[Loki]

I first joined this server thinking that the goal was to reproduce an oldschool working sphere server with some of the customs rules and pvp changes that we all used to love on those sphere era custom servers back then ( i mainly played xuo , alias mortal , novus opiate )

We never claimed to emulate any of those servers, we emulate IN1 which was a sphere 51a server. I actually don't know much about any of those servers so I have no idea what you were expecting.

- The economy is totally broken due to custom armor system wich is controlled by afk gatherers. ( and GM's arent actually enforcing the afk gathering rule like on the other server i played , on those server it was an immediate ban , or you'd get your bank erased. that discouraged people to afk gather , but here in IN , everyone just afk gather their money and after a few months , the economy basicly ceased to exist. )

When we catch people they generally get jail and all their armour and ingots nuked. We don't usually ban (unless it is a multiple account situation) because the playerbase is low and that sort of thing would make it even lower.

- the new pvp system was very badly implemented , and moreover , loki havent took the time to balance that new system , leaving tons of new players at a disavantage against older veterans , wich is very bad in a full loot pvp game where you can steal your opponents time and goods. it creates an enormous gap between new players and veteran basicly , and in a small community ,you want everyone to be able to enjoy the game simply or you wont keep them for long.

I'd love more detail on this, and I'm not saying that to be argumentative, I'm saying it because I don't understand. Almost all the changes made benefited people on the mid to lower end of the scale equipment-wise. The only type of PvPer it causes significant issue for is people who are trying to scroll whilst totally naked, which I'm okay with.

If armour is so plentiful from AFK gatherers then people should at least be able to wear 35-40AR which is more than enough to avoid 90% of the low AR penalties in the system. Also the benefit for top end gear is extremely limited to the point that a lot of richer players were actually complaining. We also reduced the need for pots (regen) and scrolls (by normalising a lot of spells with the spellbook). So if anything the changes should make it easier than ever to get a minimal level of gear and still be able to compete, if this isn't the case I'd love to know what the problem(s) are exactly.

gms and admins here just have a shitty attitude to begin with , and that also does'nt help to keep players around.

Have you been abused or treated badly by staff?

If by shitty attitude you mean we are all around 30 years old and can't play a video game all the time (because that's what it is, it's still a video game for the staff too, this is not our actual jobs) then I can't help you there.
