Drop Stats each year

Suggest at the end of each in game year all stats and qualities over 200 are returned to 200 in order to increase longevity of the game world and make catching up more viable.

if there was one thing that would make me quit a game instantly it would be having progress needlessly reset for absolutely no reason.

If the world could be perpetual then you would keep all your industry, which is a more significant time investment. At the moment everything gets wiped at world reset and world resets have to happen because of how ridiculous qualities and stats get.

Exactly, there has never been a world reset just because of some stats or qualities. Infact world 10 had insane stuff by the end of it, Q2000 anvils etc. All of that is impossible now though since they removed spiralling.

I support stat decay, but not like this. There are other good threads with approaches to stat decay that could work out fine, but thats beside the point. Doing a 'stat drop' like this will just encourge people to stockpile a load of shit for the stat drop day so they can rapidly propel themselves forwards after the fact. That sounds very annoying.

This thread had some good discussion in it even if the idea didn't go over terribly well: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=59967

dont write a thread trying to muse on character stats when the highest number you've ever seen on a character is 150
