-5 ECL & Lvl 15 cap

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

-5 ECL & Lvl 15 cap

Post by Dalenger »

As the name states: Allow the option to, upon character creation, take large minus to your ECL yet capping your character at lvl15. Discussion, reasoning, and support for this can be found here.
Note that there's nothing magical about -5 and 15, just two numbers I thought would work well. -5 allows for very fast progression, while still requiring a bit of effort to get up there. Lvl 15 is a great spot because, why you're not going to be a major player mechanically, it allows you to participate and reach most places on the server.

This would benefit the server by:
> Allowing casual players to escape from grinding the same lowbie dungeons. All in all, this a casual players best friend.
> Bolstering the mid-level population on the server.
> Allowing players to try RP concepts, without having to grind rats for two weeks to get to teens.
> Making it easier for people to retire characters (before lvl 26). This in turn will help keep the population from stagnating by giving us reason to recycle characters before late epic.


If that doesn't convince you,
I am admittedly going to be disappointed if this is never implemented now.
Only imagine it's being said by

D'aww.
There is no refusal, only surrender and acceptance.
