I strongly believe for the sake of the game devs find an away to pen players to certain zones. Lvl 1,000 players cannot traverse through each section without completing all the missions in their area before moving on to the next section along with an in game timer.
On penalty of death.
(10 second timer, respawn disabled for match if player continually entering lower/higher zones)
Have sections (little kyiv, ocio) cordoned off by lvl. The lvl at which players can traverse is as high as their party members. At a certain time maybe 18 minutes in, the zones open up to allow players through.
This isn’t 1,000 to 200 transfer, no
1,000 - 750
1 - 100
750 - 400
100 - 400
