Well atleast one dev has decided that mangos is far too open to be left that way! it allows way to many possibilities... it must be made as "blizzlike" as possible. as of late some of you may have noticed that level 88 was the ceiling. no one could level past that. well that was an intentional patch by a mangos dev in order to limit the people to play level 70 or below. After I asked about it I was told level 70 is the intended target. I asked when mangos had started becoming an emulator and my post was deleted. I created a legitimate bug report and it was turned into an enhancement report and essentially closed. so it seems mangos is turning into a full fledged emulator which is shitty for us as I want to someday be somewhere where most of the world is customized.... too bad, mangos has been showing promise all this time but this whole personal pet project bull shit is getting old. this is like being between hard place and a rock.....antrix isnt anywhere near where I can call it useable on linux. mangos might not want me around since this wont be first time anyone opposing a dev gets permanently "muted"... meh we shall see.

hmmmm...so i assume thats why the xp bar isn't showing up. Whatever your decision is i'd still like to be part of your server as it still remains to be the only fun part left in WoW.

I reverted their crappy patch in my compile to allow for leveling past. how high you can go now is to be seen.

alright, so patch is still at 2.0.12?

Hey Kingpin give me mangos website, I don't mind telling them off and getting banned ^_^

ok...

Maybe this has already been thought about and not took as a solution due to the difficulty of realization, but i'd like to propose this anyway:

since it's hard to get those freaky bl1zzl1ke-oriented patches to work properly with 255 lvl max, and since we like our server as it is, so with soloable bosses etc, i was wondering if we could have put the max lvl to 70 (as ppl like death42O like it) but altering the stat table so that at 70 u will have the 255 stat that allow u to play as now we do (and how we like it ).

maybe the xp rate can be slightly lowered to match the time required to get the max lvl now.

can it be done? This would like to be an help for u so to not become mad after those developers' patches/bug.........

-edit-

I've thought there can be a problem:
players with increased stats facing mobs of the same level (so too much easy to kill).
the solution might be to increase mobs stats too.

I think that leaving mobs level as it is now and letting players with increased stat face higher level mobs (let's say a lvl 32 pally with 12k hp facing a mob lvl 96) might create problems about the xp gained (thanks crew.. -.-), so i suggest to have the mobs level as original, but with more stats so to be able to face players.
