Ladies and Gentlemen...

I have been playing for a month now, and all i can say that it is really boring the last 2 weeks...

I have just a few complaints and tips about IN-X

This is a 24/7 UO shard, wich should be "guarded" 24/7 by Gamemasters
What I mean about this, the gamemasters should not only help people with items or housing or bugs, but also try to lure people into "quests/party killing" (entirely for fun etc.)

The Pits.. Its a good idea to have a pits where people can meet eachother, but the stupid thing about the pits is that trading is not possible. So we have the Vendor Mall..My opinion about a Vendor Mall : It is not social at all! People do not interact anymore with eachother. Try to sell weapons or potions in town,, you simply get ignored 9 out of 10.

The playerbase.. I started an movie competition, and hardly anyone is responding or interested, the reason I tried to start a competition is to try to get more people on this shard.. but this looks like a failed mission for me..
I thought by having a really cool movie(commercial) on Youtube, maybe people would be interested in joining IN-X, but the problem is that we dont have an really good movie(yet)

The forums.. they look boring and for the last 24hours alsmost nobody posted anything in the General forums.. If you are active in game you should also post sometimes on the forums, just to keep things alive

The pvp/2vs2 games.. They are fun indeed.. for "enhanced" players.. for new people it is a NO GO area... I think that there should be a different type of game to lure people from all level of skills into! How about a massive Hunt just outside town without PVP or looting eachother is a perfect idea! This way people interact more with eachother, and then people are less bored!



These were my complaints and tips.. feel free to flame or to comment.. just dont wait to long.. because I have been thinking about leaving to...

We do not want to spam "PVP in ocllo PVP in decite PVP in destard PVP in brit bridge etc for several reasons. Regarding the answer posts etc, thats prio 1 as a game master. Prio 3-5 somwhere is to host events. PVP events are hosted quite regulary, while other events take more time to prepare and therefore force the hostign staff to spend alot of time both before the event take place and specially during and after.

The Pits.. Its a good idea to have a pits where people can meet eachother, but the stupid thing about the pits is that trading is not possible. So we have the Vendor Mall..My opinion about a Vendor Mall : It is not social at all! People do not interact anymore with eachother. Try to sell weapons or potions in town,, you simply get ignored 9 out of 10.

Trading have been disabled in pits because taran and a few other staff and players did want players to be forced to move out of pits to interact aka trade.
A vendor mall do have some downsides. Yes but also alot of upsides. Helps alot in the trade between diffrent players. Sure it could be removed but vendors would still exist around the world. And thus this problem id say is more about active players. (eventough i do not totally agree that it is impossible, as i have both sold and bought from players in ex. britain)

The playerbase.. I started an movie competition, and hardly anyone is responding or interested, the reason I tried to start a competition is to try to get more people on this shard.. but this looks like a failed mission for me..
I thought by having a really cool movie(commercial) on Youtube, maybe people would be interested in joining IN-X, but the problem is that we dont have an really good movie(yet)

Yet, i know some staff have taken some really awesome ingame "footage". Also i know that a smaller version already is up on youtube from Ginz. search for INX.

[B]The forums.. they look boring and for the last 24hours alsmost nobody posted anything in the General forums.. If you are active in game you should also post sometimes on the forums, just to keep things alive

24 hours and almost no new posts in the general section?
erhm i see plenty new posts, also its a workday. my problem is that there are too much post to filter atm i would not call this an issue. Also alot of ur playerbase are spanish and therefore have toruble reading the English section of the forum.

The pvp/2vs2 games.. They are fun indeed.. for "enhanced" players.. for new people it is a NO GO area... I think that there should be a different type of game to lure people from all level of skills into! How about a massive Hunt just outside town without PVP or looting eachother is a perfect idea! This way people interact more with eachother, and then people are less bored!

Some events like these have been held, we do also have the monthy champion. Also read above my first reply to your first question/statement.
Also I would not say that the regular PVP events are a NO GO AREA for "newbies" as we have had alot of CTF (2 teams) and 1v1 repl tornys (2 teams) as these give you a 50% chanse to win and get a prize. Along with bow fights, wresling and ffa events.





--------
But ya the Events have been less and less and we are aware of that aswell, and I along with alot of other staff feel that this have to improve. So that is one thing i think we both agree on

I agree with all your ideals but I think that more should be done apart from these changes, for example:
-Monitor some staff-players (many people are suspicious of their impartiality).
-Make mandatory weekly tournaments always at the same time so that events are more mass (to publish a timetable on the web with the days and hours of the tournament).
-Putting more animals and monsters spawn at different sites and that no one is aware that all these players can access them (add Llamas and zostrichs of colours) (if some players know the spawn from the first day they are placed, the other players do not have access to them).
-Open other worlds to give more breadth to the game (Ilshenar, Bad Tokuno and all its cities).
-Open new quest to find new items, not only do quest to tame animals.
-Add new items for decoration to the server, to decorate homes more beautiful.

This is the humble opinion of a player who sees things from within, not trying to criticize or correct anything, just looking for improvement from this server lately because I see no good progress .
Greetings and thanks for your work ...

1. this is done, monitors staff as good as we monitors players. along with separate comand logs for all staff and speech logs etc. uo players are always suspicious because uo have been followed by cheating staff the past years.

