That's a shame. It means less than three adventures per level. I liked LG's slow advancement, it made being high level special. (In my case high level means above level six when PC's abilities stop making sense from a realistic point of view.)

Although the difference between levels in 4e is said to be smaller than in 3.5e, advancing too fast might not let me familiarize myself with my characters because they're constantly gaining new abilities to try out.

Well, even in LG you could easily get to second level in 3 mods. Less if you played a double rounder or core special.

And APL6 is high? That's less than 1/2 through the camapign and less than a 1/3rd of total levels.

I live in CA, and personally I don't care to adventure in East Rift at all. Is there going to be a way our local group can just pick a different Region to call our home since all Regions adventures will be available for everyone to play?

I really want to play out of Westgate and so do the members of my local group.

May I suggest you read your post again? You managed to answer your own question before you even finished the sentence! :P

Will there be a penalty for those local groups that choose not to adventure in the "official" region assigned?

I have the impression that you can have your PC come from any region, can adventure in any region, and can DM in any region, but there nmay be some regional benefit that is exclusive to your real world region, such as how soom modules are avilable for your DM or where interactives are available. There may be some insentive for basing your PC in assigned home region; it has only been specified that you will be abl to play adventures from any region. I don't think the administrators have had a chance to finalize the details yet.

There was a time when I thought of a 6th level character as High level. I remember when I started playing my characters would get 3-5 adventures in and then I would be seated at the table of death. It consisted of 3 teenage kids who were some of the least clever role players alive. Week after week they would split the party and suffer TPK after TPK. As a low level character you always ran the risk of being placed on the table of death. So on those weeks when I was unlucky enough to sit there I would die and start again. I played for a year(15-20 mod) before i got a character to 4th level. 4th level APL4 and safety away from the la mesa de la muerte. Back then I though of 6th level as high level.
