Thanks -bloodskater- for that level it looks awsome!

Okay heres one for those claymators out there! This is for a special level when you have made 10clay models! The exp can be from 0 - 90000exp as long as you have made enough clays! It uses a clay model i made a while back, i thought it looked kinda funny so...

I guess it would be cool to have more levels, even though it's impossible for most users to get to level 30...

It would be a good idea but it would never happen.

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

For level pics we should have guns, bombs, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

I believe that it is okay the way it is. Why add more to an-already decent system? It's not like levelling up is a set EXP point stage after a bit.

Actually, those are pretty good...

Yeah, that's why Tom is trying to save up around $50,000 to purchase a new load balancer that will allow us to add additional bandwidth if we start maxing out our current connection of 1,000mbps. We were over 800mbps coming into Christmas.

For those who don't understand how the level system works, the user with the most points holds the top level. We have long wanted to take it up to 50 levels. The user who is currently level 30 would become level 50 as soon as the new levels were added in.

The advantage to more levels is that it reduces the points required to level up. Right now it takes a long time for people to advance levels, adding more would reduce that time.

There is still plenty of incentive for the top user to keep depositing. If they stop, they won't hold the top level and will drop down in level over time.

Keep in mind I used to be Level 28. Look at my level now after years of infrequent deposits.

its all melee.

Hmmmmmmmm.... Melee. SSBM items, damn copyright!!!

I got a crazy suggestion. We should have 3 different classes of weapons and you can choose what class you want BUT only once. So say for example there were 3 classes Warrior, Ranger and Mage. Say every class has 10 levels and Warrior has swords, axes, hammers and such. Rangers have bows or long range weapons. Finally mage has different staffs and/or wands of some kind. Eh just a suggestion.

There are already enough levels. You know it takes years to get fomr 9-30 afrer the experince increase starts getting mega high after 9.

Jeust wondering, not racist or anything, but why does the skin change from white to black at lvl 6?

Thanks for clearing that up, Wade.
Personally, from what I've seen, Tom has been trying to balance money, function, and usability. But what the hell do I know? I believe for awhile, he was actually barely making a profit, or not even making one. When he was well over, I believe that is when he started the monthly prizes, correct? I remember reading that news posting a few days ago, for some reason or another. He didn't want it to disrupt the fun people had, and turn the fun into an asinine competition where the fun was sucked out of everything.

Not trying to kiss ass, either. Seriously, thanks for clearing that up, Wade.

It's just to be not racist. At least that's what i guess...

It would be great if it required less exp to get to levels, even if i deposit every day for the rest of my life, it would take over a hundred years to get to level 30.
(NG exp calculater)

With alot more levels closer together people would feel more inspired to keep levelling and it'd also help us get some more variety, rather than half the ng community being level 9.

the "site upgrade" you mentioned will just accommodate more users, not change the site. Anyway, changing the level schemes now would probably cause more chaos than its worth. Stay the course I say...

I hope the level 30 icon stays for level 50. That icon just has too much power in it.

LoL everyone has given alot of info

saying if they want more or they dont and i really do thank you for it! but the last thing i ask is that you pop over to my Flash Portal which is opening very soon! and just submit 1 or 2 of your Movies to get it started If your Busy please dont worry about it!!

woah wade, that's huge :0

anyways, as a custom to these 31+ level threads, i must show my wrench :3

it would be good then it wouldnt take me 104 years to get to level 30..

aw, thanks :D it was drawn in flash, and slightly edited in photoshop, though now i could probably get the same effect in flash 8.

Maybe we sould have a few more levels because theres a big gap between levels 10 - 15 now we could have aload of users moan saying when they are on say level 13 or we could add more levels so you go up faster! therefore people would wonna Please more!
