Hi everyone!
I just recently came back to AO and realized the game is mostly fast paced leveling, getting gear solo multi-boxing, and a lot of OST. I wanted to know what people thought of slowing it down and making a book of unwritten rules to a "hardcore mode" scenario.
Example:
1) Level only through groups, dailies, and hunting grind.
2) Equip only items obtained through loot (E.G. dynas, dungeons, vendors)
3) No outside buffs other than to twink on looted items obtained through teams or solo.
4) No carries through dungeon via a twink within level range.
5) Only spend credits obtained from selling loot via vendor or GMI.
6) No buying items from in-game shop using funcom points
...and potentially more.
I know some games have made up this idea in MMO's like World of Warcraft called Iron Man.
This could be a fun way to level new toons and experience the game again instead of this fast paced 1-220 race with alts. It could bring Organizations closer together and make the new players have more people to team with and even froobs.
