It was discussed here prior to the rp starting up. We figured we're all responsible enough not to go crazy with it. Plus, the levels limited things a bit, and because Awakening allows class-changing and magic and weapons, there was no real need for a class system. Just don't go overboard. No Arch Sage Paladins riding a Wyvern wielding the Sword of Seals and Eckesachs.
Pretty much this. Levels introduce restrictions, can isolate new RPers if left in effect for an extended period of time (i.e., "high-leveled characters only"), and make for a lot more bookkeeping for both mods and RPers. Simply put, the cons of a levels system outweighed the pros, in our opinion; we didn't feel they were necessary to produce an enjoyable RP experience.
