Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream

    187 days of playing 8 hours a day. That’s insane.

  Exponential growth means that you would level up faster and faster at an ever increasing rate.

  Perhaps you mean logarithmic growth, where the rate of increase keeps slowing down?

    The exp required to level up increases exponentially, not the amount you earn

    No, I dont and if you truly need to be pedantic, a logarithmic curve makes even less sense. It’s a generally linear experience curve with each level being about 20-30% more than the previous, but the number get exceptionally large after a while. Level requirements aren’t scaled based on time required, they’re scaled on number experience points required.
