I agree with all you guys said above, just one thing I would add to this..
And this is from an Alsirian point of view:
It's so easy to get 30, by a bit experienced player its almost doable in a day.. almost! But later on it gets very hard.. much more XP needed, Less quests more grinding.
In the 4 MMO's I played full time, I enjoyed RO because of the people, the small and fun community and the mature graphics but overall because of the PvP and RvR style.. Most 'Big' games give the low lvl gamers an opportunity to be able to do 'something' on low lvl too.. In regnum, you have to be at least 35 maybe even higher to be able to help your realmmates.. I HATE this, Low lvls shouldn't be forced to get higher lvl.. If they want to taste a bit of the PvP and RvR on low lvl and they would actually enjoy this then they would have no problem with grinding and questing to a higher lvl because they know what's coming to them when they hit a higher lvl.
At this point, if you enter the Warzone at a low lvl, you'll get ganked.. powned, not even have the opportunity to have fun. In my opinion this is what I have always hated about RO and exactly this is what pushed my RL friends away from RO.
Quick small summary, Make it harder to lvl on low lvl, but make it easier to lvl on higher level.. that way when new gamers hit ~30 they already did 'something' for lvling and didn't just get the lvls handed out to them.. But ofcourse, because low lvl's will have a harder time, make it easier for them on later level like I said. And let them be able to do'SOMETHING'.
And for goodness sake.. THE QUESTS NGD, THE QUESTS!
