Im cool with having my guys walk off into the sunset to start fresh. Would be nice to get the player base resettled into maybe 2-3 groups so it isn't split into 10 diff small groups who cant play together.

Sundren - Sestra - Aquor - Port Avanthyr

Bam, factions, each with its own unique flavor/theme but not some domineering or entrapping ropes wrapped around your character, so people who are for said cities, can generally be for the well being of said cities.

I had begun this conversion, and then life told me to stop.

Life does that, and it does come first before anything else.

I find the idea of a vault wipe refreshing, personally. I've already personally done it once when I erased all my old alts, and it lets you concentrate on a single character's arc. Also, there are a LOT of characters from the probably hundreds of accounts that have gone through sundren that no longer play here, that need to go to free up space. I'll miss Clan and Zachart, but honestly, I think it's time to shake things up and free people up from this "Team good/ Team evil" dynamic and get into the city vs. city dynamic. Seeing people working together to advance their city, despite not agreeing on ideology, is more interesting to me than "I'm a triad/banite, you're my enemy blargh!"

Also gives other people a chance to play the center piece to some faction/group. It's nice to let other people get to be the star, pull back to play a more supporting role. Freshen's up the RP, IMO. A server/vault wipe lets that happen.

Okay, I'll be posting my findings here, and edit this post as things go on: (Times mentioned are in Atlantic Time Zone)

Sunday, August 30th: Rep Down
Monday, August 31st: Rep Down (checked 9 pm)
Tuesday, September 1st: Rep Working (checked 3:40 am [hour and 40 minutes after reset])
Wednesday, September 2nd:
Thursday, September 3rd:
Friday, September 4th:
Saturday, September 5th:

Well, the rep system's up after reset, as normal. If someone could check on it later, during the day, and say whether it's working or not and what time they checked at, that'd be great. In any case, I'll check it again this evening.

Something that would also be kinda neat. Instead of starting at low level with the same low level content as all the other servers why not start out at higher level with higher level content, that way you can actually solo with the hard classes, like a wizzie.

Also, maybe have the valley in darkness, Sundren taken by the Blackhand, and port avanthyr being the last stand for the good guys. Seems like most people enjoy playing evils.

[Doubtful]

What would be ideal is a low level spread mid-range server, with a few modifications to keep things interesting. That way people across the board can party up, face the same foes and get something out of it without the super imbalance of very high level crap. It also makes DM events much more inclusive.

As for tone, again it's a balance. To bright and fluffy is just plain annoying, but so's too dark. If things are just miserable for the sake of being miserable then it just gets boring, like EastEnders, Warhammer or the later Game of Thrones stuff.

What we do need to get away from is the whole 'Sundren has a thousand soldiers who do nothing, the BH have in undead horde that does nothing' vibe and get it on with the angle of folk just trying to be folk.

Server was a better place when the soft cap was 15, I'd even say a soft cap of 12 would be pretty cool, make players who actually achieve high levels into something amazing... rather then everyone and their dogs being level 20+

I'll try checking after each reset, see if things are up, and again in the evening.

I'll continue posting updates on the reputation systems status until the server either goes down, or a solution is found.

[Memnoch1962]

Rep is not working now... so something happened since reset when Sparkie said it was good.

[jarlexel]

I checked it today,Triad rep not working and for some reason Syris is Kos with the Blackhand . . .Blinks

[Sparkie]

Hmm... Allan's rep's fine, and I logged in with him after reset.... Going ot check wiht another toon.

EDIT: Hogar's rep is borked. Seems that logging in with a toon after reset has their rep fine for the day. Will do more tests to see if this isn't just a fluke.

Also, sorry about not saying hi when ye logged in, Mem, was dragged afk at the time.
