Varlyndria 2

[Cfuson]

The biggest problem with the last varlyndria server was the fact that you couldent balance content. YOU CANNOT BALANCE CONTENT TOWARDS DONATORS.

When you make you're new server do not enable donation items or existing characters for atleast 2 weeks so the new crew of players can test the current content out without any benefits.

As someone who has played on both varlyndria servers and made multiple friends from it, thats the best advice i can give you.

I've learned a hard lesson from exactly what you're stating here. I plan to release the donation system a couple weeks after release. I already had that idea on my agenda. The donation system is going to be as balanced as I can get it as well. Players this time around will be able to find everything that you can donate for in the game, but of course some things might be extremely difficult to achieve normally. I find that to be the fairest way to do this.

Well in theory you can. You'd just have to make a split zone or a split instance, you know. If client hasitem $1234(Donation item), then increase the scalement of the mob...

In all seriousness Drak, as I've posted before. It's your server man. Do what you want to do, the way you're doing it now seems interesting... Balancing is the hardest part of the game. Bosses are naturally stronger but with the people whom play EQEMUM, it's either a SOLO server, or a BOX server, but for those people who play only 1 client, and try to do your content they are going to get angry because they can't solo it, eventually get fed up and quit. Those who box two on a solo server get angry because it's to easy. The only inter medium that would work is a Instance scaled to group, or raid, or solo.
