Dear Ragnarok,

Do you play the game Ragnarok Online™? Then maybe you’re familiar with one of these problems:

• You’re too busy with school or work, and you don’t have a lot of time to play.
• All your friends seem to level faster than you do.
• Everybody goes to new, exciting high-level maps, but you can’t go there because you’re not high level enough.
• There’s this item that you want to have, but you don’t have enough zeny to buy it.

So you spend hours and hours on level grinding in order to gain the experience or zeny you need. At first leveling was fun. Killing a monster here, whack a monster there, pick up loot, occasionally a level up. But after a few weeks or a few months, things just aren’t fun anymore. It has become routine. Does this all sound very familiar to you?
