servertypes that reward various amounts of gold/xp.

Today a crpgserver rewards some gold and some xp , say its 50/50.

What if there was 2 kinds of crpgservers?

say EU1/NA1 rewarding mainly gold (90%) and xp (10%), and EU2/NA2 mainly XP (90%) gold (10%).

low level chars would tend to play on the XP heavy one, and highlevel would tend to play on the goldheavy one. Mercenaryserver and Peasantville.

Would make all the lowlevel gear shine and get used more. Variety!

And people can have fun playing from the start, instead of being run over by highlevel powerhouses the first days of a gen.

Yay or Nay?

I... can see my "Low level" 33 main hitting the XP version since my gear only costs 11K.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I dislike this idea.
This is because I intend to grind as fast as possible to 31 and retire multiple times, but if I do that according to your plans, I won't have any gold to spend on gear and to pay upkeep. It'll take much longer to level up as well, and I'm not one for hopping servers back and forth.

Nice idea... 

If you want a server full of archer (the xp one) or a server full of cav (the gold one)

 :rolleyes: :P
A lot of people in the NA community know that Dach rages and in the process of his uncontrollable rage, he tends to kick people.

You've been warned! :twisted:

Not 90%/10%, but 75%/25% perhaps. And maybe a third server for just 50/50?

Fair idea with some tweaking.

Are you crazy?

Alot of people prefer playing battle instead of siege, because on siege you encounter even more idiots than on battle servers and for many other reasons as well.

How many months do you expect a person to play before he can hit lvl 31 then? :shock:


Most stupid post I' ve ever seen here :rolleyes:

I like the idea. But its difficult to see how this would turn out and if its a good thing or not.

Lets assume the xp-server would be full all the time with all the people got into the heirlooming race plus beginners.
Only the few level 31+ players who don't retire (anymore) and the ones saving money to use it in the xp server would play in the gold-based one. The first use normal equipment and stay most time on this server, the latter use cheaper equipment to kick ass with good equipment in the other server and level up faster.

now, back to the question: is this a good thing?   :|

Why do you think player above 31 don't need xp anymore?  :shock:

Can't believe anyone believes that.
People above 31 are even more horny for xp because they wanna reach 32/33 etc :rolleyes:

And it takes way longer than from 0-31 if you want to reach 33 :wink:

I was level 33 myself before I got into that heirlooming thing. I didn't cared about xp at all just played with my main or two-three alts. I hope that I will be there some day again, but now that I started it I naturally want a good set of looms first.

Of course can be that people actually strive for reaching level 33 but I imagined most don't care that much no more. Could be wrong, sure.

However, I would like to see how this would turn out.

Actually alot of players who got all the looms they wanted (me included) are going for higher lvls to get a certain build and they need all the xp they can get :/
my build is more or less ready at lvl 33/34 and I don't think I'm the only one with that

You wouldnt be able to sustain money on xp server, would mean you hop around alot.

I think it would be ok to do a server like 60/40 or 55/45 but I dont think you could go beyond thtose ratios wihtout causing problems.

Nice thought tho.
