Gentlemen.

It has been brought to my attention by an unnamed source, that there have been further custom change's applied on our once beloved server. RvR xp has been decimated. I try to remain calm about the matter, but i am filled with so burning a rage that i cannot contain my own bare naked fury - and have decided to vent the matter through our heavily moderated Uthgard forum's.

WHY, oh why have you inflicted this upon us, We are the lifeblood of your server, the blood pumping through it's electronic vein's, yet you mock us so? Further pushing the proletariat toward the mind numbing boredom of PVE to gain our blessed level's.

At many a point in history have we heard stories about a whole people suppressed. I believe, that if we unite together as one - rather than remaining as we are, fractured and dispersed, we can overthrow the tyranny that is permeating throughout the entirety of our freeshard.

Fight the power, my friends - for deep within yourselves you will find the strength needed to join forces with me ... all i require is weapon's and your will!

I guess most will welcome that the xp bonus in RvR is down from 1000% to 500% as the /xp off command was removed. I promise you that most players will prefer 500% instead 1000%. Btw 1000% was custom change too...

Holy crap man, props for using a word I have never even heard of before and using it well according to the definition I found online. Rastah, you crack me up.

2: the lowest social or economic class of a community

I would get that checked out by a doctor as it could be a serious condition.

Blue, your use of number's both confuses and offend's me. Whilst you respond with percentages, I respond with passion. This is not so much about the change itself, but the earth shattering message it send's to everyone. From the most awesome high rr legend, to the lowly Mag Mell noob ... We have no power, we are at the mercy of your whim's and fancies! that sheer common sense has no place inside the decision making process of uthgard's illuminati.

Borgeousie collaborator!!!!!

Stop waiting for a vanguard to step in. All organization starts from below.

Rastah, where is your problem?
The rvr xp gain was lowered from +1000% (gues cap) to +500%, so you can hit the cap RR of the BG's without /xp off.

So this livelike(!) fix was to help you out in BG's as you can stay longer before xp-cap them.
So you can enter thid with like 46-47 and will probably cap it with 49 and 4lx and i guess thats just fine.

It's a satire.

Also, why does Rastah get to keep the lastname CumBlastah when others have been forced to change much tamer names? ^^

Mate - I am no Bourgeoisie collaborator, I am the voice of those too weak and subdued to have a voice of their own. UP the proletariat, I proposed the idea to bring in a voting system, so that any significant change's, whether it be socio-economic or any other change that directly effects the Uthgardian, be passed through a majority vote of players. The fire's of revolution burn brightly across the whole of our world. A new era of change emerging with the realisation of our potential empowerment that is pivotal to the point of this paragraph.

Rasta, Uthgard is not a democracy.
The Playerbase got a Voice feel free to nominate players for the Player Council.

Everyone is allowed to post his opinion, so i don't know what you try to reach with that.
We do not force you to play here.

Edit: Even if its a satire.. normally a satire (often) got a "important" political Topic, but i just don't see where he wants to point at, as the changes he mention don't have such a big impact.

You have hit the nail on the head my misguided friend! The primitive hierarchical model of governance employed here is an affront not only to a man's pride, but also his integrity.

I dont understand why xp off was removed? Did it effect people in a negative way or allow cheating? Even with it's removal, someone can just cide and suffer xp loss preventing xp gain but at a cost of gold. So nothing was really gained. The only real loss comes to decreasing the xp gain as now it is yet another "fix" that prolongs the road to 50. I am forced to play during low pop times and here is another speed bump in my journey to having a lvl 50. Ultimately the game is about being 50, the grind to 50 is just training for the real end game. So why does staff continue to make it harder to achieve 50?

I hate to sound like a ******, but people have been expressing some valid concerns lately and staff is pretty unresponsive to feedback. Granted you cant make everyone happy, but why change things for the negative and ignore complaints?

Okay i'm tryin to explain it again.

/xp off was removed, cause it does not fit the targeted patch level, so one small step closer to the goal.
To minimize the impact of the removal of /xp off (the command was just /xp btw) we did fix the RvR 1000% xp Bonus to 500% xp, so players can still enjoy the bg's without hitting the max level before reaching 2lx,3lx,4lx.

So you can still xp in the BG's by doin RvR and are not forced to GRIND TO LEVEL 49,5 (thid example) as about 80% (a guess of mine) of the Players did before joining the Battlegrounds, you are able to join the bg's a bit earlier now and should still be able to compete with the other realms, as they got hitten by exact the same fixes.

Edit: So this fix was for all the Players who don't want to grind all the way to level 50.
And again both fixes combined result in nearly the same situation we had before the fixes, but you can enter the Battlegrounds a bit earlier now!

Edit1: Noone forces you to suffer under the xp death. It is your choice to go and die.
If you are kicked out of Thid on 3l8 or such, just grab a group task, grab a group (by "Grab" i mean try to build one, a smallmen is enough) and raid a keep or do some smallmen RvR or zergs. You'll get fast to 5lx i know it my chars never capped Thid and i didn't had that big problems to get to a higher RR, because i tried to build a group myself and just ran into RvR.
For those who got kicked out of Thid by that patch : You are not alone there are some more, even in the other Realms, so feel free to participate in RvR.
If you die constantly in Emain -> HW / Odins is a choice too.
As you are not alone by being kicked out of Thid before 4lx that means, there are some more below RR4 who need to gain some RP's in 50's RvR.

The community fades and you bring "nerfs" to this server that ****** ppl off and make them leave and its always the same message "we changed it to match livelike classic".
I wait for the day when horses, housing, spellcraft, tajendi disappear and of course savages, bonedancers and arawns etc. because it ´s not livelike classic .

Well uth. is not democracy, ok, but maybe you should think about which degrade fixes are really needed and a rp nerf in battlegates has exactly which advantage? The battlegates are not that crowded anymore as they had been 1-2 years ago and its way easier to gather xp in leveling groups as in RvR.

Ppl need more time to reach their rp-cap now so they can gather more exp in the battlegates, funny. Come on, you know ppl just kill themselfs and jump from walls just to lose xp, too much rps are not the problem... That is the point,- you don ´t wanna see, ppl kill themselfs just because of a fix that was just...not needed, so why you don ´t make a voting about the /xp off command, I guess you will have a clear result. Not every patch or fix on live had been bad or anti-classic.

Btw. you mentioned the player council,- where can I see their discussions and votings? I can ´t imagine there was any real discussion with pros and cons and a clear voting at all, sorry to say that,- no offence but I ´m very upset about the policy at this server at the moment and I miss the votings and a staff that looks to the community spirit.
Staff seem to not care about players opinion any more, that ´s sad, it had been better the years before in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents

yeah Blue. you know your community, everyone will be so happy that he has to xp even more in PvE

This topic was doomed to fail from the start, so before the Molotov cocktails come out, I'm spraying the firehose.
