Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Selfies would mean "self buffs" which are quite decent assuming i'm an OL.
My jewels are +3 and they are just more than enough since there is not any competitive mage player to make me even consider OEing my jewels, so shadow or not this will make a huge strike to epics value on the server (which is quite the one of few left tbh - I still don't poses full kit of those goodies while I’ve been playing more than a year already). 
If admin wants donations - he might just think of making some events. A nice example would be some instance available once a day per PC, the instance would give some nice unique stuff (preferably cosmetical - like making your set look like some nice other, including those new from GoD). The idea is you could buy via donations only non-passable tickets to renew the inst for your PC. There are so many things to do if you can make your imagination work. This would though surely take a lot of time.
But first things first. The online honestly sux. Dragging new people to the server may just work as fine as a good donation source. But I've got an impression that the admin either does not possess with any spare time to help the server survive or has no will to.
My gear is shitty. And I still do not consider pvp as something impossible or boring. There is always a chance for me to win no matter how the opponents’ gear is OEd. And I strongly believe, that whining on forum about being incapable of making competitive plays, instead of going and farm some stuff would not help you at all.
The mass pvp might happen during raids (tez, bai) and sometimes during the tw. The community there is nice, really. I do enjoy simply logging in and having a nice chat with those I know. And the community, I believe, makes it's best to help out the new guys, helping with lvling, gearing up, buffs, having a nice conversations etc.
This might just be a "daddy, come back" syndrome, but really, Ignis, y u no even try and do smth...

My gear is shitty.

except +16 vesper singer xD

We can talk a lot about what to do, but it will not change anything till Admin makes up his mind to do something.

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Dude, Im not whining about making competitive play in Oly, pvp, or anything at all. Im talking about the majority of people that WON'T bother because whats the point? Your +16 visage is shitty gear btw? Why does everyone here personalize everything? I am speaking in general about the server. I'll fight you in Oly, just register when im doing oly, simple as that. If i don't have time or something else going on I'm not going to blow off my real life things so I can register when YOU guys want to do it. How selfish is that? I sat in register for 2 days almost 90% of the time to get exactly ZERO matches. As it stands this server needed TR i think. I don't blame them for leaving tho either from the things I've heard. Telling the "noobs" to register for oly only 30min left? Isn't that what people complained about TR doing? Talking trash? No class? From what I've heard from multiple sources you guys got butthurt they took your castle with an alt clan and cried to the gm's to intervene, gm's mass para TR so they couldn't scribe, you wonder why they left? We all planning to just sit and pve all day here? To what end? From where I sit, the real issue with the server is some of the so called "veteran" players. A title that just means you been around here longer, and now the server is in a huge decline. Way to go "Veterans"

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

I tried getting my american clan to come here to play. Overseas ping was the majority reason most wouldn't come, plus they read some of the issues in the past and decided against it. They are playing on some other interlude server, not sure what the name was, nor would I post it here. I want people to come HERE, not over there with them lol! Also who is going to donate to a private server for random loot chances? You need to have specifics they can donate for and shadow epics would at least give them a chance. Aio buffers would at least get new players rolling in the right direction. Also epics are waaay overpriced here. Aq on official goes for 3-400kk. Zaken same price. Baium 1.5kkk. Antharas and valakas only two that are over 2kkk, and this is at 1x drops/rates. 10kk for a element stone? they go for 4kk tops on official. AA 20+per, they go for 3-4a official. This servers economy is inflated and it makes no sense to me. With less demand and higher drop/spoil/quest reward amounts it should go the other way around.

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Plus the fact my old clan doesn't want to come and put in the time to get geared up and roll just to have some certain clans cry and punish them for their cooperation and teamwork, because they might lose. Some take this thread and my ideas/comments as I'm talking about myself specifically. I've gotten geared up. I've got a few epics now. I've almost got my buffers done and rdy to be nobled. This is more for new people that maybe want to do some activities, but stay out of it or ignore the server completely and go somewhere else.

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Also, in Oly, open pvp, whatever. The players I have killed, EVERY single one of them has cried to me about it like a punk kid. Not everyone can be winner man, it's just not how the world works. Hakamata is the only player i have fought that didn't whine or moan about it, and I didnt even kill him/her. We BOTH had to bsoe cuz we had mobs beating our ass LMAO!

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

We all know my rights here are extremely limited, but I can say that I'm currently working on this months event so hopefully it will be active soon.

I've also got a couple of ideas that I hope Ignis and I can get in the works ASAP.

You guys aren't being ignored, but we're low staffed here and can only get so much done at a time. As for adding more staff, there are reasons GMs come and go so quickly and I'm not getting into that but I'm still here whenever I can be.

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Seraphicas..  You got some parts of that story wrong. TR got frozen cuz they took more than 1 castle, and wanted to get ALL of them. And then, try and give a new clan to chance and get it. Which wont be possible, cuz they'd smash them. That would seriously disbalance the server. I agreed on that point, that such an act wasnt real nice, but had to be done ( from GM point of view). About prices. Retail adena rate is 1x, here its 15. Means you get 15x more adena than there. OFC the prices are higher. Plus, since making money is easier here, the prices went up.. I 'd like them to be lower, however. EWS used to cost 10-20kk, not 70-100kk per piece. BEWS - 500kk=700kk, not 2,5kkk. AQ ... 1,5kkk-2kkk. Dat price is actually close to same now as it was before. There is no objective price for baium, though. Element crystal price is ridiculous thou ,and stones are hard too. That is just because no body really farms those. The only player i know of, that farmed them, is nasty and granwarlod, or whatever was the right name..

Re: Low Population..some thoughts

Yeah it's cool guys. I'm not going to suggest or try to get anyone motivated for changes anymore. Also im talking about supply/demand. When demand is high prices are high to make profits. when demand is low prices drop to encourage buying. But it doesnt apply here since it's like what? 30/40 of us. Im probably going to go join my friends on the server they are playing on. Was good to meet some of you and I enjoyed my time in game. All my items will be returned to those that helped me out and much appreciation to those that did. I cleared out my morning thinking tw would be at 9am for some stupid reason, brain fart! Busy this afternoon. Got my nieces living with me now, along with my own 2 yr old so time is sparse for me to play. While im logged in most times im not at my pc so people get butthurt at me for not responding. Ping is bad for me here, although not TOO bad, but it is usually 130-150. Sucks as I really enjoy the server for the most part. I offered to GM and quit playing the game and just full time gm, but never got any response back on it. Gl to all that are playing here and I hope it turns around for ya.
