Bolto's lag issues seems to be lessened with lower screen resolution, so might not need a Bolto server

Hmm. To go in to more detail. Assuming the 1.69 server is recoverable, I can't see much harm in keeping it up. I believe you still had some ongoing development in mind, so perhaps if you are willing, finish that up and release it as the complete 1.69 version. The server was pretty much at the cap for resource limitation anyways? Afterwards you could shift focus over to the EE version and continue development there along with some proper rebalancing. I think people would naturally migrate over then. If that were the case, I think an argument could be made for not transferring the 1.69 vaults over. Before people start tearing strips out of my hide, I'm just putting the suggestion out there, I think it's at least worth discussing if there is some major rebalancing. I am curious as to what are the thoughts on "major rebalancing" are? What are the areas that come to mind with that statement? To be more clear has there been discussions on what things need to be changed for greater balance?

To be more clear has there been discussions on what things need to be changed for greater balance? I'm not part of the dev team, so nothing official like that but the player base does tend to discuss these things quite regularly. There are some classes that I personally think could do with being looked at as well as some items. I'm not big on nerfing things that people are using but with a clean vault start, it's not like it would be hurting people. Elly fighters, bards and sanc cloaks come to mind for things that could do with being brought back in line with other classes or in the case of the cloak, removed entirely. Caster druids could do with some love (something that is far easier with EE from what I understand) as well as other classes and there are attributes on some items that I think shouldn't be tied just to those items. None of this is exhaustive btw, just things that for me come immediately to mind. Really, though, this should probably be done in a separate topic.

I am mainly for keeping the old vault - there is no way I will get my wife to come along playing (or my son for that matter) if it is a fresh start.

I think the problem is more so that it might not get possible to keep our old vault. I would say the majority wants to keep it, but if it's a trade off for EE then happy to lose it and play on the EE server with a fresh vault

Here are some things that come to my mind, but I am not dead set on changing anything or everything either. So it would be a Team/Player discussion if up to me. 1. Drones/Clones. 2. GS Cloak. 3. Too easy to level. 4. Randoms. 5. Puissant Bonus on Shifters. 6. Barbs. 7. Summons. 8. Seasonal Bonuses. 9. Immunity Items. 10. New Forge Stones.

I think keeping the old vault discussion would mainly boil down to whether or not if we can save it or not. If we can't save it, we have to move on without it. I would think you could use the old vault with EE. You could have a DB issue where it might cause problems, but I think Findell could figure it out, if that is what we want to do.
Also we could end up with 2 servers, a EE one and a v1.69 one. Then one needs a new empty vault in my opinion.
I could be wrong, but I don't see the players/team voting to scrap the old vault if we have it to use.

Maybe start a new topic with more details on the changes you would have in mind? As an example, you say summons but do you mean standard spell summons, class based summons (I'd still love a fix for BGs) summons from items? and buff/nerf/change?

Should post this in here while I remember, but haste boots in arakan was level 12 required, when it was always lvl 11, so pretty sure this is a mistake
