Player level is just for show right now... why not have features get locked and unlocked during level up?
What shouldn't be locked would be taiko and ctb though, since those also contribe to level, and the Difficulty Reduction and Special mods.

Examples-
By the first 10 or so levels, the multipliers (hr,dt,fl,hd) should be locked and only allowed after players get some experience
By level ~20 People can open their own multiplayer rooms?
By level ~30 Editor should be allow (I don't like seeing completely random submitted maps by players who just started...)
By level ~40 We should be allowed to choose a "favourite mapper" (only one, but it can be changed) and display it on mapper ranking~ (I said only one, but maybe more when level is higher?)
By level ~50 Option to show off 1st place boards on Profile achievements?
By level ~70 Allow us to place "afk" messages please~ or have message appear when mouse hovers over user name.(even if this level up thing fails, I want this feature)
By level ~90 .....favourite BAT vote? or not...
By level 100 or something, maybe a choice to "rebirth" (start from lvl 0) or maybe a fancy frame choices for status bar?
...etc
Even without this "level up feature", I want some of those ^

And maybe as each player levels up, they should get some kind of point (osu point or "orz" or something... I'm no good with names) that they can save up and spend on some bonus features.

Just randomly naming some "bonus features" I hope will show up on osu!-
-Megaphone- allow players to !message once per phone~
-Eraser- use about 1 level up point to eraser a old score? use ~10+ to clear one map off grave? ~30+ to vote and give reasons why a ranked map should be unranked?
-Frames- purchase frames for your osu! status?
Yea... just throwing in random ideas...
And Osu!Direct users should of course have more features than normal players.

Course that's asking for a lot, and probably very annoying to manage for those who play Offline.... :o

Peppy has said that all features gameplay and editor wise will be available to all users at all times, the reason why subscribers get osu!direct is because it does not affect osu in anyway other than how easy it is to get maps (which is only slightly more conveniant)

It would be nice however for levels to maybe do something cosmetic.

If you ask me, the whole level thing should be abolished.
adam2046
Well can you give a good reason to not have it?

Less coding.
Less wasted space on your profile.
Less wasted space on your mini-profile in-game.
Less bugs involving level 100 crashing people.
adam2046
Is it still crashing people?
I thought that had been fixed...

It has. However, that's more coding. (See first point.)

But the coding has already been done, so what's the point of getting rid of it? >_>

More code is worse than no code, because more code can have bugs but no code can't. (I don't mean to say no code can't have bugs. Grr English.)

While I agree that more code will make it more likely for there to be a bug, I can't agree with getting rid of levels, they show just how much somebody plays, and how well, seeing as though it will take longer to level up if you suck.
Levels are based off your total score. Levels just put the linear scale into a logarithmic one (I would guess).

So then either have level up mean SOMETHING thats not just numbers for show... or vote to just get rid of it, no?
I remember the days before the level even appeared ._.

I like levels. It'd be nice if there were something, maybe a couple achievements for reaching high levels.

afaik it's polynomial, on the order Θ(x^3), where x is your score ;)

Something like this is what I think would be nice. Or custom usernames or something :\
