This only will shed light uppon how hard is to make a krayt weapon with only a WS at hand and you'll never see one ingame. And i'm quoting just to inform, not flaming or anything.

I know plenty of people that only play crafters, there will be more then enough crafters to supply the server.

Exactly! I was a master Armorsmith,Artisan and merchant on live and it was pretty awesome.

It seem a majority of people voted "yes" because they just want to do whatever the developers want to do. Which doesn't help the actual voting at hand. It wasn't what YOU think they developers want, it's what ever YOU want on the test server.

If I'm wrong and the developers just want a wipe anyways, they should just do it, I agree with them, but on a personal note, I'm against a character wipe - I believe there is no reason on 'fixing' a server on death row as soon as the OR comes out.

it will be more easy for the devs to do a complete wipe rather than leave partial bits and i am sure they will want to add as little time to this as possible, unless they want to test the new unlock system.

Is that a bad thing? I'd much rather have 1-2 super excellent special weapons over the entire server population than having them be the norm.

One character / account per person is fine by me as well, although a couple of characters each probably works better on a server like this.

Anyway, back on topic!

Oh, and to chip in on the main topic of the last few pages: OmgNo to blue frogs or any other crap like that. Grinding combat is trivial as it is, and while artisan is somewhat more time-consuming on a fresh server, at least you have the advantage of actually being able to make _useful_ stuff without being master. That newbie-made E11 is suddenly looking pretty good to the people grinding combat.

having only 1 character per server was my biggest gripe on live.
that being said, there is only 1 server here. so you then limit a person to only take 1 profession and stick with it. on live you had multiple servers. so, if you got bored grinding your crafter you could log in on another server and play something else to ease the monotony. if you're going to limit the number of characters a person has then limit it to 2.
in all actuality, this is a test server. so there shouldn't be those kinds of limitations until a RC (release candidate) is ready to be tested.

Well as a matter of fact one solution would be to have a few test galaxies so you could have one toon on each and see how that goes.

It would be an excellent test both to see if the server or cluster of servers can handle multiple galaxies : like 2 or 3 for example, as well as looking as how populations and economy behave with one toon per, no triple xps, no easy mobs, no silly loot...

Say nova-1, nova-2, nova-3...

When one is deadlocked you go play your crafter on the other... etc... etc...

Or... One with blue frogs, one without...

Fair point about variation. I don't quite agree with the 'no restrictions at all' sentiment though, but then I have a very masochistic approach to gaming and absolutely hate having access to everything without being made to choose. A question of personal preference I guess.
