Removal of Combat Ability

[Dehan]

There's not a whole lot more to DBZ than this, is there?

For the record, while I do think that removing CA will help, the problem isn't with the system, it's with us. We need new blood, yeah, but we have to get our current member base interested again or otherwise we might as well do another turnover and advertise like crazy. (Which I wouldn't be opposed to...revamping every two years is better than this.)

EDIT: It's my opinion that there's nothing holding anyone back now that everyone's roughly on the same playing field. If the lack of power levels are a problem that's hindering a majority from playing/being interested, then yeah, we'll have to address that.

Of course there's not lol, I think we were caught up in the idea of playing customs and figured that's what would bring activity and members...and so far it looks as though that drove folks off.

And personally the idea of not having power levels or any form of identifying power is kind of lame, that's the whole aspect of a rpg(especially a dbz rpg) for me.

From my years playing and running dbz rpg games/sites and doing the rps on irc.mediadriven.net and several other servers that I've since forgotten I know that folks would enjoy a DBZish type rpg. Playing the actual characters and feeling as though they're part of the saga.

We should seriously consider a Dragonball Saga MUD type game. Players can gain powerlevel by fighting NPC's and learn attacks and train them as the many races of DBZ while the Roleplay Channel is for our roleplaying. For one it would solve this power gap issue and provide us a method to kill each other ICly and OOCly.

EDIT: Obviously it's more complicated than that, but I seriously think it would be an interesting new direction. I played the original Dragonball Saga and roleplayed there before I came to Chubbs in 04.

I've forgotten about MUDs, hit up my pm if you still play and wouldn't mind helping me find one. I've partially forgotten how those things work. Anyway I'm hoping the staff and remaining members can all come together and figure some things out.
