• Should player levels be cut down or not? (This can be decided independently of the gold/items/rares reset).
• Should monster XP be increased?
• Should the dungeons be changed to reflect this new balance?

Crush wrote: When high levels are a problem then how about reducing the levels logarithmical instead of doing a complete wipe? This would reduce the levels of high players more than those of low players. When we would apply the formula newlevel = oldlevel^0.9 we would end up with this:

Code: Select all

Before after
10       8
20       15
30       21
40       28
50       33
60       40
70       46
80       51
90       57

When you think that this reset is not extreme enough we can use a lower constant in the above formula.

To realize the corresponding loss of stats technically I would suggest to combine it with a stat reset. Every character gets reset to the level he is supposed to have according to the above formula with the exact exp amount necessary for the level, all stats get reset to 1 and the character gets the amount of stat points it is supposed to have on this level. Combining the level reduction with the opportunity to redistribute stats would also reduce players grief about this measure.

[...] running all over the place like you own it, blasting arrows like a gatling gun, has really nothing to do with role playing.

It set the game apart from every other game out there. Now after spending forever trying to kill a stupid scorpion it took all the fun out of the game. So as of now I am not playing this game anymore, I mean it is just a game after all. GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!!![/b] With all the crap about the bugs and game money, wiping all the money, items, and levels. Everyone it is just a game and now with all the politics and bologna it has made it worse than real life.
