yep, the second char will mose certainly rock, and perhaps that is not fair to
the boonless players. But then again, you could think of this as some sort of
trial version at first, you play this game and you notice you like it, but to
be able to rock and to be able to make rocking combos out of guilds and be
that suffel 1-row habotank/sabrebard/whatever you need to donate some and thus
helping to develop the game and get efficient hardware. Instead of "try for
30days then pay 30$" - here you can still play the game but to open up more
possibilities you need to give something back.

Ya 0-1 round habos are nice to bad its imposible without boons. 1 round area
spells rock even more lava storm, cone of cold, etc. Even better a self
healing tank that has the same or more hps than a unbooned crimson. I could
keep going but that should get the point accross. Its one of those yes&no
questions you cant say either cause each one is right and wrong at the same
time. Should boons be removed no. Should they be heavily downtuned yes. Also
improve SS bouns as exp not how much you donated to game should matter. This
will balance the HUGE diffrence bettween who is booned and who is not.

Gorge Typo --> Ignore The Typos


In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

Well I've been playing this game for free over two years now (quite a little
while compared to many), but I understand people who donate to keep this
going. Boons are very useful, not because of stat bonuses or skillmaxes etc,
but because they make it possible to try interesting race and guild combos.
When I started playing no one would have believed that ents would make rocking
habo off/def tanks.

Now that it is impossible (you know what I mean) to donate, those older
players (who did donate and actually knew what to do with task points and how
powerful they were) have a very clear advantage compared to those who started
playing a year ago or so. We could argue forever that is this fair, but I
would suggest inventing new things to do with your task points. IMO those
+skill/spellmaxes and statmaxes are actually quite lame. Perk -system from
Fallout games would be much more interesting:

You could buy avoid death or infravision ability with boons, you could get
that "strong back", which would enable you carry more equipment before
starting to lose def factor (Useful to tanks with 2 xormors or vorpals for
example), endurance boon that would work like the skill... The list goes on
and on

This would balance the powers between players with task points and those with
not, yet it would introduce useful ways to spend your tp's. Compared to the
current system, there wouldn't of course be any 10% boons etc. but certain
"perk" would cost a certain amount of task points.
