I think the temp situation, f2p can play tlp servers, you can start there old school. Problem will come shortly as the tlp servers will go back to pay format and you have to abandon or start paying. Just my op, probably worth it for a couple of weeks of old school experience. There was a burst of new players on Mangler and it seems like most veterans were going out of their way to be nice. I know I<and others> took my Druid to newbie areas to administer Share Form of the Great Wolf, 6 hour persistent SoW, and now just about don't see a newbie w/o it. All in all, seems like a successful promotion as it is easy for vets to find groups to level their neglected alternates. Lots of people asking for Dena and KEI in PoK.
