Hall of Fame

[Spleen]

was more of a "well, thats nothing special nowadays, and wasnt back in the days with 22nds server" statement

[Nessaj]

Level: 34
Experience: 151,071,314
Level up in: 29,906,330

Title: Master
Hall of Fame: Yes
Heirloom: +5 points
Generation: +1 (18)

Personally I don't think the benefits out-weights the time spent, and 5 loom points does not equal the amount of time it takes to get this level. I stopped retiring because I didn't want to grind to a certain level every week to participate in some Strategus battle, or otherwise events -- back then there were plenty of initiatives such as tournaments etc -- had a full set of looms too, can't really use more than that, an alternative armor, weapon, sure but eventually there's really no need to continue grinding, just logging on to play whenever one feel like it is a much better experience, a free experience. The "side effect" of that is of course attaining a high level eventually but in no way, shape, or form, in an anywhere near timely manner, on the contrary it takes forever.

Cooties, do the 29 Mil XP, then retire, Grandmaster!

[Tanken]

Devs actually added something to this game without taking something else away... O.O

tbh, this is a great addition. 31-32 sounds much more appealing now.

[BASNAK]

Everyone point and laugh at all those that retired just to get on the Hall of Fame.

[TurmoilTom]

Wow this hasn't changed when I want to retire or what my future plans are at all.

Awesome.

I've heard more then a few horror stories about similar stories, I literally spent 8 minutes scrutinizing and re-reading my choices before hitting submit two days ago, hahaha

What's your build and what builds did you try out that didn't work as well?

I think he is sporting the same build as me atm... Right Torben? 18/21?

[Ninja_Khorin]

Meh. Heirlooms are worthless for me, and I don't really care if I have my name on the hall of fame.

And I really dislike levelling. It's why I stopped retiring.

[Latvian]

i retired and after like 1 h i am at level 21 and it is enough to kill some people.

[XyNox]

Stop retiring you fools, this is what they want. Keep your high lvl instead and threaten devs to insta pwn peasants unless they add more cool stuff for high lvl retirement.
