    Interesting.... They were going for a diff progression system... Man! That would be interesting! Instead, because of the players, we will again have levels and wow and eq2 and aoc and crap! And nothing will ever be different... cuz players want the same! They want to see level 38 besides their char name... they want uberduber gear, and weapons that give 3.9% to their intelligence and +3 to willpower... YAY!

    Thank you beta testers for letting everything stale...

     

    Yeah, I heard those rumors waay back - WAR being a level-less game... and that originally made me stand up and notice it.

    However, the REASON Barnett gives for introducing levels is quite valid - instant recognition of relative player power.

    The impression I get from WAR at this point is that it actually is a "level-less game in disguise". You're supposed to reach max level pretty fast when the real progression begins in the form of renown ranks, guild ranks, tome unlocks etc. In addition the power level curve is supposed to be quite a bit less steep that the norm. No "level 30 has no chance whatsoever against level 40 here".

    I suppose tiers 1 and 2 are going to go by so fast you can consider them a tutorial part of the game. At tier 3 the chicken mechanic doesn't work anymore so it is reasonable to assume that a T3 character has a chance against a T4...

    In addition T4 areas are almost as large as all the other tiers put together (or maybe much larger) so I suppose WAR will try to get you to the "level-less" part of the game as fast as possible and keep you there.

     

    Renown ranks start at early stage.  It is not a leveless game, the grind of grinding levels and renwon ranks starts preety early, and no it is not easy to level up, shall i tell you why?  Because before the focus testing started I actually tried my hardest to lvl up a choppa the highets i got to was lvl 30 and that was just a pure pure pure grind like ive never seen.  Made my eyes bleed.

    Lol!  You're over shooting with your prediction.  It's highly doubtful that it will be beyond November.  Mark Jacobs himself has repeatedly said that it will definitely be released this fall.

     

    Thats why i said  I think november-december, and may be January.

    I find it quite interesting..

    Especially the bits about adjustable guild taxes and the fact that you can pay mercenary NPC guards to help you hold your keep...

    Oh and Josh Drescher hates people. Hey guys, he's one of us!

     

    Exactly what Failcom said, I remebr how they gave a huge video about 200 NPC;s attacking player cities lol.  I just dont beleive anything anymore, unless its in the game at launch.
