Hey, everybody! I've got a couple quick questions regarding rocks that were mined before the system was revamped.

First of all, why is it that the rocks weren't taken into account, added to one's experience points?

Secondly, is there anything that can be done about it now?

I realize that I'm a little late with this, as it has been awhile now, and I'm sure that this question has likely been posed before. For that, I apologize.

But, in response, I should note that I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who's recently taken up Ol' West again, after a hiatus of about, gosh, ten or eleven months. A rather lengthy amount of time away from our beloved, I know. I don't know how he managed.

Also, another thing worthy of being noted, he's got about 21.5k rocks mined, so we're not exactly talking little numbers here. Imean, if it were just a few hundred, or even thousand, I doubt either of us would care a whole lot. I wouldn't. But, it is a fairly sizable amount, so it'd be cool if he could get the deserved levels.

I've instructed him to contact one of the admins about it to see if they could offer any assistance, or point him in the direction of someone who can, which he has done.. only to be "ignored." Now, they could have been busy with another matter, inactive, I don't know. That's just what he told me.

Still, the issue's gone unattended. That said, I figured I'd give reaching out to the peoples on here a shot.

So, any ideas, or is he out of luck?

Oh, curious.. did anyone else have this issue, after they added XP/leveling? He can't be the only one, right?


Help would be appreciated. Thanks, thanks, thanks!  

Nothing can be done about it now, unfortunately.

It's not possible for your friend/other people to earn the experience points from the rocks they've mined before levels for jobs(mining) were implemented into the game.

Once it came out, everyone would've needed to be on the same level to make it fair.It would've also defeated the whole idea of having a leaderboard for skill levels.

Some can argue that it's not fair for the people who mined loads of rocks - but in the end, their main purpose was to mine rocks, not level up.  

Oh, well, that sucks! He'll be very pleased to hear! XD

Yeah, I guess that makes sense, in a way.

Though, you're right, it could be argued, but I won't bother. Wouldn't amount to anything, right? It is what it is.

At least I tried.

Thanks again, Xenice. G'day and stuff.  

I have 57k rocks mined with the old system and no it doesn't make sense to me that we would get levels/experience for it. We should be happy that the rocks mined counter didn't get reset. Now that I think of it, with the way I mine I could probably get back on number 1 in a month but costs too much time cri  

I respect your opinion, good sir. Thank you for the input!

Anyway, this thread's about served its purpose, so it can be put to rest now, if the forum gods would like.
