Varlyndria: Ascension - Fall of the Gods Expansion - Fall 2013

SPEED FIX 08/28/13

4000+ Gear Score is possible but it was almost impossible with the old mechanics of
the server. Here are some solid fixes to speed things up and make your time on Varlyndria
more enjoyable.

• Permanently increased the amount of experience players gain from killing mobs to 1.0 up
from 0.2. The server seemed really slow paced so we decided to speed it up so players can
get into it much quicker and enjoy themselves with a steady amount of progress.

• Enemies now drop roughly 20% more money then they did before.

• Increased the dedication point price of experience potions to 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000,
12500 and 15000. This change was made because of the new experience mod. Players will
need to spend lots of money on 300% potions now because the amount of AA they can gain
will be insane.

• Overlords AND Bosses now have a 35% chance to spawn up from 10-25%.

• Removed the Treasure Keeper. These special boss items need to be found again. Players still
have things to spend their AA points on like augments and getting their attributes up.

• The bazaar is still down until we can get the very game-breaking bug we found fixed. We are
still looking into it.

Emergency fix.

1.0 exp mod got too many complaints of easy mode so turned experience down to 0.3 Exp mod used to be 0.2.

EDIT: Would be awesome if I could edit my post at anytime instead having to post over and over. (that's why it happens if you didn't know already) I don't like doing that at all but no choice on these boards. I also feel other developers who are moderators have advantages in that way that others do not.

Of course people who are moderators are going to have advantages that others do not. This is a forum for the EQEmu project in its entirety. Server specific things are allowed here, more than 80% of anything server specific belongs on it's own forums or communication medium

It's not an extreme measure or disadvantage to ask a forum moderator to take care of something for you outside of your own forums.

Since this has bothered me in the past, I have raised the global forum 'Time Limit on Editing of Posts' to a day instead of 1 hour.

Hopefully that helps.

Yeah. One day helps a bit more..

Going to be taking a break and getting away from this for a little bit to clear my head. The server's not going anywhere but I am just really stressed out right now about a lot of things.

Thanks for your help Akkadius.

You are burning yourself out man! Stop listening to everyone's opinion about your server. It's your sandbox, design it to how you would want it as a player. You can't make everybody 100% happy so do what YOU think you would like. Keep up the great work.
