I can see that you love to level up, I know many many Korean grind hell games you would love (lineage 2 comes right to mind damn what a grind)

But....what you must grasp is that "Leveling up through a massive grind" is NOT (((UTTERRRLLLLY NOT-WATCH MY CAPS-NOT) what must define the genre any longer....

It just plain old school BS that is long since ded, dee eee dee, ded.....

Modern gamers (some old some young) are just not going to stand for it anymore. It's slow and boring.

You might as well be here spouting off about how the world so go back to horse and buggy vs cars.

It's over Xoo, the jury is out, boring grinds are on death row.

Course nothing is stopping you from visiting them there. But please stop compagianing to release that public terror back on the streets.

What we are saying is there are 34720340234802830482093840983204 more fun ways to make a game fun, challenged, and engaging without having "level ups"

Look at the ratchet and clank series or the Jax and Daxter series or the Assasin's creed Franchise. All these games have rpg elements and a well paced character development from weaker to very powerfull.

Closer to our own genere you can look at the record breaking Guild Wars, and guild wars 2 (which looks awesome btw I hope you role-play it with us ^^) which are essentially "level-less". They tout "If you love mmos you'll want to check out our game, if you HATE mmos you'll REALLY want to check out our game."

And they are right....

In the modern gamers perspective more of the game should be FUN with less boredom. A game should be a compleation of 15000 small rewards that are challenging yes, but very accomplish-able in a play session of a couple hours each.

A game shoud not just consist of a few fun parts that you get to do very occasionally after a long grind of boredom. We don't think that's okay.... I won't stand for it in fact.

I want to challenge my game developers to THINK and inovate, and to be creative and really apply all their artistry and talent to a game.

I think they deserve that from us, NO i think this medium NEEDS that from us as gamers.

Join the revolution Xoo, fight for better games, fun games, memorable game moments every time you log in.

POWER TO THE GAMERSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
