  I'd like to see that also - it certainly provides some better aim than just 
wander around and kill things (and lets be honest, even some of the very simple 
games like nethack, wizardry I, ultima I, etc at least had some goal).

  I think that leveling up may be seen as what you do in crossfire, when you 
lack any other goals.

  That said, a question is still what happens when you finish all the quests. 
Do you just call it quits?  I haven't played many MMORPG's, but most seem to try 
and keep some interest.

  But under such a scheme, the question is still what should gameplay be like 
even under that system.
