How do you suppose they can do this? The only system that i've seen this work is in Guild Wars (the other game, ironic huh?) with the lvl 20 cap.

Well, I assume the formula for damage calculation includes some sort of level modifier . . . not sure if it's linear or quadratic or exponent, but regardless, let's simply damage calcuation into
F=D * L
Where F is final damage, D is the first half of the damage calcuation, and M is the level modifier (where if two character are equal level, L = 100% . . . e.g. they both will do equal damage to each other if they have the same stats.)

Now, simply change
F=D * L

into:

if attacker is player and defend is player
F = D * ( (L + 1) / 2 )
else
F = D * L

This means PvE isn't changed one bit, but balances the level modifier between people of different levels. Instead of a situation where a lvl 30 would helplessly do 50% damage vs a lvl 40 who's doing 200% damage, the lvl 30 would now do 75% damage and the lvl 40 would do 150%. Of course, this can be tweaked, I only took 30 seconds to think of it - but in that case, I'm sure paid game developers can do better with the time they have. ;x Also, this doesn't at all negate the point of levels - the higher level still would have an advantage, just not a stupidly unfair advantage like they would before.

Edit: Gave it a little thought, and actually, something more like F = D * squareroot( M ) would probably be even better. There you go, 5 minutes of work, OnsOn Soft should now implement it and pay me 100k for using my formula ^_^

But what if we were randomly declared on?
Honor could have already been thrown out considering theres nothing preventing 8 guilds to wage a war on 1.

At that point, ask any other respected guild to help you out. I'm sure most of them on here would - I know for a fact Symphony would in a second.

Although hopefully it counts, since Symphony is apparently a super newb guild . . . which is certianly news to me
