I disagree with everyone in the buying remorts or buying exp department. I understand that everyone has excess gold laying around, but I think that the goal of JediMUD is to make sick characters. I think it's silly to have to purchase them. That kinda takes the fun out of it, doesn't it? I think it would be enough to change the remort policy to a point that it didn't suck and maybe implement something that would make gold worth something again. Maybe some sick mantra type quests that are ingame?

not sure why maranta is taking exception to my post above, as i am basically agreeing with his posts that the remort exp percentage biasing is ridiculous and should be abandoned completely, regardless of the methodology whereby we acquire xp.
seriously, have you ever been quaking for xp? it's like huffing airplane glue or watching mitochondrion move around the endoplasmic reticulum... in short nobody wants to do this unbearably boring exercise except that NOBODY plays the f'ing game and so it's a little difficult to group with the other four rangers that are pet swaming loading mobs.
BULLpoop. (and trust me, i didn't use the term 'poop'). dump the filters and let xp be xp, regardless of remort.
as far as cunanan's post goes, consider this: NOBODY will have enough cash to purchase more than a few, if not a single remort, unless you are some bizzaro player, like arizhel, who seems to have billions in gold somehow lying about. who cares anyway? she's got 100 characters, as do the rest of you bizarro nerd balls who slack your lives away dumping time into text muds.
i'm talking about the few, the proud, the gainfully employed that occasionally hang out to bug the crap out of the former and derive some (if not every ounce) of pleasure from it.
jeebus.
i need to punch a brick or bite a tire or something.

lol ease off the caffeine there, Dank. Yes you did agree with the exp formula being unbalanced but you were the one who suggested it be removed entirely. Could it work? Sure, without any doubt in my mind but it comes with a drawback. Everyone will be remorting so fast, sac gear will become scarce and camped. If however a different dowry was used like in the old days it would eliminate the abundance of gold, be very similar to 'buying' a remort and prevent sac camping. Do I think it has the slightest chance in hell of being approved by the current administration? Nope. I'd love to see the old dowry system back instead of this current 'challenge' to slow down as many people as possible and keep them mortal.
Oh and for your information, I have played a cleric of every alignment and not just for a remort or two. I got bored but not from quaking, instead it was how insanely overpowered they are that it presented no challenge whatsoever. So the clerics that wanna quake can and will as there are plenty enough already, whether you see them or not.

(1) remove non-caster remort penalties and reduce caster remort penalties. ok, i never said remove remort penalties for casters, which is the class set that you and i both agree are already overpowered. look, there are plenty of sac items, and let's face it, the mud will NEVER get so crowded so a to prevent every addled text twit from having their own collective field days collecting it. this is a big economy and we really have scratched the surface. hell, things were fine back in the old days of 100+ players per session. Lack of SAC eq was the least of our worries. this is moot anyway. nobody reads this poop except you and me. and maybe cunanan and he doesn't really comprehend this poop anyway and i just want to see how many times i can get the filter parser to replace poop in my diatribe of intellectual poophead joy. poop!

not sure why maranta is taking exception to my post above, as i am basically agreeing with his posts that the remort exp percentage biasing is ridiculous and should be abandoned completely[/b][/u], regardless of the methodology whereby we acquire xp.[/quote] Oh come now, we know the population better than that. Some enterprizing ass is gonna scoop up all the 20+ items and keep them in their urn so no one can load any while they're running gold. Yeah theres more than enough elsewhere to pile up 600 but no one bothers to explore anymore, they all want handouts. Some are DT magnets and refuse to take care while exploring and the others are simply lazy. lol lets not forget those who swipe donated sac and store it in the game *cough*moonlight's house*cough*despite rent being uhhh free. But you're right, it is moot. A few players will read it, admins won't unless someone mentions their name and openly takes a shot on them. Usually they just delete it and pretend it never existed like most imm board posts. Oh wait that was before half the immortal staff quit, silly me.

rofl. damn that maranta mother fooper! he's funny. maybe funnier than i. back off the funny button, brother. that's mine!
yeah, i actually make it a point to log in and check this board because i know, for a fact, that something will tickle my tiny funny bone which is located somewhere inside the vacuum that is my brain after playing some ten thousand hours of jediMUD and completeing other associated equipment database tasks, writing hundreds of related board postings, emailing said eq dbs to noobs and vets alike, debugging my fooped up triggers, building more fooped up triggers in the first place, painting my character's name on my fingernails and toenails, having more kids with random women in order to secretly name them after my mud characters, getting tattoos on my body that are actually secret treasure maps to my favorite mud zones, creating three-dimensional representations of midgaard so that i can examine the temple from every aspect depending on my mood, sorting through the dozens of email messages i get from my devoted fan base, coming up with more jaunty and rakish titles, and other stuff.
my life in jediMUD. like those ridiculous american express ads.
anyway, back to the thread:
THE SIMPLE FORMULA:
1. if (dank's isp) {xp = 2(xp)}

Wow. I think its safe to say right now that Dank wins the most obsessive and dedicated Jedi Mudder award for 2006(at the least!)
As for me, I shall go back to my artistic renderings of how utterly insane half the players look in our multicolored clothing, carrying huge swords in the same off hands as shields and our dangling bone jewelry.
