    I remember Ariant PQ from back in the day, damn it sure was a fun PQ. But, what makes me kinda sad is after level 30, you can't do it on here anymore.
    Can it possibly be extended or even remove the level limit, so anyone can enter and do it?
    Just like, I would say, Kerning PQ. I saw a level 130 or so Night lord doing it, I dont see why that PQ has no level limit but Ariant PQ has a level limit.
    Actually, making all PQ's, not just Ariant PQ, without a level limit - sounds to me atleast, like a good idea.
    I mean, unless, there's something I'm missing?
    Thank you.

    I'd like to see other PQs level limit removed, to some extend it could help low level players to start a run, as currently except CWK PQ & Amoria PQ, all other PQs are pretty much dead.

    Howerver Ariant PQ and Carnival PQs 1&2 are fairly competitive, it would be unbalanced to have high levels in, examples as
    1) Mages spamming ultimates in Carnival PQs or simply any overpowered high levels versus unfunded low levels;
    2) High level characters in Ariant PQ 1 HKO Scorpions when what they need to do is lowering Scorpions' HP and capture them to recieve points. It is TBH, close to impossible for high levels to win in Ariant PQ, unless they place the bomb, and others got stuned will drop "Gem of a Soul" and high levels can grab them(although I don't know if bomb is full-functoinal in royals), but Mages or Drks do can ruin the game by eliminating all Scorpions forcely making it a draw to everyone.

    Even with the idea implemented, IMO not much of high level players gonna have their passion in these low level PQs lasted too long.I doubt there would be a way to keep high levels onto these PQs without some overpowered buff, which definitely would break the oldschool gameplay (Nexon remade most of PQs to high levels with increased EXP, buffed monsters, and overpowered potions&equips rewards, but that was merely a way to boost the progress of reaching the endgame, not healthy for a game in the long term). Most likely to me, it still gonna be hard to find PQ partners even this idea gets put in work, might be good at first, won't stay too long though. Problem is less new players joining and more old players quiting, it is a thing for all private servers nowadays, but that's just another topic to talk about.

    Yea removing level limit of Carnival PQs would be bad - as Rombots and Vikings give lots of EXP

    Yeah, I agree that on some PQ's, removing level limit would cause a big problem, like the Carnival PQ you mentioned. Maybe the same problem would happen with Ariant PQ if Ariant PQ's level limit was removed, so maybe my suggestion isn't a 100% appropriate one, but I didn't mean it to be that way, just want to discuss and share thoughts, and maybe something comes out of it.
    Can you guys think of a PQ that currently has a level limit - and by removing the level limit of that PQ, it wouldn't ruin things and wouldn't cause any problems? I can't think of one because I'm new here, and I don't know the level limits of all the PQ's on this server.

    I don't PQ much so my info could be wrong, correct me if so

    Currently level capped PQ should be Ariant, Ludi Maze, Orbis PQ(s)

    Not sure about Pirate PQ

    I'd be in favor to remove the level limit of these partyquests, aside from lmpq and cwpq, since they give somewhat big amounts of experience if you farm in those expiditions.

    For Ariant PQ, I believe they capped it to prevent "free" wins by muling

    For Orbis & Pirate PQ should be fine to uncap? (Just my opinions)

    Ariant PQ apparently gives different levels of EXP from 21-25 and 26-30. Perhaps make it so you can only verse someone within like 10-20 levels of you? And give EXP proportional to that?

    I also hate that people would probably trade wins to maximize everyone's gains, because that removes all the fun out of what was probably the most competitive PQ, despite being only for 21-30 back in the day. There probably needs to be a way to prevent wintrading, but I can't think of one. The only suggestion I can think of is that you'd get the chair by playing a certain number of games while maintaining a specific win ratio, which is probably a bad idea.

    It would be dumb to add a restriction level only for APQ, when you could possibly multiclient with CWPQ. Regardless of it, people will always find a way to cheat the system.
