I think the cost of levels/skills etc after first rebirth should not be the
same as non rebirthers, it should be higher like 50% higher for first rebith,
100% higher for 2nd and maybe 150%/200% for third.
-----------------
So you are after all suggesting that now when rebirth is only for the players
that are realy rich in exp, it would be only available to the filthy,insane,
rich of exp?
Wait lets take the idea even future.
"Newbies should be able to play only kobold barbarians and only after getin
100M total they are allowed to take ranger. After hiting tsiljon or so exp
they are able to reinc (with tax of tens of prosents, not some fev prosent) to
gnoll". Yeah, that would realy emphasize the freedom of gamestyle.
Do you think it would be more inviting to be able to play whatever kind of
character you like without first having to do tens of miljons of exp until you
are able to play it? Making some races rebith-only races was IMO a bad move.
Now those that like to play now and then, can never have access to them. The
fact that those ppl that "live" in MUD are already around level 100 and that
is already a status and a achivement.
If races would be like they were (invite only exc.) and If rebirth would turn
your total exp in to taskpoints (1 per 100k or by some twisted calculation)
and drop you to lvl zero but it would have the same time limits it now has...
That would solve the problem that the rich ppl have loads of taskpoints and
the fact that rebirth is now just a thing to take to get better character in
future. With friends around lvl 100 and EQ worth tens of miljons that aint far
in future.
To gain some sense in these reinc (remember what the word means?) counts, i
would introduce lvl 101.
Level 101 would be available after one week (or some other nice time prediot)
without having to collect exp for it (thus lvl 100->101 zero exp/money) and
when taking the lvl 101 you are instantly reinced with slow and unsafe reinc
options BUT without exp tax cost thus this reinc would truly be a chalenge for
old players wihtout them grinding their teeth to dust with the reinc exp tax
cost of miljons.

Yes yes im newbie and yes yes im bitter not being able to play vampire
anymore, but you have to admit that hundreds of TP's are at the moment (RL)
rich ppl's candys and the other races (aka rebirths) are for only for exp
(filthy) rich players. Both things unfair for the ones not being rich in
neither way. No i dont suggest that everyone should get hundrerds TP's sudenly
or all races should be available to all but everyone should have chance to
achive both.
(If you think geting 1k of TP's trough bug reports/taskamster or 675M is
possbile by normal playing in THIS life, i suggest you think again those that
have other things to do in their life than just mud. no offence.)
