The rumors are true, and the new system has many elements fixed to balance our server. At the moment, we are witnessing the early stages of a global stalemate. Ideally that everyone is getting so "tough" that we just hit each other all day and not get anywhere. This is because of a few things: -Weapons are not strong enough -Reviving is too easy -Stats are too low. We took these simple aspects of the problem and turned them around. There are going to be new weapons in game. With armors to match. Later on in the game when players are strong enough to attain these weapons. They will be needed to chop down the thousands of HP we all have. Leveling has not been changed, so much as the level cap. Revive will now be at level 150 instead of level 99. Pushing the revive mark will slow down significantly the rate players revive at. In addition to the new cap. Revive potions will now be a rare drop from dragons and equally difficult bosses. We may provide the potion in store for an insane amount of adena. It is undecided at this time. Elixers will no longer drop from DI. They will be dropped from TOI bosses. Not a big deal? The elixer cap will be raised from 5 to a undecided amount. We westimate 100 at this time. This leaves 75 points to add into a stat to reach the cap of 100 and leave your self left over with 25 to distribute. Or you can spread and mix your stats as you desire to build your unique character. Everyones play style is different. Now your stats will reflect that, instead of everyone ending up with 25 stats across the board. New areas are being added to help the high level grind of the 100+s aswell. Now, as it rests. Our problem is to do w wipe before adding this new system. Players already exist that are very strong and in every sence are (no offense to them) rigged and unbalanced. Adding the new system while these characters still exist would only further push them over the scale and ultimately they would rule the server. We have an idea to roll ALL players back, and accolading their total experience into the new level 150 cap. How ever, each player must be done one by one. And will take days to complete. Thuy our developer is one man. He runs and develops this server in his own free time and free will. He is not exactly excited to sit there for days on end making every single person happy, one at a time. Literally. Thus the alternative, a fresh wipe. We all start off clean. A new race, a new balanced server. Those of you who have played hard to be the best, have the chance to be the best again. Those of you who slacked off and did nothing, will probably do that again as well. Keep in mind, wipes attract new players. So remember this when you vote.
