I could've sworn that I saw a quitting thread but it's not there no more. Plus, it's not like they can monitor things 24/7.

@char - i try to listen to most of em but some are like nails on chalkboards to me

Sweet incentives! Vote people vote! Go to your neighbors house and vote, steal their wi-fi, whatever you gotta do!

pff, I never understood why that rule is in an art contest .. Plagarism is okay but please keep your artistic side to yourself.

oh my grod! oh my grod! oh my grod! Can I vote now? Do I have to wait? That's LUMPING amazing! ~ Adventure Time is my LUMPING favorite! (and it teaches my kids alternatives to swearing like their daddy haha)

Sounds like fun. Like the assassin job quest... but would you get booted from the event if you hit the wrong one? or fell in a hole :P They'll have to make a few new types of poring(same stats,etc.) just with similar spellings plus clone a map(hopefully a big one), make holes(warps) and all that. I'm sure the workload will come into question here. But it still sounds fun.

I know I'm reviving an old topic but I just had to say ... I'm still the original Misfit. : )

It shouldn't be a problem. Most people either don't know how or consider it too time consuming but some have done it before.

if they still have one they probably got it way back when the NPC was still there.. 1k each is definitely a scam/ripoff

Most people just use the WS card (chance to break weapon or armor).

1st, it would be fun but it's never gonna happen .. 2nd, we would need a whole new server .. 3rd, we would need a rival ..

Let me start off with saying, this is all one huge IMO Waiting 2 years for 1 man to tweak 1 class to perfection is madness, and meanwhile his constituents are either off uselessly decompiling code that's only of use to 3 people or working in a totally different direction or completely AWOL. I think little by little we could overcome the 3rd class hurdles ourselves. Keep 'em out of PvP/WoE until they're safe. Restrict skills until they're tested. Noone will mind, most will appreciate the progression. But I don't really want to 'battle RO dynamics' with you personally Gen, because I hate losing. --------- Being timid of the unknown is perfectly natural but you shouldn't let it hold you back. Don't be afraid of source edits but be wary of binary(it's like a different language or sumthin). 3rd classes with classic mechanics can work, FROM SCRATCH. Don't rely on the skill scripts that are there, make them work for HR. I think the sprites, acts, palettes, the transcention paths and skill tree skeletons make a great starting platform. I think renewal is a huge pile of excrement. When you all say 'mechanics', are you're strictly talking about PvP mechanics? Because the renewal's XP/leveling mechanics suck big donkey dix if you ask me and if you broadly say you want renewal then you're asking for a huge disappointment. I think they f'd that aspect up horribly. Adapting that to a HR would mean a whole lot of customization to mobs just to make leveling 'not hard', kiss your 15 minute leeches good-bye. The rearrangment of mobs/maps that have been there since the start is exponentially confusing. The fixed aspd bonuses instead of percentages really throws me off after having all this crap memorized for 8-9 years. Adding the new mechanics to the old time-tested, balanced classes was just an awful idea. Much of it may, on a HR and at higher levels, mean you're taking a reduction rather than getting a boost. Except offensive magic users, if they got renewal you might as well hand out GTB's to new accounts. Boosts to bolts and AoE's with reductions in casting time. I think any further use of the word 'mechanics' should come with an adjective. I hate the mounts. I think that was their attempt to give the players something shiny to play with while they went to work on the real issues. Most of them are tacky, imo, and they put most of that garbage together in a big rush. But then again I suppose it's a majority rule when it comes to what's important. (ex: A llama? An oversized savage? A peco? [sarcasm] AWESOME! [/sarcasm]) Two things everyone should know. .. I am highly opinionated and equally uninformed .. .. opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and mine only smells like roses to me .. =) cheese!

5 day bump ... I figured this would be swimming in entries by now.

I'm glad someone pointed that out. I totally agree. Balancing out the 3rd classes to be roughly equal to 2nd classes won't really be that difficult if you take the correct approach. I think a lower level cap would do the trick temporarily. Then when the major kinks are ironed out we could slowly increase the cap, if wanted/needed, dealing with the further imbalance little by little. Plus, I think concept of equal 2- and 3- classes is a pretty good one. Allowing people to stick with what they know and love or move on to the next phase in RO evolution. If this survives and afterwards, sifting through official updates to find all the positive 3rd class adjustments will be a trivial and trying task, but all in all I think it's time that we close this gap between fRO and the other servers out there.

I would lean more towards a 1/10 for Event Tokens considering the majority commonly and consistently go to the same groups of people(sotw regulars,pvp-based event winners,etc.) and anymore than 10% would invite the economy into the suggestion. Activity Tokens are designed to keep us in-game. Voting Tokens are designed to keep us voting. And I'm just going to guess that Donation Tokens are definitely not an option. I'm sure the workload will come into question since they'll have to modify 2 NPC's everytime they implement 1 new voting item.

Voila! Almost everything is right there.

+1 It would definitely bring new players to the server and possibly old players back from the 'grave'.
