I was curious about the options AGS has to fix the damage caused by exploiters, trying to think what i would have done if i was in their shoes, but i’m not, so i will just throw a random thought and ask for the forum opinion.
We know that time can heal, but at least in my server there were so much dupe that i don’t believe that there’s feasible time to do so, and then i thought that an expansion of content in general, as a way to devalue everything that was magically created, might be a good way, but…
…what about a half restart for those who choose to do so, like a transfer to a fresh server where you leave behind all of your gear, money, storages, houses, territories, etc and go only with your character naked? You keep your level, merchant skills, achievements and when you arrives in this new server you get the chance to choose a rare gear with random perks with level*9 GS? (of course, after some fixes)
I know it’s crazy, but i just wake up and want to kill time till maintenace is complete.
One of the big issues is that people have exploited the game in order to level, buy mats to level trade skills…and one of the big things I’ve seen – being the highest level to prey on people below them
I’m all for fixing the bugs and then opening new, transfer-free servers. Or a complete wipe, pause to fix what they can, and re-start.
But just allowing people to pop up on new servers with people going there to start over. Naw. Transfers wrecked a bunch of servers when big groups of exploiters simply took their gameplay there. Tons of posts about it.
With those big toxic companies transfering to new servers with dozens of level 60 characters all lvl 200 in every crafting and gathering skill, there wouldn’t be much point in opening that kind of transfer option.
New, no-transfer, start from the beach for those that want that. Or a complete wipe. Either works for me.
