I hope I die before lvl 5, that means there will be surprising neat things to see and learn, If they do it right, getting to lvl 5 without a death should be fairly hard since your learning your character, your zone and its pitfalls.
I hope its kinda like P99's EQ1, you can get to lvl 5 on your alts without dieing....eventually, but good luck doing it on your first guy.
BAM! Rabid Bear claw to the face. CR time.
My first character in a new game tends towards dying pretty early on although usually not in the "noob zone". Once I've gone through it my later characters don't generally have the same problems. Of course some of that might be due to almost always starting a healer first with the accompanying lack of solo capability...
