[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7372872, member: 4348"] Typically...Anything prior to 2000 the levels went sort of like 1-3 = Basic entry...beginning adventurers 4-8 = The adventuring party. This is where the majority of players adventure and parties go adventuring at. Many never go beyond this point 9-12 = High Level Play - Name level. This is where characters get titles, lands, etc. This IS the high level play of this era (also, if you reached this level, where it was expected that most characters would start to retire and become NPC's of the land). 13 - 18 = Very High Level Play. This is where you start taking on and defeating Demon Lords and the rulers of the universe. (at this point, almost everyone would retire and become the super high NPC's of the world or various planes of existence). 19 = The transition to... 20+ = Epic level play...insane play...super powers play...etc. This is where almost no one ever plays, YOu are basically the walking epitomy of power. Games here can range from 20...the the absolutely absurd of 100th level or more. [/QUOTE]
