Default Summary of PvP Box History

We all want a competitive advantage, and the fairness of said advantage is dictated by the Devs. It can be legit or non-legit. A guild, or MQ. A leveling spot you know about, or rechargeable wands. Some previous boxes had biased GMs. But it's whatever.

We all come in with expectations of getting this advantage, but when we realize it doesn't work the way we expected, it gets changed, OR our advantage isn't as useful compared to other people's advantage. This is when numbers start to dwindle.
  • He got that item before quest got taken out, but I didn't
  • He keeps wanding me
  • Our guild sucks OR their guild is better
  • This takes too long to level
  • Insert random QQ here

It happens every box. Sooner or later we will realize the super slow xp rate and other classic things are unnecessary time sinks. I'll post my solution elsewhere.

On the contrary, I believe the slow xp and classic features are what gives the game longevity and meaning. There have been plenty of attempts at non-classic PvP emus, and none have been particularly succesful. Red99 is already a staggering success, so doom and gloom posts are pretty fucking idiotic. The server is doing great, some people just throw tantrums if it isn't exactly what they demand.

The xp rate sucks so bad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

but it is good for us, and we do need it. And c'mon Castle, there are already like LOTS more Thex daggers on this server than there should be. You can probably buy one for 50pp due to thex inflation.

Get rid of all Thex daggers, as if they never existed. What do people lose, the small amount of time spent making a level 1 hobbit? It was a ridiculous quest that gave an item with way too much + sv disease that didn't even need to be equipped as a melee weapon.

If they had the good sense to remove the quest they should have the good sense to remove all daggers from the game. Pretend they never existed in the first place. Otherwise this is the kind of move that alienates players and makes them play elsewhere. Is that what we want?

The easy answer is to actually edit the item itself. Drop the disease resist down to +5 in the items file. Easy fix to a stupid problem.

Want to see who exploited to level, compare their played time to their current level in the backend database.

+5 instead of +50 works too. I actually prefer that. Not that I mind losing an item I didn't have to work or camp for, but at least the power of the dagger would fit the ease of the quest.

I hate the slow xp and ill be way behind everyone to 50, but I think this server will last where others fell.
