They are indeed mutually exlusive, if one uses the defenition that is most common here. You are not a power leveler no matter what, because you always speak IC and it sounds like you\'re character does everything for a reason. No one will judge you for spending lots of time killing stuff as long as you speak in character. And the issue is not tearing the community apart, because those who RP stay. Those who PL tend not to. I\'ve only been here about six months, but I\'ve seen a new generation of PLers each month, which is usually fully gone by the next month. The community is made up of RPers, as they are the only constant members, and I don\'t think I\'ve lost a single RP friend since I\'ve been here.
The point: kill when you want to. Be IC at all times and no one will judge you. There is no animosity towards anyone who at least tries to be IC.
