Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Interview

MMORPG.com has published an interview with Sigil Games' Brad McQuaid, in which the former EverQuest creator talks about the upcoming Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. A snippet:
Q: What is Sigil's stance on "twinking" newbie characters?

A: Overall, we feel it's a good thing, especially when the 'twinking' is done by an individual who has played through the game, built up a character, and now wants to outfit his second or third character with better than newbie gear. That said, we can't have low level characters running around soloing NPCs significantly above their level or tearing through areas without risk. So Vanguard will incorporate what we call 'soft level limits', which means that a twinked character will be slightly more powerful than a regularly equipped character, but not overly so. Then, as that twinked character climbs in levels, he or she will get more and more out of his higher end gear.
