The idea about a total reset of stats

Some people think it's a bad idea. I first thought what the **** no way. But thinking about it I think it is a good idea because classic is a idling place and people usualy have no reason to spar, pk, whatever. A total rest might give people a reason to do stuff again, re-experience stats gaining and so on. A total reset would probably suck if you do it with nothing new added, it would need a great deal of planning to make classic enjoyable again in the process.

Perhaps there can be some house with the old stats saved in, so you can watch whatever you used to have.

And if you say "I play bc of my stats", its just lame. Rather have fun than looking at stats.

I really can't see what difference a full stats reset (if you mean kills/deaths/online time included) would make other than making people angry.

I do like the idea of a "rest" though.

Yes that's what I mean.

I remember from ages ago that one of the fun parts where to gain good stats, now when I had the same stats for this long it's just boring and everyone just sits doing nothing.

I wouldn't get angry, and I don't see that many cares about their stats anymore. People often ask for how it used to be, and gaining stats used to be a part of classic that doesn't exist anymore. A fresh start with a total rest, a lot of new stuff and fun things with compitions to gain some amount of stats would be fun.

And doing a back up wouldnt be impossible if it fails totaly.

I would probably play less if my stats were reset. As sad as it is to say, I've been playing for about a decade now, and all I have left are my stats.

At first I disregarded the idea because of the loss, but on second thought I don't think I care about them at all. I'd even request a reset on my hours if I could, because the amount of time I've spent on Classic is pretty embarrassing. The only statistic that would probably annoy me if reset would be my kills and deaths, but it's something to build up I guess. Not voting for either way though because I don't mind.

I voted no simply because I don't like the idea of instantly discarding everything that I did over the past 4 years, even if it was on graal.

Thats the sad part. People dont play, just come along for the stats and the character. Why not see it was a opportunity to play again.

It can be stored in some kind of house. Would probably be the same thing as seeing your profile. It's not like its "gone".

I'd support a full reset down to 3 hp but that's probably never going to happend.

Gralats and tickets should've been reset already a long time ago.

I really don't see the point in reseting k/d/online time, unless theres really some special case of a specific person wanting to start anew, with the reason not being "bc my kills over deaths sux".

As for other things, I know for a fact gralats will have to be reset eventually, so you can brace yourself for that one that it happens, assuming you didn't expect it eventually to happen. Between corrupt admins giving themselves money, the infamous black gralat quest, and Ibo's rupee snake, the gralat community has become so widely inflated to a point comparable how Germany was at one point where a wheelbarrow full of cold hard cash couldnt buy you a half loaf of bread.

As for tickets, if this raffle doesn't work out, and another method outside of the card game can be used to burn off the accumulating tickets, it'll have to be reset as well, plus ctf madness really does not help the ticket fiasco.

I don't PK/spar because I don't want to, not because there is nobody to PK/spar. I would continue to do exactly what I do now, which is log on and chat for an hour or two then log off. Only thing that would get me playing regularly is if there were a lot more quests to complete.

There's a lot of points. Why would i kill 5k more people? There's no reason. Make it a reason and I'll do it. A total reset will make graal fun again, there will be a point of doing stuff, if it will be made in a fun way with new stuff. Not just sitting back and feeling good as it is (with the stats).
