9DS revamped

First 3 points came up to my mind few years ago when acclaim version was closed. Rest of them - after seeing shitty private servers that were wiped from to time to milk some cash.

In my opinion classes should be unique on their own and should not really be balanced around 1v1. However they still need to be useful and excel at some parts of the game, 3. Can you introduce revamped/custom mastery to all classes? It's one of the weakest points in character development in the game, 4. How transparent your server gonna be? Will you share gm logs with other players? 5. How are you going to stop the players after the first month of play when the nostalgia usually ends? 6. Will the server be pve or pvp? 7. Are you planning to do anything with broken exp curve? 8. What are you planning to put in item mall and how expensive it's going to be?

Sorry for the delayed response, the GM doesn't use this forum and I rarely check it (pretty toxic with same few people arguing)


Back to the questions,
1) 9DS has always done it's best when it came to security, we have had one main issue over the 5 years (zozo) which was unfortunately was hard to prove but was taken care of. Other than that we have done fairly well against exploits and 3rd party software

2)I am not sure if you have tried current 9ds, however it did a fairly good job at balancing the classes during its phases and we plan to follow a similar path (balancing will be done around the cap level/ gear of each phase)

3)We have added skills/mastery found in the DB before but at least in my opinion it took away from what 9D was meant to be. We were adding change and something new for the sake of it being different. That doesn't mean they aren't/won't be added but we would like to at least have first phase or two with skills that we are comfortable balancing around

4)The server has only had one GM and has only had one dating back to 9DPK's launch. We haven't had issues with staff because there is no one else on it. Transparency is always available, the GM has always been open to sharing logs. Although this does slow things we would like to accomplish, having a 1 man team means no drama which is perfect for us.

5)We are going to release content in phases, as most know we have access to working dungeons including cc, east, west, icy, potola as well as maps including kunlan, hainan, and Guang Dong. We have plenty of content to sustain a server life.

6)Server will be a mix, we will allow pve options for players however top gear will mostly be obtainable through pvp

7)We have done a good job dealing with the curve in the past, we scale the xp according to maps and levels which allows for a more enjoyable curve

8) Item Mall has always been very affordable and will not change. We haven't changed our IM prices going back to 2015 so you can check the current IM for a rough idea (9ds.onl). We are however planning to shy away from the RNG heavy IM which we have used in the past few years (removal of BDB and SDB) although they help support the server, the rng aspect of them isn't something we liked.

Again I don't check Epvp often so if you guys have any questions, feel free to message us on the discord: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

I entered 9DS today and all of the SCR exploits work. You've taken zero security measures. 2)I am not sure if you have tried current 9ds, however it did a fairly good job at balancing the classes during its phases and we plan to follow a similar path (balancing will be done around the cap level/ gear of each phase) Yeah that's why healers used to be OP 90% of the time, because you did a fairly good job at balancing classes. Great job. 3)We have added skills/mastery found in the DB before Yeah, missing / wrong item descriptions, non- or semi-functional skills & items and some of them can even be abused. Nice work. 4)The server has only had one GM and has only had one dating back to 9DPK's launch. We haven't had issues with staff because there is no one else on it.

Yeah, ask who the player "LoveYou" aka "Fiend" was. Sharing logs that are directly editable? Genius. You have no drama because you have no player base. 5)We have plenty of content to sustain a server life. Plenty of content with 2012 server files, LOL. You seeing yourself right now? 6)Server will be a mix, Mix is not the word I'd use. 7)We have done a good job dealing with the curve in the past, we scale the xp according to maps and levels which allows for a more enjoyable curve I agree with this one. EXP curve was great in the past. 8) Item Mall has always been very affordable and will not change.

I fixed some of the answers, because some of them were straight up lies.

From my impression this is just going to be a PVP-easy-cap server.

I doubt there is any intention for longevity. It will just be a go between before the rebuild is ready.

One thing you can be sure of is that you'll get your PK points back though!

You wouldn't know what truth is even if it slapped you on the ass every day until the next Millenium.

Pretty much

1.make all boxes stackable,dosent matter if u stay 3-6hour every1 should be able to get them all not only those from 5th/6th hour.introduce blue boxes from the second hour if not from 1st hour,that will be a good thing for every1 of us because all the prices were going down from how high they are for some items like +15 mats/+2 scroll/relics & so on.

2.give choice to players who doesent have or cannot afford to buy stuff from IM to farm them and i mean the deco because it is not normal as one who has a deco to beat up you'r ass because of that.

3.give the players choice to farm 9D premium 90 days not only to buy it from IM (the thing is again about who cannot afford)

4.make some new decos who loooks bad ass cause am already seek of those who already are in Hefei, same as New Year Red Handbok deco but with different animation.

5.introduce some new weapons with higher dmg for Kunlun map or upgrade HG12 weapons with a higher dmg.

6.create some new & better epithet's

7.reduce the prices for poisoned moon cookies/weapon reset & blood stone cause its to much expensive


8.increase the drop rate for farming materials cause it really sux.

9.make Bloody Plain PvP again like it was before/open CC dungeon

10.reduce time for bosses in Loulan/Tibet from 1h to 30minutes & Kunlun same (when will be open)

11.reduce prices to NPC in Hefei who keep's pazzes cause its expensive too.

12.better clothe's with better or higher stats & if posible to make them not 3 like it was till now but 4 slot's.

13.give the chance to people to make5x exp cards from farming materials (as not many can afford)

14.more events & weekend even who starts practicly from friday shoul not stop after 6hours cause the weekend start's for every 1 who wants to play.

15.balance for good all classes once & for all.

16. higher rate on those boxes would be nice too.

17. you should increase price for any weap from Tibet cause the price for selling weapon is terible.

18.increase dmg on ck hyb for Potala dungeon atleast to be able to kill bosses on purple & green run(on green let it be a lil bit harder to kill)

PS. IF YOU WILL DO THIS THINGS I ASURE THAT MOST OF US WILL CAME BACK & WE WILL BRING MORE PPL WHIT US.

BUT MAKE IT WORTH MAN

What we're lacking is a Headhunter Leather Belt, a Lvl100 Standard league character and a Lvl90 HC character. That's what we're lacking. I mean, just you.

Nice to see this place still running. despite the hate campaign them jealous amateur's tried, like they do with any p'server.
