What is the point of upkeep?

[Shamlow]

I paid upkeep before I was level 20, I know have 3 friends under level 20. They are all paying upkeep.

Upkeep seems to trigger at:

• Level 26 and above.
• Over 10,000 in gold.

[Shamlow]

I know for a fact, both of those triggers are incorrect.

• Level 26 and above.
• Over 10,000 in gold.

They have changed this a while back due to people abusing the system, they would respec before they hit level 26 so they would never pay repairs, and mostly just ran heavy cavalry nonstop until they changed that.

There's a song about it. http://soundcloud.com/excavation_pls/420-kings-of-kd-crpg-rap

I'm really glad this thread turned into me arguing with a bunch of trolls. Now none of the Devs/Admins will bother with it or bother worrying about this problem.

I'm really glad op turned into an argumentative troll.  Now none of the Devs/Admins will bother with it, or bother worrying about something that's basically a non-issue.

It's only a non-issue for close minded people, who don't care about the health of a game they are currently playing and enjoy.

cRPG has been getting bigger over time, and we have had repairs now for quite some time

Just because repairs keep pissing in your cheerios doesnt mean the health of the mod is degrading, if anything this community has flourished since then.

But hey why am I wasting my time posting the facts oh sorry I mean "trolling" you.

[Shamlow]

I'm online right now, there are less than 200 people online.

By the way, you aren't posting any facts. You have no numbers or logs for any time period. All you are posting is your opinion.

Upkeep starts at level 25 and/or at respec.

It's a sort of buffer zone for new players to build up some capital. Everyone loses money, it's just a matter of how much. If you're having trouble with upkeep, wear cheaper gear.

Yes, because you being here for all of a few days, knew the size of the community over a year ago. 120 people is enough to fill a server. Last I checked there was about 90 people in each NA battle and NA siege, a few months ago at this time of day there might be about 100 people online total in just battle, while siege sits empty.

[Shamlow]

Ok, I am under level 25. Why am I paying upkeep?

[Jacko]
