Just a theory. The tier of magic one can successfuly learn or cast depends on level. Level depends on experience gain. Normal people with average talent will never gain enough exp on their own (and thus level up) to cast more than 2nd tier magic before they die of old age. (Limited life-span)

One way to compensate is talent. Like Ninya's ability to shorten time taken to learn spells or Nfirea's ability to use any magical equipment you can potentially short-circuit the exp gain process. Imagine if Nfirea gets his hands on a world class item. He can probably power-level like crazy.

The other way is to lengthen one's lifespan. That is to give up being human and become one of the undead.

I think Players are ridiculously OP because they are not bound by life-span limitations like the people of the New World. Yggdrasil was active for 12 years from 2126 AD until 2138 AD. The 6 Great Gods and the 8 Greed Kings appeared 5 to 600 years ago in the New World. Time simply passes differently between the real world and the new world.
