It's only fair
So my brother and I were putting our heads together to try to see if there could be a way to make the server fun and deflate the market etc for newer players, when we came up with two ideas:
1: once a year remove all platinum from game. (or remove like 50% or something, but people could get around that by buying gems or something) 2: once a year make every single item currently in the game (current items, not new items from mobs) No Drop. Meaning items on your character (or bank or w/e) would become no drop, but new items you loot would be normal. I'm not saying that it is necessary at all, but the original release of the game, the expansions came out quickly-ish and people didn't know what they were doing as far as questing and farming half the time, so I was just idly brainstorming and came up with these ideas on how to clear out some of the extra stuff or get the game back to basics. I figure that if the server never goes past Velious eventually this will be a big issue if it isn't already, and while the fix would surely be super unpopular, it may become necessary. It seems that there are like waaaaaay too many uber lvl characters and people just farming the heck out of things, so it isn't as much fun. I just started perhaps a month ago, but making enough money just to get spells is quite difficult, let alone if I ever wanted something like a fungi tunic or whatever. When lots of players are rolling in hundreds of thousands of plat and have bank characters full of nice gear, It just got me thinking: If you made everything no drop, then people wouldn't be too effected by it, because they would still have all of their items, but then all of the prices would change to reflect the supply evaporating overnight, which would allow the newer or lower level characters a chance to farm some stuff and make money. Not a perfect fix, or even really close to one.. But besides a flat-out server wipe of everything, which would really stink, I figured this seemed like an interesting idea.. What do you think? Do you even think there is a problem? Do you have another solution that could work? Also other things could be done once a year like removing defunct guilds or a big character name sweep, or even some of those cool GM events I remember from way back. Or let loose all the gods in different zones to run around murdering people. In my guild on live servers I tried to remove all players that hadn't logged in in over 2 or 3 years from guild to just keep it a bit neater once and a while, for example. | ||

Removing everyones money they spent how many hours farming for no reason. Good idea.

Also i would like to add velious will cause most items value to plummet so youll be in much better shape. Also... velious has a lot of options to gear up easily without spending a single copper. Totally not necessary at this time.
Rogean confirmed once again after velious we will have a progression server. | ||

Don't know what that is.. but it's just a matter of time before the game gets bloated, especially if the expansion list is going to stop with Velious. Theoretically everyone will eventually be max level with max gear and leave because there's nothing left to do.
And yeah, you can always delete all your stuff on purpose or w/e, but not the same as a server reset of some kind. Maybe not even once a year, but that's generally how long was in-between expansions if memory serves. | ||

Something should be done about blue's economy. You guys messed it up bad with all the duping and toxic behavior (price gouging). Deleting everyone's money would help a lot, but it's not the route to go because it is completely unfair.
If you'd be okay with the mean people that messed your server up in the first place being given a chance at rare items, I think something like the casino would be okay. The good prizes could all be no drop.
