I think the reason people seek out and choose this particular server is to avoid things exactly like what you described.

Not knocking you, I just think that people come to this server that was created with a very (semi) specific timeline/rule set/goal in mind, and then try and tweak or change it to fit their particular tastes.

In any event, maybe not a bad idea somewhere else, but certainly this isn't the place for it.

I would have to count myself among those people. A couple of the things that sort of break the classic feel for me is the economy, although it’s not near as bad as I would expect given the age of the server. Also I never bumped into Pling to the extent I see it here.

I would hate to see a pay to win, but if you are using plat you earned in game is it really any different than paying someone to PL you, or twinking out an alt?

Hmmm. Let me think for just one second. Would paying a GM to insta level your character to 60 be the same as paying a player to spend hours and hours power leveling you, or spending plat on awesome gear for an alt and still having to spend hours and hours leveling that alt?

I think I know the answer, but I'm not sure.

You got me there twinking an alt was a bit overboard. But you would have to wait hours and hours for your petition to be processed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Time that would not need to be spent in game.
