lets have the level talk :)

"...2. If there is a good RP reason for a wide level spread then it is fine...."

One of those things that people define. But I want to make sure it is for an RP reason, not something contrived to get by the request--something we see/hear quite a lot of.

"....6. If you are below 10th level you should not be on Central or East. ...."

I say 9th level. West is made for levels 1-8 (up to 10ish)... if you are level 9 and above you can be on central.
That is one of the reasons that so many people do not slow down in leveling at that 9th level--central has creatures for them to fight.

"....7. If you are below 15th level you should not be on East....."

I would prefer to see this 16th level but if it is a REAL good reason 15 might be okay. East is made for level 18+ characters.

How we had it at first (2 years ago) is as follows, but this has been adjusted over time because of all of the updates.
West -  1-8th level
Central 9 - 17th level
East 18+

Planes is tricky because you can get there from any server...but as it should be the planes is dangerous.

Do you take ECL into consideration for this? My wife plays a level 14 fighter/barbarian halfgaint, and she can hang with a level 17 barbrain/fighter human.

     Central is for 9th level and above. That’s great. I'll be going there then sometimes so I level-up a bit more quickly. I'm dieing to get to level 10. Lot of reasons for it, like: new spells and possibly feats too, CDQ possibility and of coarse greater crafting badge. I have an interesting CDQ for my character standing ready; I mean the facts needed for one. the rest I'm thinking of leaving to the GM that will do it. I might give him/her some idea's of mine but it will be up to him/her if he/she uses them.

 No. ECL is only for the calculation of XPs. A 14th level character is still a 14th level character, regardless of ECL...though you just illustrated exactly why we have ECLs for subraces like that.

 ROAR!!! Glad to be of some assistance =)  I didn't think so, but at the same time I could understand if ECL was considered.
