Im not sure if i should be optimistic or not.

Sirken says xp loss is getting looked into but at the same time keeps saying if i want a server like Rallos, i should look into another game.

I hope they take the time to read the input i provided as i took the time to try to project what a server i would really enjoy playing on looks like, and its not a hard tweak to do.

Sirken is really off the mark with his "no purpose to pvping for nothing", theres a reason why zones like Blackburrow and Crushbone were always buzzing with pvp activity on Rallos, because it was pure fun. You have to stop seeing this as griefing that will make people quit the server, its the opposite. People will be trippin balls, smoking bowls having fun pvping all nite on their alts and shit. < Shit's classic.

You guys should just forget this "Whatever goes in, stays" stuff IMO. We can take 2 weeks off completely removing xp loss as a trial basis to see if everybody is enjoying themselves more. I would announce a 2 week trial period with a temporary xp bonus and watch the population skyrocket as word to mouth spreads about how fun the server has become. Id go play my lowbie wiz on the side and ally with non-geared new fishes and play an anti-pk white knight type alt to help em crush twink griefers.

I havent played in a month but the minute i see a post that xp loss has been patched im logging back in.

Sirken believes progression and competition over PvE is the main goal and PvP is the best solution for control over PvE. The majority of the server thinks this way and enjoys progressing their characters. Otherwise there would be a larger mid level population PvPing all the time. It is fun to PvP the top players and for that you need to progress your character, and to do that you need to compete for PvE content. It is fun having a tstaff monk or a couple epics in your group when going after your enemies right?

There are also a large amount of players that don't care about progression, not a majority, but a large group.

I think both views benefit from taking exp penalty out on pvp death and both parties will benefit whether or not they have the same view on what is fun.

The important thing is Sirken has hinted that PvP exp penalty will be taken out and you will be coming back to the server, along with others I hope.
