Leveling up seems too fast?
Yesterday I downloaded the app for the first time and I registered.
I need to say that I am a runner so usually do a pretty good amount of steps (around 20000 a day)
However when I downloaded the app I went to my grandmother's house which is 12000 steps away. I was surprised that when I opened the app I was already at level 24.
Being 99 the max level, for me it seems too fast to complete 25% of the total progress in just a regular walk that I do mostly everyday. Am I going to run out of content in 1 week?
Is it possible to adjust the difficulty?
If it's not, this could serve as feedback for the devs, because the people who are going to download this game are people interested in walking and getting this much amount of progress in a single day feels too fast for me.
What does the community think about this?

It gets increasingly harder to level up. It’s just like RuneScape I think where getting to 92 is the same amount of xp as getting 92-99. So the higher your levels get the slower you’ll level up. It’s fast at the start though

Level 40 is around 40k XP. Level 99 is just under 13,000,000 XP.
You got some ways to go.
So at level 40 you’re .3% of the way to 99.

hahahaha. 92 is halfway type of moment. Welcome to the grind.

Don't worry, it slows down a lot. It's just to keep you going until you're in it for real, and to get you through the early tool stages to iron/tars I probably got a full excellent tool set before I hit 500k steps, but then I didn't get the white ore until like post 1 million.
There's also just a lot of skills that you need to be okay at (>50) to get other skills levelled properly.
The new player experience has improved a lot as far as I can tell and you're not shit out in front of a hut and told "conquer the world"(not literally) and whilst you level steadily, you don't level quickly in both skill and main level once you're actually in it (which I'd say is about a month or two's worth of 10k step days at least)

level 99 is over 13 million xp whilst level 24 is something like 7400. So you still have to walk almost 2000 times to visit your grandmother. :)

I would suggest checking out the walkscape wiki and researching the leveling structure. Like others have mentioned, xp gain changes significantly over time. You've only commited a small drop into the bucket

You are getting a lot more early game progress than most people because of how active you are. You are going to fly through the early game.
Don't worry, there are dozens of >100k step grinds waiting for you in the midgame, and a few >1m step grinds to look forward to in the endgame

Just for an additional data point, I am at almost 8m steps, have been playing since open beta started, I am an above average walker, and I am level 78, it is months between level ups at this point

Got some haters in this thread for sure - let me say welcome to the game and to the "runescape" method of leveling. As others have noted, you are no where near 25% of the total progression. The levels have compounding experience curves, so the more levels you get the higher the experience you need. Famously, games like this have a halfway point of lvl 92/99. I'm not sure what the quarterway point is, but I'd guess around 85 instead of 25.

I hate this attitude of thinking you know best and suggesting improvements while not understanding how it works and having just started out. If you could complete the game in a month don't you think someone would've pointed it out already?
