Actually I dont think experience is much of an issue :o Id just like more new adventures. And when I look around in the areas that have been added since last I was on the server, im in awe at the progress, yet see a lot of future potential too.

I think it could be really great to do something around Thundar's and the High Moors, it doesnt necesarilly have to be epic levels, so long as its well done. If you look at the gnoll caves, thats a couple of zones that has a lot of atmosphere and for a quite good range of levels it has a high "replay" value. To have more zones such as this in the mid to high range of levels would be nice.

Theres a big difference to entering a cave/dungeon system and progressing through levels and layers, being pushed to the limits of your abbilities between rests (and possibly deaths). And circling an ogre/troll cave once or twice for 4 chests and leaving.

This! More dungeons that are layered and have an exit at the end instead of making you backtrack.

Luckily, though, the Yuan-ti temple is exactly like that if you can find the shortcut.

The Misty Forest is another area which is great to explore and has no mini map. Unfortunately other than finding the Elven village and a couple of chests, there is not much else to do. A couple of dungeons and some plants that you can use your survival and/or craft alchemy skill will make the area more suitable for adventures

I cannot believe that no one has said anything about Ulgoths Beard, the island off that place is absolutely b e a utiful! And theres nothing else to do there, other than that berries quest.. IMO that area is the best looking area out of all areas on the server! There should be a reason to go there, other than just the quest! With all those caves and buildings thats out there, its ideal for any builder to make caves for!

Hey I'll build the caves, if there is any interest in me doing it!

Underdark Wilds could really use some cleaning up. What should be the go to area for high epic Drow instead is pretty stale and unrewarding. After exploring every inch of that place once I had no desire to ever return again.

It needs a lot more linked spawns and a boss in that wide open purple area. Many more interesting landmarks wouldn't hurt either.

/ / huge problem with misty forest is the EDE claims ownership and has literally kicked players out of it. Maybe if they didn't do that then others would explore it more.

I looted a reili's belt of mischief in misty forest once. It was just sitting there, in a chest. Any elf could have had it, but I got it. Praise Bane.

?????

I am tired with this. EDE has not claimed any ownership of the forest, just the village. Go bug the dms about it. It is a matter for them to explain to you and not for you to complain in the public forums

When you're not burned out, that is called "cooperative RP".

But then again, you'd need not to edge a nervous breakdown to realize that.

What I find hilarious is that, levels 1 through 10 are probably the most enjoyable to play, on BGTSCC. All the areas designed for CRs 1 –15 are probably the best, most thought out dungeons/areas.

Furthermore, unless Duster47 quits his job and becomes our new Head Dev/Administrator, there will NEVER be enough new EVERYTHING WANTED to satisfy. But wait: RP always satisfies...right?!?

It comes back to the old problem of how you build content to satisfy the power differential that exists at level 30.
