The Problems with empowerment that would be fixed with my idea include, The imms dont see how your char interacts with other players, you generally get to level 10 or less and dont do much. The imms also generally expect too much knowledge from you, when your character is still 'young'... It gets extremely boring logging on and praying all the time, when you really have nothing else you can do. My idea is to first of all, stop frowning on those who level on. Then make empowerment something you need to do to gain certain communes. But you still get some certain communes allowing you to atleast stay alive and level. the number and which communes that require empowerment can be picked in order to stop people making non-roleplaying cleric pkers yet enough to not make you completly useless. Then you can pray when you log on and when you log off like X hours later This also encourages you to roleplay well and not to pk randomly since you know the imm who you seek empowerment could be watching you right now.
and in bewteen you can get eq, level, pk etc. Maybe the imm can even approach you since your on alot more.
