Title: 10 more levels!
Post by Minion on 08/17/03 at 09:12:42

There are alot of level 30s right now starting to pack up within Nightmist. In the future, there are going to be alot of level 30s roaming around.

Not sure if this was ever suggested before but, possibly add 10 more levels?

1. So level 30s can level more, and the levels on characters would be more spread out instead of a big cluster of level 1s and a big cluster or level 30s.

2. More area's can be put into the game for level 30s and up only.

3. It would be more fun ;D

Why change a good thing? I like it how it is. Plus then people would just be worrying about the level 40 cap. Plus if the exp needed to level up kept getting higher Ryan would prolly be the only level 40....

plz dude use the suggestions forum.

and this will not solve the problem cuz when ppl hit lvl 40 it will be the same as it is now with lvl 30 :D

Look at the level graph thingy, it's not too bad.

i feel more stupid every time i hear this. more levels are not going to change anything. 30, 40, 45c, 99, a gajillion, it doesn't matter. we should just remove the exp and level counter.

those of you saying that 10 more lvls isnt a good idea and stuff are either n00bs at lvl 30 (bought an archie) or they have just lvld to 30 and scared that everyone else will get to the next highest lvl b4 they do personally i thinks its a wicked idea it give the lvl 30s something to do apart from pking all the little n00bs (and my alt army im trying to create ;D )

Where'd that deleted post go?!?!

but still how does that solve the problem of the number of level 30s? so people can level the 30's to 40 but soon enough its going to be the same again. What, u just keep adding 10 more levels when the numbers get high enough?

It doesn't, what they should do if they go along with the reset idea is, keep exp gaining the same it is now, but increase every levels exp by 4, that'd reduce the number of level 30's. ;D

I say..why a lvl cap at all? Just make the exp standard raise as the lvls go on and let people lvl to their lil hearts content. But once they got to a certain lvl make them have to stay in a different area, with the higher lvls. Like, a Jahanna kinda world. But with taverns and stuff of course. Know what I mean..? No one would ever get bored then..because there would be no limits for their character.

how about this.

no leveling whatsoever.

no exp counter.

no levels that can be counted.

hp/mp is gained at intervals that are semi-random and will vary from person to person.

equipment requirements will be unknown, and everyone will just have try it out once in awhile to see if it fits them.

viola! no discernable levels = nothing to complain about or improve upon! does that make it perfect?

hmm the only thing that would be acceptable for me (but prolly not for others) is having no lvl cap.

most of you got bored with training and i still like it :D

but i say just leave it this way though :D but if it has to be changed don't put a lvl cap on :D

Title: Re: 10 more levels!
Post by dognapot on 08/18/03 at 09:15:32

jurian the problem with that old idea is that people like you will accumulate a huge advantage over others in time. there'd be like a dozen people who'll just do nothing but train and be level eleventy-hundred while everyone else is saying "wow, 34 is a neato level". so you'd have a completely disporportionate power base that only gets worse over time. that's a bad thing. then on the other hand, if unlimited levels don't change hp/mp, equipment, etc. then they're no different from having limited levels.

hey read my last setence :D i like it the way it is but if they had to change it that would be the best way for me.

one problem you failed to c there though is the 10 lvl pk limit.

there won't be many ppl to pk for ppl like me. if you get too many lvl's nobody will be able to get pk'ed by you.

at the other hand, looking at exp tables and all lvl 35 should be like 1 billion exp and lvl 36 like 1.5 billion lol.

so that won't make too much of a diff really :D

Yeah, but they would have an unfair advantage on monsters/bosses being able to kill them much quicker and getting the drops.

look maybe you could get to lvl 35 that gives you 50 more hp and 10 more damage a blow (just on average and all not including zerkers) that doesn't make much of a diff on a boss with 200k hp :D

anyway why discuss this? it's not gonna happen :d

I like Astrona's idea a lot but for it to be implemented it would take along time with both area developers and JLH's help in creating it and would probably be one of those things that would be added at the bottom of the to-do list and be along time in coming with the wider world not being told how it is progressing and when it has been started. I would recommend JLH to add it to the list but it probably wouldn't be an immediate priority if you see what I am saying.
