I've been seeing too many of these "It may not be big content wise but its a big step!" releases. If your still wrestling with balance and the code frame why was the game released in the first place? Things like that really should be fixed up before you release an MMO. Otherwise, as you've experienced, the time gap between content releases will be too vast for the player and they'll have to suffer imbalance for long periods of time. During that time, many people will just give up on the game and leave. Simply increasing the level won't solve anything either. It will just give the players who joined the game and possibly paid for the game a small boost of reason to play while increasing your plate of balance problems. In my opinion, you should shut down ED for a year, with the players approval, and spend a large amount of time sorting everything out. Perhaps even rearrange the stats of the var seasonals and promo items so that they compete equally against each other just with different stats. Don't get me wrong, I see great potential in ED. It just seems to be going down a track that's unfavorable for its development. Please consider my suggestion if you get the chance to read it, I'm not trying to be malicious in any way. I'm just stating my opinion and hoping for a brighter future for ED. -Soul
