I would suggest we do run time testing on multi/bot/charmi for the rest of the wipe.
Monitor unique ips and just get stat over the next couple of months. Then hold another poll asking what the playerbase thinks having multi/bot/charmi after 2 months of real time testing.
Some rules:
1. All bot and scripts allowed.
2. Multiple logging char allowed.
3. Multi char sharing allowed.
4. Randoming and multiple killing allowed.
5. No pzap, pdelete, no interference from imms (except to log and analyze).
New shops
1. Regen, heal, stoneskin, ams pots and scrolls.
2. Charmies : healer, tank, thief, fragger type (level dependant and limit 1 per char)
Change the following items
1. scroll of recall and glowing recalls to "scoll of one way town portals".
-This allows ppl to enter the portal (require standing) back to town.
-Also allows pkers to use the same portal to chase their target back to same town
-Requires 2 actions to escape: 1st to recite, 2nd to enter portal.
2. word of recall spells stays same. "Pots of recall" change to scroll of one way town portals.
Pk limit
1. 4 ticks of cooldown everytime you log in from an inn. Char cannot pk during this time.
Many people claimed we have always been catering our needs to the carebear players and that is causing the decline in playerbase. Why not just open the flood gate, and let the "real" players prove they can rejuvenate the mud to its former glory?
2 months of testing isn't bad considering we have like 20 years of history?
