If you only got EXP from fighting monsters it wouldn't work correctly.
You could have people at level 1 who post a large amount of words before battling like myself. They'd be level 1 and have over 50 stats. That'd mean you could potentially just socially farm stat points without levels and I could have 350 ATT at level one.

When I said gain EXP, I meant gain both Stats and EXP. That wouldn't make sense all the time though, since some stuff doesn't incorporate battling/fighting monsters. Basically, what I'm saying is someone shouldn't be able to gain EXP or Stats from doing something that wouldn't make them any better at the skills they're aiming to increase. Like I said, it wouldn't make any sense for someone's skills to increase if all their doing in their post is walking around and star gazing, because it doesn't incorporate any of the skills that they're attempting to increase.

But then the leveling would take a very, very long time. Assuming that the EXP increments is by 50 per level, it would take at least 67,500 words to level up until 15. You can see that the word number would exponentially increase until perhaps around what, a million words? Let's see... to level up until level 30... you would require 367k words to go from 15 to 30. So scratch what I said before; It would take you millions of words. To level up only with monsters, and with the average roleplayer posting 500 words per post... Yeah, you can see how many monster-fighting posts there will be, yes? At this point in time, I don't think it'll be a good idea, unless Ty & co wants us to be forever stuck at levels below 15.

That is true, it would take a long time. I agree with you, I don't wish to type up a bunch of words of my RPC fighting ninja

I just had to image the situation in which we had to. XD That would be some grinding. o^o
And because I was bored, I calculated how many words it would take to level up to 100. Assuming that the EXP increments is 50 for each level, it would take around 12,960,000 words.
Honestly, I feel a bit discouraged. D:

I say keep it the way it is and increase exp needed per level.
Mostly because if we changed it my 5k word post I jut pumped out would be useless. ; 3;

It's hard to say how we're gonna make this work... No matter what we do, it's going to require lots of words.

Maybe we could integrate a system where you have to fight a certain amount of monsters before leveling up?

So for level 1 going to 2, you would have to fight 3 monsters on top of using word counts to get 100 exp. This way it makes more sense. I think I got this:

Levels 1-15 | 100 words = 1 Stat Point. 1 Stat Point = 10 Exp. Must get 100 Exp to level up and Must fight a minimum of 3 Monsters to level up.

Levels 16-30 | 200 Words = 1 Stat Point. 1 Stat point = 10 Exp. Must get 150 exp to level up and must fight a minimum of 5 monsters for every level.

Etc etc...

What does everyone think about this?

This still poses the problem of people farming stat points without leveling though does it not?

Yes but you could just use words to get stat points and not kill the minimum amount of monsters, no? or am I missing something key? xD

Stats can't be applied until a player performs a player update, it must be approved by a mod. And if a mod feels that the player has stats that don't fit the players level, then they could be denied having said stats. Perhaps if we created a stat range for every 5 levels to serve as a guide of where a players stats should/could be? This way you couldn't have a player who's extremely fast at lower levels, and so it's not too limiting to those who will end up having high stats due to their RP ability.

And you HAVE to kill monsters every level. It has to be the minimum number that I posted or more. So to level up, you need 100 exp, and at least 3 monster kills, then you can move up in level. Then you do it again.

I think there must be a better way around it. It seems like it could be annoying or limiting to RPers who like to post largely, that some of their hard work would be flat our denied. As a member who loves to post 1000-1500 words a post I wouldn't be very happy if the posts I took time into making lost value because of the fact I used so many words.

Lol! I'm so confused xD

I know you like to post big, so I can understand not wanting to be limited. However, you keep brining up the point of stat farming, and the complications it can bring about. So I'm not exactly sure what you want xD

Not trying to sound rude, sorry of it comes off being that way. c:

No offense taken.
I just want to find a way that doesn't limit how many stat points/levels I can make.
I myself don't plan to do any stat farming, I want my stats to reflect my level. Although I don't want my stats being divided because of my post length.
At the beginning I was concerned about those who will stat farm, now I'm concerned that my leveling will be disrupted because of the system being brought up. I'm not trying to nag or anything and I know nothing is set in stone I just hope a way is found that doesn't allow for stat farming and doesn't hinder those who post largely in hopes of quickly leveling.
