Here's my solution to this problem (which I have yet to implement): I have 200 levels, but instead of putting a level restriction, I'm going to set up a series of flags, one for each 25 levels. If one of these flags is set, only (n)pcs that are the level of the flag can use the eq., but there is also a "newbie" flag, where if you are <25, you can use it, which will be on some stat-raising eq. so that newbies have a chance ant the begininning. Of course, every 25 levels you have to do something special questwise in order to progress, and doing it gives you more access to eq. Setting it by level would be too hard, IMO, since I am going to keep the levels at a multiple of 25, and also I will have some pretty nice eq for the higher 50 levels, as those quests are going to be extremely hard :) But if you don't have any 'stoppage' for level ups at certain points, you might want to consider item levels. Though it depends on how easy it is to attain levels. Well, the quest idea will need refinement since I am setting up a job system a la FF5:) -Axiem -axiem@swbell.net +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
