question about NCB (in General)

just one question...

mine is at 122% now....i "think" it was at 166% before....

does it decrease based on PR....the ammount of BA you buy in a certain peroid....the ammout of time since the char was created.....

or is it for some other reason....cause this char i made about 2 weeks ago i think....is at 30k ish PR

here is the answer

i read some of that....and i don't seem to understand....the NCB lasts for 4 months or something....but it does seem to help people that don't have a TON of money to spend on buying BA....isn't it there to let the average player catch up to the guy that does nothing but play CB2 for 24 hours a day since it started....

i joined when CB2 started...or shortly after...been playing a while now...off and on...i check in at least once a week if not three or four times....before i noticed the NCB thing my highest char was at 60k ish PR.

i quit because once i hit 50k (and i was playing often...3 times a day and buying BA) there were ppl with 250k+ chars...i still have fun...i STILL get ppl asking to buy my elven gloves (i had the 4th pair in the game, i think....maybe 3rd)...

but i find it difficult to catch up even playing once or twice a day with the NCB

The trick is to only start a NCB char when you have the cash for it. The longer you wait with starting a NCB, the higher the bonus will be, so there's no point to rush to Manage Characters right now... continue with your old char, with only 1 thing in mind: make money.

"but i find it difficult to catch up even playing once or twice a day with the NCB"

You're correct in that, and that's exactly like it is supposed to be. Two things are essential for reaching the top:
- A good understanding of the game, so you know how to develop your character as optimal as possible.
- Be very dedicated. A severe case of insomnia really helps in this game...
