As part of the never ending attempts to work on the system the handbook has surfaced again (like jaws it never dies!!!!).
After chatting last week a simple question has arisen: Should we keep the pre-8th system? Now the question is simple but the impact is massive. Amongst instantly available comments are: Complexity of starting at 8th as a caster. Dungeon levels, a new player on a 250 could be massively out of their depth. What happens to ref points. I could go on, and have about a dozen things on my list. So I'd love to hear comments from people (new and old) about this. Pro's and con's. Please avoid repeating yourself or getting into debates on individual points. Clear and concise is good This isn't going to be a quick answer, and I am sure this will generate lots of viable outcomes and relevant comments.

For me i would say get rid of it, primarily because when a new player comes to labyrinthe they get taught about levels, and their base stats for whatever class they are playing, with most refs vaguely mentioning points as 'something to think about later' Given the system is quite complex the amount of info just for pre 8th can be quite high. Then 2 dungeons later they reach 8th level and suddenly reach a completely different way of progressing a character. So although the total information load on day one is slightly less under the new system the amount they need to learn within their first few dungeons is much higher than just starting at 8th and teaching them about points straight away.
