Richterm's Retreat Nordock

Epic characters of Nordock! Question. What kind of character are you playing? And the real question now. What area do you go to that challenges you the most? How challenging is it?

Wow...my highest is 30, no help from here! Phoenix and Zarcoff have some, not sure about others here.

How hard are those mobs for you? Do they give you trouble? Is it a question of how may heal pots you have?

My shapeshifter, level 36/37 (it's in there somewhere), has little trouble dealing with most encounters. About the only things that scare me with him are crossing the Glacial Spreads (but I have my ways around that environment!), and anything with Dev. Crit (looking at a certain frosty monarch, mostly). Haven't touched Northern Orcs/Minotaurs enough to test the water, sure as hell am not going to try the Elder Wyrm any time soon.

I think it's mostly because the class versatility makes most encounters trivial, even ones that I really shouldn't be doing alone.

The question is how much can be changed and still have Nordock be Nordock?

My wishlist for Nordock...
*Remove the Weapon Specialization requirements from Dev Crit. It doesn't limit the popularity of the feat, or boost the use of pure fighters as a class as was intended. This requirement only limits the diversity of characters that players want to play.
*Add on to the tailoring, tanning, and tinkering sections of the ats system to make them more desirable
*Add a greater diversity of quality weapons (+4 and +5 with bonus damage), either through the epic store or crafting system. Again the current situation limits the diversity of the characters people want to play.
*I hesitate to say to modify an existing area, because I do not like how some of the revamped areas (do not) flow. However, there are a lot of areas that could be modified to scale up higher and become more visited.
*A good flowing epic level "run" plausible reason for what WILL be repetition. Not killing a named Giant King for the thousandth time. A long flowing, challenging area(s) with a beginning, an end, and maybe a chance of loot.

In short, I like the idea of a server that offers a viable method of play for all classes, at all levels.

He needs his geisha *nodnod* and no you dirty-minded ones out there, before WWII made them into ..... well girls for hire, it was the only profession a single Japanese girl could engage in if she did not wish to marry or her family was too poor for her to marry, they were well educated in many aspects, arts, philosophy, politics, even able to play a rather challenging game of chess... many wealthy men paid just for their company to talk about things their wives were not able to talk about.

No one else wants to chime in and have a say?
