As a player I don't think the Application Forum should be used for leveling up, or skills. The GM team isn't very large, and the most active of them just recently resigned. It's replacing a tedious but harmless leveling mechanic with a system reliant on constantly attentive Staff, which not to offend them. Are likely in need of better in-game means of collecting chat logs, organization, and transparency with the community.
Things that should be addressed before we put it upon them to have to read through logs and upend the games entire progression. Progression that while tedious at times, made it very enjoyable to a New Player like me who doesn't always have the free time to keep up with people and get into the game. Something I wouldn't be able to do in other Byond titles. Especially if you gate skills, levels, etc behind GM's having to read logs.

I also wanted to say that the new OOC Corner has more effort put into it for a hangout for people not RPing than most actual portions of the map. Genuinely I think rather than gating levels and mechanical advantages. We should build up new areas like Loyrwell, the boom of RP in that area while it only lasted a month. Was exciting, and again to hark on an old point. Having more lore available for players to confidently create characters in the world, and more interesting locales would help.
If we can slip in OOC Combat Clubs with that much polish, then we can support Dev and wait for large scale areas with the same attention to detail.
