Returning Player: NPE?

Hey guys,

I’m returning after a year+ break, and finding myself wondering wtf is going on with my sub-80 characters.

Looking through a dozen threads I see there’s something called NPE, and claims that it should do this; claims that there’s misinformation being spread about that; and suggestions by producers that it’s broken anyway.

I’ve just trying spending the afternoon playing various toons and I’m really not enjoying it very much – some skills seem to be locked (gated I guess), but others aren’t…I’m guessing if you have them already they stay, if not you’re stuck with the gate.

I get that games need to attract new players to enjoy a long, healthy life, but please spare a thought for returning players. I understood the old game, and I liked it – it just needs more to do. At the moment, I have to do more (or the same, it looks like), with less to do it with, and I’m not putting money in a slot for that.

Whatever comes about (assuming this stuff is subject to change), please consider putting up a guide for returning players, because your New Player Experience needs an Old Player Tutorial. :/

I mean this with the warmest of respect.
