Release Notes - September 1, 2009

[Basil Dreadflint]

Apparrently, we all ARE starting out at level 40 with zero rep. And, that is the way it should be. No MMORPG puts out an expansion and immediately gives credit for 'work done' after finishing the last level. I agree, most pirates hit level 40 and still had weapons and/or quests to do, and they went and did them. That extra 'rep' got counted, but doesn't "Count".
Besides, most of you would be upset to find out that you are level 50, and that you STILL have nothing to do or rep to earn!
The Player cards showing people at levels above level 40 are BUGGED, and should be reported as such.

It would be better for ALL if we just start from level 40. Otherwise, ANYBODY who has more points than just level 40 will be "cheated" out of being able to attain those points.

For example, if Invincible Warlord or Ben Dreadgull were to have all points carried over to level 50, that person could DO the Muertos quest, but couldn't reap the benefits of it. It would be like doing an empty quest.

However, if we all start at level 40, we now have something to work for. You know, what we've been complaining about?

What exactly does that mean? Does that mean all the rep I got from mastering my weapons after level forty are going to waste? Does that mean it will be impossible for me to get to level fifty?

I hope not, and hope that every time there's a cap, the amount of rep needed from point A to point B will be available through story quests.
