We have a great deal of players who are farming levels even though there isn't an apparent reason to.
There are a couple reasons to level for now: Free potions from staking rewards dbln without having to buy the potions, Bestiary at level 20, Healer at level 25, Lumberjack at level 45, and steelsmith at level 65. However, some players are leveling to 300 and beyond. Myself, Zomm of the Realm, and Vnrajubh are already past 300. Vn is an astounding level 450. Unbelievable.
There isn't much reason to level that far yet though. So why are we?
The biggest reasons are things that have been teased in discord and lost to time, but recently the first class was announced: Death Knight. Obtainable at level 400 for pillagers only. We don't know any details yet, but the cost of getting to that level is in the tens of millions of dbln. There are a lot of questions about how good this must be.
Might be good to talk about some of the things teased that haven't been officially announced yet. Any of these are subject to change, and these are largely vague hints.
- Guild Wars
Starting with the largest and most confirmed piece of news, we do know that guild wars will be coming to the game sooner or later. There are already guilds in place recruiting players for the eventuality. Hyborian Dream, Nexus Realm, and the Pimp Alliance composed of Pimp, Cartel, Bro, and HIVE Drip are already arming up and preparing for the coming storm.
It's an assumption on our part, but it doesn't seem like much of leap that stats will be important to guild wars.
- Stats
Aside from guild wars, there have been some vague promises that stats would be important. Might not be much to go on, but minibosses are one use planned, but there are more teased as well including more potential pvp options.
- Ranks
The higher your level, the more taxes you'll receive when it's implemented. This is subject to change, but everyone lower ranked than you will pay taxes out of their liquid ingame tokens each day to players higher ranked. It's possible kings and celestials will be exempt, but this was a system they tried to implement early, didn't work, and they tabled for a later update. Still, the team states they still want to pursue taxes in the future.
It may cost a lot of dbln, but this is why myself and a lot of other players are pursuing leveling up pretty aggressively.
If you'd like to give the game a try, you can find it on the Pimp discord or on the Psyberx discord among many, many others.
