Not sure on the response from this but ....

I would like to go back to dsoma levelling where we got stats based on Mobs hunted punching etc

I personally don't enjoy just getting 7 stats a level and would like to see some difference within builds themselves so it isn't all gear based

+1 but impossible to implement this late on. The only way would either be an adjustment to the points allocated like Dan mentioned when patch went live and it is easy to do or a full dsoma wipe. Even after so many years i would take a wipe if the rates were rapidly boosted and drops etc. Maybe like a wipe with a 6 week X50 or something to get back to where we were. 99% of people would not agree with me though and adjusting the current point system would create new imbalances.

Dan suggested a wipe at the beginning of patch, I guess not a full wipe maybe keep all items etc, but boosted rates for a while for us to catch back up but based on the old stat system but adjusted to balance classes

i guess an item keep would be fine, but it would only be a handful of people +1ing a wipe

not a full wipe. and rate would be alot faster. personally i left dsoma after stat patch. it just doesnt suit its purpose in my opinion ;(

but.. massive rate boost would everyone not punch?

Punching is so slow, and you'll be so far behind for ages doing it, doubt most people would but I see your point

Plus spear and axe would lose strength and con / Knux archer would lose dex

The issue here I guess is ace has very little reason to punch so would out level everyone on server?
Also would it be limited to those who already play and their levels or would it be fair game for every human that fancied a bash practically given a dsoma capped char

well the 2 chars i had were all punch. then the change happened. 2 years doing that down the drain.

"MERLIN"The issue here I guess is ace has very little reason to punch so would out level everyone on server?

it would only give the boosted rate to people who have chars upto the level there char is already at. so no free chars

Would there be new stat rates in this hypothetical world or would we end up with te same as before where people cried because bow couldn't drop axe and all mages got one bombed

previously i was bow and punch alot losing dex to gain MD for wotw. was like 235 str 198 dex 140/150 wis.
and a sword char. would have slightly lower stats also than anything else because i cudnt hunt +30/50 stat mobs.

but gain more md

yeah i really dont know if there is a fair way to do it, if its even an option, if the usercount would take a hit.

Could reset individual chars to lvl 1 keeping their gear etc. really dont know how difficult it would be server side though. i would +1 the reset however it takes place though purely down to the lack of motivation for spending 6-7 hours per lvl atm for 2 int 2 wis 1/2 con 1/2 dex
=D

This has been discused befor the patch released, they decided not to put evryone lvl 1 with 30x rates or so as most ppl were against it.
I do understand why ppl are demotivated from the low gains, but nobody liked the .6 stats from lvl 40-55 bfor patch eather. Also gaining 9 str on last lvl up from 99-100 was redic tho as an axer

Agreed there was down sides to the levelling last time, but this could be factored in and maybe adjustments made

A lot of people left over the stat change and I know people are still struggling to get motivated to level
