The most important thing. Take five. Auto-translated

Here it is, sorry guys!!

the second and fourth options are the same! It would have been better to write "Roleplaying" or something like that. I played Lineage and enjoyed playing as a paladin/sword singer (although the first was more enjoyable, but with the second, I felt useful). And it's not even about the fact that I didn't have money, gear, a high level, and I wasn't dominating anyone. I just liked feeling like a good knight who tanks, helps his comrades, and heals them, and if necessary, sacrifices himself for them.

They are not the same. There is always more experience than levels.

Leveling up is when you increase your level and brag about it. But Farming is when you grind out experience points from any mobs, quests, events, and everything else, NO MATTER WHAT. EXPERIENCE! GET MORE EXPERIENCE!

But experience does give you levels. If there's experience, then there will be levels. If there are levels, then there's experience.

Well, I don't know, I haven't heard of that. I only played Lineage, and they introduced quests late, and they didn't give much experience.

There might not be any experience gained at level 1. The hypothesis has been disproven.

In that case, the level is better because skills appear. But is experience really needed? Only if you're interested in completing the quest. But leveling up is a chore for me, especially alone. And no one needs the first level anyway.

But following that logic, you could equate "gear" with "money" as well!

yes, but then in some cases, even overpowered gear can be obtained.
you wear the gear, but you can buy more than just gear with money.

If you are Zverev, you can sell the items.

well, in that case, I'll vote for the level-based progression, because I don't like grinding for experience, but I do like gaining levels. Gear and money don't really matter to me either, nor does dominating others.
PS, by the way, there was a test on this very topic. What's important to people in online games?

In general, it's best to get gear with gold bonuses.

The guys get a hold of FULL EPIC SETS with 200% FIRE RESISTANCE. After assembling the set, they run out of gold. (c)

If there was an expansion, the level would be there.

If I had a computer, I would definitely level up! Why isn't there an option for "computer" in the poll?
