After almost a year, we are thinking of resetting Purg. I have been working a lot of hours, and I wasn't able to help Amber out with the edits. She's been doing a great job by herself, but some of her things are unbalanced and need fixing up. If anyone wants to download the latest dat file that was put up on the Purg website, I would greatly appreciate any help and any suggestions anyone has. I am going to look at all the new weapons, armor, monsters, everything and put Purgatory back to a balanced Mud. Not saying anything bad about Amber, she was doing the best she could by herself. Its just something new for her, but I have been editting for years. sometimes she doesn't understand how the settings work.
One of the things that I don't like is the new class Navigator :wallbang: ...YUCK. I never wanted a Mud where areas were removed from the game using teleports. I think that makes it unbalanced for certain players to be able to "zap" from one area to the next. I do not like removing whole areas from the game, and that's what happens when you add teleports to the game. For example, when you reach Purgatory, I put a lot of work into having more and more monsters regen when you get to the gates. This was part of the game, and it doesn't get used. So we will be getting rid of the Navigators :flush: .
Please bear with us, and we hope we get back to a balanced game and more people feel free to play.
We are resetting because some people were able to use some of Amber's mistakes to gain EXP and cash way too fast, making the game WAY unbalanced. We don't want to upset any of our players, and we hope everybody will be happy with the new Purg. After almost a year, we feel it is time to start over, so it will be back to the balanced game it started out as.
So please help me out by downloading the dat file and helping me out.
Thanx

The ones that made all the levels and cash to fast dont play there anymore. Make whatever changes your going to do but dont take it out on the loyal players that have been there since you first put it up. Even with the navagator i still go through the other areas. Always have. Always will. Oh if you take the cash you might want to lower the price of armour and things since she raised them to balance all the cash. :cross: That you dont run off the loyal players you have.

Your supposed fix has already shown it will still be unbalanced. Guess we have to find another board. It was fun Amber till Lodin NOT Amber messed it up.

Sorry your not happy, make me a list on how YOU want it to make it best for you.
As for the fix, it was a quick fix to make Mystics not be invincible anymore. It wasn't meant to make the entire game perfect again. It will take me some time to get everything the way it should be for a balanced game. Thats why I asked you, and anyone else who wants to help, for help in checking the dat file.
You are complaining that you don't want a reset, well if you are leaving anyway, that makes my decision VERY easy.

Mystics were not invincible to begin with. Ask Amber how often I have died trying to get my gear back. I had to train so I wouldnt reroll. And as to leaving I dont want to. I like purg but if you pussyfy mytics to the point they are now there is no purpose to play there. I did more damage before I got that spell than I do now after you changed whatever you changed.

If you did more damage before you got the spell, then YOU changed something on your character. I say this because the ONLY change I made today was to change the +50 to combat and stuff attached to the spell to +5, as it should have been. So if you are not getting as much before you got the spell then you need to look into what else you have changed.
If Amber gets a chance I will have her put up another dat file so you can see the change, not changes, that were made.

Its ambers mud is it not? I would think she should have the final say on all this tom foolery. I know amber from lunar and know her to be intelligent. Why not educate her as opposed to "fixing" things?

It is Ambers Mud but Lodin is a Tyrant so if he dont like it he puts it in the garbage.

For clarification purposes, The WG license I bought, The Major Mud license I bought, (and before you ask YES I am a legal owner editing what Metro doesn't know how to do) The original, 90% of the editing was done by me with equal input from Amber. So if you like the way the bbs is, thank both of us. As for being a tyrant, I am not a tyrant, I just like a balanced game. As far as the reset, to tell the truth Amber is the one that suggested it and I agreed with her.
She is my wife and my partner in creating Purgatory. We have always done this together and we will continue to do so.
We didn't do this to cause hurt feelings or upset anyone, we did this because a person said that combat fury was overpowered. So Amber asked me to look at it and I told her that it was WAY over powered. So she suggested I go through the dats and see what else is messed up. Then when I told her I didn't like Navigators because they remove entire areas of the game, she agreed and suggested fixing everything she goofed on and resetting.
The reset is still not a definate thing, we will weigh all the options and maybe put up a poll to get everyones input. I want this to be a fun game for EVERYONE. I don't want it to be like so-and-so's bbs where he put in a light saber that instant kills the badest new boss that gives you 75,000,000 and is instant regen. Thats what makes it good, its different. It will continue to be different and hopefully after everthing is balanced out it will be better.
As for those that have been playing for the last year, thank you, and be prepared. If there is no reset, you may get a little upset with the changes that may make things a little harder on you. You may not get 65 mill an hour or whatever, but the game will last longer.
As for those that want to check it out when done, Amber or I will post in here when it is ready.

Lunar Runs combat fury, you just need to tone it down a bit like we did, and in the end it all works out great because the rest of our classes all keep up with each other so nobody has a "god class".
