PVP Reset - Satuday 4/28/2012 4pm Central Time

[Gardner Denver]

We'll shut down @ 4pm, and reopen @ 4:30pm Central Time (2 pacific, 3 mountain, 5 eastern)

Changes:
1. 1st drop limiteds will not be placed.
2. PVP Limit will be 10 levels
3. I hope we will be able to bump up the drop rates on limiteds a little but no promises.  If we do it will be no more than +5 over current rate.
4. Idle/Inactive players will be stripped of limited items after 5 days unless you work something out with Gardner in advance. 
5. Item hang pens will be removed, HP pens will be changed to 35%.
6. Raise mystics exp % (Added 4/28)

Since 90% of limited items in pvp end up stashed and/or hoarded I see no reason to increase the number of items in the game.  It will make just that much more work for me to keep it cleaned up.

Assholes win again.

This reset is pointless. There have been no changes to anything in months, and within 2 weeks all the lims will be out again.

GG.

The changes sound good, will be nice to see something other than mystics. Dhumbs uip.

Just so we're clear on this, if you spend 90% of your time in a safe room or a room with no regen and come out to kill 1 or 2 monsters per day, you will be considered idle.

is that 90% a firm number?

[Thesifer]

I'm not entirely sure when "Satuday" is.. Is that new?

[kalus]

Does the +40 to stats stay?

[Gnor]

What meaningful changes have been made that warrant a reset?

I luld pretty good on that one.

The one where Gardner said "PVP Reset - Saturday"

Yes

What meaningful changes have been made that warrant a reset?

The activity level in the realm is the main reason.

[Gardner Denver]

It has been asked "Why don't you let the game run to max level before doing a reset?"

I'd like to answer that question.  Max level on GreaterMUD is 999.  To get to level 998 with an 80% chart would require 14,749,792,853,905,510,273,559,782,137,248,425,959,992 experience and you would need 1,179,983,428,312,440,821,884,782,570,979,874,076,799 exp to level.  I'm pretty sure that on stock content it would take 2 lifetimes to get there.

The world would end before someone can make that much:/  More like the universe.

[Gnor]

If you add all the levels of the dupes it probably totals 999.

what is mystic exp %?? was it too hard to mention it in the post?

[Crabster]

what a joke as usual...
