“Sorry I’m away atm but so not had chance to be in game to see how the events going.
I think we need to be realistic about rates. And I agree that we probably should speed things up a bit to allow people to get in the mix faster. We’ve done this a few times before. However, I don’t see it being a triple rates increase.”

Ye 100% the low lvls are way to fast current, just need to ease the slowdowns if anything

The slow down at 85 str dex is still significant enough.

If we can't get 3x exp rate my suggestion is to make it 2.5X with a small overhaul of the daily reward NPC. To encourage daily logging

The daily reward NPC is ignored mostly for people leveling.

If there was more daily mob quests (alternative mobs like bone golem instead of DW I.e) and the daily mark reward was increased to 2 per quest then its worth doing.

Well it's nice to know the rates are being considered but if it's only a small increase like in the he past where it's barely noticeable I probably won't come back... Like I said in previous posts.. I just don't have the time in this day and age

I do think the drop rates in 3x with the RNG is perfect though

esoma really died more because of the hackings I suspect. Also, there were not too many alternatives at the time either.

"SLAYER"Haven't been playing for a long while now, but I think it's about time rates went to 2-3x permanently, doesn't matter the time it took for the rest of us to cap, we need a userbase and a lot of people I know who have kids/loads of rl commitments know what the grind of soma is like and are put off by it, but would like to be able to compete. An hour a day for a year and they would be able to join in...sounds fair to me...

People still playeed for over a year after the hacking but the amount of upgrades dropped from the duping ruined the economy... 30k piles of SS DP and all the tabs... I had a wh full of about 2k of each upgrade...

I had a noob with a 13%eva cheap set and +8 ss of all wesps including staff lol

I did the exact same.. ragezone or whatever it was called... Someone pm me ingame with the link and I thought it was someone trying to scam me but it was legit... I only ever went back to esoma for gvw after that...


If the lvling rates are doubled perminantly and the drops are left at 3x with the RNG system in plsce.. I'd probably stay... Tbh.. I'd probably play even if the rates stayed the same lvling wise but the drops were left @3x because I think people wouldn't mind the grind if the grind was more rewarding ie more drops...but not trash like SOS and guard amulets and blood Armor...

I've been at shanis for well over most of my lvling time and the I've literally had like 2 med sapphire 1 frog and 1ep in like 20lvls

I feel 2x would be perfect with drops maybe be 1.5x, so levelling doesn’t become crazy and drops are still rare but often enough to get something each day 😀 the server is alive with fresh players and each rates boost event the game is full, it is very telling. I’d do 2x rates, 1.5x drops and in future events only up drop rates.

Even at 1.5x for drops the RNG sucks .. I've farmed on normal 2x and 3x drops and tbh @2x drops RNG can still suck... 3x however I've enjoyed alot more and felt like my time in-game has been alot more rewarding and worth logging on

3 x drops is pretty crazy at mobs like BLG's and mags when your capable of taking them down at speed. The situation needs to be viewed from both ends of the wedge. Sure, its great that you can guarantee a ruby drop from BLG every day when your killing 100 a day, just remember that theres going to be someone killing a few thousand a day and getting like 6-7 large from it, which is crazy excessive.

Under the right circumstances (mentioned several times before) 3x would be okay but as a compromise, if Dan thinks this is too fast perhaps 2x rates for leveling, leave drop rates as they are for h soma but defo need upping and drop files fixing in d soma, leave anvil but keep crafting 3x permanently as crafting is just a huge and boring grind that everybody does afk.

This doesn't fulfill my personal wishlist but I think that I could commit to playing outside of events under those conditions personally.
