Right, so I made a spreadsheet which shows the SP needed to max skills in C2.

It's a little confusing, but I did rush it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... n_GB#gid=0

tl;dr
C2 LEVEL TOTAL: 590
C1 LEVEL TOTAL: 294
LEVEL DIFFERENCE: 296

with that much lvl difference and such a rift between c1 chars and c2, i doubt the new players that c2 would attract would stay for long once they see how much of a disadvantage they are at. And if it is decided to wipe all c1 chars imo a fair amount of ppl would just quit.
i know i would, after all the time i've sank into this game, if it was just wiped i would not be willing to start over.

with the c2 style of xp, theres at least a chance that ppl dont skip big parts of content...

The new experience system is half of what we get. This means it's effectively 4x more levelling required.

YAY MORE MF REAVER DGs!

590 levels in C2 is equal to 1180 levels in C1 Exp wise, that is.

590 lvls is more then 1k MF reavers, the new players are going to be sooo happy, I should level all of my alts this uni while I still get normal sp.

Heh.

Pretty much this.

If anything, it'll attract newbies more, because you don't have people power lvling their alts to a few hundred and using their resources to max their core skills - very easy at the moment whilst newbies fending for themselves take weeks and months of hard work.

As it stands, SS is stagnant and uncompetitive. It's all too easy for the already powerful to make their alts and extra accounts to end-game in short spaces of time, and as the average and max levels just get higher, the gap between them and both newbies and players who are working their way through it themselves grows bigger; devaluing everything middle-game and leaving very little to ever happen in the universe as the game continually just gets bigger at the far end to accomodate ever rising levels whilst newbies are still stuck in the natural lower levels.

So this will increase the price on characters ( accounts with characters ) of lvl 1k+ ^^ awesome ;p

You'd better not be talking about buying or selling accounts, cause you KNOW that's against the rules to discuss...right?

Hmm. I seem to have made it into someone's signature.

Problem being, I don't remember saying that...
