The inspiration from this came from Melee Monday :)
Basically, one day at the weekend, there is no upkeep OR any gold exp gain. This will allow players to mess about in the higher tier things they have purchased without fear of bankruptcy.
For obvious reasons, this will only be held on one server, else we'll get rages against not being able to level
I would suggest the EU4 servers as they are quite large and can house all the players who'd like to do this
EDIT!
PLEASE POST WHY IF NO!
Thank you :D

Bump :)

One weekend day is way too much, a lot of people have jobs and play mostly in the weekend. 2-3 hours one weekend day or a night on a weekday would be ok though.

it would only be on one server though
They could go play other servers?

You can't really put "No" and not put a reason, to those 6 people who put no
Without reasons for things, cRPG will never be impoved
If you can't be bothered to say WHY, don't blooming vote
-
Sounds fun and yes it should be a day. Not everyone lives in the same time zone.
-
I replied NO.
BECAUSE chadz implemented upkeep for several reasons he has already explained,
and "free weekends" is just another feeble attempt at circumventing it, again.
-
I replied yes.
It's not circumventing anything because he said there'd be no xp and gold gain. People would just play for fun, no crazy grinding. I say - if that's just one day and one server - make it happen.
Edit: Also you might wanna change the topic title and make it somehow clear that it doesn't make the weekend "free" (if I understood you correctly).
-
No, damn you, don't try to cheat the upkeep system again! It was implemented for a reason.
-
Casuals will whine over the hardcore players everywhere, i saw it in WoW, i see it here now...
...simply put: No.
And why? I started playing like 2 weeks before the big patch that introduced upkeep, i just farmed for my gothic plate i get to wear time from time, mostly with friends. I do not think having the opportunity to play without xp/gold/upkeep is too tempting, i mean: why would i bother when i can actually do the same wreckage on "normal" server and then play in leather for few rounds to make up for the gold loss (which is not that big deal, in mail hauber, winged helm, mail over leather greaves and red wisby gauntlets, with german sword and usualy barmace, i am actually EARNING money).
I feel you, i mean, i know why you want this implemented, yet i would not say it would help anything.
edit: sorry, i just have to, a guy with nick LordRichrich asking to do something so he could save money, lol

No!

No!

thats retarded, the whole game is balanced upon upkeep now
you might as well just say "lets completely remove any form of balance on the week end woot" rofl
-
WEll hell I said yes, but only for a day, I spend most of my time on the reward-less duel server because I can use whatever gear I want. Would be nice to battle like that once in a while.
-
No, damn you, don't try to cheat the upkeep system again! It was implemented for a reason.
Oh, having a good reason doesn't mean it's good to come up with a fail "solution". Like "oh damn we have too much unemployed people !" "okay, let's build a big landmark to create some jobs"...
Upkeep is short-sighted and brutal, the prototype of the easily designed, fast implemented and half-assed solution.
Some people have though of subtler approaches to the "balance" problem that emerged pre-upkeep. Read this for example : http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,442.0.html
-
It's a perfect idea. Please don't be selfish who says NO. People can play with items which they want for 2 days. And with the new gold system, every1 can buy heavy armors.
-
no. if you are going to do that, do it on a non-peak day.
-
I wouldn't really mind it, if it's one day one server only. As long as upkeep means the best stuff isn't taken 24/7 it does its job.
-
Hell no! This game is about character progression! :shock:
For now... *looks at what chadz is doin'*
-
Definetly not,
Id rather like to keep the two days where i can play for more than a few hours fun, rather than have 120 people in plate charging at eachother every round.
-
well looking at the poll i'd say most people like the new upkeep and don't think it's a fail solution.
so i'd rather not see the weekends ruined for those people who actually play the game the way it is right now.
i could live with an hour or something on one of the servers but never ever two days and especially not on the weekend.
maybe just put up a battle server without upkeep and xp/gold gain for people to play on with their best stuff.
ah hell for all i care give them half the normal battle xp and just no gold.
as long as everyone has the choice not to play against tincans only i'm cool with it.
-
I think its a terrible Idea personally. Whats wrong with playing naked for 30 minutes? 2 days will be plenty of time for someone to get right back into tank mode...
30 minutes of play naked with a weapon will make you a decent amount of change...

:lol: So, LordRichrich isn't so rich after all?
Why do you think disabling a balancing mechanic that was introduced for a very good reason is a good idea?

:rolleyes: Not skilled enough to play in med-tier armor and actually help the team without easymode equipment, are we?
-
No. Because I don't think there would be enough people who'd be interested in playing for no gold/xp gain to warrent taking up a server for a day.
As a matter of fact, I'd say a healthy number of people who voted "Yes" didn't read your post, and merely responded to the poll without realizing they would not be levelling or getting gold. That's just guesswork on my part, however.
-
Upkeep is just not that bad, everything I wear repairs for 200-300 and I can still make a little $$ most nights. I would however not be opposed to a couple of hours that would make it like melee mon. no?
-
I'd say yes if you don't get any experience or gold during that time.
-
It would be 2 whole days of everyone wearing gothic plate, black armour and riding chargers! :cry:
No, no and no again! I never ever want to see things return to the dreadful state they were before the patch.
-
Bump. Now Upkeep-Free Fridays.
Or Money Mondays.
Or Warhorse Wednsdays.
-
You can go on every non-official server to play (like the fallen brigade servers).
It's no upkeep all the time!!
-
Shogunate_cRPG is working with no xp and no upkeep. Its an EU server where you can tincan all you want
