I threw this idea out at PEQ and they said though promising it could never happen there, so on thier suggestion I will share the idea on this board. If someone has already thought of this then I am sorry
First off I want to say I realize the mission of PEQ is live simulation and I think thats great and if this falls too far off the chart then I accept that. That said I wanted to throw a crazy topic out there.
First with the reasoning behind it and the human motivation. One thing many have experienced (I have heard it expressed on live and here) is you make a character you start playing with people and make friends and get to know them and then they (or you) leave for a week or so and when they come back you have outleveled them greatly and your new found friend is lost because you can no longer group with them and hangout. I think this is a large reason for people to tire of trying to solo all the time or box and leave PEQ. I know everyone brags about the ease of leveling to 65, that's fine, we think you are uber and your saying that only confirms it three fold! Entering this world alone or refusing to box is a cold cold place unless you are a necro or a mage and then its still really cold . So motivations defined.
Would there be some way to have a virtual group so that you could sacrifice a portion of your experience to their character? I heard someone come on the other day and mention this "Does this game have bands? Where people who are not online still get experience from the band to keep them the same level?" I personally thought this was genius but I have no idea on how hard it would be to implement. Just curiuos.
bands not groups....
