Revamp low level instances

I personnally think that this game came up with great content over the pas years and lots of it is not ran anymore. A great way to bring lots of those old instances back to life would be to make a revamped version of them, kinda like what they did with Ice Darf Kingdom or VN. Scale the mobs/boss up and give rewards that will encourage people to run them (new gear, rare recipe/mats/currency, even some GM food could be nice). If the reward is great the instance can have a CD like the level 55 instances to prevent farm. I think this would be a fairly low cost way of releasing more than one instance every patch. Maybe have 1 new instance and 1 or 2 instance revamped every patch, this would also give player options when it come the time to run stuff instead of grinding the same instance 4 month straight. Wider variety of things to do will help retain players between the patches.

Everybody i talked to about this tought it would be great so i decided to come on the forum and throw it out there.

I completely agree. It would give some spark back to some older, and newer players alike for the old stuff that doesn't seem to even be remembered anymore. The earlier instances were very fun, had good feel and atmosphere to them. Back when, for example, Kalin Shrine or even Cyclops Stronghold were the best of the best, they were great fun!

I really think it would be a treat for us to re-live some of our old memories from when we were newbies, in the current set of the game as far as gear and levels go. Sure, we could always make yet another alt and run through them like that and blah blah. But when you ran those instances back then, you barely had ANY of your character truly unlocked. Barely scratching the surface of the game and depth your character could become and really let loose in full on boss fights, etc. Revamping the old instances to challenge the later game geared players for some fun, maybe some newer loot, whatever have you, would bring back a lot of fun in my opinion, instead of peat and repeating the same last instance over and over.

great idea sylar +1

also- revamp siege rewards- potentially 100 phirus shells for winning, 20 for losing?
- 50k exp and trash gear is not worth anything, and eventually winning doesn't matter- i was part of a guild who won 50+ days in a row, got to 30k siege rating and every1 quit the game cuz it wasn't fun anymore

must obtain X merits to count so people dont bring alts in and do nothing

Oh I agree with this idea! we already run the lower instances just for our lowbies but it would be awesome if the endgamers had more rewards to look forward too as well. the interesting thing we noticed about drops in those instances are the blue and purples are almost always Overdura now.. something we would have killed for back in the day!

revamping

i was thinking more like Ruins of the dwarven kingdom, which is both a level 35 and level 50 instance. Imagine dod as a 65 instance, or zs and hodl as 70 instances. That would be fun!

yes, it does need to keep getting bumped. personally, I love this PoM event in particular because it is forcing the newer players into old instances. last night in WC there were people asking for the chef strat and talomo strat.

POINT! since this POM event started I have people who quit 2 years ago, comeing back and we are having a blast in the old instances, and hilariously, I died in HOTO hahaha.. now THAT was worth the trip =) That made everyone sit up and take notice, we needed to watch our peas and Q's . STILL . WA even gave a bit of a fight, makes it worth the trouble actually, knowing you cant waltz through there every time , that the odds might still smack you down haha, and the lowbies were having the time of their lives, getting OD gears for their level. Thanks ROM<3

Oh and Cike, I just have to say, my finger just quivers when it passes over your POINTLESS LINK NOT WORTH CLICKING ..but I resist the dark side... so far MUWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
