I do wish they give us other areas to level up like how RO was. They had multiple cities with multiple leveling areas, although the monsters in those different cities were almost the same at least you get other places to grind on and a change of scene is always better sometimes.
I also think that multiple starting points wouldn’t really be a bad thing, again just like how RO did it. A very linear path + grinding is never good. Would be better to see people in different maps. Not just 1 map filled with people of the same levels.
I remember, back when I still played RO, I have the choice to pretty much level up at different places. Since they had different maps filled with a specific level bracket that I can grind on.
If they pretty much change this issue, this game has a long way to go.
