Hello, i want to share some of my opinions about this server. I think you should definetely change your game policy to help new players. As far as i can see only a few guilds are farming endgame instances like orkham and rest of guilds are farming outdated instances like rofl. I dont see so many new players looking for instances or wanting to buy gear in world chat. New players are really so important for game economy. Because endgame players have already finished their gears and they dont need to buy anything anymore. They dont spend diamonds like new players. I remember 2-3 years ago when RoFL was endgame instance. I used to earn 40k diamonds every week only by selling RoFL weapons in auction house. Nowadays it is imposssible to earn diamonds like this.
I have a lot of friends who are just bored of this game because of difficulties of this server. There are a lot of things to do in this server. Here is some of things to do to reach endgame content.
1- Up your classes to 105 lvl and unlock every elite skill for your classes.
2-Start with Tikal prequests, unlock tikal-inferno-gorge-rofl. And of course you need to run gorge of ice giants once to unlock hekhig npc.
3-Unlock at least 5 lvl badge title system to use your titles.
4-Make your normal pet and cenedril pet max lvl.
5- Play festival events and make all your zodiac pets draco pets, then unlock darkness pet and moon pet.
6- Finish some quests to unlock Zhargos world boss.
7-Finish every quest in talaghan map in order to unlock Dark Core, Orkham and some titles in talaghan.
8-Make yourself some good gear to enter instances. Minimum gear is Final Form set from RoFL
9- Start with HoTo, run Kalin, Ice Dwarf Kingdom, Forsaken Abbey, Necropolis of Mirrors. And of course you need to run Ice Dwarf Kingdom and Forsaken Abbey 20 times to make a rune and earn your important titles.
10-Run instances like Dark Core and Orkham to finish your gear.
These are some things i remember to reach endgame content. Maybe i forgot to mention some things. But i need to ask you developers, without a strong guild, how do new players reach endgame content and enjoy this game ? Almost all guilds want to recruit strong endgame players. New players are simply stucked in a bad situation.
First you need to give new players a guild.
Secondly you need to make these players earn diamonds with an easy way.
I suggested to create a GM- controlled guild before.
But of course only new players should join this GM- controlled guild and earn their diamonds. This shouldnt be abused by other players
You can invite all verified new players to this guild.
Seperate Ancient mementos like you seperated courage coin. Mementos we get from instances and mementos we get from Arcadia coin exchange npc.
Make Owenstein NPC use only mementos we got from instances. Make it give double amount of diamonds to these verified new players.
You should also change Sathkur instance. It should always give Splinter of Form and Splinter of Emotion if player doesnt have IDK and FA titles(To Know Every Trick in the Book and Tragedy Builds Character).
You should also change this Badge Title System. (I know you refused to change it before. But please consider it again).
And please change IDK and FA runes to be creatable with 10 Cores only. 20 is too much for new players.
If you apply these changes, i beileve number of new players will increase in this game and server will be more crowded. Game economy will improve and we will have a better server.
Other players can share their thoughts to help new players.
