i think people should learn all the ins and outs of a game before they start making suggestions that might either A unbalance things or B make it so the creaters of a free game have no income.

It's also good to look at threads posted by the game makers about upcoming game features like inventing (i.e. potion crafting) before making suggestions.

That's just me though

I seriously think we need to raise the minimum level to post on the forums to AT LEAST10

Don't get me wrong. I like to see new enthusiastic people come in. I also like to see sugestions and I don't want to discount anything out of hand...unless i am sleepy which i am right now

It's just that there is a delicate balance in the game and things that take stamina or don't take stamina or might effect stamina or fsp sales in some way i can't think of right now might mean that HCS can't buy that next server to keep the lag down during the next LE

i completely agree with you jason.those suggestions might be fun to you,but as treeline said,it would throw the game off balance.and no offense but those are some childish thoughts.....if we get 200 stamina a day for practicely nothing,ALOT people would spend less fsp upgrading stamina gain or 25 stamina.

as well,the job thing,NO!!!!!!!

Maybe if HCS asked nicely people with the ability to do so could donate things such as servers so that the 2 million + players on FS could enjoy the game more.

I for one have 3+ dedicated servers down in our Verizon data center in Miami, FL that could host some things for HCS (for FREE of course), but in the end it all comes down to offering... but if HCS would rather make money off of the FSP Rewards then so be it.


The model for this game is pretty different then most of the other free games out there

most of the others you get the free part of the game and everyone that subs gets a huge amount of content.

also there are issues with people donating space on hosted servers

things like that have been done in the past ... i can think of a site similair to the fallensword guide that was up and it disappeared in a puff of smoke...the only cheat guide for the game gone in a puff of smoke because someone was unhappy about something.

So that sort of thing is probably out of the question. I am not an employee of HCS keep in mind but I doubt they would accept that kind of offer

Not to mention I doubt your donated space would have the same sorts of SLA's that a purchased hosting service has. I could be wrong but I some how doubt it.

Like I said though I just don't think you have been playing long enough to understand everything that is involved. Playing other online games like fallensword doesn't make you an expert in a week at fallensword. There are enough differences that if you make an assumption you are bound to be wrong.

Just think of how Banker would change the dynamics of the game alone.

I have 7 bank deposits. Now banker come along....so what about me that paid for the upgrades...where does that leave me? Then think of all the people that have yet to buy one of the upgrades and think of the future income to the company

That one suggestion alone would unhinge things and make a lot of people pissed off and asking for their fsp back.

to add to treeline:

scout,so they wonder around all day walking and walking to find super elites,and never kill one themselves?they cant kill anything and can only find them?so for as long as they are a scout,they arent "allowed"to gain any exp,wow

healer,first of all,your HP gets recharged AFTER EVERY BATTLE.and if you meant healing stamina,then i dont think i need to explain any further and just put a NO to it........

blacksmith,so everytime you wipe a square of 8 creaturse or something,you have to trade a guy gold/fsp and everything your wearing and they fix it and give it to you,10 seconds(not exagratting in this case)later you repeat,10 secodns later you repeat,doubt neither side would be happy

guard,potions and FSP arent even stealable,and stealing gold is like part of this game.this would kill PvP,(more than bounty board already has)and also make the guards unable to train themselves

merchant,the biggest one of them all probably,so if you are not a merchant,you cant buy or sell stuff?!?!??!unable to trade anything would make 95% of the players quit,other 5% making 75 threads a day complaining

These are just ideas... but you guys are comparing everything to the way FS is now, instead of thinking outside of the box.


Do you think it might be because I have been playing this game for nearly two years and there might be something I like about it?

You are entitled to your opinions and ideas but I can pretty much tell you that none of those ideas will go anywhere they would change the dynamics of the game in very drastic ways some of which are difficult to foresee and others in ways that are pretty obvious if you know how the game actually operates.

No... think about it dynamically... (this is for you too treeline)


The current aspects of the game will NOT change at all. If you have 7 bank deposits then you still get 7 deposits... but the 25% deposit rule will still be in effect... Look at it like this:

If you're level 381 and you have 17k stamina, you're probably getting about what... 2000 gold per creature kill with a 4x Doubler on? So let's say you're getting 1 hit kills... if that's the case, if you hypothetically burned through ALL of your stamina in one sitting you'd end up with about 10 to 13 million gold... I factored out wasted stamina on empty moves and low-level kills.

So if you have 10 million gold to deposit and you have 7 deposits at 25% per deposit... that means after your 7 deposits you'll be left with 1,725,291. It might not seem like a lot, but it is for some people. So after your deposits are maxed out, thats when you can hire a Banker to make more 25% deposits for you and the banker gets a small fee for his services... get it?


Same thing with the other classes... for example...

Of course a Scout can hunt, but a Scout also has the ability to take on expeditions and find Elites and Super Elites in ANY realm regardless of level. So even if he can't kill them, he can sell the location to someone who can. Don't worry about the price being too high, because of the open market there will always be competition.. and with competition comes lower prices.

Same thing with the Blacksmith. You'll still be able to repair your items the normal way by taking them to a "common blacksmith", but a private blacksmith might offer you a better deal, especially if you take a lot of damage to equipment.


These are just ideas... but you guys are comparing everything to the way FS is now, instead of thinking outside of the box.


For your banker idea ... Then why should I buy any more deposits? I can use 1 ... And let the Banker deposit all the rest to my bank. Or better yet...I can just buy FSPs from the Marketplace ...

And the scout ... The other classes will be off-limits from SE's and Elites?
