Discord - how do you handle people who just don't log in that much?

This discord server was not intended to have any pvp points system...

Getting to 50 should be pretty hard. On live no one made it to fifty. Apostle made it to 46 or 47 and got his brother up to like 35 or so. His bro was a ranger and he used him to track since apostle was a saint and didn't hax.

Didn't make official hall of fame because of name policy violation (Apostle Paul)

Sad story.

You can't really compare how people will play on this Discord vs live. Live was based around PVP points, and it was actually somewhat of a hindrance to outlevel the competition. Although you could kill anyone, only +/- 20 gave PVP points, so if you're 45 and the majority of the server is sitting in the 20-30 range, you're losing a good amount of potential targets you can kill for points. Plus, once you've killed off a bunch of the level 30ish people they either quit or restart, creating even less opportunities to gain points. If you look at the top 5 or whatever from discord on live, only 1 or 2 were over level 30 - the rest farmed points in the 20s.

If level is the only deciding factor on the winners, I can all but guarantee the people who are victorious will actively avoid PVP as much as possible, play a class that can solo outdoors exceptionally well and have good escape abilities (i.e. druids, wizards and necros), and stick to out of the way large zones where they can see people coming a mile away. Plus, to the original point, if you managed to hit 50 it would be in your best interest to simply retire the character.
