hello platyna and level 99

Hello Platyna

How would you feel that those few that make it to level 99, get a level 99 cap. Not unlike those that the gm's and dev get, but say 99 instead?

every game deserves a reward for the end and some of us worked very hard to get there!

Before the minions talk, please let Platyna venture in.


thanks in advance.

It appears she is not responding but I Do not see another cap getting in the game. But I do think 99's should get some sort of reward. How about a lvl 99 golden trouphy ?

No. This will encourage botting. There is nothing special about being lvl 99. Maybe a small reward will be acceptable but currently unobtainables are already given out like candy.

I agree that it would be nice to have some kind of reward for reaching the highest level, the only thing i can think of would be golden warlord plate (maybe a quest to go with it, something VERY difficult to achieve)

but what happens IRL when you reach the highest level possible?

prsm sorry to post before Platyna responded, but I do like the idea of an "end game" reward.

Even better what CaptainAwesome pointed out:

Yes, a hard quest open to the prestigious lvl 99 people ONLY. But maybe something more unique than this Captain, Dimond already has a Golden Warlord Plate. I'd even go as far as making this "item" an unsellable item so it'd keep it's 'value' as to not have someone get 3 or more and just sell it at some ridiculous price for excess 1kkkk gold or so.

You can retire i.e. sit in Hunscald all day or some other location that suits you(like what most of us do after we finish our jobs/careers), you can create a new character and play the world again, you delete your character and start all over again. As far more reaching joke, maybe find that "special someone" and "settle down" with her/him?

Contribute to the project.
Post stuff on forums. Edit the wiki pages.

Or do what I do, train other newcomers that joins the game.

.....

...and to end with a more practical question this tread is sort of addressing.

What do you do when you finish your favorite game?
Usually I go back and play every level again see if I missed anything, or just try to be greedy and get every lvl, and gold possible, every item.
Most games DO NOT reward you for this, it's more of a personal goal.

But with the uniqueness of this game, I do feel something for those who worked hard, and show your (Platyna, hard working developers, etc.) appreciation for a person who certainly committed their time to get to a lvl 99.

You can become a developer at lvl 1. :)
Cappy the golden plate was the first thing that came to mind.
But right after that as a lagit lvl 64 player I thought of the botting and how it would be incouraged. This is something I want to avoid. If maybe the bots start Dieing down (doubtfull, wishfull thinking) maybe I would recondition my own oppinioun a little bit. Thats worth something worth rewarding in itself.
If we can go 4 weaks without a bot post... nvm thats another topic anyway :P

or ask their level to them ( 99 )

Or just bring back the stat page...

I mean really, it is a good idea.

A 99 is dead character. After you reach that, you are done. So make a gravestone for each one.

Dayve how many is that 10 or so?

We took the stat page down because the people on it were frequent targets of hacking attempts.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Ok, that is funny. Did you actually listen to what you just said?

Because that is like saying, we removed the color of your car because black cars are more likely to get stolen.

I have a great idea. Let us remove all visible rares. Why? Because by allowing them to show there rares, they are more likely to get hacked. Which is true.

Or create a stat list with an opt in option.

I guess what is the point of marriage if there is no stat page?

Why not bring up the stat page with only the lvl and marriage?

I mean really, removing the stat page because of bots, now because of hacks.

You guys actually do not believe that it is true do you?

You can not protect everyone from themselves.

Back to topic.

A hall of Remembrance.

You can create a hall in which the 99's are created as npc.
Wearing what ever is their favorite items are. You can visit the hall, and talk to them, where they can include dialogue. For example, i would say "Run, Run like she's got a knife!"


Later, you can recycle the 99's name into the story line.

For example, NiteMares can become the healer. Which she is famous for. Dayve can repeat the rules over and over. :twisted:

We can have kfhar replaced with Cecil Burrows (not implying you are drunk). The Prsm can replaced sheriff.

If that is too much. Then make a Cecil Burrows shield. A Dayve Chest plate. A Nitemares healing circlet. A Prsm long blade.

dark water I like the idea of making a hall of remembrance.....but naming a weapon or an item after someone, some people might find unfair.
