Personal time-locked progression limits

[Lowlife]

I would greatly appreciate some perspective from the Blue player base on a possible mechanic to be implemented on the upcoming Teams 99 server.

The idea is that personal time-locked progression limits would be imposed on the server from launch. While the specifics have yet to be outlined, for the sake of this poll one could assume a level progression cap could be something along the lines of ...

WEEK 1: Level 10
WEEK 2: Level 20
etc

If you would please visit the following link and voice your opinion on the poll, and add your commentary to the thread, hopefully we can create a server that will be enjoyable for a myriad of players and play types.

I think any attempt to make sure 'neckbeards don't race ahead' is doomed to fail in one way or another. Since there is a progression, someone will dominate it. If you get rid of the progression, its not the same game. In this proposal, you are just replacing the ultimate cap with a series of smaller caps.

Since you say the intent is to foster pvp and not pve, why don't you just reduce exp gain from pve and increase it from pvp?

If you artificially cap advancement people will get bored and go find something else to do. Everytime someone does that there is a chance that they will just do the other thing entirely and not return to the first thing.

do you think exp gain from pvp *might* be exploitable?

Sure, but less likely with teams I'd think. I'd love a server where I could level solely thru PvP.

I don't understand...why would it be more exploitable than any other kind of exp...if you mean bind camping and griefing, isn't that part of the deal? and isn't there other mechanisms in place to prevent that kind of stuff..really not sure what you mean here. You either get exp from pvp or you don't.

or are you suggesting a pvp server where you DON'T get exp from pvp? I haven't been following the discussions and I'm not familiar with eq pvp but i've played a lot of pvp on other games and pvp without exp seems kind of silly.

It will never work the way you think it will.

there has never been a server where one gains XP from pvp.
