New Leaderboard

[stormlord]

It's a very cool thing Quido. It looks like there's some attempt to reduce abuse by preventing people from killing volunteers repeatedly to boost their totals.

I never paid much attention to the leaderboards back in the day because I wasn't a pker. I just happened to play on the pvp servers. However, it was a fun thing to look at occasionally. I was much more into the eqplayers and mageloa... looking at stats and keeping up on who's playing. It was an awesome thing to be able to do when you weren't playing.

I think many of the modern games frown on leaderboards and and stuff like them because carebears hate competition. They all want to be winners and don't know how to lose. They start losing and they break up like spoiled child, not able to accept their place.

I'll give clue how to deal with losing: don't participate. That's what I did. I said I wasn't a pker, but it's more than that. I alwost NEVER killed anybody else. I was a ranger always running. Some of my best memories are being in crystal caverns and using the maze-like tunnels to escape. Escaping was my art. It was my fun. I was that guy who saw hte raider in the group and didn't get jealous. I drooled maybe. Same thing when a pker killed me. I got made for a few minutes and moved on. Some players couldn't move on. They'd go on OOC and forums and cry like baby.

We received permission to run a small amount of automation on the monitor so that people can opt in to Leaderboard scoring and confirm their level so we can have brackets.

What does this mean?

Anyone who doesn't wish to participate in the scoring doesn't have to. Scoring is weighted by level for those who do wish to participate; we will get into the specifics later.

The Leaderboard will still record all kills that generate yellowtext, but if either of the parties are not opted in, there will be no scoring evaluation for the kill.

We will also be rolling out a nifty new OOC monitor.

New season soon! I hope you guys are as excited as I am! I've been dreaming of being able to do this with the Leaderboard for months, so I'm thrilled to finally get the chance!

programming select * where ?

[Guido]

also idea for next season

do not include same guild deaths as a death - does not mirror the true ratio

as it is now, the points are 0 but the death is still there.

[RIP The Jacka]

also please collect points for clerics and other support classes for the assists

also please weigh points based on 100v1 and 1v1

mucho abligo

[Guido]

look up guido, says 10 deaths

killed by non azrael = 9

killed by azrael = 2

so something is not right
