Your skill bonus increases

Yoshi-p said again that he just going to lower it down not take it away maybe he change his mind by 1.18 i remember him saying he going to take it off then he switch it to lower it down.

and what will happen to the surplus we have ? transfer it back to skill point >.> ?

They will abolish the surplus for good. Its at letter's schedule. But they will also "adjust" the SP (read "lower the SP". Adjust is never used in a positive way =P) so i'd assume we actually will have a fulltime rank1 surplus when its removed...over time people might just forget how high was the SP (just like they already did regarding how were local leves after the first SP balancing) prior adjustment.

I'm fine with it tho. It was one of the very few points that had annoyed me since beta so IMO its about time for surplus to begone! ^^

Thought they were gonna just rename it to rested xp only?

I hope not, if SE renames it again instead of removing it I may be forced to start murdering kittens. =/

(Please, think of the kittens!)

I'm really tired right now, both in general as well as specifically with SE for trying to spin fatigue in a positive light. Stop it. Seriously, just stop trying to make it seem like a good thing and get rid of it already.

Or the kittens get it, see?

Rested SP seems to be a bonus they give to people who haven't logged in for a while rather than taking away from everyone else like happens now. The idea is the same, to help casuals keep up but it works out better for the hardcore because instead of punishing you to help them, it just helps them. At least that's how I understand it will work.

Indeed. Rested XP is a very good system that just convert the tome you're offline into XP bonus. In Dragonica you receive 1% of TNL per hours offline. If they use similar system here, it would be like this: If you need 10000 to lv up and stayed 1hr offline, then the next 100 xp (1% of 10k) you receive will be doubled. Obviously the have a cap of 100% TNL so the max you can store is 100hrs of bonus. Also, there the bonus only happened for those that logged in cities, which makes sense...the person is supposed to only really rest well in thor home, only this way being able to fully revigotares their strenght and going out with "200%" energy. ^^

This system, IMO, beat surplus mechanic down as hard as Mike Tyson would in his golden times, because instead of penalty for those who can play too much, it offers bonus for those who can't being able to keep pace with the others.

I really like the idea that only if you rested in your home/mog house. +1
