Sweet! I never got exalteds as rewards anyway! ;)

This should help hold the value of the higher currency items, not that it ever had problems before...

Divines seemed a bit wobby but that could have just been due to their relatively low frequency of trade ><

Edit: Should have used a sliding scale so that the multiplier for the highest levels was lower than that for the lower levels, e.g. instead of 9-117 maybe 15-78.
99% of suggested changes would make the game easier. Thats why only 1% of suggested ideas are even worth considering.

Well we saw the death notification, but it was all in white. Could it be a different colour from normal chat so we dont miss it and have to scroll up after everyone spams RIP?
So a huge currency giveaway starting at 00:00 local time... Eh, no thanks. Do at least once a EU friendly race, seriously...

I second this. But I probably take part in this race anyway. Usually I can go to bed before the HC race ends, if you know what I mean...

Yea NOT participating in this, MORE SOLO ONLY RACES PLEASE.

It's just stupid to play, pointless almost when premade groups of five 1 of each class are clearing level 15 in record time while every other solo shadow/duelist/ranger tries to get a fraction of that level in the same time... and loses...soo much fun GGG let me tell you

Party event, good time, perfect!

Thanks for continuing to run, and improving, these races -- despite having no obligation to do so.

It's too bad every race thread has to fill up with the same complaints over and over.
