I think that there should not be levelling. For some reason, people associate roleplay with leveling, purple equipment, and dungeons and dragons. No, that is a genre of gaming; not a way of playing. Roleplaying is playing a role, as I have said in the past. It in no way is limmitted to a specific type of game genre. I have roleplayed in Mount and Blade online, in Minecraft, in Warcraft III (not WoW - with most gamers on there, it's more of a grindfest than roleplaying experiance), etc. It is the act of acting. If you can pretend to be someone else, or even pretend to be yourself (harder done than said), you can roleplay. Leveling would discourage roleplay and encourage grindfesting.
Just my two sence.
And for the reccord: No, this does not mean I am comming back; I might eventually, once I get some stuff cleared up. I just don't want Kiwike to give up bailing out the water on this sinking server and push it to patch up the holes in the proverbial ship. Who knows? It might even sail better this time.

I will never cease to be amazed by the fact that Tristo was arguably the best companion roleplayer on this server. I just never coupled good ol' funny Tristo as the best evil-doer and plague-spreader of Kiwike.
Look up Epic Moments of Roleplaying Epicness by TheGeckoWithin eppissodes One and Two - you might get some insight onto the early roleplays with him, me, gecko, and Andy, plus some kubrick and Android thrown in (granted the formers weren't in the video).

I miss you Cerce. You inspired me to roleplay and invited me to your town.
And that led to me meeting Tristo. You were one of my first friends on the server. Thank you Cerce. For everything.
And i feel like i was one of the people who made you leave since i left Cerantiace without notice and leaving you almost alone there.
I wish you the best of luck in whatever you are doing nowadays.
Naw, man, it was fine. Just don't stop roleplaying because I stopped showing up. Don't let my epic fail of a nation leader stop you from enjoying a good roleplay, or heck just a simple building contest to see who can make the best mantion. Just keep on digg'n.
