You know games usually don’t, but off the top of my head I can’t think of a good reason not to. It’s hard for me to believe that someone would be like “YES, the secret forumla, I will now start up my own competitor to Forumwarz.”

I’ll ask at our next Crotch Zombie meeting and see what the other guys say.

A big reason nobody posts their formula is because it encourages everybody’s build to be exactly the same.

It’s not as if that doesn’t usually happen anyways, but with or without the formulae I can see myself spending the dough to redo my character two or three times to see what effect high amounts of certain stats do for me.

We talked about giving out the new formulas last night and basically agreed with this. It might ruin the fun for some players to know exactly what magic is at work behind the scenes.

Also, the formulas aren’t too hard to figure out if you work at it, so you could consider it a bit of a challenge (although in the rebalancing some forumlas take into account more variables).
