I enjoyed older versions of crpg

If you enjoyed older versions of CRPG this might be why.

In the work place, people say you promote to incompetence.  This means you were good at your job but you promoted until you don't know your new job and perform poorly at it.  Then you can't promote anymore because your boss thinks you do a sh*ity job.  Now your emplyee's are stuck with a bad boss and everyone looses.

I beleive the same exists with mmo's.  They patch to incompetence.  They just keep patching until nothing is enjoyable.  Eventually all weapons would do the same damage and everyone who have the same speed and health.

k..
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

He's right, archers are doing too much damage as it is.

My first demand: Rounceys and Destriers should be given a higher charge rating.

My second demand: Only hoplites will be given a new ability "Shield Bash" which stuns the enemy for 1 second. 0.5 second cd.

Fulfill our demands or we kill the PR.

Here is a post of mine from a while back. Though I can say I think Devs stopped making large changes for a while now.

Every patch moves CRPG closer to native.

More and more people are the same level
More and more people have closer wpfs
More and more people have similar armor rating
More and more people don't have to work to make it to level 30
More and more people get their heirlooms gimped to the point they are only a slight bonus

Each time we move closer to the day when hard work and dedication mean nothing.

So after you tried autoblock the game does not feel the same anymore? =(
OH NOES!
Also nice how you removed your post from that thread ;)

Go back to the times where you gained exp and gold by killing and being next to someone being killed. This will make people work together.

People on horses can get a bigger radius so they still get gold and exp by flanking.

Increase horse charge by a lot, and decrease horse health by a lot. That way it will be balanced out.. Horses always tipped the tied in battle with a good charge but if they attacked a waiting enemy, they'd be killed easily.

My rouncey isn't awesome enough, make my rouncey more awesome. I get so angry when I charge into a mob of 10 guys and batter them out of the way like flies and ride off. My rouncey should trample them to death instantly and bite there arms and heads off. Some one put a horn on the plated charger so that thing can finally be a real rhino.

In all seriousness, buff sumpter by 1 point of speed and give champion sumpters 1.8 speed bonus in strat.

Fammi un pompino!

Good news everybody! It's not nut cancer :)

Frank the tank, you're a bows  :mrgreen:

Anyway, wasn't there one (or a few) servers that displayed the old system not long ago? Some servers that people could play on where you only got money for kills and 70% of the players were peasants with stones hoping their stone would be the one that took down the plater. To be honest I really enjoyed playing cRPG  in the "old days", it was a lot of fun, but it's not fun for that long. I think cRPG should be a game mostly focused on skill, not who grinds the most.

Y'kno, there is a xmasRPG, which was basically old cRPG, a couple servers were running that. Some people went ahead and predicted that such a thing might eclipse current cRPG.

Well, those servers never got above 30 players on and died a pretty quick death before anyone could really get above medium armor. So much for that.

Played for awhile as NA on EU server, but have been spoiled by NA servers, so eventually migrated back to regular cRPG. That and old archery style, gg.

Not that i 100% agree with the OP, but i did enjoy "original" cRPG much more, and it does feel more and more like native now :)

There was ONE server, and it was EU. It mostly filled with NA, but we got tired of the ping. Someone said they would launch an NA server, but it never happened. I don't think there would be enough interest now after that disappointment. A shame that it died out not long after I got my hunting crossbow.
