I know what its like, Lolinus died enough times at lvl12 that the xp penalty was not only enough to get him lvl13 but lvl14 as well. (Not a complaint about the xp penalty by the way, I think its fine). I think most characters come across a 'bogey' level, and my doesn't it get irritating at times.

[Argon Balros]

on most servers theres bogey lvls, for me it was 11 to 12.

perhaps a poll should be started to see what every ones bogy lvl is


(BTW THIS IS NOT A FLAME NOR SHOULD THIS THREAD TURN INTO A FLAME IT IS MERELY A POINT OF INTEREST)

TBH, I think the 'pain' of death becomes more apparent the higher the level you reach, andespecially if you are well into a level. E.G. Death at level 18, you could potentially lose 3600 xp. To our standards, thats considered a lot of XP. Of course, more action/power play based servers would laugh at that as they'd probably make it back by killing a few monsters :P

why the death script rechanged again.
there isnt any hall of mandos any more
maybe it was posted here but i didnt recognize it?

would be nice to get an answer

thank you :)

[DM_Kev]

I thought everyone knew. Too many problems with people logging in inside the halls for no apparent reason.

We did checks and there was definately a problem. DM's are fed up of having to move people out of there so we put the old one back in since it works perfectly.

The previous system may return, but at the moment it is unlikely.

i see thanks for reply

I thought the death penalty was harsh to start with but thats just because ther wasnt really any penalty on any other server I played and death was just a mere 5min or less inconvenience where the xp was made up with one kill.

Now Life has much more meaning and the game is much more realistic and enjoyable that I will never turn my back.

Hope it never changes on this great server.

Do sorta miss the nice solemn Hall of Sauron where I spent many a minute contemplating anf imploring him to hear me. Perhaps the odd shrine/temple for good and evil could be put on the server for the more devout of us. Somewhere we can go and fulfill our religious beliefs in true roleplaying rapture?

Death xp penality is spot on. Not enough to drive players away.. but just enough to make you care about dying...

A real incentive for players to stay alive....and yes.. when you do die repeatedly oh boy is that annoying or is that annoying!!!!! Makes you cry like a baby!! waaaah waaahh wahhhh!!!:bigcry:

[san~raal]

i think the death system and it's penalties works great...and was no way complaning about it....

just needed a place to vent out my frustration....thought this forum was the perfect place since nobody in RL would have had a clue about what i was bitching about...LOL

thx all y'all for listening and posting your thoughts :rave:
