Gluttony, veteran players, and new server.

Ok, so I keep hearing talk of a new server. Which sounds appealing without the vets who created high bile characters before the gluttony system took effect. Now the downside is that it would add more costs to running the game, so I came up with a solution to make us all happy. Except the vets.

The idea is to character balance the game under the new system, easy solution, all characters created before the system was in place will be killed. Now since i'm a nice guy, this will only affect those with biles over 500, personally i would have done 300 at the time the system was created in the first place, of course being veterans. Creating a new alt under the new system will be minor detail for you so no big deal. You should have the resources by now and if not, what have you been doing all this time? This will do many things for Salem, it will make current defenses more formidable without high bile characters running amok. It will create fair play for new players, where superior bile vets don't exist.

Alternatively to character deletion, they could make all characters created before the system was added to respec their characters.

As far the vets, well your biles were earned under the old system, under the new system however, they are not. You did not have to do nearly as much work to get them under the old system. Under the new system, you have not earned your bile levels and can never say you have earned your bile today.

As far as Salem goes, vets, you don't have to worry about this idea ever coming into play since fairness in only a concept and not a practice in Salem. Creating a new server solves these issues by avoiding them, not fixing them. Because of the low population, I wouldn't advise creating a new server at the expense of the game. The worst part of this suggestion, is not deleting characters, it is because it makes sense.

Have a nice day, I love all of you :)

it is not a joke, the old characters don't belong in the new system

This wasn't posted to make you all happy, it was posted as character balancing. MMO's balance games all the time, this is would be a nerf as they call it. Since characters exist with impossible levels under the new system, they should have been removed or respec'd to fall in line with the newer gluttony system. Or we have what we have now. It's not uncommon for a MMO to make changes that literally trashes your character to make the game overall better. I don't know what the population on the servers are vets and how many are new players, but i would expect a high percentage to be vets. None the less you can report it as spam all you like, it is not. Only one thread i posted wasn't entirely serious, but they mentioned they're not going to add anything dealing with bricks. So that's another story.

As far as you go, stop trolling my posts and play the game.

The gluttony system isn't even done yet, do you think they should wipe everyone every time they change the system.

Of course not, just depends on how much of an impact it has on the game to determine what should be done.

Currently all humours that were available pre-patch can be obtained with tier'd foods. Problem solved.

Ok, how about under the gluttony system. I do not have all four purities to make the best foods possible, so there is no way I can do the best combo's possible. Question is, how high can you get yours and how high is the highest bile level in the game? At some point invariance will stop you in your tracks.
