Problems with this server from a new players perspective

Creating an inviting environment for new players shouldn't come at the expense of alienating established players.

Deployment of new content, and I'm working under the assumption that means PoHate, Temple of SolRo & Sky, should really have very little impact on what happens (or in this case, doesn't happen) in the newbie zones.

I agree on that.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Kunark which would be brutal given the size of zones + current pop. Things have to be fixed in between now and then.



Also: Nihilum could break up and start killing eachother since they have no real competition anyway. JUST AN IDEA.

I would rather see players fighting over zones/items than players solo-grinding NPCs on a pvp server. The exp rate still requires a 150+ hour investment right now to even get in-range to the bulk of the servers' players.

Think about that and you guys tell me if you have a better solution.

There is going to be a trade-off either way so long as there are like 60 people playing. I'd fucking love to see low-mid level PvP here but it is a pipe dream even if there were ~200 players active. You need 500+ for that.

And even if you have 500, with XP death you would bleed population even faster, since there would not be any place to hide from the numerous twinks deleveling people.

So if magically we had a box with 500 players today, with 40% old players, how do you think the rest of the 60% would react when fighting gangs of twinks they have no hope of beating and losing experience on a harsh pve grind? They would quit is my bet and box would be down to 100 in a couple of weeks again.

As it is right now, at least you can try to crawl under a hole somewhere and level in peace, because there is nothing to gain except grief from pvp if you are new on this server because you will lose 90% of the times to twinks.

At least if there is no xp loss in pvp it can be fun (for a while) to attempt to kill hard twinks. Like ive been saying. For the past 5 months.

Not going to avoid posting in thread #104928348 crying about experience because it's already increased.

Cry harder.

You've posted the same thing about 15 times now.


Can you shut the fuck up yourself, or do we need to start reporting your posts again?

Report my posts, cry about me in IRC (oh you can't, you're banned)

What you won't see me doing is crying because XP is slow on a server with increased XP.

haha I've had this discussion. If I were altruistic I'd join another guild just to help keep the server alive, right?

But I'm not. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Incorrect. Lack of new content will continue to slowly drive away those who currently play; introducing new content will bring back some of those who have left due to boredom.

new content, aka plane of hate / plane of sky, will just bring more nihilum back, which will only exasperate the end game issue this server has.

Lolz. Will never happen. This isn't VZTZ, where guilds that farmed raid mobs uncontested eventually got bored and either started killing each other or stopped playing until some competition sprang up.

However, with the lack of substantive GM communication (and new content), I could see the 'stopped playing' thing happening in the near future. Like Holocaust, Nihilum has just as much turnover w/ their original members. People get geared, realize there's no fun PvP going on, and lose interest.

Is your goal to create a server where there is a healthy balance of players spread out along the leveling curve? Because if it is, then starting in on the guild bashing only discredits what you say.

If you can't see beyond the tag that hangs above your head, or mine, or any other player's, then there's no point in having any discussion at all.
