Would you knock it off with Prop 3? Nobody's gonna be thrilled with the prospect of not being able to advance past level 3 and taking a full year just to get there. It's a stupid idea.
Stefan - balance is also crucial to RPing. Right now every system on G2K2 is linear - strong or weak. A L15 warrior with a vicious axe of Ogma with 5 IWDs and a Plate Mail of Ruggli is strong, he is the highest achievement, the one everyone wants in their kingdom, the champion. While this is not bad, it means the L15 Thief with the Black Dagger of Stealth or whatever and no armor has wasted his time, as has the noble Barbarian Ranger, the Kindly Priest, the Wise Sorceror, and the Genius Alchemist. There's only one kind of hero on G2K2 - the Strong kind, the ones that kill the most stuff and scam expertly to buy more upgrades, because that's the only reward system. If players were rewarded for acts of kindness and intelligence and peace, then perhaps we would see Roleplaying move in different directions than Everyone get the best weapon and kill stuff. |
