Red99 Stimulus Plan (some constructive feedback)

VZTZ players ruined their own lands, I'd really prefer they not ruin mine.

If VZTZ had the anti hacks in place that R99 has and some stable GMs.. it would've never died.

Simple as that.

Without us there would be no R99. We had no home and Rogean listened to our cries.

Problem is, it's not yours. It's ours.

Item loot - brings a different dynamic to the game - people that twink have more to lose, the game means more and every move you make counts. By far the best pvp method. It truly makes people align themselves with like minded folks that have the same goal. People's reputations actually matter. With no item loot you have 3 big guilds that are cookie cutter pve driven with no loyalty to their team. Which brings me to the second structure of pvp...


Teams - Some sort of team from the get go brings the community together. It gives you a safe haven, promotes unity and helping others in the same struggle as you are. It also leads to more PvP when you do happen to see someone from another team. This would also promote loyalty since each team would most likely have only 1 major guild.

Right now the rules are okay. There are at least consequences and later on maybe we will see some big guild vs guild when the majority are level 50 and content opens up. The only thing I would have wanted more is a penalty besides exp (which is already the biggest grind and pain in the neck) and some more unity through game mechanics.

When it comes down to it item loot isn't as bad as people think. You can get some decent no drop gear or risk wearing some gear that you might end up losing. There are ways around losing gear (suicide, attacking mob or guard, pulling +hp item near death, bagging gear before death). The biggest thing item loot brings isn't the reward for killing people, it is the whole social aspect it brings since you actually have to trust people.
Plus how annoying is it that there are items like mana stones that once people have them there is no way to distribute these later in the game. Obviously these would most likely be bagged first when getting pked but the opportunity to grab one from a player is still there. WTF are people so scared about its just a game.

This is my solution: Substantially increase the exp rate from 1-25'ish, but keep the total amount of exp required to go from 1 to 50 as is by dumping the excess experience across 26-50. In short: make the early game faster, and make the late game slightly slower to compensate. Give several weeks advance notice of when this adjusted exp curve will take effect.

^^ have you even thought what this would do to new people trying to lvl from 42 to 50 when everyone else is farming the crap out of them in pvp at 50. basicaly people who hit 50 get a it easy and the res of the people who are now fighting for tons of exp at 42 to 50 are just being farmed for months.
