class-and-level restricted areas could breathe new life, at least in 1-alt.

Of course character lending leads to it's own swathe of problems, I'm just fantasizing really, but it might be cool to encourage folks to roll and twink out a specific class at a specific level to let people use if there are enough players online to complete a challenging dungeon.

Problem would be the remaining playerbase, being oldbies, complaining about how since they had to suffer through the grind, so should new/returning players.

staff would rather spend time granting unfair boosts to their friends than come up with an idea to get new people into the game.   

it's strange to me that D&D has had a resurgence but MUDS are still "archaic"?
