heRO-Server Forum

I'm going to face heavy criticism for this so lets keep flames and stuff to a minimum. I'm not saying that I would raise the rates by like 20, just by a few to maybe 8x or even 10x

Should the server have an increase in rates? I mean, I noticed most of the low rates on RMS have over 7x rates, including the one thats beating us in ranking. I mean, our server would be nowhere near the top in rankings on top 100 if it weren't for V4P and we were basing the server on just the server alone because the top 100 are also filled with higher rate servers.

New generation of players don't have time for mindlessly grinding to 99 on heRO when there are not many rewards for having good gear other than MvPing and such since there is basically no WoE here.

If you are in favour of raising rates, how much would you raise it?
If you aren't, why not?

Yes, damn that 6x PK server!

I SAID MOST

New generation of players are idiots that we probably don't want on the server, anyway. ):

If this newfangled generation of players wants to spend an hour to get to 99, that's fine by me. But they must take their business somewhere else, sadly. Why should they get to work less on a server where everyone has to genuinely work for what they want, while still being less work than the original iRO?

The rates are fine as they are, and as they have consistently been forever, to the best of my knowledge. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

IMO rates are one of the things that are not to be touched after server starts. (aside from temporary rates events on special occassions)

Considering that this server has been running for uh..how many years?
..changing the rates is out of question.

The rates are fine as they are, people have to work to get where they are or where they want to go, thats what makes it satisfying to play. Too easy games are boring, you don't get any sense of achievement after beating them (or in the case of a mmorpg, reaching some goal like reaching 99 or getting your final gears together).

Not to mention that increasing the rates now would suck for all old players who spend tons of time needlessly leveling and hunting stuff with the old rates. I think it would lead to a serious population decrease.

YOU SAID INCLUDING. D=

-1.

Ok. *cracks knuckles*

I am against a rate increase because I happen to think our rates are fine. We have certain increased rate events which might be less exciting if base rates were raised.

You mentioned WoE. I don't think the rates on Hero are the main thing affecting WoE here. Perhaps less players wanting to put in the work. I semi-include myself in that I do work but not for WoE.

There are servers with higher rates. If we up the rates now we'll be setting a precedant. The server has been alive for years. No need to change that.

Also as was pointed out, It would screw over veterans. Newbies can compete on here. I've seen several start up & become pretty damn good in a short time.
