The usual disclaimers apply - we're still working on this, we haven't tested it, we don't have any hands-on user feedback yet, etc. Heck, it's already pretty different from what we described at the Roundtable on Saturday. So get out those grains of salt, and read on:
Proposed Ream Rank Expansion - RR12
Realm Ranks
- We plan to increase the realm rank limit to 12L0.
- We will still give characters one Realm Skill Point for each realm level, which means that the total possible RSPs will increase from 100 to 110.
- At 11L0 a character will get a new realm title, exactly as we do now.
- At 12L0 a character will receive a title that can be seen by realmmates and enemies. Realmmates would see (title) (firstname) (lastname); i.e. Lord Michael Balanceboy. Enemies would see (title) (firstname) I.e. Lord Michael.
***
There are also going to be some adjustments to some of the system caps at the same time that we introduce the expanded ranks:
Realm Point Bonus/Penalty
- We will make the Point modifier work as both a bonus and a penalty.
- We will lower the percentage modified per realm level difference.
- We cap the penalty at 25%. (What this means to you is that no one will ever earn less then 75% of full credit, even if you whack someone much smaller in realm level.)
- There is no upward cap on the bonus percentage for killing someone of a much higher realm level. Therefore, a RR 1L0 who killed a RR 12L0 would receive a bonus of almost 30%.
***
And now, for those of you who want to know the numbers for our proposed rank progression, here's a handy reference guide. Remember, subject to change, potential typo territory no matter how many times I proofread, et cetera and so forth. To the best of our knowledge, there is no one currently playing who could immediately be RR12L0 under the proposed system.
Okay, enough hedging. To achieve the rank on the left, you'll need the corresponding number of points on the right:
Realm Rank 11, Level 0 - 8,208,750
Realm Rank 11, Level 1 - 9,111,713
Realm Rank 11, Level 2 - 10,114,001
Realm Rank 11, Level 3 - 11,226,541
Realm Rank 11, Level 4 - 12,461,460
Realm Rank 11, Level 5 - 13,832,221
Realm Rank 11, Level 6 - 15,353,765
Realm Rank 11, Level 7 - 17,042,680
Realm Rank 11, Level 8 - 18,917,374
Realm Rank 11, Level 9 - 20,998,286
Realm Rank 12, Level 0 - 23,308,097
