Hey Cordovan what do you really think of this one?

Quote:
The massively popular video game Everquest II will start sending cheaters and rule breakers to their own "prison server."

EQ2 is one of those games, like World of Warcraft, with a huge online community of dedicated players. Playtime is serious -- and bullies inevitably ruin the experience.

The exile is permanent, a "ONE-WAY trip for an entire account forever," developers announced earlier this week.

The dedicated server is a solution that EQ2 customers have wanted for years as a way to deal with disruptive players. A team of Game Masters will decide who gets banished.

But it's not all bad news.

Players relegated to this Australia of EQ2 can continue to live and socialize in their own, separate virtual world and can maintain their membership. However, they won't get any customer support, and they won't be able to rejoin the larger game community.

"As gamers, we recognize there are some players who like to step outside our rules," the developers said. "Ultimately, players who break the rules -- or want to -- will have a world of their own to do... whatever they will."

Daybreak, the company that makes EQ2, is calling this an experiment.

"We wanted to see what happens given it's not a very common option," it said.

Typically, video game companies punish bullies by kicking them off a session or temporarily banning them from playing. But the punishment clearly isn't severe enough because these online trolls tend to pick up their bad ways again later.

That's why Daybreak is trying out this rigid new approach. But this is a penal colony anyone can visit.

Players who are curious about what it's like in this prison server can ask to join through the game's petition system.

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

This is funny.
It's meant to be a punishment whilst maybe keeping some revenues....

To us Vaulties, it actually sounds more appealing than current.
Probably would be best server for least lag too.

Prolly not.  Many features depend on or create lag.

I could imagine it being a vehicle for looking for and removing features. 

Not for Turbine, of course. They already ignore Lama.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things.

Amazed that it's taken this long for a company to do that. I long ago discovered that exploiting and griefing gave me more joy than gaming.

If I had played AoC beyond Tortage, this would have been my endgame:

All kidding aside, the idea is interesting and crazy enuf to be worth a try.
  

Vaultaccount wrote on Aug 29th, 2016 at 7:06pm:
The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Not liking how this metaphor is gaining momentum.   Sad
We haven't been a penal colony in well over a century guys.   Undecided

Easy soln.  You just be naughty on your mule and bring them over, or just asked to be banished because your "friend" is there.

Instead of making this a "prision server", they should just make this a server like Lamma, that you just go and take the items you want, choose the past lifes you want (if the game has benefits for level reset), make your toon from start to end both in gear and abilities in the character creation pannel...
