Increasing mid rate range to 26-200x?
« on: Dec 17, 2008, 12:10 am »
Just wondering why you guys chose 26x~150x to use as mid rate.

The majority of the players in my server (plus new players) consistently ask me to move my server under the mid rate or question why it is under high rate. They all assume I chose to put it under high rate, not that you guys filter it. From the increased level cap and the item rates, this server does feel quite like a mid rate. Is it possible to get RMS to increase the range to a max of 200x to put in the bracket, allow me to choose which section, or have it calculate an average of rates to use? ([200+200+50]/3=150) Looking at 200x servers, it would only be adding 13 servers to the mid rate pool anyways. I also know of 'mid' rates but then they add custom mobs that actually makes it quicker to level than the 'high' rates, and yet they retain the guise of mid rate. Which is quite misleading IMO.

Not to mention it gets quite old when people come expecting high rate features (@warp, @storage, gold rooms, MVP rooms, etc) of my server, even though it is technically a mid rate in my eyes. Any insight or input would be appreciated, thanks.

well to be honest, there are no set distinct rules as to what is a mid rate, and what is a low rate, and so on

like a lot of things here, its basically just assumed that you'll place it where it belongs

i don't think I can do that as a request from one person really, because it change others too.

Remember 1x is 1 times the exp/jexp/drop, and 2x is 2 times the exp/jexp/drop .. etc

from that, to me there seems to be a huge difference from 150 to 200.  My view of mid-rate is something that is slightly faster than low-rate but will not make the game boring by getting to 99 in a matter of a week or less. 

Actually I have never played on a 150x nor a 200x.  I think the most i played was 100x.  So more opinion from other experienced people is recommended before a decision can be reached.

I'd say it could even be lowered more. 200x seems pretty high to me.

I think 200 is pushing it. I agree with yC's opinion on this one.

I quit! No longer GMing, thanks.
