To be clear, I am no way suggested any of these ideas should be implemented on the regular servers.

 

Back in the days of Ultima Online, it's still running by the way, they had a Siege Perilous server.

It was a high difficultly server, resources were scare or expensive. Skill gain was slow past a point.

 

While not changing any major mechanics. What would you change to make the server very challenging? 

 

Some ideas:

Disable incarnates or limit level shift to only +1

Make all enhancement much more expensive to buy

Make SG prestige needed again

The problem is, you're asking the GMs to essentially maintain TWO server platforms.

As a thought experiment, okay.

As something they should implement?

Who's paying for it?

Probably so few people would play that one of the devs could run it on their laptop for free. 🙂

 

Just a thought experiment, since some folks were complaining the game was too easy.

While laptops are more capable than ever, a server isn't the sort of load you want any appreciable number of people on.

Ok. It was a joke.

You forgot your humor tags.

Short blurbs of flat text are terrible at conveying nuance.

So yes.  IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
