-1 because i seriously dont see what the newcommers have to loose other than a bit of pride and a bit of NP which they have really low when they start and LD drop goldbars so you can always buy NPs back. after you exp to 85, do the veggie quest and boom 5k
anyways, i exped few chars on LDs solo, and when i got raided i got killed and didnt really raged over it. why? because exping on draculas is :
a) fast exp, nobody is forcing you to do it, there are other ways (hope for event, R kill gloomwings in bossland2, do the quests...)
b) they drop goldbars which is good, you can buy medium starter gear in moradon with it
c) i dont know, even in official version while exping on booros - all that tension that youre gonna get raided actually spiced things up for me
otherwise it would be so boring
