Does monster ramping still exist?

[HumanSteak]

I remember when Thothie disabled monster ramping, he said something like it could be activated again via a command, so is there one or monster ramping was utterly destroyed?
I'm one of those who loved monster ramping and I would like to play with it on.
But if it doesn't give extra exp anymore, nevermind What I liked the most about it was more challenge, more exp and more "omfgs".
Also, in case it could be activated, a command to "simulate" certain degrees of the ramping would rock (for my listen server, in case nobody would make a monster ramping server)
I miss the old Ara days with ramped monsters coming from everywhere :roll:.

I always liked the idea of Monster ramping, just always applied in the worst possible ways. I think 'mini-bosses' should use Monster ramping, like the minions in Ovenwicard.

*Bump, Thothie please answer my question

Damnit, you are ruining my fun of listening to J-M b*tch about monster ramping when it’s been disabled for over four months!

*sigh* I do miss the monster ramping on some maps (Cleicert, in particular, which was made with it in mind), but there were a few issues with it. At the moment the system is completely disabled to reduce lag on monster spawn. I hope to bring it back with a more intelligent code-side system sometime, but my hands are pretty full as it is.

I would just make it a server-side option, but like Shurik3n said, people would use it to farm XP from low-level maps, where the monsters are all one-hit-wonders regardless of how ramped they are, so it has to be worked out to only function on certain maps, and only with a certain number of HP present.

I agree, it should only be activable on some high level maps, just to increase the challenge and exp for those who need both .
Anyway if you're gonna remake the monster ramping in a better way I'll be happier .

Might I remind you what April's updates will be themed on? ;-)

We get a sneak preview in March >_>
