Excellent point! My incredible modesty helps.

as always, we'll see how it will work out. give us feedback.

In my vision, we'll let players box a bit more than 3, but we'll limit bots to 1 per ip.

and as always, feel free to group others, make new friends, have a party with other guildies.. I would like to see Evolution and Help Desk mixed groups! <3

im sorry for everyone drastically effected out there, however i believe a 3 box limit is suitable as it really promotes people to group together instead of just 6-8boxing around and not interacting with anyone else. as far as excluded classes hrmm i dont think there would be any as not everyone goes for a "best soloist" getup.... yeah yeah i know i have a tank/shaman however if i went for best i would be a war/shm not SK/shm. back on topic, the GMs have been very understanding by allowing families who share IPs to expand further and if i recall correctly awhile back the server had a 3box limit no? so rather than adding a new limit it is just reverting back to what it was.

*note* for you 6boxers you still have the advantage of versatility, being able to swap classes when needed.

With 3 players per ip you can go

war - cle - shm and 3 wiz bots or whatever. Thats alot of fire power for a single player.

What i'd prefer even more is to disable bots in general. Box all you want, i hate Bots though.
They only cause Bugs, crashes and eleminate alot of content design.

For now we made the limit to 3 Player per IP.

I was always fan of 1 player = 1 character
I never understood how its fair when 1 person can solo a raid content just cause he is box-master
I do like bots however, they not much diffirent from official SOE mercenaries.
Idealy i would propose that they would have to be purchased, and you cannot have more than 1 one stored at any time.
So you would start with 1 free bot of your choice at lev 1, and at any time you want to summon a diffirent bot you have to pay 1k*bot level, and your previous bot will be deleted.

I think we should turn off the bots for a while and see how the server goes without them. They are an attractive incentive to playing here, and while this is fun for solo play, I do think they are hindering our groups. I recall when it was more fun to have someone show you the ropes, taking you deep into the darkest dungeons and pulling tons of mobs for you to help kill and collect all the fat booty. Newbies always had a friend. As well, from reading the forums here, we're a pretty tight-knit community, and I don't see how anyone coming here would have a problem finding a group.

[Lillu]

I 100% agree with you Arremis. However we turned down bots for 1 day before, and we got so much drama, I rather want to forget about that day.. It was a more intense drama than anything else so far..

[catthib]

No. By turning bots off altogether you would be absolutely killing the fun for people who have limited playtime, particularly around the holidays, because some of us may not have time to find a group, particularly if we are not guilded.

Some of us can't afford to donate for the Donator Weapons. But thats just the way things are. But we have our bots. Granted its one bot per group but hey, at least we have that much to help us as we struggle to accomplish SOMETHING ingame on any given day.

Don't get me started on why I think removing bots would be a Very Bad Thing. I also think it would be an Even Worse Thing to make bots donator-only, should someone think of that.
