Wheel of Time MUD

I was just wondering, i know the stat bots were a point of contention among the player base. Would it be possible to bring the instant respawn trees back for 1 day of the week with a bonus to exp and just call it Statting Day? Of course the bonus exp could be used for those looking to level a character as well.

I just figured i'd ask, prepared to have my head bitten off.

the larger intent is to xp at level 51 to gain re-rolls.

Find a friend, kill some preds in blight areas, or lizards on Falme... more opportunities for pk to find you than running a stupid bot that gives nothing when killed.
Or just go nuts with the smobbing, as that gives decent xp as well.

Once the reroll code gets approved, anyway.

I mean, I don't think that is feasible if someone wanted to stat an MC, The smob group would be able to tell with the capped hps. Same with finding a friend. I've also been wanting to stat a DS character, but i'm not sure on how that will go because i don't know the areas, and any time I'm on DS shows maybe 1 player who gets on to PK.

I don't see anything wrong with the re-rolls when they're implemented, but I wouldn't think one day a week for people who want to stat a character would be a bad thing.

I’m so disappointed. Staturday was right there…

I was going to suggest Staturday Saturday, but wasn't sure it would be a good idea. Figured more people would play on the weekends and I didn't want anyone up in arms and stressing out over seeing stat bots on a higher pop day as it was creating more lag and what - not.

Considering the coding change that is in the queue, having a statting day would just serve to have people bot on newbies now, in order to circumvent having to level at level 51 to improve stats. It would essentially facilitate getting around a future coding change with zero investment on part of the player, because newbie, nothing to lose and botting. So no.

What is the deal with rerolls now..are they good?

Did you guys come up with pre-rolled stats for the MC yet?

Unfortunately, we were pre-occupied with a spambotter and this hasn't been a priority.

MCs will have pre-rolled stats as part of the changes once they are out, yes. The stats are terrible for channeling but enable blending in a bit better than today. We are also restricting use of gate/incin/etc for those pre-rolled.
