'MERCENARY'
Mercenaries are available for hire from select locations in the realms, for
a premium. They come as their advertised rank and the sevice they provide
is strictly temporary. When you hire a mercenary, their contract with you
will be valid for approximately two hours. After the initial two hours, the
mercenary will cease to assist you in battle until you pay them more gold.
You will be notified when their contract has expired, and each subsequent
payment buys you two more hours of them assisting you in battle. A
mercenary will never assist you with attacking guild guardians, even if they
are fully paid up.
Mercenaries will act as a third member in terms of experience. If you gain a
third player, the mercenary will negatively affect the groups experience,
whether it is fighting or not. You would be wise to release the mercenary in
those circumstances.
Being humanoid allows mercenaries to wear some equipment as well. These
mercenaries may wear a helm, torso, belt, weapon, and shield. While the
mercenary will persist over QUIT and reboots, any items will be lost.

I think you are fine after 30's because a lot of other people should be stuck there. I saw a lot of people with lots of money from ofcol. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. We can provide level 35 money makers if gold is the only blocker here. |

I don't believe you can actually have the mercenary wear a belt, I've tried. I'm not saying that's a bad thing... Having a mercenary wear the girdle of many pouches and carry a bunch of things which weigh nothing, that's no good. Even having them wear a container. |

When it comes down to it, we lack the playerbase. I personally don't play as often as I should (or would like to), I keep trying to get my brother and room mates to play but when it comes down to it life comes first... And deadspace 3 did just come out... The fb page is a good idea, I'll link it to the gaming section of reddit to see if we can't get a couple of newbies.
Done, and if you're a redditor I could always use the karma/upvotes... Errr I mean if you give it upvotes people are more likely to read it or click the link and give AR a shot. |

Hey guys, just so you know I haven't forgotten about this. I want to make sure you feel you can manage to solo by those early levels. It will be my goal that I can tide you over to monster potions fairly easily with quests and ranking areas - by then you should be set for some steamrolling with groupmates 8 levels lower.
I actually found out the goblins were OP. They wear armor which messes up your hit chance due to the low level. This problem was on a few other low level mobs wearing eq, and I fixed as many of them as I could think of.
I put in a "travelers guidance" set on the orc mountain travelers, you can either request it or kill them.
I've identified that the graveyard is not functioning well as a ranking area. That is NOT my intent. I have some other things that are of higher priority (Meriando's quests), we will get this area fixed up soon when those are in and he can complete writing another round of quests.
Some players brought up that their pets actually do much more damage than them until level 9 or higher. We will drop some skill levels down so that you can get by. Currently we're looking into which ones to use. |

Thanks Dav, I still feel like some brainstorming is in order to get some vets or new blood in. Tried reddit and to be honest I'm not noteworthy enough to listen to, is our only actual advertising on Mud connector or whatever? |

Yeah, I'd say problem solved. Eat me, drink me, and pinnacles not counting toward group limit at the end. Helping lowbies rank is way more fun than killing golems. |
