when iron man comes out could we have a double xp for them as a little boost for the first 3 days?

If the account has less than 1 hour ::timeplayed (1 hour because that's for how much time you have the new player's protection) and the account gets reseted, I don't see why not.

Since when was the new player protection changed to 1 hour? It used to be 30 minutes.


Secondly, like ben stated, defeats the purpose of ironman. Ironman is to start a fresh, BRAND NEW, account.
No minimal exp, time played, nothing. You're unlucky if you can't have the name you want, new players run into this daily when they try to use their IRL names, or name of their favorite band half the time, oh well.




My main concern for ironman, since I haven't seen nor really looked for the info regarding it, is how does pvming go in multi areas on a very populated, yet minimal server as this. How does one kill kbd if another person who isn't a ironman can do 1 damage and take the entire kill.

I'm hoping to wrap up the first release of Ironman sometime at the end of this week, but no promises. At least it's still making progress, I'll keep you folks informed how it goes.

mike do u mean on the main server or test server
?????

I'm hoping it's all instanced PVM for Ironmen, with the exception of anything in the Wilderness. In that scenario, although Ironmen DO have to do 100% of the damage for them to get the drop, other players should have to do at least 50% of the damage to get it instead, so that they can't just tag a boss for free loot.

You mean introduce an ironman status ticket that mimics how the honor status tickets act?

That sounds perf!

Or just make a new fucking account. Jesus what is with yall and insisting on having an account that isn't specifically made for ironman being turned into an ironman.

You cannot convert non-ironman accounts to ironman accounts, no matter how much timeplayed it has. You can only choose to create an ironman account during account creation, not afterwards. Even if you played for only a few minutes, you could have donated or obtained wealth in some ways that ironman players otherwise couldn't do.

That's correct, when ironman mode players go to a multi-combat boss area (GWD rooms, corp beast, KBD, you name it), they'll get a room just for themselves so other people can't interfere with it. However, these may not be a part of the first ironman mode release, considering that'll still take me some time to develop. At first, we'll be focusing on everything they can't do, as well as providing at least one way to obtain donator and premium status. Then we can look into ways of making it posslbly for ironman mode players to obtain items they can't otherwise get.

Good to see the pest control events. Helps new players get void quick.

i think she means : can you 'reset' an account with less then x amount of timeplayed to an ironman account, ( i assume you would do this just because you have an account with a name you want to use for your ironman)
so in other words : can you give us the option to 'clean' your account bank and skills/stats and eventually give the option to create it an ironman.

Still waiting for iron man mode
