I thank all that have contributed to my post, i didn't expect to get the positive feedback that was given by staff and players in general.
Let me just point out that my aim was to give new ideas into "how to grow the shard, and attract new members to join INX" not to criticise anything thats already been implemented on the shard
These are my views on the following points i talked about:
PVP: I love xuo style pvp, at first i felt exactly the same as any other INER and hated it...I hated when i saw people spam because i didnt know whether they were casting something on me or not... BUT after splinter taught me the mechanics of the method to xuo pvp, i understood it and enjoyed it. I dont think anything should be changed with spam or pvp. I could go on to explain what i know about this pvp if people like...but all and all INERS need to be taught this pvp style and only way for them to enjoy it is if they get used to it and apply it.
Community/roleplay: My aim was to give an insight into how roleplay respresents a mature playerbase, it eliminates all the slang and swearing that goes on and enables individuals to speak in a mature manner like civilised people. Perhaps the way INX is marketed could be changed to attract more mature players to the server.
Pits: Sure ill get flamed for this... but let me ask you this... if pits were taken away what do you as a player lose? my aim was to explain to everyone what opportunities there were for the shard to "GROW" in playerbase if pits were removed. again im sure reds and pvpers will be disgruntled because its such a convenience for them... but ask yourself.. right now... are you enjoying INX? are you bored of logging in and afking in pits and waiting for people to kill? or would you like to have more players join so that theres more action? the end goal of removing pits leads to more player interaction between all 60-70 clients that are on when INX is at its peak... instead of 15 who are in pits afking, 5 behind brit bank speaking to samild about how much money he has, and the rest scattered around the world afking. Increasing player interaction leads to meeting new people, making friends with palyers ingame, and therefore making the shard more enjoyable for everyone. sure if you dont want friends and like to kill, then sure goto brit bridge, minoc bridge and you'll have 20-30 players from inside town come out and try kill you. you'll get more action if pits were removed.
Marketing INX: thats all explained in my post above and self explanatory, and i feel would contribute alot to "growing INX playerbase" and getting more new players to join
Staff having Player accounts: i thought i'd get this response from staff... and im pleased vulcan knows what im talking about, let me clarify by saying: im NOT saying staff shouldn't be allowed to have a player account. all im saying is if they were hired as staff... that should be their job, and while they're staffing they (shouldn't be allowed to access their account) no matter how mcuh its monitered. if you want to be staff, shouldn't your objective be to ensure that the shard is a happy environment for everyone to play in???, well currently thats not happening, you get people like abbo runnig around harassing everyone... and nothing seems to be done about this matter.
anyways just my 2 cents.
Btw there is a new GAME (NOT SERVER) called Mortal Online coming out in 2009, its supposedly the next best MMORPG ever made after UO. Heads up for that...
