Why do you level?

[_____________Vhorgan]

I level because EVERY level is AO is a reward. Occasionally there is that nano that catches your eye that prompts you to level quickly to attain it, but for the most part you are able to use new gear and or formula just about every instance that you have leveled a few times. This level limit game Funcom is playing will make AO just like all the other exp treadmill games out there right now. Another reason that I level is because there is no reward for staying at the same level. If there were perhaps some sort of activity (besides currently pointless pvp) that would reward staying at the same level then characters wouldn’t be in such a hurry to advance.

good levels to stay at:
74-for pvp
112-blitz or calm ql 200 missions

Too be able to cast Kin of Tarrasque(Level req 195) 25 levels after meeting the requirement.

usually because I haven't got myself stupidly killed lately (soloing a red boss, and stopping paying attention because someone I haven't seen in ages comes on and I want to chat. Hello Mr reclaim ) and so have somehow managed to gain enough xp to level.

Because unlike most of the MMOGs I've tried out there (excepting for UO) I feel like I can actually accomplish something or get somewhere with AO. I can actually level, which feels nice because I'm not very good at powergaming or whatever and just play.

For instance those dreaded Mantezes in Galway County aren't so dreaded anymore to me. THAT's cool to me.

And I always like to just pick a direction and run and see how far I get and see what new creature I can get killed by. Levelling helps me get farther and farther. Saw my first winged flying nasties just the other day in fact shortly before they gacked me. w00t!
