i was 1 of the first people to play zot, and for a time was top level on zot. i know the systems well. im not talking huge stats on all items or bunch of stats on Teir items
im talking about 5 Teir items you have equipped maybe getting a really lucky drop or craft and having 1 item that might have 1 additional stat that is just to help u a very little but bragging rights. just a little something to look for when farming. and crafting. you will have to have 7 T3 armors before you can make a T4, but if u got lucky and had 1 of them roll an additional stat that could help you just a little but not be better than T4 by any means. then its something to look forward to when making items. its a system that would be nice to have rather than not have. its not something that could even come close to destroying the server because ur thinking of numbers way to big.
There is a reason top servers and even most bottom servers use systems like this now, its cool. it grabs peoples attention, it adds a level to gameplay, its fresh, its custom even if all others use it, its still a big step into Custom. even if the numbers are small. and exceptionally rare, its still something that would pull players in rather than not having it and being slightly more bland.
we are already taking out the reborn system which is more less the norm now on servers, so when u tone down a server to less and less of the main features that are the hot and the fresh out there, then u get a classic. and how many people play the classics? very few, the vets will play to reminisce of the old times, but the new crowd that you are trying to pull in has less interest in it vs the other newer servers pushing out the hotter content scripts.
but dont get me wrong, i have no doubt deathzot will make it to the 50 players online count daily at times while its new. but even Zot of the past was never a 200 person server and usually had a 20-30 person pop at any given time. its just the little things that count. and when u add in 100 little things then u have a big thing that keeps players enjoying every little turn in the game. just my deeper thoughts on it. and with this i will leave it at Rest as not to start more drama in this thread that is and should be the promotion of a damn good server.
