During beta, maybe offer higher starting level.
Many players, like myself, like to test out different classes and races. This can be a daunting task when repeating the same location and content over and over again at the lower levels. Also, it hinders players from testing and experiencing the higher level content (20+). Perhaps if you could institute a temporary ability for players to start a character at varying level intervals, like every 10 levels, to make the testing process easier and more balanced...
Perhaps you could create a temporary NPC that would advance you accordingly and provide you with the needed gold to equip yourself at that level. This would allow players to test more aspects of the game and not be forced to "grind" to the higher levels...
