to stay in their tier if they still felt like their gear was under-par. Maybe even assigning a "point value" to pieces of gear so people couldn't start over as a lvl 25 and wear end-game gear, cheating the system.
Would this anger the old community? Possibly, but obviously they're not being catered to anyways if the current plan revolves around their retirement.
