their is a few bugs that cause it to crash, other then that its a awesome server. when you have them completely fix, maybe the ones that left will come back.
I do need a GM's help as soon as possible on there.
its a new game with bugs, like any games. for example day z h1z1, all fun to play with, but takes time to get everything you just mention. he can't build it just around you. he has to build for the lazy people. then for the people like my group of friends that just enjoy the excitement of exploring. plus I m sure he doesn't have 100% time to spend on this. as far as I see, when ever he is available he is on working, fixing bugs, answering peoples problem. I watched fix several today. plus one of my own. you just need to get over yourself and go play noxious or something that seems more your style. screw the effects on mounts. its just something to do other then wondering aimlessly killing creatures for no reason. its just fun, to keep you busy. as far as the pet goes. mine is working great at grims. I can heal it and me, while 2 to 3 grims are on me. btw I m only level 140 on there doing this. again if you need it easy this really isn't the place for you. if you can't move your hands fast enough to heal your pet. you obviously didn't start tibia before 8.0 so you need your bot.
.... and your stuff you say and type, its hard to keep focus on it. when you come back to flame me, please get straight to the point and don't make me waste 10 minutes reading. we don't need a build up. just the problem.
I'm honestly working as hard as I can to make the server more fun and enjoyable for everyone, yet, this is a task that actually requires heavy tought and time, we will get there, I guarantee it, but as @Michaelb09 says, I can't build the whole server around the opinion of 4-5 players.
Some of the things you say @Deadbringer are based on the idea that everything should be easy and quick to get, amazing items "donation-like" as you keep saying, without having to actually grind and work hard to get them, I'm not AIMing for a server that will run out of content for the people in a single month because everything is easy to get, and that's mainly what you ask, yet tho, I'm working on adding content to make the leveling up to be worth it, but that doesn't mean that I will make everything easy, I'm not going to make the bosses to be killable in 2 minutes by 5 persons and give them 10 levels each and drop exotic loot just like that, that's not how it works.
Anyway I really take into consideration everyone's opinion, I will add and improve some of the things you mentioned, I promise that, but as you've told me before, I can't just add and change everything you say, give the server some time and I'm pretty sure everyone will like it even more.
I won't take the server off anytime soon even if we have 20 or less players online, I will work on this everyday until I reach the goals that I'm AIMing for, the server will become way more stable and fun and will soon have much more things to do and grind for, just don't expect gigantic changes every single day.
Maybe, just maybe, when my goals regarding this subject are good and runing, I might re-launch the server, but first I would need to figure out a way to make that process fair for the people who already invested time and money on this server, we'll see.
LoL...lazy people. Playing everyday for 2 weeks at a 8h-12h a day rate is lazy? Getting to lvl 300 is lazy? What you seems to not understand is that it lacks custom thing..donation like thing. Im not asking for a copy of the donation item. Yet ive donated a solid 50$ just myself. So you just cant say I want everything for free. PLus take into account all the hours I spend, which is probably a 150hours. But do as you wish. Its dying and wont get better seems a lot of people don't join a server with lvl 350 running around. Another good map going in the dust bin due to lack of creativity and innovation. Im playing this ruthless server. Its just way better then your server and if you check hgis donation and just from the few friend I have playing the donation keep coming. Lots of minor custom item ingame like stuff giving 10health or sht like that,be creative while those item takes maybe2 min to added and don't ruin anything balanced wise. But yeah w/e,Im giving up on this.
Players: 12
its already under 20 and we used to have 50. So as the creator of this you should ask yourself why the fuck its going down.
Cant you like,buy prepaid visa card or mastercard in a shop and then use paypal like a normal person does? That's what I used to do when I had no credit card to my own a few years ago(10+)I think players should know that getting to lvl 200 is easy at this server. So they dont go like "Shit, there's a lvl 344 im not playing this."
But I really think the exp should go down a bit, add more challenging but rewarding stuff (I know there already is some challenging stuff but not as rewarding as it should be)
But anyways, I like the server, the only thing I dont like is the donator stuff because I cant donate if there is no SMS system
I cant do that here, I'm from Venezuela so no prepaid creditcards or anything we get a limit of 300$ you can spend online every yearCant you like,buy prepaid visa card or mastercard in a shop and then use paypal like a normal person does? That's what I used to do when I had no credit card to my own a few years ago(10+)
Indeed, you are not the first one who suggest this and in fact I've been talking with some of the players and they agree on a fresh start, yet tho, the server isn't ready for a fresh start just yet, I'm still developing content that needs to be added and tested before making a reset and going full advertising once again.This server is good, I really have a good time playing here!
The only problem I find its ppl, it has too little players...its always 3-15, and in the best hour of a sunday it might reach 25 for a few hours. I think it could do a lot better!
To be honest, I would restart it and go hard on advertiseing it. A fresh clean start is in order. Its hard to get a lot of player now, if it had a decent count ppl might keep joining, but when ppl see a server with such a low population and high lvls its not atractive (even if u can reach those lvls fast, they dont even bother trying). And the ones who play now I doubt they will stay for much longer if they dont see ppl coming, its turns boring to always see the same 15 ppl around...
Most of the high lvls already quitted or barely play, and I'm sure the ones who still do will understand a restart is needed (as long as they can keep donor stuff). Its hard to take the hit, but its better on the long run.
Yes u will lose some players but you will gain a lot more.
Dont take this the wrong way, I'm not trolling here or bitching the server, on the contrary...just want whats the best for the server.
