Also, possibly give a choice to the winner to choose from AC, XP, or an item based on the character class they used or something? Having more varying reqards would prolly attract more players. I think currently alot of people would just pay the $2.50 compared to having to grind levels for a week.

Also, since weekly is only xp based, possibly make it based on xp plus other contingencies? For example, have 3x gold on the character at end count towards weekly total score. OR have different equipped items give different point bonuses towards total score. It shouldn't just be based on boring old grinding, IMHO. When someone finds something truly nice (arty for example) it is kinda sad they have to give it up at the end of the week, plus it means absolutely nothing whatsoever. What about skills? If someone were to do gathering/crafting, shouldn't that count towards final score also? Really easy for a mage to just get 89 sorcery and blitz through the grind to win.

The ability to bring one item over from weekly ladder in place of the usual addy coin does sound nice, but from what I hear the items on the ladder are over powered. Perhaps if Egg has the option to veto any choice of item if it's too powerful?

thats a good idea to, i found some nightstalker legs grinding on weekly which really isnt all that special. But if it had been a mage/warrior/rouge band i may have just given up euo alltogether after hunting for them for so long on reg. That truly would have pissed me off LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON

That entrance isnt there anymore; have to get to the underworld via the level dungeons.

Update
New rule:
If no winner is declared at the ender of the week then the server will not be wiped and play can continue until next Monday!

(edit: haven't tested it properly so lets hope it works LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON)

Rule update:
min req is 3 players @ lvl15+ for a winner (down from lvl 30, even though it said lvl 50 in the OP)

hopefully that will declare a winner this week, finally!

After that I'm turning LOTL off as soon as I remember.

I think the scoreboard is still reading for LOTL chars only, Got a level 44 and im not on it D:


Also, Maybe be given the option to play as lotl or not, And if you win as lotl, Instead of 25 coins, Get 30? Or get the 25 for lotl, And 20 for being non-lotl? Something to mix it up even more!

yeh not a bad idea actually, better prize for winning as lotl
but that would be hard work considering quest xp is rather high relatively

If its over a week, Then the weekly should cut down to 2 level 40+. And if 2 weeks have passed, Then 1 level 75+ can win perchaps? A way to get winners or something since its normally 1-2 people that get over level 20.

It seems that weekly hasn't been wiped even though there is a winner?

Found the prob,
awards script was broken so the winner didn't his coins either - and the server wasn't wiped.

Both now corrected.

Hello.
Does the winning character / others move to PD server or do they get completely wiped? -nevermind
Also, is remort on? I'm not level 75, but the command says it's toggled off. -nevermind also, since few people play weekly ladder and the competition isn't tough, so I have to try /remort if I ever need to get lvl 75 in weekly pd

Thanks eggmceye, I love how this game has evolved. I even got my elder brother to try it. The graphics and options are great plus the game is more newbie friendly. I first tried to play with the "old music", but I gave the new music a chance. Very psychedelic and "spacy", goes nicely with the game's atmosphere.

Somehow I find myself coming back to this game after all that time :roll:

PS. Nice avatar eggmceye, it's best so far methinks

Much love from Finland,
Luxorious

EDIT: The weekly PD scoreboard says: Weekly Ladder Updated January 01 1970 10:00:00.

I tried doing the /remort command when I reached lvl 75 and it does not work.
Can it be turned on just for the LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON'ZORS?
