This server isn't shit because of the end game.
It's shit because new people have nowhere to group, and no people to group with. FFA is garbage, and the only reason this thread seems pro FFA is most people have already left.
This is a ghost town box except for the high end scene of hardcores that were willing to dedicate a minimum of 15+ days into their toons. That's a real low ball number by the way, and I'd be disgusted to see the real no lifers playtimes.
This box pure and simple isn't fun. The only fun of this box is attempting to make the other side rage enough to quit the game - and I just don't see that appealing to a broad audience, ever, and basically only assholes like me or worse enjoy doing it.
Teams creates another dynamic of safety and teamwork. Casuals have their place, lowbie have their place, and hardcores can still do hardcore things. FFA's there's only room for hardcores - the rest die off. I've seen it so many times before on other EMU'S and the only reason Rallos was successful was because of hardcore player enforced anti PKing.
I have seen FFA play out over and over, always the same - except Nihilum doesn't get bored, and Nizzar is life dedicated, making it even more stagnant. At least normal people take breaks and have real lives.
TLDR = this box is shit, if you say you have fun on here, it's probably because you griefed someone - teams in my personal opinion appeals to more people, and creates a safety net for bluebies who enjoy some pvp to be able to join.
