Big Changes On the Way

It seems as if vult is keeping is cards very close to his chest at the moment, not even a hint was given about these updates, and yet here we stand, 5 days later and fully impressed with the startling manner in which both adminship and the game have advanced so quickly, but it seems as if Vult and his 4 man team have more up their sleeves, lets assess the options then shall we?

1. Complete Wipe - Seems more unlikely then 2...

2. Item And Stats Wipe - Yeh this is were i will do most of the discussion about a wipe. Depending no the time of week my opinion on a wipe seems to alter, some days i think "yeh that'd be great and fair! Giving everyone the same chance would rock and goodbye to all dupes!" and then on other days i think "i don't want to loose my stuff" but in reality what we're looking at is a good idea smeared with bad results. Think, if Vult were to wipe and everyone became lvl 0, the first thing to happen would be that all the speeders start owning, correct? They'll be taking all the drops, all the kills, all the chests, everything. Second, all the non-speeders will now have to start speeding in order to keep up. And the final result is a large speeding game in which vult may aswell of just turned up the game speed to "OH WOW" himself to save everyone the trouble, and a very small minority sitting in the corner wearing burk clothes, attacking wolf-men with spears and complaining about "them darn cheaters" (i would probably be the leader of this group). So as you can see this idea has more holes than swiss cheese, however, introduce a working anti-speed (which vult has talked about) in to the equation, and this idea suddenly becomes very interesting.

3. Speed Fix - This one really needs to be done fast (no pun intended). Those of you with memories will recall around the new year vult created a hell event in aeven and also created an anti-speed, but alas this didn't work, it was littered with bugs, causing incorrect bannings and d/cing every where which led to him removing it. Thing is, if he could actually get a proper one up a running this not only becomes a decent idea but a game-saving one at that.

4. All unlore costumes get deleted / turn in to useless items - This is the harshest option, but somehow it seems a possibility. I myself have been informed by a friend - Ducci and other costumes-cled people that this apparently could happen soon. This obviously would get rid of all duped costumes and lower the economy, but at the same time it is punishing people that earnt or bought these items properly and are now having them snatched away (some unlore costumes still exsist form the old days). I don't think this should or will happen but it could and it would be a massive mistake.

5. New Version - I know what people are thinking, new updates could mean a new version right? Well your wrong, sorry, but i still refuse to swallow my pride and accept that a new version is a distinct possibility, because as far as i'm aware, 2 updates in as many years just isn't "updating" form, i mean sure what they've given us has been great, but a new version is a lot more than a few new rooms and monsters, i'd like to think this could happen, but it still seems a way off.

6. Light Guides - This is another which has been going around a while, but recently someone has fanned the flames and people are starting to accept that light guides could be just around the corner. I mean think about it, it would solve speeding / scamming problems if the people chosen are honest enough, and it could mean arvid and vult can spend more time in development and less time in the jail. But this is where the problems originate, because if you pick the wrong people you're done for and in a worse situation then you were before. However, I know i'd certainly be up for the challenge ;D.

Well that's all i can think of for now, i hope you've formed your own opinions from this because what happens to eo depends on what the people want, do soemthing wrong and people won't play, do soemthing right and the admins become gods, let me know what you think and post a comment.

Thanks.
