Hey Lord Gaku,this is Dragonlord Cea here. I heard on the peach vine that there is a p-wipe coming up soon. Great! But you know that age old adage where it goes, "history is bound to repeat itself". Well my brother, that applies to FFO as well. Some critics acclaim that FFO is "dead" right now. BAH HUMBUG I SAY!

But theoretically, if it was dead, a p-wipe would obviously change nothing. Dragonlord Cea would train without sleep for 6 days (and then rest on the seventh) and be an unstoppable Dovahkiin once again.

So by now you're most likely filled with anticipation, wondering to yourself "what should we do Cea".

It's simple. For the next p-wipe make the following changes:

- level cap of 30.
- leveling up takes less profs.
- profs get exp a lot slower.
- army is weaker.
- army is cheaper.
- repairs cheaper.

That's it! By doing this you make it so everyone is able to keep up with WLC (from casual to Dragonlord Hardcore) but at the same time, those on the Dovahkiin level are still "ahead" because they have higher profs that the milk drinkers couldn't possibly imagine having.

And by making the army weaker but cheaper you make it so that players are required to defend their domain and the people attacking aren't going to get trumped by the army. But at the same time, after a long and hard battle, the home domain isn't 2 million gold in the hole for losing their soldiers. This makes the game more fast paced and domain warfare more engaging.

And make repairs cheaper. Because 26k for some light green armor is kind of silly. (this one is optional)

BUT CEA! Gaku should be working on Terulia stop living in the past you jaded oldbie you just want profs on a platter.

Yo dawg, this isn't a massive update. This is a few numbers being changed here and there. And by doing these few number changes maybe you'll see people playing meta-game for the first time in a millennium.

Please Gaku just listen to me this one time. With these changes I hope to breath one last life into FFO before I deploy to Afghanistan to fight for your freedom and die a bloody, glorious death.

Also; I'll be taking questions at this time, as well as signing books.

edit: oh and like post if you agree thanks gang :)

I am against having a pwipe in general because I fail to see a real need in one.
BUT.
Should one happen for whatever reason, I would absolutely love to see these suggestions implemented. Like Cea said, this would make the game a bit more fast-pased, yet without the insane gods at WLC cap that we currently have now at level 54. Fifty-four. 30 as a set cap will make this waaaaaay more balanced, considering its what, the same three people at WLC, being Cea, Milord Neenj, and I?
Also, should said pwipe happen for said whatever reasons with said suggestions by Cea, I suggest a few other things:
1. Keep icons in, remove recolors as necessary.
2. Remove the 10% mana nerf that RW's got. They already had putrid mana as it was before, why make it worse?
3. Revert Refresh back to normal so that it isn't godforsaken WORTHLESS.
4. If possible, and just for the sake of shaking things up a bit, flip the map horizontally. It would make things far different so that people can get a bit of a challenge those first few times navigating some old puzzles and mazes, but still have that old feel.
5. Drastically reduce the item values of drops. We don't need superfantastical Bladed Demon-Tonfas of the Godslayer and Adamant Invincibility-Leggings. Ever. I wasn't around for it, but I hear tales of old where finding SPEEDS were a slight fraction away from impossible. Did people gripe then? I have yet to hear about people whine about that. Nowadays we are spoonfed gear to a detrimental degree. Shops spawn Silver and Highwayman for the love of God. Hell, when I first played I never even saw a Silver piece in all my life. Did I complain? Nope. Would I complain now? Nope.
6. In response to idea 5, increase gold drops by a small amount, like 5%ish.
7. Increase Citizen prof from 24 HWM to 45. Citizen, being what most ninja consider a very useful asset, is FAR too easy to obtain nowadays. I remember a time when only really really good ninja had this technique. Now, even I have Citizen, along with every other ass-backwards ninja in existence.
8. Make the prof cap 4/3x(level)+5, which would allow for the level 30 prof cap to be 45. This prevents t3s from being learned, while allowing pretty-much everything else (reduce Filch req for BS from 48 to 45 since ninja should still have at least one unique damaging move) to be learned. This also prevents, in the unlikely event that god-pieces are found with suggestion 5 in place, people from using god items (most of the weapons, at least, which were a large part of the problem).

The only things that wouldn't be usable are prof 50 weapons that generally are already unobtainable without QQ pugs.

Not everything is about you Cea. :D

Why stop people from achieving tier3s? I don't get it, they aren't broken and can be found usefull in training, along with how slow mages prof nowadays almost no one has a mage with t3s now anyway, if the prof cap were to be 45 atleast reduce the t3 prof req to 45 t1 45 t2

People won't put in the effort on mages, especially if cea's "make profs slower" crap is in, I already have annoyances on my rw, I just think the only prof changes needed would be making stuff like lockpick, temper, saber, hwm, citizen, although they are less used skills, they prof way too easy, their allowance cost should be maybe cut in half so they prof fairly compared to stuff like elements or statuses, it takes 2 saber casts to go from 1-2, while it took me around 80 lit casts to get to 2, and lit only gets harder while saber by spamming it on myself and fizzling, I had proffed to 15 in around 10 minutes, while lit took an hour to get to 5

totally 100% agree with po

_________________________________________

If I was an admin I'd delete all your posts, since mine is the only one that matters.

_________________________________________

totally 100% agree with cea and the sole purpose of this post is to show just how much I agree with him even though we now have +1/-1 options for this same general purpose

EDIT: Hail almighty 666th post

Once a pwipe is announced, nobody will play anymore. Cea is always telling me he wont train because there is a pwipe coming, so I guess the sooner the better, if thats what it will take to get Cea to play again.

There are alot of things I like about the way things were this hosting, but a few things I don't like, and some things I really hate. I really hate running out of allowance, like to the point it has made me want to quit comepletely, but I didn't. I don't realy like the imbalance of melee and wizard classes, melee have it so much easier now. I do like the fact that a champ swarm can't wipe out half of Giant Helm's full army like it could on that miserable level 20 cap hosting. I honestly love being able to reach higher levels, if there has to be a cap I think 40 would work, or even 35, but I myself personally prefer no cap.

Before a pwipe
fix running out of allowance, or negative allowance.
slight increase to magic power of all spells
allow newbies to stay on the island until level 19, or more

Am I reading this wrong or did you contradict yourself?

reply to Dr. Letha:

Any smart person would realize she meant after the wipe he would play.

That part I understood, but I didn't understand why she said that the pwipe would cause no one to play.

Hey guy maybe she meant when a p-wipe is announced people will stop playing.

Like she said.

Then why would we pwipe if it would result in people not playing anymore?

when a pwipe is announced (gaku makes a post saying a pwipe is going to happen)
then people (the people still playing ffo)
will stop playing (will no longer play the game and wait for the pwipe, or just leave forever idfk)
