Here.. Everyone starts maxed out on everything and you use EP to lower you skill to be unique.

BAM fixed everything.

  Brilliant!  You better capitalize on this idea quick before someone else does!

This is an excellent idea but I believe it would be better if you lost ext randomly whenever you use a skill or type in the chat window. It would keep the game a challenge and in the end people will appreciate it.

Re: 2 EP/min instead of 1

I was thinking 1 EP/min when subscribed to the game and 10 EP/min when not subscribed. It would be great for the health of the company and the game!

Re: 2 EP/min instead of 1

In my opinion, the best thing to do with EP is, every month, increase it by .05 or so per minute. When you do an increase like that, in closes the gap between newer and older players faster. I don't think there needs to be any drastic immediate increase to 2 EP, which is pretty ridiculous tongue

Re: 2 EP/min instead of 1

actually, the "gap" fills in naturally after certain time

all extensions are capped at lvl10, and it doesnt take to long to get them to lvl8, depending on the complexity.

the advantage of older player is mostly that they can use a higher variety of builds.

So, they say it will take 25 years to learn all the skills in the game, with that in mind, 1 EP a minute suddenly doesn't seem enough. sad

The game was not designed to learn all skills, you have to specialize. Just like in real life you won't get to see a scientist commando economist.

Yep, true. But then why allow multiboxing? A player then becomes a scientist commando economist. But that's probably for another discussion.

Agreed, but obviously multiboxers offer a lot of income tongue

What we really need is an item shop where you could buy an implant for 500$ that would allow you to gain 2 EP a minute. Would be awesome.

this fellow must have money to burn.  I'll never play a game that takes money beyond a monthly charge to succeed.  Good god..that's not even a game anymore..it's a disposable income contest.

That is what is happening in a lot of games with in game stores, such as LOTRO, DDO, and others, sadly.

Technically that's multiple players.

Multiple characters, toons, AV's, etc. but not separate players, there is one player behind the two three, or how many ever clients are logged in tongue

Multiple accounts, definitely. Multiple players? No way. Multiboxing is one person playing a game with multiple accounts at the same time.

There is no technicality about it.

Wow, you guys are dim. Do you really think Gargai thinks its not one person? He was merely pointing out that to the game, there is no difference between two people on two accounts, and one person on two accounts.

I disagree with the 2 ep/min idea but I think it couldn't hurt the Devs to consider Holiday or special weekend events where you get double or more ep than usual.

I prefer the slow, inevitable, glacial crawl of 1 EP / min permanently.

At first I was a bit worried to see on my char planner that it'll take me 2 years to complete my template. But then I started playing and I must say Perpetuum Online is the first MMO that I'm fully enjoying right at the begining thanks to the inexistent grind. You don't really need mad extensions to actually be useful in PvE/PvP + the starting EPs are quite sufficient to get you started.

I won't be concerned until I am waiting a week between extension increases, which seems a way off yet.
