The power curve is going to be shallow compared to the traditional RPG. It's more about the expanding your ability to face different situations. In general: we want player skill to matter; avoid alienating new players; and avoid gear becoming obsolete. You'll be able to upgrade and modify your weapons. We want you to hold onto them and take them on many campaigns. You and I share similar ideas about growing weapons into something more unique; and I will definitely give it more thought.
Will progression bleed into the forums at all? Will newcomers be able to see that people such as the beta testers and the founding members *Looks at you intently* have been along for the journey much longer than new comers, grots, and initiates?

Woohoo, sounds great Michael, you guys are so cool. I will be very happy if my sword can finally start whispering.....ahem I mean talking to me.
Should definitely look into it, Your forum account should clearly tag you if you're a member of the faction war council or one of the chapter Captains. I believe WW2OL had Field Marshal/Commander tags for players in the HQ for Axis and Allies.
Will we have one character that can unlock everything like The Secret World or locked into a single class per character like traditional MMO/Planetside?
