ohh ya..and dont even think of suggesting to add pitrunes to the entrance of the dungeons cause that would be..what was it ? ah ..yeah ..carebear.
What happened to Xerxes has happened to me before ( back when i used to play ) and i find it totally retarded , not having either a high amount of rez ankhs placed all over the world or missing those godlike pitrunes wich could make hunting such a joyful experience , and not the crap that it is. I know it has nothing to do with the topic and i dont even play nowadays but since i like to contribute in my own way i must say that the hunting should be evolved into something more enjoyable and not sticking always to the whole " dragon hunting " thing. New monsters should be added, like new type of foes to face..big ones..kind of like..The Harrower and the champions of the dungeons ( was it champions? lol ) that were spawned after you killed a certain amount of the champion's minions in the same place until the " big boss" spawned and it required like more than ten people to kill and it would take a while ( all this was RunUO stuff ). There's no need to go directly for that and use the champions as they are ..but you got the idea..to add a new kind of hard -to-kill monsters that would require a decent amount of people to kill and could be spawned only a certain number of times a week.
Also , what about the new players to come? Do you really think they're going to try the shard as it is now by having to start from the scratch with literally NOTHING? not even a pair of skills or some cash to get started? hell no..besides the playerbase has dropped like shit so you might wanna reconsider this posibility if ya wanna get some fresh new players .
Now about the event hosting..i didnt play myself any tournament since this server went live , but as far as i know ( yeh i got my contacts on the inside :l ) there's basically one type of tournament being held over and over..now im asking..What about the CTF'S? Monster Bashes? and so on
Diversity is what this server needs..sticking to the routine will kill the server sooner than you expect..i mean..this is a freaking ten year old game wich graphically looks like shit and the only reason the players play this game nowadays its because they dont want their memories to go..they shared nice moments with people while playing this game..hell they been playing this crap for years..most of them started when they were whiny brats and now they are adult persons and some of them have jobs..some of them are married..some of them are still as retarded as when they started..but the thing is..time goes by and things and the people change so fast..
now ask yourself Developers , you want to keep this up? make it possible and start doing some changes . Ill give you a short list :
Hire 1 or 2 new dedicated and trustworthy developers who are willing to spend some time a week into scripting and get rid of the inactive/slacker/mentally challenged staff members.
Turn hunting into something more worth the players time. Some players make a living of the crafts and some of them earn their money by hunting ( and hunting the same thing the same way everyday can be a B-I-T-C-H) . This could be done by adding a totally new array of monsters to the world , adding some quests wich could reward some money, host a weekly monster bash where you face a different final boss every week..i dont know buddies..DIVERSITY..IF ya know what i mean..
Make the starting experience for the new commers alot easier..and dont anyone come to me with the typical bullshit like " OH It was so hard for me when i started even tho i had part of my skills back, why would i have to agree with new commers having a nice start now " . Being selfish leads you nowhere, thats a reality.
And finally..events events events..more diversity in the events for god sake..if all you can host are 1v1 and 1v1 rep's..just get the hell outta here. If you need more staff to host different type of tournaments im a hundred percent sure that there's still a bunch of trustworthy people out there who would be willing to spend some time into making us have a good time .
That was all for now . I hope my /cry ( wich is more like a suggestion ) didnt bother anyone at all.
