I play on this server for around 2 months more or less, from the first day I wanted to help as much I can to make the server a better place for every1 to be, I did that by reporting every single bug I find & by suggesting ideas for changes that could make the server better/more fun to play, some things got fixed (although after a long time..) some other not yet, some ideas have implemented & that was for the better of the server but what server need is much more than that, I don't know if the GM's is pleased with how things r curently in their server population-wise but I'm sure that players r not.
People still shouting in search of ppl to join events or to join Oly the low population hurt the server & make ppl bored & put thoughts on their mind for quiting(& lot's of ppl quit every day)me including & it's natural because if that's what the best private Freya server have to offer then better search for an active Hi5 server that will offer me much more fun that I "don't" have here due to low population & various other reasons, I'm sure I'm not the only one who think that way, still I had high expectations for this server & really wanted to change for the better, to succeed, that's why I try to be patient & observe how things going w8ing for this important changes server need but never come till now.
Although I might not be here in the coming days playing active I still want to give those friendly suggestions to GM's on this server, what I think the server needs to rejuvanate & attract more & more ppl if things stay as it is right now it's more than obvious that ppl will continue to quit in the future & that doesn't sound very good when population is the way it is right now right? server is dying & something must happen before that happen so here what I suggest GM's can very well ignore it, players might disagree with some of that but if the GM's follow this formula I'm more than certain this will do 1 thing for this server, IT WILL BRING MORE PEOPLE.
1. Increase XP/SP rates to x20, Adena to at least x15 as for Spoil they could make it x15 also or leave it x10 w/e.
2. Put all the buffs (except Kamaels/selfbuffs) from every buffer until Lv79 to npc buffer, this will automaticaly make the server more attractive to all those ppl who can't have a bazilion clients open or don't want to lvl a bazilion buffpets.
3. Make the buffs to last 2 hours.
4. Event vote system (I suggest it many times already) let the ppl to vote what event they want to play as every1 know some events ignored atm such as Last Hero or even Death Match because those have only 1 winner & ppl r not confident enough they can do it or they know they won't get any rewards compare to TvT that their chances to win something r much higher, also more maps for TvT would be nice variety spice things up some times ppl need a change.
5. Events must take place every hour as it is right now I log at 9:00 AM (GMT+2) & I must w8 until 5:00/6:00 PM for an event to start we r talking for 8-9 hours here of no events at all, nothing! & that's really bad why ppl who like to play in the morning can't join events? a vote system for events that take place every hour will fix all those probs.
6. PvE-only mana pots yep I already suggest that a few times & I believe that's of the outmost importance to bring more casters on this server than now have almost none, atm the server is melee-based, the mana pots will also help archers that also I don't see any on the server this server is seriously a melee-only server there is no Nukers no Archers I wonder if any GM thought why, well the answer is this "MP" those classes can't do sh1t w/o MP the PvE-only mana pots would solve all those probs & more Nukers & Archers would start playing on the server.
7. More sites to vote for the server/more advertising/other ways to advertise the server, all that & more just 1 site to vote is not enough other servers have 4-5 server lacking advertising atm.
8. Better geodata, I mention countless time in the past of how bad is geodata on this server with the time it become just a "little" better but still have a long way to go compare to other servers, things r still bery bad chars still stuck on various places, some places r un-clickable like there is no ground & that's unbelievable annoying & in some places we have invinsible walls block our way & we spam arrows on keyboard in order to move through it, & there is also the prob with mobs from wrong places appear in wrong arreas.
9. Heroes every 2 weeks, yep this is something many servers out there do & I think that most ppl would prefer it if Heroes selected every 2 weeks compare to one month, the reason is more than obvious that way ppl will have more chances to get Hero & this will make Oly more active as it is right now ppl join Oly at the start & at the end of the month mostly that's what I have notice, so for the most part Olympiad fights r non existent for one very big portion of the month so Oly stay inactive, if Hero decided sooner the ppl would start join much more compare to now even forced because they won't have much time anyway to complete their matches.
10. Include noble stones to event shop so ppl will be able to buy them with Event Apiga, lot's of ppl have Vesper set but less than 5% of those set r nobless over 90% never unseal their Vesper set in order to open the cloak slot, noble stone farming in Freya is extremely dificult compare to Hi5 I know that it's much easier to get Event Apiga compare to Gold Apiga so the price can be high but at least give them the option to ppl to buy them someway.. at the momment only those who donate or only those who r extremely rich & can spent over 7 billion adena buying enough GA for the 2500 noble stone u need more or less have unseal them.
So that's my suggestions, my plan to rejuvenate the server, if some1 have some nice idea & want to post it go ahead the more good ideas the better, the prob is if the GM's r going to take seriously those ideas & decide to go for it or do nothing & leave the server die slowly day by day.
