Server Future

[Petroni]

I will update this initial post periodically as anything we agree on becomes firm 'policy'

At the moment the guidelines I am working on are :

1 Server should aim to offer a minimum of one years gameplay for an 'active' player
2 Server is aimed at players who expect to work for what they get, not event handouts
3 Structure of server will aim to provide a life up to level 75 but may be lower (70)
4 Red Moon quest kit is the baseline kit we assume all will work towards
5 Kit is already in game to provide useful items to those under 45 leading to RM kit
6 Kit is starting to drop for those over 45 slightly better than RM kit (new Adamantine)
7 Caves in play include Fox, Ship, PSC but are set to be for lvl 45+ with good base stats
8 Pets are ingame and are available to all classes. Deva/shin issue under discussion
9 Exp levels will be looked at as they tough from 55ish upwards and may be lowered
10 Dave is helping as a developement GM. This thread is to provide framework guidance
11 I assume all players get bored with their initial class of char and will start other class/s
12 Group/Guilds will be the aim. Solo hunting always ok but servers will promote groups
13 Very high stated items will be reduced to conform to a lower rate server *
* this will include some items that have already dropped that may be excessive stats *
14 Low rate will try to do what works for us, not necessarily 'what other servers do'
15 Low Rate needs income and we must promote income or its stops - its that simple *
* Those who contribute will have an advantage
16 The server will promote a low PK environment, pk is acceptable but penalties harsh

These are my initial proposals and are shared as the basis of further discussion but also to guide current work. Despite this, nothing is set in stone and may change

Views?

I agree with group hunting but i'm hoping this isn't made compulsory as overall i prefere soloing hence being a taoist.
I also agree with point 8, Taoist definately need to be considered with pets as its a tad unfair; shin and deva are more of a barrier than aiding with leveling.

I agree with most of the things said aswell.
1 year for active people? What about the ultimate geeks like us Pen!? I want 2 years!

Also aswell as the Ada kit, there are other 48 kits, such as "HelmOfEvil" etc, which may need adjusting.

9/ on the above list (first post) applies

Exp amounts for levels 46 and above are changing.

Thanks to a bit of work by Wacey (many thanks mate) a smoother and more sensible exp increment per level will be applied as soon as I can close the server and back it up (in case I cock it up)

The new exp amounts per level will have a positive impact on all players level 46 and above. The higher the level the greater the impact. Penny will go from 57 to roughly 66, Tao will go from just 52 to well into 54, Silencer goes from part way thru 48 to well thru 49

Anyone lower than 46 will not see any effect. Anyone at lvl 46 will only see a very small effect.

If everyone agrees i may bring the reboot forward a day and get this underway as i know many want to see it implemented Now!!

Any questions pls post here rather than msg in game.

Also see the post Exp Quest which provides more detail about the benefits of doing this and the current and proposed exp tables/amounts per level.
