I agree that the current exp isn't as nice as the original exp, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. You also seem to be forgetting about how the fact that the monsters in the Halloween Haunted House (evilhand) are only around for a week or so out of the year. Zombies are here year-round. I have been adjusting the exp frequently to get it to be just right, and my last adjustment wasn't necessarily the last one.
It's usually better to contact me privately and simply ask me about things, rather than ranting and raving about it instantly. I don't think anyone even took the time to contact me about it?
Don't blame people for getting 'bows' removed from the crypt. If it really was as easy as simply "make it so you can't steal" then I would have. But because I have to get Stefan to add new scripting functions to the MUDLIB, which I cannot do instantly, I have to make quick-fixes like this. This was a glitch that needed to be fixed instantly because I have to worry about people exploiting it.
I'm pretty disappointed with quite a few people as a result of this mishap, I've lost some respect with a few people. Chances are if you planned to exploit this bug, I know about it and I am disappointed with you. You guys are supposed to be my team, helping me forge GK in to something you want to play. We're all friends here, let's face it. We've been playing with each other for years, even if we all don't get along all the time, we're still friends. We're a community.
GK's community is one of the best communities on Graal. We have mature people, anti-scammers, not too many hacking problems and a nice atmosphere. Sometimes people lose sight of what's really important when they've been confronted with something they're not used to having, and as a result it sometimes gets taken away.
I'm working on balancing GK, not making some easy level-110-in-a-day server.

I will continue to take heat for making this thread and i believe people should post their personal responses to how they feel about the EXP, we will be heard and thanks everyone! |
