Evil guilds, more or less folded?

...Then you will also see that I mentioned the problem is that the entire playerbase will suddenly grow. And the biggest myths will probably grow the most since they usually have the most quests solved already. It might be a side effect that is worth it though? I dont know.

If this is a problem in any way for any reason, the solution is to cap the size characters can grow. This should have been ten years ago.

it's in place since I can remember - it's just "soft", but the effect of this "soft" cap is hard to understand for people who haven't come even remotely close to it

[Kas]

Example: Battlehardened, rank 1-10. 1% accumulative damage mitigation vs melee damage, totalling at 10% at max questxp.

Rejuvenation, 1-10, 1% more manarecovery.

Awareness focus(skill), 1-10, 1 skillpoint more in awareness.


Weapon mastery, deal 1% more damage with a weapon of choice per rank.



You get the general idea.

It has been hard for me to understand for 10 years but not for the reasons you suggest.

Here is a recipe for an awesome game: Take Genesis and do the following -

1) Cap size at Titan
2) Get rid of brute
3) Make quests really important for something other then growth (some form of end game content maybe)
4) Slash the amount of EXP for killing things by 75% (perhaps more)

Maybe make the cap like champ or legend instead of titan.
Also.. Remove the ridiculous racial bonus differences..
Rather give the races something else then stat bonuses and penalties.

[Alorrana]

capping to low will make people stop playing period..

Cap it at Supreme uber myth.

remove forced questing.

Make 1 brute.

Make start level in game Veteran.

Make able to keep personal weapon/armours.

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

That will never happen. I am not sure what ya aiming at here. To get players to stay and to get more. You need to please all type of categories of players.
Grinders
Powerplayers
Achievers
Roleplayers
Casuals..
etc etc

By doing this you will KILL Genesis in a week. Look who is still playing genesis.
You think the others will come back when the grinders and powerplayers are gone?, that are the player core that still genesis has, with a few so to say RPers that grinds more then ever, if we implemented your suggestions. I can give you a hint... NO!!!!!

I agree.
Most of what is left is powerplayers/grinders.
I think the game has the crowd that it caters to, and that is true for Genesis as well.

I would argue, though, that grinding is not attractive enough to warrant an influx of new players, especially not if most grinders are off scripting or soloing.
Interaction the main factor of what keeps people entertain and keeps players coming back for more, or at least that is what I believe.

Of course all this has been discussed over and over before, and most of us are just repeating ourselves, myself included.
...And to just prove that fact, I'll repeat what I've said several times over in the past:
Listening to the current community will not bring about the needed changes to revitalize the game - So many have vested interests in the status quo, and are too deeply dug down in the trenches.

I really like this idea. Have you considered writing it down it full detail and send to Gorboth?
