With such a wide array of rank names, differing max caps, and sentimentality held by some users, Levels are a great part of the forums, which here in this thread you can discuss favorite levels, levels you don't like, levels you ended up on multiple times, point/level losses, what have you.

These are my favorite levels I've passed through so far:

Level 11, Atomic Punk (my union was made while I was on this level)
Level 12, Rad Racer
Level 16, Magician Lord
Level 18, Flicky
Level 20, Metal Slime (since it wasn't so slow and I loved reaching the 20s)
Level 21, Rescue Ranger
Level 22, Blaster Master
Level 23, Super Bagman
Level 24, I Feel Asleep!!
Level 27, Sheng Long (made my biggest post day, 930, on this level, and became an officer here)
Level 30, Wicked Sick!
Level 31, Ippon! (began hating it, by 50% in I fell in love with the rank name)

Levels 13 to 16 because they mark the best times I've had so far on GS.

I guess I kinda miss the low levels (1-10) since that was back when I didn't know much about the site and was brand new.

I was more interested when I registered for the site. I thought it was cooler back then, especially since it went by so fast back then. Now that it's so slow I don't care anymore.

It was a little faster. Some levels were automatically skipped, and I think it was 18 that went by super fast. Level 20 was made to make up for those levels that went by so fast, and then they made it to where 16-20 were more even.

And you'll be hitting the worst for a while when you reach Level 45. :P It takes 45 days to complete. @other post: Ah, well I never experienced the old level system, I was only active enough to reach Level 8 in my first year. :P

Yeah, although I really don't care anymore.

That system was better in my opinion. :P It was nice being able to completely skip some levels. :P

They should raise the caps up a bit, make things a bit faster. But GS hates itself and will do nothing to improve itself.

I wish there weren't any to begin with, and the amount of time you've spent on the site would raise your level faster or slower. I know I'd probably be a higher level if it was like that.

It's not like people don't already try to spam them anyways. A lot of people would still spend a long time in the high levels, but those that are active for a much longer time period would level up faster. The way it's set up right now, someone who is online for like 2 hours can get the max cap for the day, while someone online for 8 hours would get the same amount.

That's why I said with a higher cap the more active users will get the cap and those less active wouldn't get the cap for example a level could have a 7% cap, say level 42, and more active users would get the 7, those that are only on say 2 hours could get maybe 3%.

So? you'd spend the same amount of time on the site in that level tho. If you clear a level in 3 days b/c you are on a lot well so be it. Its like Pokemon. Train a lot and they gain a lot of levels

TBH if you can get through higher levels that easily there shouldn't be a level system at all.

You could if the cap wasn't there but if the cap was higher and the highest percents before the cap were progressively harder to obtain, it'd be possible to have a system where you'd actually have to be really active to get the cap.

But the cap isn't there so who cares? And really are we going to lose sleep if someone wants to mess around to get more? WTFRC?
