Well I think what went wrong was there was loopholes to max out your level. The first one I noticed was the Ruby DoPV. Then people mainly focused on 110 then just idled and acted cool. And then EA, IWD, and all of them became semi-extinct.
From discussions with Tig, it's not easily fixed without a reset. Becuase, some items are not standard. And trivial things like taking away EA's from items you wouldn't know what base armour the original item had, or other such variables.
Yeah I agree oldbies will just rush thru if alot was changed. I kinda suggested a storyline in the past, complete with cutscenes. i think that the tutorial at the beginning is just bad presentation. Players don't like being told how to do things, but they like knowing. I use this example: you show a short 10 second cut scene and a player walks to a door then "grabs" it and it opens. Anyone with half a brain would be able to associate grabbing doors with opening them and you didnt have to put an anoying message "press a to open door" that inevitably becomes annoying.
I do however, like the overall direction that GK is heading for the most part. I still think adding more outfits would be a good idea. I kinda want to challenge the people on these forums to take only the outfits currently available on gk and put together anything they think represents all the classes. I don't feel as if GK has enough "stye" in it.. maybe thats just me.
