First of all Hello again everyone, glad to see another Inera project being build as I ve missed last couple of them 😟
As for the stages with max. lvl cap, thats a great idea, I ve seen it work on another servers pretty well and I think the community enjoys it.
For the "no dualbox" restriction, Im not so sure. I think it can work, but to work properly it needs pretty high and active population. You need to be able to find the ppl you need for exp in 20min max. otherwise ppl will just get frustrated and leave. Nobody wants to spent their free time they have to play between work and family to sit in Giran and spam "LF Rech 50+" (or something like that).
I ve been playin 3x server with no dualbox and what really, REALLY helped everyone on that server, meaning solo players who play dps classes aswell as buffers, was that buffers could sit in peace zones (the main center was in MDT cause of free port from every GK) and sell their buffs for adenas. Its benefical for everyone. 🙂
