Actually we did it before (organising polls to get player's viewpoint) you can ask any old player that have played Zone version 1, levling will be made mainly via hunting Quests (we tried to change the boring way of killing 1 monster) and players will start at lvl1 and level their way which will take no more than few hours, farming will be required untill we make sure few quests/mobs/events are working as intended then we might switch to giving full armor to focus more on testing the PK/character/skill balance.
