previously stated:-
i don't say a reset with a higher lvl limit will solve all problems but i do think it'll make the game interesting for a much longer time.
The only problem with a reset, is that some of us havnt played for 2+ years and still enjoy the game, a reset would ,(as I'm not yet arch due to the fact my first crit was a mage), be rather off putting and d**ned annoying,
However the notion of restricting the amount of alts allowed on sounds good, no offense Jurian as i know that's ur favourite act,
All in all though this game is dang good, and the clan I'm in makes all the difference between boredom and fun

If the old map was put into the current game, the nostalgia would be there for some of us, but the game would still suffer from the problems it does now, and the only reason is because the game is plagued with the wrong kind of people. As for the areas being worse now than they were back then.. trust me, whichever way you look at it the 'newer' areas that are being released now outshine those from the past easily. Technically the builders have a lot more to play with than they did back then, but it's not only that. A lot more thought seems to be put into most of the areas that are released.
I must confess that a few of my areas in the new nightmist were rushed (barracks was supposed to be ten times larger, the mansion thief autoquest was supposedly going to be harder, the routes between the towns - nightmist to arilin were supposed to be a LOT longer, and a few other things I never got to do.) The reason for it was because of the fact the date of the reset was announced beforehand and the players grew impatient because it didn't hit the deadline. I accept the 'days of fun(or free experience/quest items)' for a few weeks before the reset were growing annoying, but growing pressure from the players forced me to somewhat rush most of my areas, except those that were opened after the game was released, and for that I apologize.
I built several areas pre-reset, pern valley being one, which is what you all seem to think was the best area ever. Pern valley didn't have the best descriptions, it was the first area I'd ever built and as such a lot about the place was lacking. The only reason so many people went there, and why the game is still remembered, is because it was a town in which pk'ing was possible - it had two bosses at different points (the story was two different factions of undead attacking each other (thus the two tunnels leading through to their lairs..), breaking through into the area, using the town as a battleground. I doubt anyone even noticed that - but trust me, it really wasn't a 'great' area.
And to the current builders, I had just as much complaint regarding the areas being released as you seem to be having now with yours. Trust me, if there was a reset and a new map right now, in a few months time all the people that started playing on -this map- will be complaining about the old one being much better, so don't take any of the comments about wanting the old nightmist back as a reflection on your area building skills, because they really aren't lacking.

Is there a way we can help jlh without typing everything out to find that it isnt what you were after in terms of new areas?
Is it possible to have a program downloadable by all that will be able to give you a brief synopsis of what the area is, give a visual display of the size (like the map program that used to be used) and also give you easy implimentation and editing to finalise way before its implimented. One that can be worked on offline and transfered as an individual file as email to you guys to load up on your program. New areas could then be implimented easily maybe by just uploading the file into the map area and bam the works done before and also possibly offline then inputted easily?
Also increasing to a max maybe level 40 as suggested a few times and having extra skills like i put in another post of 'Honor Kills' (Post was Killin Noobs i believe) might evolve the game further and give all something to aim for.
Restricting alts isnt something id like to see (Although i dont use alts much)..................
Just had an idea? Character restrictions per square in certain areas?
ie 20 characters per square in a town
10 characters in a boss area
5 in a woods or small cave area etc
if you move onto that square in a party of 10 you run the risk of people getting left behind (Based on random play dropped so that it isnt low or high levels) and the square gives that character a message saying "The Passage is too narrow" or "This town path is too crowded, you cant get through"
This would stop parties of 20 fighting parties of 20 mid forrest and also risk that high level chars dont enter the battle etc..........
this stops massive player swoops but doesnt discourage parties training but encourages strategy and thought rather than mindless running.
The shear probability risk of running past a party and losing characters could make life interesting.
The uncertainty might add some Va Va voom to the game
Just a thought

/t Tienno What about Covert characters? Would they take up room? Also, people could block access to certain areas far too easily, imagine people crowding the sewers and gate in ar, you'd be stuck there for good... Although I like the idea for limiting some areas, areas near towns should be left open.

The gate out of town will be a high number of characters per square so people can leave and enter easily but in remote places like small caves or tunnels some times a limit could be set. Thats all i am suggesting. Maybe also base a failed attempt to get onto the square on a attribute so there is a chance when a square is full you can barge through?

the game already supports a character limit on a given square, for example the secluded benches

I figured out what i need to do maybe---
Go train in desert (I haven't actually 'trained' in a good 6 months)
Go to Jungle.
Go to Mt. Senant---and actually beat it, haven't ever finished it up there. (sp?)
Get a set of lvl 22s and go around gnolls.
All areas that I haven't played with THAT much. Jungle i've never played with at all really, the other 3 i have fairly good knowledge of...
O, this is kind of a suggestion to older players that are bored, lets all get together parties and go places that aren't your normal stomping grounds. Jurian maybe you could leave the captain/desert and try Mt. Senant (still sp?), it is secluded and decent enough exp.

/t everlast Hehe, I tried that idea. Actually makes the game alot more fun if you try to 'conquer' given areas with certain restrictions. Places like Natura, Scarlet Daggers, Mount senant (once again, spelling?), Gnoll, Necro Tower.. You get a great feeling once you know you're able to enter and easily control an area.. And no, not control as in kick everyone out.. Control as in complete the given quest and gain a prize.

Maybe there could be some other new thing. Not an area or anything, more like an event that all the players can participate in, even newer ones.

Everlast you had a good idea listing things to do when bored.. I think I'll do the same and hopefully maybe some bored person will follow in my foot steps.. I doubt it though as it's much more fun to complain? ::)
1) Level all characters you have in your account to 30.
2) Start new characters, new classes, different stats.
3) Build low level teams to go to lvl specific areas such as : Natura, Catacombs, Necro Tower, Swamps..
4) Pk!
5) Level a pacifist, role-play the pacifist, try to assist other players with either protecting them from being pked, or leveling low levels while they train.
6) Collect keys from every monster that drops a key.
7) Roll new characters.
8) Go to bosses
9) Try to obtain rare boss drops by killing the boss repeatedly(i.e captain/hedge/time knight)
10) Play flea market (By this I mean go around selling your boss drop items/keys you obtained)
11) If you trust someone, and they trust you perhaps get some training jobs for extra cash.
12) Join weekly events.
13) Mosh!
These are a few I can think of for the moment, lol. In my opinion there are still plenty of things to do in game.
