The Next Fix: Blue Copies

[heartbrand]

Again, if not this, what are other people's suggestions for the absolutely abysmal new player rate on this server with the ghost town environment and complete abcense of exp groups from 1-60? To say "deal with it" seems meh to me.

I think copying them over as level 40's would be good. I don't think the players on blue would even enjoy coming in at 60 and dealing with PvP like that from the beginning.

When you think of players coming over from blue I think the ones that would be good assets to the server would come over in small groups or possibly entire guilds. If they came over as 40's they could group up and see how much is for the taking on red compared to the overcrowded blue and may enjoy it.

A copy is just a free character. Everyone will do it because there is no downside. Even if you never log it in you might as well. Same reason I have like 5 max level characters in TERA and EQ2...they gave them away so I took the 10 seconds to login and create them.

You might see a higher population but it will completely lack substance. That number is meaningless if it isn't people competing and putting effort into the server. I could run around the office and install EQ on every computer and create a level 1. Boom, +50 population...but meaningless just like this would be.

Then copy at lvl40, naked then, or level 50. Thats one of the reasons why i suggested a wipe, cuz people log in and face a brick wall of a solid month of soloing before theyll encounter any pop.

I disagree with your belief on that. Not much more I can say but I respect your view nonetheless!

I could see 40 being decent for a compromise as well.

The issue this is meant to address is how difficult and uninviting this server is to new comers. This was meant as a way to quickly get people from Blue into the level range where they can actually play this game with other human beings [46+]. If someone has another suggestion of how to do so other than "TOUGH LUCK LULZ" please enlighten me. [Mine is boxing, but Nilbog has stated that boxing is basically 100% out of the question, so I did not bother suggesting that, and in all fairness boxing DOES come with a lot more issues than a one time copy or transfer with no items and potentially level capped comes with]
