#6692, "Idea xp bonus for ranking"


          

Just tossing this out there to get some feedback but I was thinking that when ranking if you are killing your races particularly mortal enemy you get a slight bonus to exp. For example Duergar vs Dwarf, wood-elf vs orc...etc and vice versa. Thoughts, yes, no, maybe?

We've kicked this particular idea around some, so it's possible you'll see it or something along these lines in the future.

It's also possible that you won't.

How's that for vague!

How about getting XP for PK'ing a racial enemy? I've always thought it'd be cool if orcs that PKed a lot of elves got recognized somehow. This isn't exactly what I had in mind, but I still think it would be a neat addition.

There's been a trend recently of adding small XP bonuses for this or that. Maybe you could say that there's already enough reward in PKs, and I would generally agree. But I don't see why you couldn't add a small little something to certain PKs. Just a little bonus to help stoke the racial rivalries.

The idea of XP-for-PK was discussed previously, and this was the staff's consensus.

by giving XP-perks for PKing races, people will soon create power-combos solely to clean out their PK range of a certain race, and then spend their entire online time multi-killing the members of that race for XP. That's not cool, it's OOC, and it is likely to discourage people from playing certain races.

Than people creating power-combos solely to clean out their entire PK ranges, regardless of race?

An orc-hating wood-elf sounds like valid roleplay to me...

The XP bonus for good killing evil and vice versa. It's not quite as specific as what you said, but it's still pretty nice. I wouldn't mind seeing a little extra xp for a drow killing an elf though.
