A game,&lt;br&gt;by its nature, has a beginning and an ending. These&lt;br&gt;persistant games are a novelty in game theory. Most&lt;br&gt;for-profit games merely seek to endure until the designers&lt;br&gt;roll out the next game, and support flags. It is a testament&lt;br&gt;to our coders past and present that our game endures.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Hero system actually works quite well, the scaling&lt;br&gt;gets atrocious, and most of our large level players simply&lt;br&gt;use their &gt;+8's to facilitate their alts. Alt-twinking&lt;br&gt;is a device to retai players, all MMO utilize this, and we&lt;br&gt;are no different. Large characters and game knowledge *should*&lt;br&gt;facilitate faster alt raising. If every alt were a painful grind&lt;br&gt;even our most ardent players would vanish in boredom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;High end areas should challenge the high end players. There&lt;br&gt;has been a ton of yammering about Kyldiss. Had it been planned&lt;br&gt;in 1995 to endure for 2007 the mobs would have scaled automatically.&lt;br&gt;OK, so, I didn't plan it. Sorry. But it is our right to &lt;br&gt;continually make modifications to the game. Administrators &lt;br&gt;learn to, we arent born with infallible knowledge. The few&lt;br&gt;people who engaged Kyldiss as it was meant to be done have&lt;br&gt;enjoyed it immensely and Im happy for that. Those who see it as&lt;br&gt;the root of all evil, well, sorry for that, if you have something&lt;br&gt;constructive to say, offer it in a amicable attitude of willingness&lt;br&gt;to help, you'd be amazed at the response from me or any other volunteer&lt;br&gt;wizard when we sense you want o help and are interested not in&lt;br&gt;selfish gain but a genuine love for this shared environment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ego was removed about 4 years ago becuase of a large number of&lt;br&gt;problems it generated and its serious lack of transparency. This&lt;br&gt;of course led to other problems, namely overpowered twinking.&lt;br&gt;So, last night I added code to support minimum weapon and armour&lt;br&gt;levels, that relate exactly what level you must be to use an item.&lt;br&gt;Transparent and simple. 4 years too late? Maybe, but well see&lt;br&gt;how it plays out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I started one a few of the more obvious items adding minimum level&lt;br&gt;code. Some you won't like, some you will, overall I hope it&lt;br&gt;helps the experience and I hope it revitalizes a primary use of&lt;br&gt;enchanters. Also, people will now investigate other alternate items&lt;br&gt;instead of using the exact same items over and over. Gear progression&lt;br&gt;is always fun.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyways, hope the wall of text didnt crit you for 10000 damage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lots of love,&lt;br&gt;Fin&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
