Ranking System Revamp...

[Panther]

So...

With 1.3 coming soon I am planning on shaking things up a bit and re-vamping the ranking system a bit...

Core things to note are as follows:
Still going from 1 > 100
Dropping down from 6 classes to 4, which split at 70 into 8 sub classes. (This is so I can manage them easier and allocate rank/class specific items and commands, with 6 splitting to 12 it's just to much variety and gets a bit messy)
No rank name change every 10 levels, instead you stay the rank and it only changes at the rank split points. Rank colour gets darker, same as usual.
A Bunch of command/spell adjustments and permission changes based on your class.


New Ranks will be:
Mage > Warlock/Priest
Warrior > Berserker/Templar
Scout > Gunslinger/Toxophilite 
Crafter > Demolitionist/Engineer

Basically:
Priests are merged into Mages and but split into damage and healer based 'mages'
Thief/Rouge classes merged with the Ranger classes


Along with this will come some 'light' item restrictions, nothing too restrictive, just to add a little more of the RPG feeling.

I will also make an easier 'rank reset' command, that will be able to refund so it's easier and cheaper to change ranks if you want to. Ranking up will also be cheaper overall.


This overhaul is probably going to come with a rank and bank balance reset (explanation below):
A long time ago when there were bugs with the bank system a lot of soul shards were duplicated and I want to clean this up so everyone is on the same page.

Anyone who purchased Shards from the VIP store will be able to re-credit the shards to their new accounts.

Moving from the 6 classes to 4, along with level changes and rank name changes, permissions etc are going to be way too messy to manage without the reset (sorry) (VIP accounts will remain)

Finally, I just want to have everyone start fresh with 1.3 (I did this for 1.2 as well)

All of this is at least a few weeks down the track yet, and at some points are likely to change.

You can voice any concerns/suggestions/questions here if you wish.

Yay, great Job Panther, I think this is a big step forward for the server, and you. I think it will kinda free you up a bit, with less to be worried or fussed over, and it will be much simpler for all the players to understand. Andd with the SS, what if you haven't got yours through duplication? I just farm for mine, and vote as well. I guess it's easy enough to get them back, and I don't use them for much, being a Senior and all with /item and /give.

Great Job again Panther,

Can you pls clarify what will happen to our accounts?

[Starnight]

What if some players just dont want to lose all their items? I got an idea.... what if some players who didnt want all their items gone they can ask for all their items to be returned??

Uhm, I'm pretty sure EVERYONE wants their items returned if it is reset.
Panther's PM will just be spammed with :
" I want my items back..."
" I request my items back"
"Give me my items back...."
epic out

Probably not... Just rank's and bank account reset. User accounts, Items/Inventory and bank chest will probably stay.

I will probably do a times X shards event for a while after reset to compensate after the bank account reset
