Revenge of the Jedi MUD

It is with much thought and consideration that we have decided to award Keenstein as the winner of this month’s Quest of the Month.

Below is an excerpt from his post:

“I would suggest having “Max Level” on equipment just like minimum. This would mean that some special stats load on equipment that disappear if worn by someone over level 30 or 40 or whatever. Maybe the stats could even disappear if picked up by a higher player.. or the equipment can’t be picked up by someone over level 45 at all.. it burns them. This would mean the new and lowbie is forced to make the kills themselves. You could put this equipment on the “named” Mobs in newbie and lowbie zones (Hoth, Kessil, Sumitra, Anchorhead, Jabba’s etc.) This would give me an insentive to go and try and explore / kill mobs in those zones.

The biggest problem I currently see is that the hardest mobs I am able to kill at level 25 to 45 or so never give me equipment anywhere close to being as good as stuff just sitting in donations that Higher players scrap so the insentive isn’t there.”

Considering the amount of players that we have who have played this game a lot and obviously have connections or know where exactly the good, easy to get eq is, I chose this post because it introduced a great concept, creating decent gear for players at lower levels. This eq doesn’t have to be fantastic but providing opportunities for exploration and rewarding those opportunities with payout commensorate with the amount of effort I felt would be a great new addition to this game.

I do sincerely appreciate, as all of Meru does, all of the effort you guys put into this quest in coming up with great ideas on ways to improve the game. Given the amount of feedback we received, we will be in discussion regarding several of these changes and let you guys know about them as they go in.

Thanks again everyone, and May the Force Be With You

After some discussion with my brother Taksun, I’m interested to see what some of you, the consumers, want from us. So I’ve made a post on the forum calling out to all of you to let us know what it is you want to see most. The better the feedback we get from you, the more fun we can make this game for you and others. While we want to keep the forum open to you, the playerbase, we ask that you not become demanding or impatient, and especially to not get hung up if we decide that your idea is not functional, valuable, or in some way invalid.

So, check it out, and let’s get some brainstorming going!

Have you been a good little ewok this year? I sure hope so because the 12 days of Christmas ROTJ have come and with them come 12 days of gifting and adventure!

We will be opening Santa’s pack of gifts in the late afternoon, so make sure you are around for the joy and festivities.
