What level is your character?

Post by **ayergo** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 1:32 am

i guess my claim is that if you are hoping to base decisions on numbers, using numbers that cannot be correlated to anything aren't much good. I wouldn't go so far as to call it rancid, but i would say that it is a poor application of science.

You do ask for options, which is valid. I personally think it really isn't so complex. Admin should play. They should go to the servers, they should experience what is going on. They should see how fast they can level, they should watch as others level. I know one of the Admin in particular was a great beta tester back in the day (Go Murk!) and would be in good position to evaluate these things on a face to face basis.

While this would be far from scientific, and won't catch 100% of things, i think it is a much better way to take the pulse of things.

I would reiterate, i don't think what you are doing is a bad or wrong thing, i merely think the data you get will not be good for making any sort of decision.

I beg to differ and I wasn't referring to you specifically about being "rancid" about the idea. Others have made it known they don't care to know, probably because they don't see the need to change anything. Hard to do of course when your somewhat blind.

I've been promised some old information that can be used for a comparison so we'll see how it goes. It certainly can't hurt to take a look to see what the differences are. Then people can decide for themselves.

Ah...yes anyway back to the poll.

5th level with my first (current) character since I started playing on ALFA last year... End of July beginning of August. So around 5 levels in 13 months.
Actually thats probably not right - I've died twice so would it be near enough to 6.3 lvls in 13 months?

He died, I made a new character wich is now level 10 after 4-5 months.

27 month old level 14 druid. I hit level 10 on St.Patrick's day, 2004, so it has taken almost a year and a half to go up four levels.
thats.. nuts..

*Roll about laughing*
Ahem.
Man I love Arien

Thank you.

Swift: 10 or are you about to hit 11? Pick one please.
Darchon: 11
Alyynrobinso: 10
Riotnnrd: 12
Rhannath: 11
Khondar: 10
Mizbiz: 14
Arianna: 13

Made 10 about a year and 2-3 months ago, was about 7k from 13 when I had my only death. And now I'm about 4k from 12, so unless I suddenly get dm attention that makes sense for my pc I won't be leveling for a few months.

Edit: Hurm...looking back at your post seems you were just asking the one person...So guess I didn't have to bother posting.

No worries. I was asking 6 people who forgot to mention their level at the time.

I think the fact more people have have voted here than did so in the PA election says more about ALFA than these numbers will.

Level 8 - alive since Dec 4th 2004......early levels too fast...now real slow as it should be. Much more enjoyable.

Here's a graph I put together while I was waiting for the rice to catch up with the meat and veggies. Enjoy.

Level 5 PC who's been kicking around SG since about december 04 I think, she wandered around a bit when SG went down but returned when it came back up... faithfully.

Hum... strange curve.... I wonder how we can explain the level 4 spike...

1)Looks like a lot of players started their character around the same time...

2)Theres a challenge of going over level 4

Maybe we'll get a good idea if we poll again in a month or two and compare the data.
