I for one am one of those with too many boons, and I would like to state that
looking at huppus flame post I do agree with him on those points that boons
are too powerfull. I had this though that all the boons could be halved, even
con and str that already have been downgraded would be made 30max. But on the
other hand the SS levels could be made more easily gainable, as in 1 ss level
could bring more then 1% of skillmax, which seems so ridiculously little,
since lot of the races almost require that 100% skillmax in order to be at the
level which people accept themselves, since it seems that lure/bcry kind of
skills require that 100% skillmax to work properly ( i might be wrong about
this ). Anyways make it so that with less ss levels you can get more stats,
since if you have boons you can easily get those guild levels that give more
then just one stats, you gain all kinds of skills/spells/stats/regen etc...

as for the \"just +1% skillmax per level\"

Level 10:
Abilities:
Skillmax of all +2

Level 15:
Abilities:
Skillmax of all +3

Level 20:
Abilities:
Skillmax of all +4

etc etc etc, and where the hell were you last friday, why didnt you come booze with us?! Mur :)

I think that people who have donated nice amounts of rl money should benefit from it as they do now. Afterall they sponsored new machine so we all could happily again play this game. I\'m sure that most of the donaters dont like the idea that their benefit from donating are lessen, even if it would be ok with you (I assume that you have donated some). And yes donating was volunteer but still. Boons have been tuned enaugh already.

And what comes to the ss levels, I agree with you. They could be improved, but it should so that the smaller amount of tp\'s you have, the bigger benefit from ss levels you would get. Eventhough the scale should be made so that the players with boons would still get little more stats with boons and ss levels than those with only ss levels, briefly stated the difference between boonless and booned players concerning stats should imo be reduced. And yes you get other \"suffeli\" with tp\'s too, but thats the way it should be. And anyway isn\'t it so that we all able to gain some boons?

That is my opinion in this matter.
And now I\'m enthusiastic to see how many \"you\'re newbie and stupid\" posts my post causes.

It's amazing how often this thread keeps popping up, either
in news or in face-to-face discussions :)

Nevertheless, the administration will now and in the future
tune anything in the game that they consider necessary to keep
it challenging and fun. This includes tuning monsters, players,
guilds, items, boons, your pet goldfish and whatever may cross
our minds. We will not limit our options or methods even if
someone has donated to the game - it is a donation after all,
not a purchase of static goods. We are naturally grateful to
anybody who participates in making BatMUD possible, be it via
donations of money or time to development effort.

That being said, there are two boons that I have tuned lately -
"more constitution" remains the overwhelmingly most popular
boon even after it was tuned, and it doesn't look like the
popularity of "more strength" has gone down either, quite the
contrary because of the impact strength has on the damage
bonus.

Sincerely,
Gore
