Level Up Your Own Character --- and That Means YOU!!

For those of us who played MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), we know that before we can venture forth in the virtual world, you have to choose a certain character. There are different archetypes that you can choose from but the most commonly known classes are the warriors, archers, mages, and healers. Within those characters are the attributes, which comprise of its strengths and weaknesses and will be your basis for your playing style.

 You then start off as a lowly newbie on a meager city, then you find quests and fight off monsters to save the town and in that process you gain some levels, which will give you a chance to add more attributes to your character – we call it “Level Up.” 

Basically, that’s the whole idea of playing RPG games; you just rinse and repeat this process until you reached the top level where your only option is the end game. This entails massive dungeon crawling, grinding for gears and never ending battle on the PVP (Player Versus Player) arena. But have you ever thought of playing your own character? And I mean YOU!!

We are like our own characters in online games, because we have our own persona and it all depends on our strengths and weaknesses.
