Thats even stupider. Some one spent alot of time getting there stuff then just because they dont play for a while they should ose it? Bull ****. The only way that should happen is if the account is banned.

let me rephrase, having accounts expired for 1 month or so

My bomy wasn't even an idea in my head 1 year ago so it's hard for me to grasp how they can date all the bomies back to a year ago. Not to mention the logs aren't accurate at all when it comes to showing how long you have owned a bomy. (there IS no log kept for how many days you have owned a bomy)

I don't find it unfair that people get to keep bomies.. I find it unfair they can't keep their house which probably costed 10 times as much.

I agree.

Such as Fossilio and the Dice I own. :(

Let everyone keep 1 thing thens its fair.

I am talking about the people who want the full reset.
I don't wanna sell Nicoze. Many others don't wanna sell their own bomys, so they won't harm economy.
Some people want full reset so they will be able to get those bomys =\

Tyhm 07-16-2002 12:41 AM

Alternative to reset:

All items set to self-destruct. Each item refunds (gives the player back however many gralats it's worth) and destroys itself. The players' gralats are then scaled down: Say, take the root, so that a player with 100 gralats total value only has 10, and a player with 400 gralats total value only gets 20. Then either put the confiscated items up for sale, or automatically re-purchase the uncommon ones.

Modifying accounts is okay, but come on, a reset? For paying customers, on what's basically an RPG? That's like leaving the Gauntlet machine in the arcade until everyone gets to level 99, then swapping it out for a new one on which the accounts do not exist. Not polite, even if it is legit.

Resetting expired accounts on the other hand...

Maybe a year a month isnt very long person could be poor for a while. I know if my account expired this month I would be screwed for at least a month. :(

Valder 07-16-2002 12:47 AM

Yes, Allow everyone a couple of days before to have 1 item that they can keep, except gralats. If they want a hat, they can keep it, if they want a bomy, they can keep it, if they want a house, they can keep it.

But you must CURRENTLY own the item.

That would be extremely hard to do, seeing as how they would have to ask every person that has an account what thing they would like to keep. I like Tyhms idea though..

But hell, if players get items/gralat that other players don't get, it completely voids the point of the reset. Either reset EVERYTHING or reset NOTHING. I don't want to start off richer than other people, but I don't want other people starting off richer than me. Does it make sense? Reset so everyone is equal. Then you don't have to make a big ordeal about finding bomies on accounts to remove, etc.

Then for crying out loud, don't **** up the economy again by stocking 10000 hats at dirt cheap prices. You either allow everyone to buy everything, or you make things actually have value. You CAN make the economy work if you actually think about the outcome of your actions.

"Should I auction bomies off? Would this be unfair to poor players? Should I give bomies out as event prizes? Would this be unfair to the rich players?" etc.

well atleast there are a few smart people here

screen_name 07-16-2002 02:51 AM

why not just go throu all old accounts and auction off those bomies

that would take a lot of money out of the economy and maybe just limit a bomy or two to only one person

i know i would buy swisslord 1 if it went up for auction :)

Googi 07-16-2002 02:52 AM

I think that ANYBODY should be allowed to keep their bomy over the reset, but there should be a HARSH penalty for doing so (starting with -5000g perhaps?)

WHIPENIE4 07-16-2002 03:40 AM

I like that Idea Googi, I wouldn't complain then :)
Or - how ever much they bought there bomy for.

Torankusu 07-16-2002 04:11 AM

I say just reset it all.

Two people having bomys is senseless. Let them win them back in events or something.

Also, the problem with Tyhm's idea is that the price on stuff is fluctuating alot. Some people pay more, some less. Depends who you get it from =\. Like if someone won a bomy in an event. How would you define how much the player recieved?

I didn't sell my flame beanie and contribute my 50g (worth that at the time) to making the economy worse. You shouldn't get a reward for something like that. It will be strange without my hats. It will be strange for everybody to have nothing. You shouldn't be allowed to keep it because you feel stranger than all the rest. Everyone should be treated equal. If you start out the game with an unfair advantage.. well.. then.. you have an unfair advantage! Thats unfair! =P

Googi 07-16-2002 05:07 AM

Of course, the first choice would be to just reset it all all all, but that won't happen so you'd have to go with my idea.

