You know, if you become a DM, you'll pretty much be able to get every other level-up for free.
I haven't yet scrutinized this statement for its validity. I'll just take you at your word.
The way it works, is that every month, you get a set amount of DM XPs based on the amount of regions you run as a DM. Then, you can use those XPs on every other level-up (so, if your character starts at level 3, you can buy him up to level 4, play to level 5, then buy him to level 6, etc.). This is very helpful if you're a low-level character in a region of established characters, I think. It can also be used for other things, such as getting magical items for your characters.
In the end, however, it is always subject to DM approval, naturally.
I think it's a good way to reward DMs for their hard work that goes into running things here - as a DM of three RoA regions myself, I know what I'm talking about, there. :p
And, if you've got the time/interest for it, I'd very much suggest joining the ranks of RoA DMs - if your roleplaying here is anything to go by, I think you'd make for a great DM, personally.
