I just wish people would stop pushing the new levels thing. It won't fix anything.

Oh? Why not? It won't fix the problems with the current system forever, but at least, it won't take half a year to level up anymore again (until in a couple of years), so while it's only band-aid, it's still better than nothing.

Also, has Tom or anyone said whether the level requirements will still be distributed linearly? I could imagine a system where they're not, which would also make it easier for people who haven't reached the highest levels yet to level up.

And of course, the new pictures will probably look cool. :)

Until levels get far apart agin and people complain again, which is why they have yet to do it.

it's still better than nothing.

Not really, newgrounds would have to calculate more levels resulting in more(unneccesary) bandwidth use. In actuality, it makes thing slightly worse.

You don't need new levels to do that.

Or they might suck, once they're in though you're stuck with them. And that's only the least of the problems with it.

Which is why I said "it won't fix the problems [...] forever".

I have no idea how there'd be more bandwidth needed because there's more levels.

You don't need new levels to do that.

Indeed, but also introducing new levels would make the transition easier, since the difference between an "old" and a "new" level would be clearer.

Or they might suck, once they're in though you're stuck with them. And that's only the least of the problems with it.

The ones that Tom posted didn't suck, at least.

Thank you for your deposit, Peregrinus! You now have 3,000 experience points. You need 868 more to get to level 12.

But if you acknowledge that then why pester the admins to do something that they will just get bothered about again?

I have no idea how there'd be more bandwidth needed because there's more levels.

The quote above your statement explains it. Calculating all the new levels and distances between and how it effects users, which there are a lot of, will suck a lot of bandwidth.

Indeed, but also introducing new levels would make the transition easier, since the difference between an "old" and a "new" level would be clearer.

Not really, all you have to do is cap level 30, which is much simpler.

I'm not pestering them - I'm just not chastising them.

The quote above your statement explains it. Calculating all the new levels and distances between and how it effects users, which there are a lot of, will suck a lot of bandwidth.

I'm still not sure what you mean, unless you're confusing bandwidth with CPU power (and seriously, do you think that that's really a problem? I don't know how big NG's server farm is, but I doubt that calculating XP requirements for 60 instead of 30 levels each day will be a big problem. Not to mention that Tom and Wade and all the NG folks aren't stupid, so if it really were such a big drain on system resources, they simply wouldn't have done it: thus, the mere fact that they *are* implementing it proves that it's not going to be a problem with regard to resource usage.)

Not really, all you have to do is cap level 30, which is much simpler.

That'd work, although I'd personally be more in favour of doing away with the whole "only those users with the highest amount of XP are level 30" thing. Still allow people to deposit, but don't make the level requirements go up anymore. (Or was that what you meant?)

I think it's pretty damn fucked up if they actually go through with something that fixes nothing because of a bunch of crybabies.

Ah, I can see you have read it. Personally, I think Freud is overrated. But the problem with Freud is he is more of a psychiatrist than a philosopher.

No, just my pysc class I only remember from Freud, the ego, id and etc. He is overrated.

Well if you fancy the biscuits theres some on the counter in the basket after you partake in the crumpets.

Hehe, sometimes i hate my father for having me be confined to handheld games XD "CONSOLES WILL MAKE YOUR GRADES DROP." ... idiot. Yet, it makes me have to go and get the games that aren't necessarily SO POPULAR THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM XD. Thing is, the games that make people say "what's that game?" are normally pretty fucking good XD.

I stopped playing console video games in school if I did I would be in 11th grade now. Sorry Mrs. Runnels your son with have to repeat the 11th grade.
