Discussion board for the Relic Event.

[weasel423]

I am all for a push back of the relic event.

First off, let me say I completely uderstand the "Big Burp" and I thank the staff for having the backups that we did have.

Even though I was only going to make a couple of heats this weekend anyway (due to family being in town), there is no way I can get my new toon back up to where it was and beyond by this weekend. I had put aside time in the previous couple of weeks to get him to where he was because I cannot play that much this week due to a busy work schedule (so I can take a 1/2 day Friday and make the first heat).

Also, I would have to get back all that xp I had to go earn on my scroll makers and crafters to make the items I need for other toons for raiding. So, even if I have don't concentrate on getting my new toon up to 40, I still have to get all that xp back to make the required scrolls and other crafted items. As stated above, due to work this week I do not have time...

Either way, I am sure we will all make due... but I was looking forward to seeing some the the new builds, which I have seen being leveled the past few weeks, in action.

Eh, Gorm makes a persuasive arguement.

+1 for keeping present timing.

[Mixtli]

I'm also for keeping the present timing, from a very selfish motive. I planed for this weekend, made time, changed plans. Doubt i could do it again.

Last night we held 3 events at the same time. .
level 1- 16
level 17-30
level 31-40

the idea was, once you were done with one level range you moved to the next. . . i know that everyone in the 1-16 event was able to go from level 1 and get at least 16 before event was over, ame with levels 17-30. and i believe most people that at least started the event with us in the 31-40 range did hit 40.

we are replacing experiance as fast as we can. equipment is a bit harder just to hand out.

ps. I'll see what i can do to help out European players, but FYI, i'm not a bit fan of waking up at 4 in the morning when i have to be to work at 8 lol

Gee, that's nice. Too bad I had scheduled all my playing time over the past couple weeks since I cannot play this week very much.

With all due respect, since you seem to be unable to extend that same concideration, the staff as a whole does feel very badly about the turn of events that occured causing the forced backdate to 6-29. This was not planned nor was it something we could have forseen. The staff as a whole and some specific key players worked very hard (on their own personel time and resorses to keep the server up and running durring the time you were able to level as well as to find build and activate the new home that you are enjoying right now.
When it comes to helping with any loss whatsoever due to server related problems the rules and regs (which have been posted for years) clearly state that the staff will be unable to help replace.
Again the staff is going out of their way and taking addition personal time to help in any way we can.
For those that have been on and those that havent but who have extended your understanding and thanks we in turn thank you and will continue to give back to this server that has given us so much on return.

With all due respect, I was not bashing the staff for the losing of data or anything. In fact I thanked them a couple of posts back...

I was voicing my frustration that you are considering that people made time for the relic event this weekend a reason not to push it back, but not taking into consideration that people had ALREADY put aside time in the last 2-3 weeks to get prepared for the event as a reason to postpone it... \

6 of one, half-dozen of the other.

[weasel423]

I did manage to log on at a decent time this evening and got to kill some balors and badgers... thank you, dm's, for hosting.

Oh, and an idea for the event... since we all did lose any cash we had gathered for raiding, maybe making the ferry's and dragon's free (or very reduced price) for the event might help alleviate the stress of trying to get leveling and cash farming done...

[Daral0085]

Bad time to be on vacation I guess, missing all these action-packed events? Oh well, I can't complain, I had barely been leveling recently. Good luck everyone for the event.

[Chernobyl_Glow]

i think we're fine with the time. we've always claimed in the past that advance notice was the most critical thing for events. we'll be alright.

[frogofpeace]

Yeah, let's do it. Gonna be fun!

[burrahobbit]

Gonna miss it

[Thorac27]

Hate to beat a dead horse but just a suggestion, maybe next event a rule could be put forward about chugging heals or using kits in pvp while the event is running?

24 insta ban for first offence then a week for second sounds not to harsh i would think.

Again i say while an event is running.

[Merrip]

Heal Pots I agree with, but as far as heal kits are concerned, that is something that is only of use if you put the skill points into it, if you want to give up potentially 43 skill points into heal maybe even focus/epic focus, then use those kits whenever you want to. That is my opinion anyway.

Pots I do agree with though.

[Alkapwn]

Hey lets all start chugging pots and watch the pvp on this server drop to nothing then watch the population drop to nothing. That'd be great eh?
