I'll just post this here, seems like a good location.
I just wanna grumble for a few minuets. I was just in EFU and was haveing a grand time on level 12!! Luring opponents to fight them 1 at a time, using strategy, ect... when 2 uber munchkins came in, started tearing up level 12 and killing everything thing in site. They came to where I was, killed everything off, then took out the shadow dragon in just a few hits.
Ugh. Z, I am really starting to lean towards Server Vault characters. Its getting tireing having Level 40 characters pop in with their custom made level 40 items and doing hundreds of points of damage, never missing, and never getting hit while having every immunity there is.


I think I'm going to have to side with him on this. I had the same thing happen more than once and it takes all the fun out of EfU every time these A-Holes deside to come running through and totally ruin your whole game experience just so they can make a mockery of all your hard work and then in the end the server crashes. It really sucks after you spend hours playing with a legal PC and then all of a sudden Godzilla stomps on your cake and eats it then they run off to terrize some other server.

one other way to keep out the Umbers that jump from sever to server is to Password protect the EfU Game site if you would try this first it may help keep out so many game crashers.

I am with you on this. If it comes down to having a game ruined because of these twirps...let's stop them using the most secure method. We want to have FUN in the game...not watch these freakers gloat over us.

Thanks Crimson for directing my post here. I wasnt really sure where to post what I said, or even if it was appropriate. I was just annoyed.

Im definetly in favor of password protection over Server Vault... but at this point I just want to play the game with good players.

Ok. Let's make it server vault then. I think a few others were much in favour of that. I like playing my custom characters (not ubered of course) but not at the expense of a well-played game with others. I like the whole role playing aspect of building up your character too... kinda like the ol' days of PnP.

I do have one comment however... the day it goes server vault, we're gonna need Z to update all the level encounters back to "normal" so that it makes sense for the level of characters we'll be starting with. Else... I don't envision myself getting any further than the 2nd level (right about where you fight bone golems) and doing the funky chicken along the way.

What say you all?

Ehrys,
It might be easier, yet kinda hokey to have a leveler in the tavern. A place to go and level to level 8 or level 10 maximum or something like that. Decision of course is up the creator but it seems easier than reducing all the monsters.

Just a thought

Whoa-Ho, Comrade! Server Vaults are a pain in the arse. First a Server Vault, next thing you know, XP/Gold Penalties!
