The following is just my personal opinion.
I just want to tell you how I feel about some of the changes you
made over the last months.
(1) When I started to play on this server I loved to farm mobs
because of the wonderful droprate. It was the first time I could farm most
of the monstercards. The droprate was great and it was a real big fun.
BUT you took it away.
(2) When I started to play on this server I loved varanas. I did not get so many crits.
Varanas was an imposing, spacious city. Varanas was the center of the game (for me)
and I found most of the needed NPCs. Today, Varanas is or will be in the near future
a dead city, you deleted most of the important NPCs.
(3) When I started to play I loved to do dailies with alts because of the gold that is needed
to pay for the way too expensive guildbuffs.
BUT you took it away.
(4) When I play I love daylight because I can see everything and it is fun to play during daylight.
BUT you took it away.
(5) When I started to play scout I loved my patk and "worked" hard to raise it.
BUT you took it (approx 10-15%) away.
(6) When I played I loved the view of the nature and some of the zones have been
really beautiful. NOW, some of the zones (e.g. near Obsidian fortress) look like
Minecraft (maybe Minecraft Zones look a bit better).
-----------------------
BUT wait- there are more changes- lets see what I got:
1) New Login Screen Pictures - Nice but useless
2) New Sounds on Login Screen - Nice but useless
3) New Icons - Nice
4) New Inferno - Most boring INI I have ever seen -
wasting lifetime for waiting and running.
5) New Korris - Nice
6) New Worldboss - at least I believe, nice
7) New Atlas - should be the new center for all players. You call it a city I call it a wild
collection of houses standing way too closely together and some NPCs framed with
a wall that is a little bit bigger than a guildcastle wall.
It is NOT imposing,
it is NOT spacious,
"maybe" it is efficient.
At the end it was a useless change because the total count
of crits I have during the last days did not change!!!
------------------------
What about the things I still don't like?
1) 3-5 Ports and I get a crit - No change
2) Way too slow mailbox - No change
3) Way too slow buying of e.g. Fusionstones - No change
4) Can't send more than 61 items without changing
Zone - No Change.
5) Way too slow login procedure - No change.
AT THE END:
I am disappointed about the things I just described but
I am and will be still an enthusiastic player. I still
love the server and I would be happy if the wind of
change continous to blow ... maybe sometimes in a different
direction!!!
