The levlling pact actually slowed levelling, very slightly, but it did slow it (I had severall levelling pact's with my wife when we lived in different hemispheres)
out of interest does that mean existing models (ie our currrent toons) need to be converted with the extra bones (which seems highly likely) the main thrust of my question is is it likely to be a one off pigg update to do it for all? or would each existing character ned converting?
If you don't activate them, then they don't con as enemies to the mobs (I always leap over Lady Jane and leave her there until I've cleared the map, she had more of a deathwish than most of them! though yeah the leading them to a location bit does come up a bit, damn
