Some might say you can manage without boons. Well, you can manage without exp
and eq as well, you're just stuck to killing butterflies. 20 ss lvls gives a
total of 140 stats for a comparison which equals about 2 full stat boons and a
super char boon (let's say 6 lvls = roughly 1 boons). In many reincs you have
good use for some 5-10 boons comparing it to ss this is some, 30 - 60 lvls.
What this basicly means is that a player with 5 boons equals a player with 0
boons which is 30 lvls higher (assuming same amount of skill % stats).

A solution would be downtuning boons however I have a few alternatives which I
think is a better solution:

1) Make it possible to buy 1 tp/boot and player no matter how many has been
sold. My suggested price is 150k. This tune won't have any consequence in a
short scale, it will take a long time to even get a single boon using this
(150 days) and 22.5M cash.

2) Make it possible to train tp:s in the same way you train skills/spells/abili
ties. My suggested training cost is 1M/tp (150M exp for the first boon).
The advantage of this method is that it will have no impact on the game at all
long-term. In case this tune is crap it is easily removable and it's possible
to just fix it in a reinc. This will also remove the limit for when exp stops
being useful for players with extreme amounts of exp.

3) Create a "TP-rebirth". This should work like a normal birth but instead of
the normal bonuses you convert your exp to TP:s. My suggestion is as before 1
tp/1M of exp.
The advantage to this compared to the above suggestion is that it takes a
little bit more dedication from a player to do this since starting all over
from 0 exp is annoying to say the least.

The advantage of all these suggestions is that they will not hurt any player
in any way.

Please let me be frank with you regarding the idea, the answer is:

No, sorry.
