Sid 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 Zems are really hard to come by. I think since the drop rates are low we can take advantage of this. This means we can hold events like once a week where the prize is a zem or two so that there are a few more zems on the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garch 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 I voted do nothing but now that i think about it giving some away at events would be a pretty good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wutafreek 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 Don't mess with the drop rate, because it can get screwed up VERY easily. A couple of events with zems as prizes, however, sound good. Just don't make them too often, and make sure you do some lowbie events with zems as prizes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Hunter[GM] 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 Agree with the above.... I have learned...the HARD way not to mess with the intricate, delicate balance of the drop rate. I'd be happy to add some zem events ....different types, different locations, ie: farm, promise land, middlelands, town....if you guys think that would help.

Shadowrain 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 it isnt hard to get a zem u just need patientence :D but i agree that instead of increasing drop rate there should be events once in a while every 1 or 2 weeks i think that will be much better than increasing the drop rate :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EzekieL 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 yeah after leveling my war to 91 i still havnt gotten 1 stone lol zems are meant to protect your items that were hard to get i dont think zems should be more rare then your rare items haha cuz then there's no reason to use them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sid 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2007 yeah every time i try to get a zem someone wants a dm1 or mp shield for it...there so rare that noone wants to fight. im sick of noone wanting to fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garch 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 patience? or way more time on my hands? damn RL... Well you figure training around 100 levels as a mage on scorps you would get more than 1 zem. (IS MY LUCK) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sid 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 ok let me make this really really clear: more zems means people dont run and recall from fights as much. if you have one zem, of course your gonna run screaming from a fight like a pussy. fighting to the death means more fun. i want this server to be more fun. i dont see why people keep voting for us to do nothing. i asked people to post if they voted for doing nothing about the situation because theres really no reason i can figure out not to increase the number of zems ingame. especially if its through events. that way we wont screw up the drop balance. personally i really enjoy events, even when im running around BI for 5-10 min and dont get anything. you cant win them all.

~Hunter[GM] 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 the MAIN reason I am offering these Zem events is because I want to encourage the PVP and I agree....when someone has no zems or only 1 zem, they will not fight to the death (unless they are ---- well never mind, you all know WHO I mean) Last night we had a hide and seek for zems- can only win once This morning there were zems planted on BI- max 2 zems per player Later this week, I am going to have a trivia game on BI. I need to make it on BI because I cant see both maps global chat at the same time...so we will will stand around the portal and have a trivia game. Sorry for the players who dont speak English....you will be at a disadvantage for this one. And also there will be some frozen zems and hot zems available at another time....you can GUESS as to where they might be hidden. And...lastly, a flag contest, in game....post your flag picture on the forum and win a zem. As long as its not totally lame, each entry will win 1 zem and the GRAND PRIZE winner will get a stones package. 5 zems, 3 merien, 2 Xelimas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
