Celtic Heroes

i have been asked to start a discussion about leveling.

in particular, what happens if you want to level but someone is already in the room? what if they are 'always' in the room and stay for hours.

The game is public, and know one has anymore right to a location than anyone else.

However, that being said, i think we should develop some protocols because i am starting to hear complains that people are being treated poorly (either for not leaving a space or fro trying to level in a space). On our server, we tend to get along fairly well, and the nice thing is we tend to discuss contentious issues.

there are lots of ways to handle these situations, some examples may be:

consider a room at capacity only if there are 6+ people in it. if you come across a grp of 3 in a room, you should feel free to share the room if your grp is 3 or under.

grp with whoever is there, and the people there should accepts requests.

first come first serve - if some is there before you, go do something else until the area is clear

if someone is waiting, no more than two elix before letting the other grp in

and so on and so on.

the above are just ideas - but are not a set of rules. they are by no means the only thoughts out there. I just want us to have a starting place for a discussion. then we will try to come to consensus and hopefully that will resolve some of the tensions as people level higher and there are fewer decent locations in which to level.

thanks

I think it's overstepping game boundaries. I know we all like to try n fix stuff but I don't believe this is where we step in. I think it's just where the game is a game. If room is occupied ask for group. If denied move on.

Nice ideas but i think this is not neccesarely..
Most people are mature/social enough to group if people already there or just come back later.
And anyways, its a game, you cant force someone to stay away from a 'full' room as example..

This place has alot of rules

It's fine, we don't have to do anything. But I don't like hearing stories of people bullying or swearing at others who enter a room. Or won't leave it. Especially when they can't clear it.

This topic can die if no one cares. Doesn't bother me.

As for the idea that this place has a lot of rules: i think most places do, but we have tried hard to codify etiquette - so people have a fair shot and we can reduce noob mistakes. Also, people tend to get along better if they have appropriate expectations.

From what I gather, we are one of the only worlds without a really dominant clan or clans. Good players from any clan are welcome to battles and such. I would guess that worlds with a dominant clan have many rules and protocols if you are in that main clan.

True about the clans. We should be policing ourselves. If anyone in my clan happens to be the culprit just shoot me a message or mail and I'll handle it. I'd like to think everyone is well behaved but sometimes sh...tuff happens.

It's fine, we don't have to do anything. But I don't like hearing stories of people bullying or swearing at others who enter a room. Or won't leave it. Especially when they can't clear it.

I think it was a good topic to bring up, as are other etiquette issues in general.

These discussions don't always have to spawn a new rule, but just what most people should expect to happen in these situations.

As zyn said, if you are soloing or with one or two other people in a room, don't expect to own it. You can group the new person that comes in or share the room, especially if you are going to stay for a while.

Personally, I usually just start healing/helping and I am usually asked to join, even when there is already another druid in the group.

And if the people in the room are going to argue about it, keep it in the room. Don't come complaining about it to the rest of us. Too much of the drama in Lugh now comes from these sorts of small issues that morf into big ones because only one side of the story gets shared.

Thanks for bringing it up. Boss/grouping etiquette might be other good topics to post about.

There used to be a noob guide somewhere. Its useful to help people acclimate to the game and learn some etiquette. If someone is bored enough they could just come up with something simple to go by just as reference. Cast, you seem pretty eloquent. Hehe

i agree with a noob guide as well or possibly a different one for rogues because rogues can clear a area much faster than other classes and also at lower lvls one can easily solo most areas and still have to wait for enemies to respawn. cause really who wants to waste lix time waiting for enemies to respawn.

ak i like this thread but the thing is i mainly stop going on celtic heroes becuz there are too many peope in a room either for farming or lvling and its just extremely hard to lvl
in a room with to many people.this is mainly the reason i am afk from games becuz when ilogg in to lvl someone is inside a room lvling.

Or a small group is the room but dont relly want to lvl with the NOOB warrior rothar

but i enjoy this thread so people are aware why alot of lvling problems start
