I forgot to ask the question last night. If we were going to play all the way to level 30, we figured (without skipping levels), it would probably take at least another 1.5 - 2 more years of play with these characters. My question is to guage your interest on a general idea of what you would like to do to play out the story. I see three direct options, and then any ideas you might have.
Option 1: Play to level 25.
We finish up character stories, which brings everyone to level 21. From there, we play until level 25, mixed in is some role-play items dealing with the coalition happening, and the eventual aftermath of the results. We then just write up endings to our character and what they do and they ride off into some sunset.
Option 2: Skip to level 25, play until level 29/30
We finish up character stories, which brings everyone to level 21. From there, we do some storyline on the forums, mainly dealing with the coalition. We resolve that via the forums, and come back to the aftermath at level 25. We then play out level 25-29 or 30.
Option 3: Skip every other level until 30
We finish up character stories, which brings everyone to level 21. From there, we do some time jumps between adventuring which would have us come back at level 23, 25, 27, 29 and then play out until 30. This will deal with us playing during the coalition stuff, as well as through the aftermath, and then playing to our end stories, with us stopping at level 29, and maybe we do one personal session per person as a "wrap-up" into level 30 and beyond.
