Great Divide cost: Intentional?

Rudiki · Post by **Rudiki** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:01 am

Before, there was a choice between going places the free, slow way, or going the fast, convenient way for a price, so people without gold could still go wherever they wanted on Hala and Ysgard, just not as quickly.

I only just recently noticed that whereas before a person could walk across the Great Bridge for free, now a person must pay to go between Hala and Ysgard. This seems to be the only exception to the above. Was this intentional, or was it an oversight?

If intentional, howcome? If oversight, how could it be fixed in a way that makes sense?

Thanks!

Are all proceeds going to the building of a new bridge??

It's intentional. You gotta buy a ticket to use the airship to cross the Great Divide. The Great Divide spans more than a mile in distance, hense being a Great Divide. The original bridge was meant to actually span several miles in distance due to the fact that Hala was always completely removed from the mainland of Ysgard. Making the gold to buy a ticket is fairly easy. Making the gold to buy a permanent pass is a bit more difficult but still not really hard

Grovel has a cut of the action and knows how to milk a monolopy

Well, not really, but he needs to get his finger in that pie!

Is there some way a lowbie collector quest can be put in that gives people a temporary ticket each time they do it? I had heard some lowbies who got stuck on one side of the bridge or the other, cause it is a lot harder to make the money to travel freely when you're low level.

Personally, only one of my characters makes money easily, and the cost of a permanent pass nearly made arcanen broke and would nearly make Lalant broke too.

I must not know the money-making tips.

Free (temporary) ticket quest sounds like a really good idea to me! (Beetles only work on the Hala side, and there's some characters (Lexy) who absolutely wouldn't juice beetles for any reason anyhow.)

Just don't make the ticket quest involve any sewers..

I was gonna bring up the idea of making some FedEx or Collection type quest(s) in other cities, such as Bastion, for those lvl 1s who choose that city to actually start in. Because it's so difficult for a low level to kill anything around Bastion. Mayhaps in the sewers there (sorry Lexy) or something. They need something though imo.

While we are looking at implementing more lowbie quests, especially into places like Bastion, there are already a number of lowbie quests to do dotted about Ysgard so gold is far from impossible to come by.

Off the top of my head I can think of 5 different lowbie based quests/areas all in different (and accesible) areas about the server.. and I doubt that's all of them.

Please remember the servers are forever a work in progress so more content is being added and areas being tweaked all of the time.
