Shattered Kingdoms

I thought it would be a good idea to gather a collection of positive changes for game play that might encourage people to return to playing SK.

Happy hour has been around for a while but there are some older players who would have no idea of the 90 min of bonus XP to level with to cut leveling times.
Lump Bonanzas in with that which when there is a global RP event (including Yiggmass etc) there is bonus XP.
Repeatable XP quests to assist with leveling.
Also XP requirements are way lower than way back in the day gone are the days of saving quests until you are champion so you can level

Majorly reduced death penalties that affect your time when leveling. Rez sickness is still a thing but in happy hour most XP loss return to life is turned off. The cost of death quest and raise dead have been significantly changed from back in the day to be less impactful specially for low level characters. The ability to have your tribunal resurrect you for cash also exists.

There are some old old players who might not know about bonus resting/sleeping recovery in capital Inns.

No longer a fatigue with haste and giant strength.

They have been around for a while but the changes for enchanting items made it quicker and similar to finish with that.

Portals in Teron to make some locations easier which helps to get around "timed" entrance requirements.

A good and bad thing is the Anti hoarding code tries to make sure that items are not "stored" this is also an impact of a smaller player base fun items are more likely to actually be found if you go looking. The bad side of it is only so many fun items per character.

Loyalty tokens earnt on one character to be spent on another let you "break" the rules to some level making special race class combs instant mastery of skills can be spent for a rez can be used to re-specialize a merc. With Emails broken this is not great for a returning player as there is a reasonable chance they cant access their old loyalty tokens.

Easier to get into faiths if you can not find a follower no longer need head priest or Imm a high follower can as well as NPC RP to assist ask players for more information.

Forgot the new group code to "advertise your group and objective"

Also Forgot a big one that might encourage some people to return cabal raid system is (temp) suspended.

Shops no longer "close" they just charge extra afterhours.

These are the ones I have come up with having come back after about 10 years of not playing. I am sure there are others that people think is "normal" but is a lot different from back in the day.
