YOU CAN CHOOSE MULTIPLE CHOISES

Guys If there is a wipe then the players who played the server before the wipe will get a head start!!!

Well, I was talking to Hades and he said I should suggest this :

Raise the prices on reds blues and darkstars in the zp mall.
-This will make the red star drops more valuable and make people want to collect them. Also making it a little harder to gain those ultras but not too hard. reds stars = the price of a blue star Blue star = the price of a dark star and darkstar = the price of 5 blue stars. So a darkstar will cost 13800 zp.

Make the mobs on the zp map 1500 pot instead of 1200 pot (keep the zp drops the same, or you can drop them down to like what normal mobs are at now. Since there might be a wipe). 1200 is a little too easy, 15 takes a little time, but its also at that point where things start to require a lot of ZP. Also if you can you should make them weak to all weapons or take the requirement off of which weapon to use.

I voted 30 and a wipe. Sounds like fun. :)

Ya, I like it too. Its been like 4 days and im seeing people with almost full +12 XD

Too easy imo. But hey atleast you guys are planning to make it a little challenging :)

Also I think you should increase the cost of amethyst in zp mall

-Meteor
-Redstar
-Bluestar
-Darkstar
-Military Badge (really costy)
- Chomskys
-Exp rate
-Core Lottery

and more

eh i'm not sure really. personally i like the rates a bit higher seeing as it's a 150cap,250max lvl server. even with 50zp drop thats gonna take ages to get the expensive cap items required. gear a 50zp takes about 1-2 weeks depending on dedication to farming which i guess i ok. maybe have it like eme's old one with 50zp drop min going up to say 200+ for venus wilds. then ur event map could be 400/500 with the pot requirement, as said above, raised. the exp should also be raised :S. people saying that the exp is already too high need to keep in mind max lvl is 250...
tbh though i'd just like to see like 250 drop every .where and 500 in event or something. mostly cause im lazy lol ^^. also if ur decreasing drop rates and increasing exp maybe make it a normal pot based system

i still think thisd be fine, but what about 2 servers? 1 high (ie the one we playing on now) and 1 low (the 30zp one that some ppl want)? thatd be okay if u could get it to work wouldn't it?

Then its unfair for those who are already way up there with +12... they have the advantage for a LONG time. A wipe is the only option. It gets boring when you have all equips and everything too. You are gonna have to farm no matter what you do. I think personally if a server is going to have high rates they should just make the exp rates super high so you can hit level 190 FAST.
Especially if its gear based and not pot based. If you dont want to farm, then how do you expect to level up? Gotta farm mobs to level unless they fix friend exp. Low ZP rates are the way to go. 30 really isnt that bad, try farming on 3 zp per box haha(mechwar). People need to stop complaining about farming, its part of a MMORPG, its something everyone has to do.

It wont take ages because the 1200 (or 1500) mobs will drop good amounts of zp. It's only going to be low fighting the normal mobs outside the ZP map. Makes sense and adds a challenge. Once you hit 1200 or 1500 pot you should make tons of zp.

fair point i guess. what rate would u do for event map? and at 30zp a drop thatd be maybe 2 week of hard grinding, which could be annoying for those who are weekend warriors rather than full week gamers. i think you r right on some points so im agreeing with u, but since there is a lot of conflicting ideas and people saying they will quit, which isn't really wat the server needs so soon into being back up, maybe 2 server if possible is best and if not some way to balance out the lowering of zp with the ease of getting up pot and gear to keep those who have worked in the first few days in the hope of topping server.

I am by no way a spokesman for the server, but I think the zp map should either stay the same (1027zp per I think) or it can either go down to what normal mobs drop now(240). You have to understand that the zp map mobs are grouped like crazy... At the current rate I can make 1 mill zp in like 3 mins. Not hard at all to obtain.

I cant understand why people would quit, considering that the zp drop rate on real ZO is 0. This server is much more customized, and flexible. Atleast you CAN get ultras easy considering the hassle you have to go through on real ZO.

Ok, Lets Do The Zp Drop Idea I said in the Zp Drop Topic, The Required Pot Monsters in The Event Maps and the Bosses Should Drop Certain Amount Of Zps Based on there Required Pot. Also Do Know To a Server Wipe Cause we will just lose Players and i dont want that, Just Do a ZP Wipe Just Put The Zp Drops in and WIPE the Zps From Every Player...So no ones Character gets deleted

Edited My Post From Before and Skyline why are you doing this...
02/28/2010 03:16 aire0n#13
well I guess thats okay, still think it would be unfair to new players but okay.

Well about people quitting because of low rates, I actually know 3 other people who are going to quit if the rates stay high like they are. So you still lose players, I think a wipe is necessary, skyline already said he'd help the ones that already put time into the server while it was high rate. So to be honest I dont think it would really change anything other then the fact that things will be a little more challenging.

:S im kinda beginning to agree, i just dont like the idea of a wipe, cause ppl will quit because of that as well. it's 2 days in and ive basically finished my second full char of +12 gear. maybe fallen's idea is the best but somehow it would have to make things fair
02/28/2010 12:16 Cryostasis#15
guys like i said if people vote to make a wipe we will and to those are playing atm (while we have high rates) they will get a head start so its up to you guys to decide either we do a wipe or not... same as the lowering zps
