Adding to the patch notes, we detailed the leveling system taking into account the amount of experience needed for each level, as well as an estimated play time to reach each one.
In the past couple of months we've also created content to put into the game, but we hadn't yet created the economic system that's needed for it to work, so we also did that. We've created pricing for Roylium, which is the type of currency that can be bought with real money, and we've also estimated how many credits you can get per play time. Along with this, we've also devised a reward system per level where you'll unlock in-game content like avatars, weapon skins and other cosmetics.
None of this is yet implemented into the game.
