I heard Sakes is doing a 24 hour quest.

I wouldn't be opposed to this, but the problem is the 18th is a tuesday and will be in the middle of a stretch where I work 14 days in a row with 1 day off.  I might be able to do it the weekend before or after.  Also, I'm not sure we'll be able to get people to keep me company on the really off hours.  I don't mind doing it but I don't want to be sitting around an empty server.

I've seen 4 out of 5 bounties spawn in the same dungeon before.  It would be better if that didn't probably happen.  Maybe a few more bounties for each level too..

And why no gnomes?!  They are people too!

The main reason is that we are sort of limited on hunting zones.  Often there is only 1 or 2 dungeons within a 5 level range, and I have to spawn 5 bounties, plus have enough way points so the locations don't repeat too much.  I could put in a block to keep multiple bounties from spawning in the same dungeon but I often don't have 5 different dungeons to make that practical.  It's not so much a limitation in the bounty system as a lack of hunting areas.

I would think if you get multiple bounties in the same dungeon, that should mean the bounties make running that dungeon worthwhile, no?  If they aren't then perhaps that's the problem, because I wanted bounties to encourage people to run dungeons that they normally wouldn't.  Perhaps bounties in the middle of dungeons should give extra rewards?

So my thought isn't so much to avoid a "Oh, all 5 spawned in this dungeon..." and change that to "Awesome! all 5 spawned in this dungeon!"

As for why no gnomes... I just didn't add them.  I could do so easily enough.  Non PC races are trickier, mainly because they don't have a built in name generator I can exploit.

I've been looking at the bounty system per Kattze's request, and as long as I have the scripts and I'm working on them anyway, I'm wondering if there are any other suggestions/requests for improvements to the system.  Feel free to suggest them, though keep in mind I obviously can't just do anything I want.  For example you can suggest taking bounties alive, but don't expect that to happen because it would be a ton of work.

I'm not really familiar with how people use the system, I was surprised people even did the level 2-5 bounties so I really don't know what improvements people would be interested in.

An example would be how there are no gnome bounties.  Is that something people care about that would warrant the effort of including them?  Or non-humanoid bounties?

Other feedback would be: Are certain level bounties too easy? too hard?  Are the rewards to high or too few? Any bugs you've seen? 

Now is the time to let me know.

I'm not sure what the point of a wipe is if people get to keep a character.  What exactly is the benefit then?  We have a lot of overpowered items grandfathered in that this is a good opportunity to be rid of, but not if people get to keep a character.  To me, its the worst of both worlds, we don't get a fresh start and people don't move on, but we do delete a lot of characters and piss a lot of people of.   Seems like its lose/lose to me.  I'd rather do it all the way or not do it at all, rather then punish people simply for having multiple characters they are interested in instead of one.

Also, typically the character people would want restored is their main character, but if its only restored somewhere down the line, what do they do in the meantime?  Remake the character then replace it later with the restored one?  Or just not play that character?   Again, I see more good then bad here.

I'm not even sure a vault wipe is a particularly good idea anymore.  I don't know if it would bring me back personally.  I just feel like the characters and universe is stagnant, and allowing people to keep and eventually restore one character is like sticking a shackle on the idea of a new start.

Whats your normal playtime?  I can hop on and give you a relevel token.

Maybe with PnP, Tsu, but MMOs in general don't promote RP, the population is large and the effect you can have on the world is small.   Imagine LOTN with 1000 times the population but no DMs.    Your just another nameless and faceless adventurer with minimal customization options that can't influence the world and spents most of his/her time grinding xp, currency or reputation... its not pretty.

I don't know how good of an MMO it will be but I doubt it'll be a better RP atmosphere.
