Okay, so sorry again for not having this information ready for you earlier, but as I said in my previous post, we had to deal with DDoS attacks in the last days. We have now discussed and finalized the terms of transfers and new rates.
The new rates will be:
Code:
1-7 40x
8-24 35x
25-49 30x
50-59 25x
60-69 20x
70-79 18x
80-89 16x
90-99 14x
100-109 12x
110-119 10x
120-129 9x
130-139 8x
140-149 7x
150-159 6x
160-169 5x
170-179 4x
180-199 3x
200-399 2x
400+ 1x
We have adjusted them slightly after your feedback, since some of you thought it would be pointless to hunt on 1x experience, you will be able to hunt with 2x until level 400 instead. We have seen the suggestions about last rate being something like 1.5x too, but our server engine doesn't support rates with decimal points that at the moment and implementing and testing it requires time which we don't want to delay the changes with. It should also be worth noting that even after recalculating experience with 1x rate all the way from level 1 and 35% of everyones experience removed, Fatima is still above level 400, so it is very hard to push all players closer to the 130-170 level range in a fair way. This means that a lot of players will be way above that still, but after the changes it will be much harder for these players to stay at their level or advance further because of lower rates and significant reduce in shared experience bonus in party.
We will continue to listen to your feedback, and possibly continue to decrease experience by percentages if many of you feel that it is necessary (but try it and provide feedback after our first iteration of changes, please).
This is the information we can provide you about transfers for now, note that transfers will be enabled at the same time as the levels are been recalculated, so you will not be able to transfer with your current level:
Code:
Transfer your character to ShadowCores
ShadowCores is our RPG/Normal PVP server which is designed for casual players. It has higher experience, skill and magic level rates, and also higher mana regeneration for mages. Unfair Fight Reduction is only applied to deaths in guild wars.
Transfering your character costs 60 shop coins.
* Your e-mail address must match the e-mail address registered to the ShadowCores account.
* Your level and experience will not be affected by the transfer, you will have the same level on ShadowCores.
* Your magic level and skills will be increased to the level you would have had with the rates on ShadowCores.
* You will keep all your items (inventory, depot and inbox). Note that the item Ferumbras' hat can not be transfered.
* You will keep your quest history.
* You will lose your market history.
* Your death list will be cleared.
You can not transfer a character that...
* is online
* owns a house
* is a leader of a guild
* has active market offers
* has a Ferumbras' hat in inventory, depot or inbox
Don't forget to tell your friends to uninvite you from their house when you transfer your character, once you have transferred, your LunarForce character name will become available for new character registration. An option is also to create a new character with the name of the character you transferred.
Transfers from ShadowCores to LunarForce will be changed so that the level of the player who transfers is recalculated according to new LunarForce rates and 35% exp reduction since we are decreasing the shared experience bonus in party.
We are currently writing the code for these changes, but if you have something to say about the changes, please comment. We still read what you post in this thread and value your input. We expect the changes to be ready by Tuesday.
