More Rare Spawns: Yes

More Rare Loot Drops: No

Why have more rare spawn and less rare loot?

I suppose it depends, it's not a strong preference here. Sometimes I want the common item, and have felt that the rares were almost 90% likely during those extra rares events. Extra nameds gives you a better chances at both.

I'm surprised you all want such fast unlocks and late starts! Classic start and 4 month unlocks, please!

Definitely okay with 4 month unlocks. The longer the better. Although I'd prefer to start in Kunark as I love the leveling zones of Droga and City of Mist

Phinny clone = $$$$ . Dont get greedy for exp pot sales with mangler exp rates.

I think two servers cant mach all ppl wishes, we need 3 servers if possible.

I am very very want FV TLP server, will play there with any other rules

You can't even agree with what you yourself want. In the same thread, you have said you wanted 2-3 month unlocks, 4 month unlocks, and 3-6 month unlocks.

This ^....I agree....Xp penalty on death makes sense. Xp penalty for playing doesnt make it hard core. Hardcore, to me would have higher risk rewards, meaning it would punish more on failure but reward more on success. So,I would take even a larger penalty on death, since we cant have corpse runs, if they would just give this server a Agnaar xp rate.

DBG also thought that casual players wanted a super fast racing server and that hardcore players wanted a super grindy slow roll server. You have misplaced faith in their ability to understand the data they are given and their decision making skills. I agree with you though. I am a casual player and I say hell no to 6 month servers.

You guys must all be using the voting ballots from Florida.... you're not even all "voting" on the same options.

And before anyone gets their panties bunched up - I live in Florida.

I totally support that.
We had that for the ragefire server creation and I loved it
I think back then the only rule to voting was an all access membership. .. makes sence

I have not personally seen anyone ask for 6 month, and if they have it was maybe 1 lone guy. It can be discounted.

So, that leaves requests for 2-4 month unlocks being stated as preferences.

So, a smart person would understand, and I say this as a 4 month unlock fan, that the best compromise unlock is 3 month.

See how easy it is when you aren't posting just to create conflict and stir up?

Yeah, that democracy thing is . We definitely need to ignore the results of votes and pander to the raid bros that burn themselves out in a week, are bored of raiding in a month, and then spend the rest of the unlock whining about having nothing to do.

Those pesky casuals winning votes are irritating.

We did, and we learned fast from our mistake. That's was a pretty bad one
Anything longer than 3 months and people lose interest. Go back to old servers, play other games and maybe come back when the next expansion drops.
We shouldn't make that mistake again.

To be fair the vote went to all servers not just TLP players and 6 months happened to be the first button you could click and get something off your screen. When the vote went to the TLP server itself later they reduced the unlock from 6 to 4 (? Pretty sure). Voting is good, but forcing everyone to vote isn’t the right way either.

I don't trust them to balance the game for anything under 3 month unlock.

I would go for 2 month but that would require all zone / raid flagging to be removed, and increase raid loot drops by like 3x the amount. They won't do any of this, so we are stuck with 3 month unlocks.

Even with 3 month unlocks, without open world targets, the average raider will be seriously undergeared. 2 month would be bad.

Look at the 1 month selo. Nothing adjusted with raid flagging, raid loot drops lolol.
