I got level 50 the same day that they did the whole inventory expansion update. I finished my story quest at level 29, with almost no side quests (other than teleporting, treasure quests, and weapon unlocks). I hit level 30 when I turned in the rescue the black pearl quest. Then I got my staff, and guess what I did after that? Weapon grinding. Hours of it, with no rewards except gold. I finally reached level 40, and had about 6 months maybe before they raised the level cap again, maybe more. From 40-50, pure weapon grinding. It is a little annoying how much easier it is to level up now. It took me ages to get mastered, and people are doing it now in what.... two months? One month if you are doing the game nonstop? A lot of the challenge has been taken out of the game. James, I agree with you on the revive system. It was a great thing to introduce, but before that you were a lot more careful. You did not want to die. Now, if I die, big deal, my friend can revive me. Don't get me wrong, I love the updates they have been adding... but some of us long time players such as myself are starting to notice side effects with it... example, level ten goes into tormenta and gets him/herself killed. They feel that they MUST get a revive, and if they do, it doesnt teach them that they shouldn't be there, unless they are pretty smart. Back when I was a little pirate, if I ventured into a dangerous place and got killed, I wouldn't come back.
