    Personal pain points that I believe impact overall server quality and longevity of players:

    There are virtually no players who main support classes anymore - everyone already has sws, bd, healers, buffers as boxes which makes social gaming a non-existent culture.

    Any box increase will simply result in further death of the server.

    I would advice to look out into what makes other private servers thrive out there (not going to add a server name to avoid getting banned here but it starts with R). Servers that have no box allowance that have significant online numbers and plenty of party matching requests for every class to be valuable.

    If anything a suggestion that should be considered is to go to 0 boxes, not increasing ghost chars and trains of a few solo drivers... whilst the rest of the server is dead.

    Following up from the other topic opened by Koll on boxes, excerpt:

    1) Increase box limit with Premium Accounts.
    - We don't have it in plans right now. We still want players to be more active during CP farm. 

    Please cast your vote to create and share a more quantifiable sentiment from the players.

    4) Increase level cap to level 80 or higher. 
    - Level 80 will bring drastic changes. Skills like Counter Critical / Song of Purification / Insane Crusher / Servitor Share, will have huge affect on PVP/Olympiad. We want more players (we are thinking about 20/30%) to reach lvl 79 at least. We believe that if more players will reach level 80 together, it will affect PVP/Olympiad less and will be more balanced.

    How is this % going to be tracked?

    Not sure if admins are fully aware what's happening in the Dion right now:
    - Most 76+ players are bored out of their minds creating new chars that further increases the numbers of ghost chars of low leves, or quitting to other servers (sometimes in full on clans/CPs) until an occasional event or update drops in.
    - There are virtually low numbers to no players in any of the low lvl zones (<60lvl). The only active town in the game is Aden where majority of active players run through at least; probably most busy zone to farm is BS only. All other areas either breezing with bots or a brave player who has not seen any other players in days...

    Just some signals to consider that a couple of problems should be addressed: 1) high lvl caps, 2) growth for low lvl zones. We somehow focus only on end game without considering that most players are leaving out of boredom or because there aren't anyone else to play with.

    How is this even part of the consideration?

     We also have in plans to make automatical mini events ( system to start them was also written by scripter to start this event ). We also rewrote rewards for Dion event which will include better rewards and special one for lower level players

    This is a good to hear note. We do badly need variety however small or large. Ideally a mix of small and large.

    What they refer to is the drop not updating the inventory - sometimes you need to restart the clien tfor item to show as it leaves an empty slot in the inventory. this is hard to show on a video or even a screenshot.

    I had instances where the armour drops, the char picks it up, the chat updates with announcement 'x player picked the boots' but the inventory is not updated. Sounds like the same issue?