2. a suggestion about this have been brought up (http://www.in-x.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4261)

3. no comment as i do not know how it will be in the future. or that much about how it works now. Maybe some other staff can give you this information.

4. opening the other continents would only make the server feel "even" less populated. As it would only spread out the player base even more. Would also take time from the other suggestions like hosting if we need to spawn a new continent and fix regions.

5. New quests are under alot of work (especially the new weapons quests) (they are priority 1)

6. ALOT of new items are being discussed to be added to teh diffrent crafting proffesions, including teh ability to Recolor some of the current craftable items.

-Monitor some staff-players (many people are suspicious of their impartiality).

Player suspicions are just that, suspicions. The logs are checked by higher staff and there have been no findings of bad behavior by staff. You should trust that Taran would eat someone's brains for cheating. But only after firing them from the staff.

-Make mandatory weekly tournaments always at the same time so that events are more mass (to publish a timetable on the web with the days and hours of the tournament).

This has been suggested many times and it simply isn't possible. We as staff have lives and promising an event at the same time every week will only disappoint players when the staff has something in real life that prevents them from taking care of their promised event.

-Putting more animals and monsters spawn at different sites and that no one is aware that all these players can access them (add Llamas and zostrichs of colours) (if some players know the spawn from the first day they are placed, the other players do not have access to them).

I believe a couple new spawns were added recently and it was announced when they were added. It is the reward of those who spend the time looking for them that they can tame them. There are also the spawns in Wind that many people tame. You can't expect to stumble upon most spawns easily, they are rare and because of that people check them often. Rest assured more spawns will be added as time goes on.

-Open other worlds to give more breadth to the game (Ilshenar, Bad Tokuno and all its cities).

A majority of the current world isn't used. Our playerbase isn't so large that we need those portions of the world. Enlarging the world only means less player interaction.

-Open new quest to find new items, not only do quest to tame animals.

There will be 6 new quests added in the coming weeks for the new craftable weapon recipes. Please hold on a bit longer, staff has been busy with real life issues and will finish these as soon as possible.

-Add new items for decoration to the server, to decorate homes more beautiful.

I agree it would be great to have more craftable house deco and such, I'm sure it will be done eventually it just isn't high priority at the moment.

Staff is getting monitored.. There are logfiles etc. What makes you think that the seers and taran dont look at it ?

tournaments on same time sounds nice. But this means that you expect the gms to be online at that time, and give them no chance to plan something nice. The whole staff team exist out of volunteers who do this all in their free time, you cannot force them to be on at a specific time.

more spawns will only get people not seeing each other even more. The same is for opening other worlds (which were not even on sphere i believe). The world is very big already, if you make it bigger. The chance of seeing someone else ingame gets even smaller.

There are new quests actually, for weapon recipes. And the staff is working hard on more quests.

I agree but there is a thing that not. To do a calendar with the dates of the events is a mess ... because the Staff cannot be subject to a schedule. As you dont plan a calendar of when you begin to play.
Already you know that I agree with you in many things but do not see it logical

[imported_beret]

*I prefer not to talk about monitoring the staff because this can harm me in the game (Yes, is fear).

*schedule of events:
How many members are on the staff? It's too much to ask that a member one day a week for 30 minutes this present to meet a CTF for example?
Example:
day: Thursday / Hour: 22:30
You really think that it is impossible for all staff to agree to a member who is present at the event?
If you think that it is impossible that all staff should agree on something as simple as this, I think that never there will be serious this server. If we want to make a server serious and important members of staff have to engage in this kind of stuff.

*The Spawn of Tameable Mounts:
I just gotta tell you I have all the spawn of Tameable Mounts except two, and all I found a lot because I have searched the world! but how can you explain that the guild: Ministry always have all the spawn from the first day they are placed in the world?
I could explain to all the players but the staff would call me a liar. .

*Open new World:
It is true that open new worlds would make the players interact less. I suggested to give more breadth to the game but in reality it is not a good idea.

*New Quests:
I wait patiently for the new quests and hope and pray that these are explained in Spanish in the forum please.

*Decoration:
Thank you for adding new items for decoration, I love the decor.

it is very difficult for my posting in English, sorry for my bad English.

Oh god just shut up. Ministry doesnt know the spawns since the first day, not all of us know all the spawn. If your going to tell those things with mouth full at least show us some proofs and some facts or just shut up. I know players from certain guilds that recall to the spawns exactly when the mount spawns which in your eyes could be "top secret" or it could be just a coincidence.

It is not hard to ask a staffmember to host for 30 minutes somewhere in the week. But think of as you are the staffmember. You have a specific date that you host a tourney. Saturday 21:00. First three times you are there. Then a friend calls you, hey you want to go drink some beer? And then you want to be able to do that without having to host. Especially because you dont even get paid to host tournaments.

Odium, I do not want to flame gamemasters... but let me explain very short. :



There are to little people playing, and the ones that are playing hardly interact with eachother. The gamemasters are the ones wich are able to bring people together, if you do this more often, then people will be together more and enjoy eachother more.


All we want is more fun, and this world is to big for only 40-60 people.. Gamemasters have the power to solve this, I am just a single person, and all I can do is post on the forums trying to achieve changes.


ps. guys please stay on topic.
