I have heard repeated comments about the skill up process and people concerned about that. Interestingly, today's patch should cure some of that, especially for magic users. I would also point out that your experience at this point will enable you to know what you need to do to get your skills up much quicker than the first time around. I recently purchased a second account intended to be my harvestor and with 6 weeks less time than my main, skillz in key combat areas are almost equal. Now, that is sad as hell for my main..lol..but it is what it is. I am still 100% for a fresh start (personnally) and no transfers of any kind, sorry for those who want them, but I just can not see it helping a new server in any way, shape or form.
