That's alright, I'm sure these ideas are open for other mmorpg developers

Actually, the best way you can do it is to have an experience bar for every skill. This promotes usage of the skill to improve it. I've always told gravity that the best way to do a mage would've been that they start out with lvl 1 every spell. If, for example, you wanted lvl 9 soul strike, or lvl 10 firewall, you're going to have to work your way up to it. My mage casted strictly lightning bolt, but suddenly one day he knows how to do lvl 4 napalm beat and lvl 9 soul strike. Skills aren't meant to be increased like that. It's kind of like a person who's getting levels through making sandwiches, then all of a sudden is a master at driving a car 
On top of that, I've always had the problem of "Why is it that an adept mage with 20 spells under his belt, i.e. lvl 99/50, can't learn a new spell whereas a new mage who just started out can learn it much faster then the experienced mage can?". With the skill exp system, anyone can boost their new skills a couple of levels easily by using them a few times, but if they wanted to get it all the way to lvl 10, they need to use it a LOT.
Would you agree that it makes more sense this way? 
it's too bad Ragnarok didn't implement this. I would have more fun leveling an acolyte/mage/merchant/etc... if my skills were dependant on me actually using them 
*BakedBeans is still anxious to know exactly what Sasami's game is gonna look like.
Not because I want to know if it's good or not, it because I mainly want to know if she's totally serious about making it. There are so many small projects out there that start out the same way (bunch of people get together and want to start making a game) but suddenly the project is scrapped because they weren't totally serious about it and found it eventually too difficult to continue any further.
So, I'm gonna leave an option open for her. I believe Sasami won't finish her mmorpg. Why would I say this? Because if she does, she gets to happily tell me off with a "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" 
Good luck Sasami |

i like that idea bakedbeans. it makes sense to me.
and i know what u mean about dumping projects too. i was working on a game before and it flopped. everyone was really excited about it, and we had people working with us that had experiance making games before.. but the leader just kinda gave up and dissapeared. oh well..

on the other hand, there's also exampel of bunch of people getting together and create something, such as Gainax and megatokyo, but as usual nothing is sure, but I do hope that both Sasami's and bakedbeans projekt becomes a succes, any way, we can still use this thread for discussing ideas, who knows, we might fall over the next big gold nogget, which then will be well discussed by the time it can be implemented

yep, megatokyo as in the comic, stumbled over it 4 days ago, finished reading all page so far yesterday (would probaly had done it earlier if I didn't had school to take care of).
Gainax is an anime producer company, started as far as I know, by a bunch of otaku, they are the company behind Gunbuster, wing of homineias and Evangelion
