As many of you know there have been several exploitations which a few players have decided to use to become rich, and some people have decided to farm places like Sharahan Hills even after they well exceed the level for the area.
In the coming weeks we are going to be designing and implementing features which will address these two issues directly. Players who roleplay and quest/fight will find that there is little effect it will have on them. Players who constantly grind and farm areas, take loot while the rest of the party tries to finish killing a mob, etc. will find that life has just gotten a lot harder.
I do understand that there are no quests aside from what the DMs offer right now, so these changes will coincide with the introduction of the quest system, along with some new quests.
I have not finalized my decision yet, but there will very likely be a character wipe after beta to ensure a clean slate for all. I realize some people are roleplaying and have chosen not to exploit the server but rather help fix these issues. As gratitude to them I think this will be the best option to ensure fairness.