Huha and me!
 
ive had my bomy Huha The Magnificent ever since i got him at the first bomy auction ever held. stefan auctioned 10 bomys,Huha was the 5th sold.i fished near 300 hours to get the money he cost me ( back then you got 1 gralat for 50 lbs. of fish) if some kid with an ego and a self serving personality wants to take it away so be it. as for me all i can do is not reup my acct. and discourage others from signing up to play this game run by children.

so? it took me 12k to buy pirat0 and I had nothing at the time 0 money. You think it was easy? The reset should be to "reset". If you like it so much work again and rebuy it is how it should be.

Thanks, Corpse.

I respect your opinion, however harsh it is and undeserving of your comments I am.

Anyway.. This shouldnt turn into a attack slag thread. The point of this thread is that theres a "SERVER RESET" do you know what reset means?

re·set Pronunciation Key (r-st)
tr.v. re·set, re·set·ting, re·sets
To set again: reset a video game
To refresh; start over

It doesnt say to start from new but keep cetain things. We all pay for our p2p's just like you guys, If you get some special treatment we all should get it or none get it. We all pay money no one is special except for the admins because they make graal, graal.

Oh jeez, I'm tired of this complaining... oh no, people who had their bomys for over a year get to keep them! It's not like your going to die or anything.
People who scammed all their money don't have a lot of room to talk about working hard and money anyway.

Woru:

I want the server to be reset. But...

scamming is work too, they deserve the money they make. Its even harder cause they have to deal with idiots who think they deserve the money back that they were dumb enough to lose.

Scamming people then hitting that little X button in the top right hand corner isn't exactly hard work.
Then clicking "ignore" when they come back on.
Yes it is work but not anything like legitly earning your money.

Aside from what people think actully I rarely scamed and it was never for large sums maybe a hat here and there, Yes I worked if joe was on still he could tell you that we used to farm together. I earned the starting out of my money then became a merchant. Now this is how I and im sure many others see it. We pay for our p2p, you pay for you p2p. We want a server "reset" not a partial server reset. Thoose people with bomys for a year should just get first chance to purchase them for a set X ammount.

I know you worked, all people have to work.. but being a Police I must say you did your fair share of scamming, but there were worse people of course.

And wouldn't setting that X amount and giving them the first chance be considered "special treatment?" Which is what I thought you didn't want?

theyed still have to re-earn the bomies it wouldnt just be free. And I was never even jailed for scamming when i did maybe 1 out of the 3 times. Infact last time i scammed alk was still cheif and it was legal at the time.

leimoubai2002 07-16-2002 12:13 PM

I think we should be able to carry unlimited bomys

-dr

screen_name 07-16-2002 12:40 PM

truth be told

the only reason i ever played 2k1 was because i wanted swisslord 1

:(

hopefully i can get it after reset or sooner ;) *wink wink kamuii*

Valder 07-16-2002 01:27 PM

Me, Corpse and a few other people are going to get to keep our bomies, live with it and if you can't oh well.

screen_name 07-16-2002 02:00 PM

i feel i should be able to buy swisslord1,

i've worked so hard for it and not all that work for nothing, that would be the same deal as the elder bomy thing

:(

-SLaG- 07-16-2002 03:57 PM

at the least thoose bomies should have to stay on that acct then not be able to be sold etc.

screen_name 07-16-2002 03:59 PM

no one listens to me, except AlexH :)

lol, anyways




putting the reset out of mind for, dont you think i'd have a chance at getting swisslord 1??




ps please forgive me, its 4am here and im extremely tired

Yes, but there also has to be a second penalty since they won't lose the money other players will lose re-buying their bomy, I think it should be something like they can't use the marketplace/trading post/be able to buy hats, dolls or pick up hats/dolls dropped on the ground, same for other trading items until they have paid off a "debt" of, say, 1K gralats.

screen_name 07-16-2002 10:09 PM

:) that would be cool


i know i would certainly pay off the debt after the reset if i could just get a certain bomy :)
