Question about server

[Aeolian]

Shin Wrote:My question is, what constitutes AFK leveling? My main class is biochemist so I will be using a homunculus. If I leave my homunculus to level while I go grab a drink and a GM just so happens to test me, does that constitute as afk? Or is there a time limit?

Also does @autoloot work with homunculus killing or does the actual character have to be involved with the kill?

In the situation that you pose, I'm not sure if there's an actual time limit to constitute AFK levelling. I'm supposing it depends upon the GM checking up on you. If you fill yourself up like a camel while your homun does its thing, I'm guessing you would get banned since the logical thing to do in light of the rule is to stash your homun away while you attend to other things. However, the GMs are not unreasonable. I'm sure (okay, not really) that if you contact them minutes after you get banned for AFK levelling, you could get unbanned.

Regarding @autoloot, anything your homun kills will drop the items right into your inventory. Your character does not even have to budge.

shin Wrote:My next question is donations. I tried to look around on the forums but I don't see a list of donation items. Mainly I'm just curious as to if sunnies[1] or other overpowered items are purchasable. I personally am not a fan of such options.

Donation items here are chance items. Meaning if you donate real money, you only get items that give you a CHANCE at valuable goodies. Like OCAs, etc although enriched ores are provided as well. There is a list of donation items on the heRO Wiki. Sunnies [1] and glasses [1] DO exist here, but not as donation items. They exist primarily because of the Hatter NPC, which is an NPC you can go to to initiate the hatter quest. The chances of getting slotted mids are at around .10 if I'm not mistaken.

shin Wrote:How is BG / WoE at the moment?

I'm not sure I can answer this appropriately since I don't know how WoE was in your previous server. The answer to this is subjective. You should try and see it for yourself. However, I personally think that WoE here could be improved.

shin Wrote:How many active players are there usually. Do not include the autotraders, I am interested in the actual unique IP players online.

The number fluctuates depending upon the season. Right now, I'm guessing around 200-300 people?
