The problem with Camlan is the few retards that seem to specialise in grief style of play. Logging in a new char and getting raped x number of times whilst doing /level 20 instantly put me off. Probably the same for many others.
The server will stay dead until all that crap stops. It's pointless trying to level on Camlan unless you play odd hours. Even tried again using instances to level when Cats came out. You can probably guess what happened, exit instance and get ganked. Then can't make it from bind to instance without getting ganked again and again......
Its not the game causing Camlan's problems, it's the few players spoiling it for everyone else. If players really want to get more people involved on Cam then advertise for recruits into guilds and aid there leveling so they get past the initial griefing stages.
No, my char was not a totally OP char it was an INF and NS.

what you're saying is exactly the opposite of everyone that has a lvl 50 on camlann. the difference between you and them, is that they didn't give up, and you did. try reading the rest of the thread, and take some advice from the people that actually knows what they're talking about.

yes, because letting carebears make a char and get all artis/mls easymode and then copying it to camlann where its "hardmode" would be fair.

what would you rather want? a lvl 20 in free gear, or a lvl 50 with nothing at all?
if you say the lvl 50, then its a shame stupidity isnt painful

XenX said:wtf is wrong with copying a naked lvl 50?,
lol, just lol
Your ideas are either crap or impossible. Do you think about what you're writing at all?
No con loss till 40 isnt a bad idea, but kinda irrelevant in the long run. Since con before 40 hardly costs much, and greens dont get chained very much at all. You will also get players that agree to farm each other for money. You could also get a lot more money by doing a little pve. And not having a consequence to dying opens up a completely new range of problems.
/level 40 wouldnt be bad either. But again in the whole scheme of things its pretty useless. Since con costs much more at 40 than at 20 people will run out quicker and give up faster. And anyone thats serious about lvling can get to 40 in a few days.

nothing wrong with copying a naked 50, but why would you want to if it would be your only 50 on camlann?
Well I don't see the harm into /charcopy'ing as it would help both sides.
Camlann will be filled with more people, especially the ones that are complaining about being chain killed while /levelling and complaining about Artifacts and it would help the Camlann people as there would be more people to kill and they would still have an advantage because they are 'settled' already and have Alliances going and most 'Carebear' people will probably run without buffbots because if their buffbot gets chain killed a few times they won't bother to log it in anymore seeing as so many people are used to buffbots on the RvR servers.

The actual ammount it costs doesnt matter tbh, as an example i got my cousin who playes excal to come have ago, it wasnt that it was costing a fortune for him to repair his con at the low levels but more that it was costing him a fortune in relation to what he had, a /level character on camlann has 0 money, a couple of deaths and thats what a gold?
a couple of hours in goth and ur 0 con, and he knew he could go and pve, but he wanted to pvp suprise suprise as thats what the server was called, someone who just started on camlann doesnt want to spend the first week pve'ing for 4 hours to pvp for an hour every day, its just boring,
i play on the pvp server because i dont like pve i cant stand it any more iv done it too much, (and iv never even done any master levels id prolly die of boredom) anyway, the point is, saying "you can just go pve" is silly cause most people are already fed up of pve'ing
the only pve you should have to do on camlan in my opinion is whats absolutely neccessary like quests, doing your arti's and if you really want to, ML's and stuff, yes you may end up having to farm some cash for items and things, but thats a lot different that having to farm cash becuase you were just chained off the server, im sure most ppl wud quit before they got the farming con money stage, hence why the server is so quiet.
thats retarded
if you dont want to pvp go play CS or something, daoc is mmorpg. saying that camlann doesnt attract people because "he wanted to pvp suprise suprise as thats what the server was called, someone who just started on camlann doesnt want to spend the first week pve'ing for 4 hours to pvp for an hour every day, its just boring" is like saying "i'm not gonna play rvr servers, i want to rvr but WTF you have to pve or something, how gay!11"
furthermore none of your suggestions would do anything to remove pve from camlann, /level 40 would result in the exact same thing as /lvl 20 does, but with less chance of successfully begging some money to start with; naked chartransfer, ditto but at lvl 50; no con loss till 40, "level 36" syndrome times a hundred.
