My idea's for improving GK...

That's your idea of realistic?

New maps? Fine. But why the level cap? It seems kind of dumb to have some Mystical Force (tm) that prevents weaker people from getting in. The fact that they will die upon entry should be a deterrent enough. Similarly, diminishing XP returns will be the reason for higher levels to move on.

New monsters, fine. But we have enough empty space that needs filling, new islands are unnecessary.

Why? Some people do like to play a game without getting killed every five minutes by jerks. That's WHY there's a peaceful mode in the first place.

Congratulations. You need talent as a Priest to use your Sorcerer skills. Consequently, you need talent as a farmer in order to swing your sword.

Why not fix the gods that nobody uses first?

No. Players are already paying for access to the server. Now you're asking them to pay more for access to new things?

So, you know how much fun it is to sit there and wait for 2 minutes while you can't do anything? Yeah, not much fun at all. If you really want to prevent spam killings, give respawned players 10 seconds of invulnerability or something.


Although you have a lot of ideas, I'd say they would best be used in a new server of your own creation, rather than trying to shoehorn them into GK.

1. The level cap doesn't have to be raised immediately, once there are alot more methods of levelling and many players are almost maxed on all skills, then it would be a suitable time to raise the level cap.

2.Yes, why would it require high level of wisdom to wear a ring that gives physical benefits?

3.The level caps were mainly for people who have exceeded the recommended levels, as my other post talked about item rewards, those items would grow common if many people above the level req just went through them in bulk.

4.Hmm, agreed, but everything will just end up being placed in a dungeon somewhere...

5.Most players in bmode are too bored and want to kill, sure there would be massacred in the first few weeks but we'd get tired of it sooner or later.

6.I never said anything about farming... Summoning would become more advanced and actually be useful in battle and not just for laming newbs inside bomb trade or in newbville.

7.Yea, but then i'd like to see some new gods introduced.

8.I forgot to check the subscription methods so ignore that section

9.2 minutes might have been too extreme.

A change from the current boring atmosphere of GK, where the only time your not truely bored is when there is either war or an exciting event taking place? I'd like change...

So basically you want to change Kingdoms to Zodiac?

I'd play GK if leveling was easier, and you didn't need to rely so heavily on food and being able to have someone else help you get *decent* items to kill things.

Zodiac's got nothing on GK... You can get to max level in a week on zod, and thats besides the point, the two servers are completely different in many aspects.

The fact that levelling is hard is what makes GK great imo, no newbish 1week grinding to get to max level... the food system is ok, and if you lose too much food, you can always pray to bile which makes you need such little food, or you can get sus + items

Yes we need change but most of your idea's will create too much of a change, nothing is wrong with what GK is we don't need to change it we just need to add to it.

There's a difference between making leveling hard, and making leveling a complete chore.

On the left of the diagram below is a typical experience curve, gradually rising as levels do.
On the right is a rough sketch of GK's experience curve, shooting up quickly (since the first few levels double needed XP to a certain point), and staying ridiculously high until the end.

When it takes 2 million XP to raise a level, and enemy kills grant 15,000 at best (Based on base lv 42, phys lv 19) , there is no need to be raising the level cap.

FIX THE EXPERIENCE CURVE FIRST

The only ideas I like was the new maps (not restrictions) and the new monsters..

Levelling isn't that difficult really, all it requires is tons of maps, the only time levelling becomes extremely tedious is at the levels of 15 - 25 when lords are the best source of exp (I still found maps better), but from level 25 - 70 phys, brutal and immense maps serve their purpose well, but the problem is that from 70 onwards, it's almost impossible to level... unless you have ALOT of time or funding. Alright, i'll agree with you, theres no need to raise the level cap. But new methods of levelling are much needed.

Thats a joke, right?
