If it brings new players to the server they are sure to come to Guk. If you stick it out a bit you might be painting that zone red nameen?

Cool changes. My suggestions would also be to remove the FFA pvp status of sol b and permafrost. No reason anymore for that all it leads to is lowbie groups gettin stomped by 60s. I also still strongly believe this server needs some sort of PR relaunch to attract a new wave of people. Perhaps a month of special gm events / legacy items going back in / special exp bonus on top of normal one / something really cool like put some nice items on lowbie mobs scattered throughout norrath etc. This might be the last chance we get to attract a wave of new players so we need to capitalize on it.

Also we need to clean the forums up. Just start banning people like chewie in game if they are going to shit the forums up about making people quit. People will get the message real quick.

Long term cool ideas: in game leaderboard that somehow credits healers and support as well. Pvp insignias for appearance loot / pots. More world shaking so we get more pvp.

Thanks derubael Sirken rogean etc.

No offense chewie, but arent u like 56 can't you attack 52-60's already? this is like a minor inconvienience to someone as red as u

Just put legacy items on a PVP vendor and have insignias start dropping. Just make it less convoluted then SZ, I had like 6 bags full of that shit because of the tiers and deity specific nature of them. The legacy spawn stuff is decent in theory but will end up a bunch of level 60s and their twinks running legit exp groups out of those zones.

I'm actually ok with some safe zones 1-50 to ease people in but I don't think they should be dungeon areas. The most lucrative places should always be contested. I'd couple that with an increased ZEM in dungeons aside from the ones with insane ZEMs already like Kurns and SolA.

I think a cool idea is that whenever the ground shakes a 100% exp bonus is applied for 4 hours or something. It'll be the best time for new players to level as most of the higher population with Mrbigs-like twinks will be busy going after raid targets.

[heartbrand]

I personally would love a full insignia system like sz. It gives people a reason to keep logging in when raid bosses aren't up and to pvp. But I'm skeptical the staff would entertain it if it was too drastic.

fuck i forgot all about that one. i agree removal of ffa from solb/perma would open up classic zones as an option to level to 60 which are alot more accessible then running all over kunark. pras.
