Faster Levelling

Author Content Date
Server has been up for nearly 2 years now. Recently I've noticed a lot of new players, been helping a lot of them out in sirs and they all seem active and enjoying the game.

Downside to it is the "grind" and also how far behind they are.

I think it would be encouraging to make more of the following changes to help keep a healthier player base! And keep all these new players playing.

1) If you can increase the rate in which constitution is gained, double it.
2) look at increasing unlimited rested to 60 or 70.
3) double the effectiveness of rested XP up until level 50.
4) look at increasing mob gains up to NM and BLG by 5%.
5) increase the % of crafted weapons and armours being tagged.
6) increase the number of bosses dropping tablet of lesser evil.

Thanks!

The other thing I've noticed is severe bar shortages in early levels. While it's not a problem as the high levels in sirs can bank roll new players, it would, in my opinion help if Barr drops where increased on the low end mobs.

Players don't like having to beg or ask for money to be able to afford pots. And I think it would lead to more activity if they could do so without having to ask guild members!

The problem with boosting anything lower then 80- is when you get last that it then becomes a grind, raise all to 99 and bring out a new content patch.

We know what were getting ourselves into, raising faster to 50/60 or more sounds quite fine to me ;)

Also about additional content for after lvl 100 and raised level cap, please forgive my ignorance on exactly how these things work but would it not be possible to just take some the the content from the test server, which had new mobs and much higher caps, and incorporate this into the current server?

I've got a query that will scale mobs stat/exp speed that i've run a couple of times before and could be easily ran again. Does it on a tangent so shanis would get 5% boost where dire wolf would get 100% etc.

I'll chat with the other GM's today about executing it and getting a reboot in place.

That's if Somageddon doesn't happy today :D

It's been a while since it happen, to be fair 0-50 is a breeze now a days can you run the query to run from mobs with 100+ str?

The whole point of the query is to run it on all mobs.

I've always seen this as a 'when' rather than an if.

would be nice having leveling faster for lower levels!

But would it not slow you down anyways as the query doesnt increase skill, and the damage difference in low level weapons is a massive boost on level speed..

could the query not speed up skill aswell?
