Re: Demise Reward's Hall
While I can understand your concerns, rm, I think a rewards hall puts us in the middle of EA and other servers.
You stated that people would rather have items than a statue with their name on it.
That's the catch - we don't give items out now. Very very VERY few unique items exist on Demise. So, the statues/items with names on it in a building is more recognition than players get right now. Events will continue to be held and the prizes for our events will be the same... but in addition to this, the players have an opportunity to earn recognition for certain activities, events, and story arcs.
EA is going in the opposite direction. They have so many special, unique, event rares they have lost control over what has been given out. This is their way to reign in what damage they have already done. Your reasoning fits more that of OSI than it does for Demise. If I were an OSI player, I could see being upset that the gravy train is turning off and all those valued event rares are going away.
I also want to make it clear that a named reward will not be put in the hall for each PvP tournament winner or each LMAD winner... that'd be ridiculous... but things related to the server or the RP aspect of the server will be documented there. I have some other plans as well for the hall and hope that the players are ok with them (I think the majority will be). The hall is simply going to be used to create a history of the server as far as a general timeline when certain things happen.
