Yes. But there is something wrong with all of us.

Still is a good idea to do the whole banded thing. That way the OP will have the plan worked out well for the actual launch and can get up to making banded faster for green [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I will definately be looking for Aenor and helping all I can with this project when green launches. Banded is great armor for a young server! Esp for classes like ranger that cant wear past chain.

At launch there is very little plate anyway. Banded is pretty much the best for all classes until Rubicite, which is wearable by all chain classes.

I think this is a cool project, but it does make me kind of sad inside, kind of trivializing the earlier levels of the game. Of course anyone can choose to not do it, but whe you've got people in full banded in blackburrow, but you're in full cloth, that's not a very classic feel. It's not how the game was in March of 1999 (Isn't that the point of this launch?!

Finally a reasoned objection. To counter, I'll give you my real motivation. One of the game's biggest flaws is that casters can run around in their newbie robes and be 80-90% effective while mele classes are gimped by the lack of AC at low levels. By making banded widely available at low levels, its easier for people to pick mele and have more class diversity as the server opens. What makes me sad is 60% of the server being mages and necros. That's not how the game was in 1999 either.

Fair enough. I agree non-clothies need all the help they can get. I still may go the hard mode and level blacksmithing myself, just because I'm a masochist.

Good luck with your Project Banded operations. I hope you picked a deity that lets you make some cool cultural plate in the future!
