Stock classes are fine. New classes have 5% less encum then the dwarf class.



They are amazingly high experience classes... and will be raised an extra 10-20% next update. They are already (without the raise) up to 295% with the priest class.. Your going to be leveling quite slow to make up for what you can do in later levels. Yes... they have more abilities then other classes, but their high experience tables will make up for it.



We're still testing them out to see how they will do and getting feedback from the users.. things will be changed on them in the future. You can only learn/know so much by testing them out with 2 people on a test server.



I have this thread to post news for The Boink Machine bbs, so its users can come and look at the updates...Instead of posting on my news thread how about you talk to me on the bbs, or I will have this thread closed.

Stock classes exp tables will not be raised for the time being. Currently they are not able to do alignment quests beyond 2nd.



New areas in the works:

Granite caverns - level 100+

Crystalline temple - level 50+

Solomen's Mine's - level 50+

half-orc fortess - level 30+



Keep sending editing ideas to Boinkedits@hotmail.com and we'll keep the areas popping out :-)



Props to co-sysop Grey for doing hard work on getting areas in for their deadlines :wordup:



Thank you to MistWeaver and Wulfgar, our mud operating staff for doing such a splendid job welcome new players and watching over the realm through my busy schedule. :wordup:

Because you did not post info on the new classes. I did, for your users, and to get the explination you supplied. Again, mud NEWS, for your users. Not all care to download software, then a dat file, you use this as your web page to inform, 3 new classes so buff is a big deal and needs better explained than just listing class names *shrug* Lastly, I don't play your mud to see and talk to you there, sorry.

I don't know if you play on Boink right now or not, but users who want information on the game are free to download the mmexplore file. We will post any information we feel relevant for them to know publicly on here.



Please stop posting in the thread... If there is something you want my users to know, let them know either on the board, or on a different thread. Thanks!

Why were the "god" classes reduced in EXP charts? If anything they should be raised then raised some more. They are insane and at higher levels will decimate any normal class that people might be playing. Unless something was removed from these classes that I dont know about I think they should be raised not lowered.



Just my 2 cents

Re: "god" classes



The new classes that were put in are no different from a paladin/cleric. Unlike paladins/clerics that can only wear scalemail (not plate armour), their combat is only 3 (unlike paladins 4), their exp tables have been raised to adjust for the extra bonuses. Currently they can sneak, picklocks, and track. There were other bonuses on them at the beginning of their release, but have since then been removed.



Stop dubbing them "god" classes... If you don't enjoy the fact they are in the game, then don't play on Boink Machine.

Last night Boink ran into a critical error when the power went out. Board came back up and the entire wccuser2 database was corrupted. Threw in my backup from a couple of days ago and it didn't fix anything besides making the board crash 3-4 minutes after it went up.



As for now, Boink will be down indefinitely until we can either find someone who can help us fix the wccuser database, or see if people are in favor of a reset.



As for now... you can reach the owner of this 'unbalanced' 'god-classes' board via AIM @ designed4hym2u



Catch you on the Boink side,

still tho



class stealth (means they can get perfect stealth) with scalemail = overpowered
