While it's true that I'm a newbie to Circlemud and programming muds, I want to point out that the 50 levels were already set up for you in the stock mud. I do understand the desire to have more levels, players and immortal, but please consider this: when you change the number of levels, you will have changed the balance in the game and will have to spend lots of time rebalancing everything to the new levels. I, strongly, suggest you do not do that until you're familiar with Circlemud and have added most of the additions that you've wanted to make. By that time, you'll be totally familiar with your mud and code, but you'll be very proficient with coding so to be out of your way while you're trying to figure out how to balance the additional levels. Believe me, when you add skills/races/classes, you're going to have a difficult enough time to make sure it's balanced to the 50. Imagine the trouble you're going to have if you've added those skills/races/classes to the 200 levels that you never got right in the place because you were in a hurry. Ok, a statement. I don't like flaming either and I wanted to reclarify the intent of my last posting on this thread. It was not my intention to flame anyone. If anyone took it to be flaming, then I apologize, but the main message of my posting still stands and is valid.
