This is why I consider leveling completely ooc. Because I don't think that any of my characters would go around slaughtering citizens or even cute fuzzy animals all day. You could simply say that you are practicing your skills by fighting creatures, but, if I am a mage, I don't practice by going around killing things, I would practice by studying tomes, or reciting a few spells.

So yes, to me, leveling in general isn't very realistic. I have played a mud where you gain experience purely from roleplaying.. which is a nice way of doing things if that is what you want the focus of your mud to be. And, like some people have said, if you want a pure rp mud, you can do away with levels and exp completely.
