Default Things Still Needing Attention On This Server

Listen, I think we can all agree that global ooc saved this server from having <30 pop at nights, so thank you Lord Rogean for that, even if it came very late. Having said that, there's still shit that needs to be addressed on this server. In no particular order here we go:

Resists: Player base continues to say they don't want a special custom resist system, they want classic. For a server that's built upon being classic, this one is just mind boggling to me. The evidence of what classic was has been documented all over these boards, it's not an issue of can the devs make it classic, it's an issue of they don't want it to be classic.

EXP: Still needs a boost. Day in and day out I see newbies, give them items and plat to help them, never see them again / hear them rage quit in OOC cuz of exp. There's just not enough lowbie pop to have healthy groups, so EXP boost is needed, as a temporary crutch perhaps, to assist them. Get people to the higher levels as fast as possible, 35+, create hot zones, do whatever it takes. This is probably the biggest issue right now. 50's who create alts don't care because they twink and use their guildies to powerlevel. Please address this.

Hybrid Penalty: It's still a joke that groups are penalized for being social. Please remove this penalty from group settings, and at the very least, consider removing hybrid penalties.

Faster Content Release: Classic is boring. This is supposed to be an advanced progression server. Somehow it's slower than blue now. There are tons of people on the sidelines waiting to make iksar necros / monks, etc. There's more stuff to camp, more stuff to do. We need more content desperately.

Yellow Text: Global OOC really calmed down on a lot of the forum BS, because people just do their trash talking in game now. Yellow Text will further cut down on it because what can you possibly say when ur name repeatedly ends upon the right side of the text? (lookin at you mellowyellow) It's exciting, encourages e-peen and PVP, it prevents griefing because it alerts people that pvp is taking place and makes others want to get involved, and oh by the way, every freaking poll for yellow text has had massive support 80%+.

Boxing: Time to reconsider the server policy on boxing. I get why people don't want it on blue, but we should accept the fact that red is different from blue for a variety of reasons and that the issues with boxing on blue don't apply to red. Can we please have a discussion on this?

Server Rules: Still no clear outlined server rules.


Thanks for reading, keep it civil boys.

Here's another issue that needs attention: players having absolutely no clue what's good for the server and ignoring any opinions that contradict their own. I can't even count how many times I've been trolled into writing a long well-thought out post thoroughly explaining why yellow text is bad, only to be met with a response to the effect of, "lol gay". It has minimal benefits but creates massive harms for the server. Stop acting like you will save the server by giving people global recognition every time they kill someone. They can do that in ooc already if they want to.

Boxing is even worse on a red server, and the advantages you derive from doing it are much greater. Plus if it were allowed you'd have to unban everyone who was banned for it, and I think we'd all prefer that Fallen stay banned :)

Any significant exp boost has to be temporary, or else anyone who grinded to 50 under normal exp rates will feel they wasted their time. I actually think it would be a great idea to advertise a one month exp boost (2x exp from what we have now? More? I dunno) to get more players rolling on the server.

This makes zero sense.

Your argument against yellow text.

"It has minimal benefits but creates massive harms for the server"

LOL what massive harms for this server could it create? Gobal recognition? LOL come up with some facts and statements other then, Yellow text is gay because it could cause problems? well what kind of problems.

Nope, I'm not going to be trolled by you. I've elaborated on the harms of YT in numerous other threads that you've responded to so you know what my reasons are. Every time I do this I get a one liner response and my criticism of YT is ignored, meaning that I've wasted the 5 minutes of my time it took to write a post.

lol, I think all pvp is griefing? What? If you're going to try to explain my argument at least do it right. This basically proves what I said above; even if I did give a long well-thought out explanation of why YT is bad, you wouldn't even understand it.

If you want an explanation, search these forums.

80%+ of people in the YT polls have said they wanted. I get it, you don't, but the vast majority of everyone else does. Accept that in this case you are in a small minority and move on.

Boxing will create more PVP targets, something desperately needed on this server, allow smaller guilds to compete where they couldn't previously, allow people to play that melee they want with a healer so it's viable, allow people to kill content they can't solo so they don't just log off bored in the afternoon cuz no one on to do something with, etc., etc.

As far as exp, I think I said in the post I agreed it would be a temporary boost.

Disagree with all your points except hybrid penalty should apply to the individual only, and the "accelerated" timeline progression needs to be accelerated.

Too many people just lost interest in the old content and stopped logging in. Should already have plane of sky and kunark should be around the corner already.

You hate the custom resists because you want your ogre warrior to be 100 percent immune to all spells. No, its bad for class balance and server long term health.

Null knows what he is doing, stop trolling him into "fixing" what is not broken. The resist system as it is now is good and lets all the classes have a roll in pvp beyond "oh im a enchanter, i.e. a golem wand with a casting time".
