Well, the opportunity was there. It was meant to be a 6 month trail on Sembia. At the end of the six months, I spoke to the HDM about it, to see how it went. He laughed and told me that I knew perfectly well how it went, as I was the ONLY person to take that opportunity to start a campaign PC. So to correct that quote, it would be more accurate to say "we started one person at higher than level one once"

That's incorrect, actually. We did it on NC as well, and we had several people who started at level 3.

Mirabai is correct. I was one who did this on NC, though it was short lived. I believe NWN1 was removed from ALFA shorlty after that, or Chamu who was hosting NC left ALFA. None the less, there was many more than just 1, at least on NC.
