That would be great!

As for waiting for the updated client to come out, well, that's been in the works for a very long time and still has not manifested itself. I'd gladly take a temporary solution on this client that would help out the lonely new player then wait the year++ for the upgraded client to come out and lose all those possible new players in the meantime due to lack of people to group and hang with.

I agree, but i just really don't see our current player base "down grading their toon" temporary or not to help newbies (not without some sort of gain), sure one or 2 people here and there but yah idk. Personally when I "adopt" a noob to get them stuff i do it not just to help them but also because i enjoy the fuck out of blowing everything up that was hard once upon a time.

Best thing i could think of is make some sort of Experience bank similiar to Adventuring band and have a NPC you can hail that takes the accumulated EXP's and turns it into platnium or something but even then i could see someone taking a "shrouded" character to something stupid with a tier 12 player and blowing it up! I guess you could make it such a trivial amount of pp people wouldnt want to exploit it but then again why would they bother shrouding anyways?

TLDR: People don't do anything for nothing.

I think with the current exp band code it could be manipulated along with exp debt system to some how bank exp that would be unlocked when returning to the normal level
 
if i could do this i would totally downgrade my chars and try to get my friends to play
 
OH OH OH What if.....

Tome exp...... while shrouded.

Level 65 player goes back to level 10 and that character would level as normal. This toon would also be flagged to go back to 65 when ever they want to.
100% of the exp earned while shrouded would go into the tome as well as the level.

This doesn't seem to hard as far as coding goes. Since tome exp is LEVEL exp

Throw in 3 cheep tomes a fresh level 65 could work on while shrouded.
Damage reduction 2%
Damage done 2%
Healing done 2%
Not that I think we need more tomes just that I don't think a fresh 65 has access to tomes.

Codex of power are only 1650 plat iirc. They're pretty accessable too, just requiring access to the place in MQ (Dont want to spoil anything)
 
IIRC CoPower are getting redone. Maybe keep this in mind when they are redone.
If I had to guess they are being broken up into parts because tanks don't need spell damage and healing.
Once broken up let them get started at 65. So players can Shroud them.
I've said in other posts that AA's are the best part of being level 65 its after they run out tome exp is dry and boring.

So let fresh 65's Shroud tome exps.
 
I really hope they do not get redone. They are fine as is and still some of the most powerful tomes available.

This plus the tome idea would be a lot of incentive to play shrouded.
 
I think there was some discussion on breaking up Codex of power into different parts but who knows.
I've not coded for an EQ emu before but what they've done with tomes sounds doable for a "Shrouded" toon. But like I said I know nothing of SoD code.

Pretty sure this talk about tomes and CoPs will attract a lot of new players. ;)

Well, this discussion is about encouraging higher level players to help out newer players in a way that is more meaningful than just powerleveling them or handing them gear. If it means giving the higher level character tome xp to keep new players from quitting by having no one to group with, that seems like a good trade off to me.

Honestly, if this idea were to be implemented, it wouldn't be that outrageous to make the exp for the higher level player be on tier with a typical group at his level, considering he will be getting no worthwhile tomes/droppables/cash while de-leveled.
 
^^^^^^^^^
This is exactly what I'm getting at. If a feature like this was implamented I think the New/Fun/Exp/helpfullness would warrant the lack of Cash drops.
