Supposed Big Things...

Can someone shoot me a PM when they finally happen? Getting tired of checking this forum and seeing absolutely no information on these "big changes".

Sirk and Deru should spill what they know already. The silence is retarded.

Game development 101 man, you don't announce anything you aren't 100% sure you can deliver on. Can you imagine at this point if they said they were going to do something then had to come back a week or two later saying it can't be done?

How much more damage can be done at this point?

You mean like promising huge changes that are incoming soon, seven weeks ago, then claiming that the group exp bonus just needs to be finalized by Alecta five weeks ago? Changes that a newbie coder could make in 15 minutes? ok.

Patches fall between 6 weeks and 3 months on the server, pretty easy to look at the history of "patch notes" threads to see this trend.

The good news is we're halfway through the wait for the big changes!

I'm sure you already know the bad news.

This refers to changes in games that are meaningful and include content. BIG CHANGES on this server is an exp bonus, level limit on pvp changed to 4, etc. It is literally 5 minutes of work. There is absolutely 0 content being created in these BIG CHANGES.

I've thought about it alot and I can't figure out the reasoning behind sitting on the announcement for this long. Only thing I can figure is that there isn't really any big changes coming and GMs are covering for something trying to keep everyone around as long as possible.

4 level pvp range would be the nail in the coffin that red99 is laying in

I was just giving examples of changes that might be coming. I really have no idea what they are even talking about and am personally happy with the server as is other than exp rate. The point is there is absolutely no reason they wouldn't be able to deliver on these ideas since it isn't going to be content based.

its basically content based because it would kill any pvp below level 56, which is i guess what they'd prefer to do because pvp is immoral and getting slain for 0 exp loss is considered GRIEF

Yeah level 4 range probably wouldn't be the greatest without pvp being more meaningful.
