They want to create the sense of wonder and epicness.
The feel of a new world you get when you have one character and finding 
your way in a new world.
Now that many players have many characters, just levelling them can be a 
bit daunting. The gloss rubs off very quickly.

I assume because even I have 5x90 that most people have manic 
completionist streaks, that may be wrong. Maybe most players only have a 
couple of 90s.
I only started playing again last Christmas with 4 80s and got them to 
90 in a few weeks.
Now 5, plus another with Wod , 6 characters to level for a very casual 
player is a lot of worn out gloss.
I could just concentrate on one *, but the others WILL BE 
INCOMPLETE!!,woe is me.

  * assuming I get interested. I want to play, it just seems there are 
better things to do today. Play tomorrow, yes I will resub tomorrow, or 
maybe next week, after I put that retaining wall in. The better half 
gets back next week, goodness me look at the floors, who brought all 
that mud in, must have been the cat, naughty cat with its size 13 
bootprints :-) etc etc
