World of Leadale

World of Leadale or Leadale is a VRMMORPG that became quite famous in the In the Land of Leadale series. With over 10 million players in Japan, the game was so popular that it was receiving multiple live public events.

Game
The game didn't feature typical classes like "Knight", "Priest" or "Magician". Instead you build your own unique character with over 4000 skills and items, featuring species such as Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and Draconians.

The maximum level is 1000, however by clearing the highest tier-quest, you can raise the level cap to 1100.

You can earn a title of "Skill Master", which allows the player to grant skills to other players allowing them to level up their abilities. However as the Skill Masters get swarmed by beggars for skills, some had even quit the game. The lower the burden, the devs included Guardian Towers that each Skill Master can customize setting unique rules for clearing it. Those who clear the tower are then granted skill by the Skill Masters. Each Skill Master has a Guardian Ring that can allow him to teleport back to their tower.

Originally seven kingdoms existed allowing players to side with one of the fractions and participate in super popular territory battle events.

Each player account can has up to two characters and often the second alt character was used as storage mule. However as the game already had storage system, whose alt character were often left unused. Foster System was then introduced that allows the players to buy their alt character as NPC. An unique class can even convert those characters into tradable NPCs, allowing players to even sell their alt characters. Players are also able to define family relationship between their main character and alt NPC character by submitting tickets, allowing them to have "children", "parents", "siblings" or "couples" relationships.

FEATURES
Silver Tower exist to bestow skills upon adventures through a trial. It reproduces the Skill Master's unique skill. Thus, the skill masters pleaded to the game staff to change the system. As a solution the game staff made it so that the Skill Masters had less direct responsibility. Player who wanted skills were diverted from directly begging Skill Master's for them. These players now had to first complete the quest generated by the NPC's.


 * Quena's quest is very straight forward. Only those who can climb the tower and reach the top within 24hours gave the right to receive a skill.

Foster System: A system where players can adopt named NPC's in order to encourage trading, Leodale allowed for unused alt. character to be brought by other players.


 * In Leadale, Every account can have up a two character at one time. Generally, people make on their main and one their alternative (alt).
 * Alt character are usually used as storage mules for stocking up on potentially necessary items. However since a player base already has a storage system alt character are often left unused.
 * The unused character can be bought by players in the form of an NPC, this process is known as the FOSTER SYSTEM. A unique class allow some players to perform the process of converting alt characters to tradable NPC. These players usually conduct the ceremony for an exorbitant fee. The standard fee is equal to half of the NPC's value.
 * For rookie players, this system is a quick way to earn a large sum of money at once. For veteran players, changing their characters to an NPC is unspeakably fulfilling. For a system thrown into the game randomly, it turned out to be fairly popular.
 * It was also possible to define family relationships between these NPC's and a main character by submitting a ticket to game staff.
