Latale has really easy lvling. I would boast it to have the fastest lvling for an mmo (aside from private servers). This is coming from a guy who often quits mmo's at about lvl 16 because of the tough grind. Thats why I quit maple. Anyways.. what makes the games leveling so easy is the quests. Although they seam pointless at the beginning, just stick it out to about lvl 20 and you will see the dramatic exp increase in rewards, and each quest is repeatable 3X with about 3~5 quests PER level. Aside from just questing, I very highly suggest inviting some random people around your level and party up. The game is so much more fulfilling with people to play with. The community is generally nice, so partying with random strangers is actually fun
. I'm level 59 now.. I know that isn't much for most people, but thats alot more than I expected to get to..seeing as how I only played casually. I would be higher level if I could still play.
