And is it not also a server rule not to metagame? or am I just delusional here To haras, i thank you for clarifying what you wanted to say, I can understand what you are trying to say on how to apply the ooc information that you optained in a rp fashion.

Hellblazer - 11/17/2006 1:53 AM Personaly, and I dont think I am the only one, I would rather see stricter results for those who are doing the powerleveling, than seing the community punished. For someone who only hangs out with the same people, that are teh same levels they are, its no biggy. But for those, Myself included, who have a wide range of people which I hang around with, some are low levels, some are High, this pauses a problem. Even more so, when it could affect the team work we have.
Hellblazer - 11/17/2006 10:01 AM Sorry dmoe, you probably posted your post while i was editing it. We do not take someone ( from the guild) that is not strong enought to a place he should not be. IE, we would not take out a level 7 char to the iron hills. Mainly due to the rp of us putting his/ her life in danger. When I say that we gather up together with the low levels, i mean on minstone. places that they could get mostly by themselves. And our lowest level being 9, that brings up a few places on minstone they could reach by themselves (teaming up with the other people close to their levels) P.s. it may be a bad tendency, but i have the tendncy of adding things to an existing post rather than post multiple times small post.
...generally a bit of common sense as to higher and lower lvls traveling together goes a long way...
Pen N Popper - 11/17/2006 8:14 AM Joe, a level one fighter, asks Sue, a 20th level cleric to help him down the crypts. Sue agrees... Scenario 1 Joe and Sue make all haste through the crypt, she smiting and turning the undead, Joe gathering gold and knuckles and scant XP (due to level difference). Upon returning to the surface, Joe asks Sue about the next quest and they depart. Scenario 2 Joe attempts to make all haste through the crypts but Sue walks in detect mode. In the first encounter Joe gets into trouble, Sue saves him. She then points out some tactics he should use, blesses his weapon perhaps, and chatters on about her deity. Sue managed to turn what would have been a 15 minute haste quest into an hour long RP event. Upon returning to the surface, Sue declines the offer to go onto the next quest. After the trip, which experience do you think Joe would write about in his journal? It's really not complicated or difficult to understand. Just try to keep the spirit of the server. With the large number of level 20 and above PCs, there is certainly going to be interaction with lower levels. As the high level player, you have the chance to set the tone for the trip. With great power, comes great responsibility.
