I think that the level requirement curve should keep closer to exponential (as it is
in beginning) than linear like it is in the end. In the beginning you really have to
struggle to get a level, in the end you get 5-10 levels from a single quest if you do
your own level quests. It is better to have almost unreachable level 110 (or whatever
be the maximum) than to have several players ending up level 110 and loose practically
all means to gain exp (after 107 you stop gaining exp on that skill). I know exp is
not the main point of the game, but I just hate games where you too easily bang into
the limits. I remember starting to play crossfire a few years ago and having fun at
the beginning, making a level every now and then (level<50) and then all of a sudden
beeing level 110 before noticing.
