@GOD Wille Implenting the "shared exp bonus on team hunt" in the past was a good idea. This to build a more social community and get benefits for putting your time into finding teams such as; handle stronger hunts, being able to defend together against pk, get more exp, more enjoyable and what not?
Not implenting this into this edition is a choice you've made with advice of players. As you can see you've build quite a community during the past 10 years, good job! There have been lots of changes and implementation into your server, things are getting updated, things are being done. Therefor instead of complaining we old community of eloth should say; keep up the good work! As we are still here, playing and enjoying your server.
One thing I would like to see more from you is stepping up as the creator and owner of this server, Kasteria's idea's / thoughts about creating the content/balance you want, Kasteria team should be decisive in this. Feedback and idea's from players are always welcome, but don't forget that you're building your server as how you think it should be. Be confident in the work you're putting out there, keep track and think about the bigger lines, send the complaints to your tutors or whatsoever.
The fact you want to do things good, speak with individual players about things, are being used against you, ignore this, learn from it and move on. It's like lending out a finger, before you know it you lose your whole hand into this 1% community demotivating your craft.
Some things I'm having difficulties with you can think about wether it's a good idea or not;
As I have limited time to play this game everyday (so do my friends and maybe the majority of the community) you want to make the most out of it, as it's hard to play during day with the crowd all over hunting spots, finding teams to hunt together isn't that viable, sometime you can't find any team or you waste your time into finding one and actually start hunting efficiently. Before you know it, the day is over and you made a minimum progress, repeat this for a week,
think about it, you will come to a point that it's no longer enjoyable.
idea's to maybe fix this;
- add stamina bonus exp for those that can only play limited time per day
- expand hunting spots
Another thing I think that Kasteria is missing is newer content. Imagine you've put quite some time into making like lvl 200? You have probably spent tons of hours doing the same thing all over to achieve this. You most likely done everything already. It's not a bad idea to have content to make it feel like the game is just getting started after 150+ . Where you will keep the joy to make lvl's with a reason, able to explore new places, encounter harder mobs, get stronger, fight, battle, whatever.
