I vowed a while ago that I’d stop deleting characters, mostly because I was deleting high level characters to create new characters on a whim and then deciding I actually wanted those high level characters back. Well, I had two characters that I barely touched that were mostly power leveled and that I decided to delete. Not any of my level 90s (crafter nor adventurer) but my ranger and my monk, both of which I won’t miss that much. The reason? Well I wanted to explore Halas from the new characters point of view – and I also learned that you can now do battlegrounds from level 20+ which was something that I had no idea about.
I decided to create a conjurer, I’ve had one before who I betrayed over to a necromancer. I even had her get to level 80 in sage but she was an ancient character who was far behind in almost every aspect of the game, especially alternate advancement. I deleted her probably a year ago. Anyhow, I decided to create this new character, and start them off in Halas. The quests are quite fun and I absolutely love the look of the gear (pictured above). I do play on both Oasis and Antonia Bayle, but decided I’d create my new character on Oasis (which is where the majority of my characters are) because I didn’t want to deal with the throngs of people who I knew would be roaming Halas on AB (a far more populated server). A little odd of me perhaps but it worked out well I think.
I’ve turned off her experience and set her to 100% alternate advancement so that I can use her as a battleground character. I don’t have the faintest idea what rewards a level 20 would obtain, but I’m excited about it. I’d like to get her as many alternate advancement points as I can first and a nice set of gear before diving into the battlegrounds, but we’ll just have to see how that goes.
Happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

Your amazing pics always make me want to try EQ2 again
I’m pretty sure that you need to be 30 for battlegrounds. However, I haven’t tested it. In any case, you want to level lock at the highest level for a given tier since you will be mentored down for competition. This will give you a small advantage. Therefore, your target level should be either 29 or 39, depending upon whether there is a tier 3 battleground.
As far as rewards go, you get tokens that are heirloom and can be turned in for decent fabled gear. I haven’t looked exhaustively to see if there is anything but level 80 and level 90 gear available, however it seems that there isn’t anything for lower levels. I could be wrong though.
@Bob – It may be 30 for BG’s, I’m honestly not 100% on that myself however there is lower level pvp gear sold just fine for tokens, a few guild mates have gotten discoveries for it.
