I find it funny that every hard core player just assumes that everyone can get trans 99 in a couple weeks. Not everyone plays for 4+ hrs a day and not everyone, especially new players have the gear, connections, etc. to do that.I have to dissagree with leveling having to be difficult in order for people to not quit. Yes, if leveling is the only thing to do ingame, then yes, people will quit if they finish leveing easy fast. But I would rather if there was more things to do, and leveling was just a part of them. Besides, leveling as now isn't well dessigned: you flee through the first 99 levels, then flee through the first 99 levels again in 1~2 weeks, then spend your life as a third class. Why are there that many levels and monsters and eden group and job changes and transing and things dessigned for that 1 week of your RO life then nothing much after?
If they are going to fix that somehow, then good: make it so the biggest part of your RO-life is the part filled with events, not the 1-week part. RO has 150 levels from which only like 40~50 actually matter.
To the person who said job levels should come slower, most people don't agree with you. Most people would rather get their skills a little quicker and not have to finish off job levels after hitting max base.
