If they ever allow a charcopy to mordred I could see the population hitting a huge surge . Otherwise its a lost cause.

For those of you having difficulty with the "No" option in the poll, I've busted out my calculator for you.

[20%] Yes. Wipe the server, everyone starts over new, and remove /level 40. (3 votes)
[80%] Yes. Enable character copying from other server. (12 votes)
[00%] Yes. Change/revamp the PvP ruleset. (0 votes)

Overwhelming people in favor of saving Mordred like being able to copy their characters.
Oddly despite some people saying they think Mordred PvP ruleset needs changes, those people didn't vote or still like character copying more I suppose.

The FreddyHouse poll added an option I didn't include. Making Mordred a SI/OF server, over there it got 3 votes over the 2 votes charcopy or server wipe got.

Neither of the selections, “Wipe the server, everyone starts over new, and remove /level 40.” and/or “Enable character copying from other server” would save the server. They would only slightly breath a bit of life back into the server before it quickly died again.


If Mordred could be saved, the only way to save it would be to “Change/revamp the PvP ruleset.” But this option would require effort be put into Mordred, effort that in all of Mythic’s 10 years Mythic has never, ever put forth. Given Mythic’s track record toward Mordred, imo it is unrealistic to think that Mythic would put forth the effort to save Mordred at this point.


Because of the reality of the situation, imo the only viable answer is “No. Mordred can’t be saved.”


If the question is, “Would one of these changes get you playing Mordred and if so, which change?” Then my answer would be, “Change/revamp the PvP ruleset.”. Mordred is dieing because of some of the rules Mythic allowed/created/coded. Without a change to the rules nothing will prevent Mordred from dieing.

You mischaracterize the vote slightly.
I see no particular evidence that people in favor of saving Mordred like being able to copy their characters.
What I see is that people in favor of saving Mordred hope that other people will copy their characters.

I also note that the 15 votes that think that Mordred can be saved amount to less than 20% of the total vote.

The people who voted NO, when they posted a reason behind their vote, seemed to be mostly along the lines of "I don't like Mordred, I won't ever under any circumstances play there, and no one should be allowed to play there either because I didn't like it there" If you don't like the Mordred type of play and have no interest in playing there, how does Mordred getting a /copy option affect you? As far as I can see, you wouldn't have to play there, just like you don't have to play on Pendragon.
