That doesn't annoy me because I find leveling on Aardwolf to be easier than many muds I've played. There's also a feature that allows you to not gain any experience while you work on questing and other activities to gain quest points which you can use to build up your character by earning extra trains and other bonuses. I've used that feature to earn quest equipment while still remaining level 1.

I've seen some really strong level 1 characters who never remorted who could consistently win duels against people who remorted back to level 1. I've also seen people who are very low level and non-remorts consistently win global quests (competitive quests for specific level ranges).

Like many muds, being competitive frequently boils down to knowledge of the world and game mechanics
