Rifleman Archive

I believe one simple fact is being overlooked. The longer the game is out the more time people have to master their professions. I am not a power-gamer and have been playing for about 4 months now. I am just now getting close to mastering Rifleman. It has nothing to do with the patches, its just a matter of time.

Also, as time goes by people learn the game and it becomes easier to play all professions. I played UO from day one, and of course nobody was a master of anything for quite a while but within a year a majority of the players had mastered at least a couple skills.

There will always be new players coming into the game but as a game matures a larger and larger percentage will be masters of their chosen profession. Add in the fact that this game has a ton of Holo-grinding power gamers and you will see large increases of every profession. The big question, will be how many people actually keep the profession after they master it.

there was only a handful on tarq while i worked my way up it took me about 2 months to master. now you cant throw a rock on tarq without hitting one.
