Very Very Very Random Suggestion..

Who thinks it would be cool if they raised exp x10 for the Closed Beta so even the people who cant play a-lot during the Closed Beta period can still obtain a high level to try out some of the new stuff they add.

It's going to be reset for Open Beta anyways.. So why not? I don't see a big deal to it.

Or maybe even have 2 servers for Closed Beta. One server has the higher rates and the other lower. I don't know.. Just some ideas.

    It is an interesting idea, it would allow for better testing of end-game content but it would also speed up the lower levels. Then again, there will be a LOT of lower levels and not everyone is dedicated to reaching higher levels. I'm undecided on this.

    I think it would be a good idea and a chance for everyone, even the people who can't play a whole lot to test out more of the new content then they would have been able to in the first place.

    It's not like it would be an INSANE amount higher then normal, just 10x or maybe even more depending on what the Admins think.

    I think its a good idea, too , like that players will lose less time, and could test more of the game.
    But be reminded that its a quest based game so exp inscreasd sould be add to quests rewards ^^.

    Hello seb,

    We've got some nice beta events planned for you guys, no worries. ;)

    With regard to the version and exp/gold rates, you'll have to wait and see. :)

    If the EXP rates are raised (and this is not "very very random", most closed betas DO raise the exp rates, Rohan for example) then it shouldn't be more than 5x. A casual gamer on a 5x can get to level 60 within the closed beta period no problem, and most of the essential testing is early game... For now.

    How about this: they could have two servers for CB, one having Exp x10 and the other having the standard Exp rate.

    Great idea. It would allow people to see more of the game in a shorter amount of time. xD I'm SO looking forward to this game!!

    If the rates were increased, even x2, people would grind to lvl instead of questing. The CB is done in order to look for bugs, quests may be mistranslated. Think of that.

    Make the quests have x2 too?

    That would make people lvl much faster, thus many quests wouldn't be tested.

    Meh. Well, I still support one server with enhanced rates, and one without. This way, we can test endgame stuff as well as the lower stuff.

    I'd be quite happy to test out the 6th rank military weapons :D

    The reason they would have 2 servers with one having high exp and one with regular exp would be to have one to test out end game stuff and the other to test out questing and low level stuff.

    I think the idea has a chance.

    Rank 8 and Orange hh are already known. The stats on the 6th rank sword/axe/fist/spear/bow are still unknown though...

    It would split the community but since the goal is to test, I support this idea as of now.

    Well, Oracle and Delphi were split too. It was quite interesting to have both, actually. I played on Delphi at times to see what it was like.

    Well I'm not saying keep it at a two server split, just for the Closed Beta.

    I agree.
    It's a CB so a 5-100x exp would be good for me :)

    Better yet, just choose the level you want to be, and be able to spawn items (including item mall items, with the exception of trumpets).

    betas - open or closed - are for real-world scenario testing.

    allowing such requests wouldn't be a true test of the natural progression of things.

    thanks :)
