Voldemort, there is a "right way." The right way is the way it was meant to be. You were never meant to level your characters by double-logging and having the lower-level sit idle. Also, many of the items that people hand down should have limits. These limits should stop the use of such items by low levels. Handing down items is fine, but really Faldon needs to put a lot more limits on items. It is sad when a level 50 can use all the same stuff a level 500 wears.

The right way? There are no right ways, to level a character with another of your stronger characters, and giving them better items, is just a easy way to do it. If you wish to do it all without help, that's another way to do it, i wouldn't call it the right way though, maybe a hard way.

But i am sort of looking forward to the new client, it will be fun to see how things will be, without as much help as we have no a days.

Well, at the beginning of the current client it was extremely hard to level at first. Even if you were to start a new character right now today and not accept any help or do any of the introductory quests, you would still level like 5x easier than when people started playing in the beta test for this client. Depending on what all comes about, what starting off will be like.

You can not get level 50 in a day, if you play the right way. The only reason you can do it this client is because you can level your character, or give it items and such to be stronger. I am guessing in the new client it will take significantly longer, at least at the start.

*blushes* I forgot that we didn't get to keep our old characters, or keep anything at all. Well getting level 50 takes 1 day on the current client, if you play alot. So my guess would be 1 week after new clients release, many players have reached level 100, or higher.

Voldemort, whether or not we will have a war-zone will be decided later. But, for the start of the client, one is not needed. Low level players should not be so concerned with fighting that they need wars. Until players reach at least level 50, I see no point. Plus, at this point, we don't really know much about the new client, so we don't have much to go on for plans.

But to make the new client as "good" as the old, we'll need a war zone, or at least that's what i mean.

Well, there won't be a need for a war host before we have a war zone. So, until such a thing would happen, there would be no need.

Faldon once was down for 6 months... deal! heh.. Maybe you can go, umm.... do something fun that doesn't involve Faldon. Read a book or learn Python or play in this horrid snow we got or something.

Meh, don't learn Python, learn C or VB.

And i also wondered, in the new client i know the M's, and GM's get to keep theire possisions, will i get to keep my possision as War-host? Or will it even be a War hosting system on the new Client?

I looked at the error logs.

Two crashes two days ago (and also one on the 13th) were caused by two folks, Akonite and |osiris|, typing help followed by a couple hundred letters of random gibberish (obviously intentional). Apparently this was able to crash the server. I've fixed it, so they shouldn't be able to use that to crash it again. Let me know if you notice any adverse effects from the (tiny) server update - it's been a while since I uploaded it, so who knows what else has changed.

Today's, hard to say.

As far as a wipe goes, the rewritten version is totally separate. So while the characters won't transfer over, at that point (still quite a ways down the line mind you, though I'm making good progress) I'll probably keep the current one running if people want to play it. It's not like RAM is expensive.

Well, no sense wiping this client and then doing it again in a year or two.
