Personally, speaking as one of the newer people here, I like the rule change. I've given a lot of thought that I may end up having to solo a lot on this server for lack of people. However, if I'm able to group up with people at a higher level range, then that significantly increases my chance of getting into a group and having some fun. Maybe it's just me, but isn't that what mmorpg's are supposed to be about? No matter what kind it is they're all about playing the game with other people. I honestly think this will help more than hinder.

I really think this change could turn uthgard into semi-instant server.
We know that number of players isnt the problem, no one likes agramon this is a fact. I have 2 lv49 and 1 reaver50, i dont play agramon couse i dont want spent +15/30 minutes looking for enemys.
Take a look thid rvr action last week.

Solutions:
-Make RvR main zone LITTLE (agramon map ONLY?)
-Increase BG/RvR zone Exp Bonuses.

Tarnum,you just proofed that you haven´t been in Agra for a LONG time and that you didn´t even TRIE to go there for a LONG time.Actually the main Action in Agra is based around the Centerkeep and the Milegates that are next to the Stable Merchants.
So the only reason Agramon is Empty is that ppl simply don´t go there...

Now OT:
I like the changes,now its easier to get a lvl 50 Char for Agra so that you can lvl up Chars that are needed for good Setups faster!

yesterday experience :

2 BMs 1 druid 1 ranger 1 bard 1 champ 1 ench all above 44

we decided to inv a friend whos learning the game with his lv 27 warden

result:

we got add dmg, bubble group, lesser heals and we got somce decent xp, our low lv fellow have almost 1 lv xp, and had to leave in about 1 hour

then we wasted 40 mins going in and out of sheeroe due ppl going in and out of the group.

result:

i seriusly doubt there can be tradicional PL now, the xp its still at same rate for the low lv chars, and im grateful to the staff/GM who brought us this change.

There is a large language barrier in Uthgard and some guilds are not available to all players. This is unfair to half the server and all new players. I agree with a 15 level maximum difference in a group. I also do not want to be asked to powerlevel people all day long also.

You used to be able to truly level without assist in group/solo to 35 in 3 good days. No cheating, just good xping. With the changes to BG xp bonuses and item level restrictions, Those days are history. The BG's are better then ever but the xp is stagnant. Xping now is like work not like a game and fun. That will draw people to login dual accounts and powerlevel their own players. This will be more work and investigation for the GMs.

Why not slap a group level restriction on it and bump xp bonuses under 47. You used to be able to get near 100%+ under 40 with bg bonus in DF. now its 40%, you get no buffs and no purple item bonus. Is it me or are we discouraging leveling here?



Thanks for the work as always, we complain because we care :P

Plus the fact that for example OldEmain features even longer ways to the
hotspots especially for Hibernia and Midgard (~60k units travel time) in
addition of only featuring one old keep.

We know, and asumed that OF would never back.
Agramon + Keep maps are too big, I hope RvR mounts helps, but i think, as much others, that reducing RvR To agramon map only, would works. (like old purga)

Kuxi, you are right. i did it too, but i think none of us could think how big would be agramon + 3maps. (my / our fault)
