Several reasons:Quote:
how you lost 3500 player ?
1) Greedy, this server only needs astral stones in item mall to be 100% pay2win, but it still like 95% p2w.
2) They don't listen their players, instead, they have a small group of retards giving them shitty/random suggestion like adding 2 SoX items between SoS and SoM (Stupidest idea ever made in all pSro scene), you have Seal of Lyra (+0.5 stronger than SoS) and seal of Orion (+1 stronger than Seal of Lyra / -0.5 weaker than SoM)
3) Copying Ruby's shitty trade routes and deleting all other routes to force players use it making job totally boring and monotonous, just trace all the way until reach limit, with the poor excuse that it was to make "Job War Active", this show how retard they are, because Joymax never had problems with job war in 3.5k servers, how will they have job war problems in a 4.3k server where 90% of people is max lvl (in difference to iSro where max lvl is just like 30-40% server population)?
4) Not fixing anything, they were too busy counting money to make a nice update, they got nice concepts, like adding holy water temple and forgotten world, but they didn't think it well when they added them (Just a failure, like almost everything in this server)
5) Issues everywhere, launcher was coded by something who bought his engineering title in a market, instead of using a common launcher, they made one that have a lot of troubles with their DLLs, so many people must have a .rar archive with all DLLs and EXEs and extract them every time they want to play (this doesn't happen to everyone, but still), also, Client always have problems, like C10, DLL issues, etc... They never fixed anything.
6) First PVP Event was few weeks ago, after server was already dying hard. You never see GMs online, only supports, it's ok if they need a rest, but they never appeared to make in-game manual events (besides the only PvP that was ever made), so basically their absence was really notorious in the game.
7) They are too stubborn, they don't want to change anything in game, even if they are now desperately asking for suggestions because server dropped from 4300/4500 to 590/2000 doesn't mean that they've been always like this, they thought that their game is perfect and it was gonna never die, they were only "looking for suggestions" just to make people feel they are being heard, but that's it.
