I have also removed ALL ranking from the server as i feel it creats a really unhealthy atmosphere of elitism and removes the enjoyment of just relaxing and playing the game for what it is, so unless someone tells you thier level, your back to shoulderdashing/repulsing to see if your higher
We have the observer system on our files.ranking is useless imo, on zircon files at least you can look at people etc, its handy as you can see where people level and can possibly try them yourself.
Who's worrying about anything?Why are you spending so much time worrying about such trivia ?
Create more content, tasks, quests and targets for the real players of your servers, not the freaks who blast through to stupid levels then moan about lack of content for high level players.
The younger element tend to like to fight, have wars etc. so build tournament and war content for them.
The older, long term players tend to like good, long guild hunts with a decent boss at the end and maybe, just maybe a few choice items gained on the hunt with the guild leader decisions to be made on how to distribute them.
Not forgetting solo players who simply want a few hours escaping from a crappy day at work and also a chance of something worthwhile at the end of it
That's Mir, that's what makes Mir the draw that it is.
Make a server that achieves those ideas to atleast some level and you'll have a successful server.
Worry about a handful of oddballs and you're wasting your time.
My two penneth.
So I can log with an alt observing myself and having a buff?We have the observer system on our files.
We've made it so when you have observer active it provides you with a buff (but then people can see what you are doing / where you are lvling ect)
You have the buff for having the system enabledSo I can log with an alt observing myself and having a buff?
Or you get the buff without having someone else observing you?
Ah, so is like Zircon observer system. Nice one.You have the buff for having the system enabled
You can only toggle observer on/off when in safe zone
Just means you have the choice for an incentive but "exposing" yourself to being tracked as well
Who's worrying about anything?
This was merely a topic of discussion.
I'm sure ours as well as other's will cater to the wider audience (and multiple types of players), I have no concerns about that.
While I am working hours on the server, I like to have discussions on points I see on the forum / ideas that have been used to see what people's opinions are.
This is true.. there are other things similar to this that have a really negative impact on server moral.ill quote what i put on my thread to add to this discussion because its a great question for people to consider
hardcores love the ego boost of the rankings, casuals hate the ranking because you get depressed before you even give the server a go, im catering to the casuals so for me it was an easy descision
Zircon have some features too good to not re-use in Mir2Ah, so is like Zircon observer system. Nice one.
