Stop the geared rage alt meta

[r21187]

I was thinking personally about aging mechanic, which could let You determine if certain character "just spwaned" is "fresh" or "old character". Like characters 1-2 week would be considered just spawns, fresh 3-6 weeks (or reincarnation) and old characters being count in months. Idea might be worth further thinking but alas, still, someone could create X accounts with 3 alts each that would just be sleeping agents for later use in bigger event.

I think milestones in total experience earned would correlate better with aging mechanics. At least it indicates some sort of activity, which time or LP don't.

And, I don't know. Alts have made so much of the game so crappy for so long, I wonder if we'll ever see a reasonable anti-alt mechanic being implemented.

By alt you mean more chars at same account? i just noticed and asked if was legal and i think is great

one cause i wont lose all my buildings and i can make one for farmer only and one explorer

what i dont like is the boting system xD

i dont know how use it but fuck there is new players with tons of shits lvl 1 but that truly dont seem fair

I could see the idea of some skills being a stop gap to wearing some types of gear... past saying possibly over board stuff on this for limits (or just say everything needs x will or psy cause why not lol). I have no clew, I keep thinking back to D&D 3rd when if somethings wear to heavy your character just flat out cant move....

Probably best to ignore the last 2 pages

Something that could help (but wouldn't fix the problem completely) would be to remove the ability to wear a piece of gear unless your stats exceed the bonuses that it gives

For example, if a Dhelm gives +15 mc and 15 str, you might need 30 mc and 30 base str to equip it.
If thanes give +25 mc, 15 agi and 25 str, you'd need 50 white mc, 30 agi and 50 str... etc

It sucks for real low level mains, but it would stop the no-effort geared alts while also giving real characters something to work towards in terms of stat gains

I don't hate this, but it also seems like somewhat of a band-aid.
