how about an event to attract newbies, like time limited top d weapons, mysterious soulshots/blessed spiritshots d, a few experience scrolls, shit like this that doesnt affect gameplay in the long run. If a new server opened we would have mass suicides in many places around the word, since the first server is going to inevitably die and a shitton of players will lose all the effort they put during these 4 years. I mean who doesn't dream of one day retiring his character and giving away his precious gear to his grandsons so that they can enjoy zaken patch with their friends during launch in 2052
Disagree, I believe much more serious problem is the dualbox locked behind a paywall. Most newbies join during a new patch and the influx decreases over time, yes, but the main issue is that only reasonable way to level basically any char except for summoners is to either A) have a box or B) join a party. Most people don't care to drop 10€ just to "try out" a free server and B) is borderline impossible on early levels, so we ended up in a vicious circle where newbies leave because there're no newbies.
The whole donation system needs to change to enable 1 free window for server to grow. The ammount of people who leave because playing a nuker or destro without a box or party is simply not fun vastly outnumbers the ammount of people who'd potentially leave if there were some kind of +10% XP/SP runes in shop.
its been 4 years?, ya know, 1 of my teammate has a son, he was around 4 years old back there, we had a joke with each other like "man, raise your son and let him drive our BD char", man i think that day is inevitably comming
You guys are so cruel throwing newbie-friendly comments around.
Yeah sure, let's open new server, so that newbies will be able to compete with allies for the first 10-20 minutes at Keltirs.
We will never go back to 2004, snap out of it.
you know what else will create hype in community? well working zaken patch and it doesnt matter that its 4 years old server
people will come and club will have again 2k+ in eu times, they dont need new server, they just need motivation
