Default Leveling is so slow...

unless you pay, of course. Honestly, level 86 feels like I've been on it for a week. Starting to remind me of Everquest. Would it kill you to add energy packs? A little more content wouldn't hurt, as well. The game is quickly becoming a boring, grind fest. Moo!

oh, and I still love how every time you get pais, you have to deal with the annoying publish you got paid, not once, but twice. As if anyone on facebook could care less, including me. Who wrote this, the Pep Boys?

Have you considered allocating status points according to what you find to be fun rather than whatever other strategy you might be following?

Leveling hasn't been slow for me at all. Ever since the dragons came out, I was leveling up once or twice per day or two, probably because I now have somewhat high energy and high stamina for quests and monsters. Energy and stamina translate to experience points, which help players level up faster. This makes the game fun for me. Sure, I tend to get clobbered in battles, but it's not a big part of the game for me.

If you've spent your status points on health and defense, however, you've basically built your character to specialize in sitting there and waiting to get attacked, and that's not going to be as fun these days because the monsters have reduced the number of people attacking other players. I did the defense thing before the dragons came out, but back then, it was a very good idea to avoid leveling up because people used to get pummeled when they turn level 80.

I'm level 99 now. My last two or three levels have felt somewhat slower. Because people were saying that attack points mattered to how much damage we do to Keira, I put a bunch of points into attack instead of stamina. I'm regretting it because I've become impatient enough to burn a whole bunch of energy potions and favor points to get to the next level. (I didn't pay for any of my favor points, by the way. I had a run of good luck, and I had a bunch saved up from when the dragons were dropping more favor points.)

According to my spreadsheet, I was level 86 on Friday Oct 2. It's now Oct 12. So, I went up 13 levels in 9 days. From my point of view, there's nothing wrong with the speed of leveling in the game itself.


I completely agree about the pop-ups. I hope the developers consider reducing them. In the meantime, however, you might find this link to be interesting: http://174.37.115.166/cforum/showthread.php?t=61

As for the comment about more content.... In approximately the last month or so they've added dragons, revamped the demon realm, added kiera, and redone some of the artwork. They've also been working on balancing the dragons.

I'm not sure what you are expecting here. I can guarantee they don't have a large development team, and imho they are doing a dang good job. Take a look at games like reign of vampires... In the last 2 months, the one item buyable with r/l money has changed, and a few of the items that can be gifted got new icons. That's all.

Personally I prefer the game without energy packs, and don't see a need for them. I do agree about the pop-ups, but still this is my favorite game on facebook.

Also, imho, the best way to present something to someone as a suggestion is not by non-constructive criticism and name calling. You should work on your repoire a bit.

Levelling at level 120 is even harder. But if you can't be bothered to be a bit patient and work for your next level instead of expecting someone to give you energy to make you level without you doing much about it, then I think this game probably isn't the right one for you. In fact, most games that need levelling probably won't be for you, because they ALL get harder the higher you get. Would be rather boring otherwise. If levelling stayed as quick as it was when I first started in level 1, then I'd be in level 2781623 by now, roughly... and what would be the point?

The only things that go up in price are land, and the unlockable things gained from battle ranks. Buy enough land and only more land, and battle rank items, will seem expensive to you at all.

Also if those items don't go up in rank in gets rediculous. I play another game where the price of land caps out... The most expensive land costs 6 million... I make 50 million an hour in that game... Its utterly rediculous how much money I have in that one, and there was, after about 1 month of playing, absolutely no reason for me to play anymore.

If the game is to easy, the players get through the content to quickly, and leave out of boredom, and a lack of feeling of accomplishment.

As for leveling, personally I think the leveling is easily fast enough. I'm only in my 30's, but with only doing a tiny amount questing, and next to no dragon hunting, I'm still leveling about once a day. My husband and mother in law, are already in their mid 40's and they started playing after me.

If you want to level up fast, its easy to do so, but I don't see the point. This isn't a race, and there's nothing special to gain for getting to a high level.
