You're not the one on my ignore list ;) . The attention whore was lucky Jamie quoted him, else he wouldn't have gotten even that little attention I gave him with my previous post.

There was nothing much to address @ what you said, you know you're always welcome back to PA as you were one of the main contributors to the Project.

Well, does it even matter? I guess it's time to unleash some new stuff. Also, one more designer should help the server even more, shouldn't it?

Why would I take part in this challenge? I don't mind network development. I just care about client side. Also, I don't even mind that UI. Rather whole your job was redundant. Current GM tool has those things working, so why are you trying to invent the thing that currently is existing?

Also, you miss something. We have desires to discover things. To do that, you need knowledge. And you can't waste time on useless things.

I don't really think you need to make 'good' UI, but... Well, I'd rather use console one. It would be better one to choose just skill to rebuff the server with. Well, maybe that's just my opinion.

You're definitely a developer from my knowledge...

Maybe some people here just dislike that term, so they won't tell me 'developer', but 'content designer' :rolleyes: There are true developers here, after all.

i have tried all 3 of these private servers and this is my input.

project alpha: rates felt like an "official" server, too low, private server must be fun not feel like redfox and their 1x rates , i leveled to EC and quit, no starter gift when i played, also server was empty, i maybe saw 1 person in hefei. no support from a GM or VGM.

elysium: i tried this server, rates were nice, gifts also were nice, BUT , i read thru the forums and all i could see was "corrupt" , "dupes" and "hacking", so i decided to quit that server after a couple of days.GMs and VGM felt too involved in game, more like players and not admins.

9dpk: rates very nice, very cheap IM, everything can be farmed, very nice gifts, reached HG in maybe 2 days of 6 hours played each day, the GM is NOT involved in the game or in any league, he just logs at certain times to hefei to make refine past +12, NEVER goes on rants or banters using roars or server notice, unlike the other servers, there is a direct support skype u can get problems solved quickly.
server has low population, but peaks at 40% at certain times of the day then it goes down to 10%.

my 2 cents. later

PA worth to play. Everyhing farmable. Rates are good with xp events its alıt hight than official. No need to be HG in a week. Just lack of content/gm support/event/gift. Still best.

Made HG7 there in one day. Got unlucky, 'cause that one day never saw GM. :rolleyes:

Actually, exp is quite high and during weekend you can hit IM from scratch quite easily.

I'm working on some stuff for now, until I finish my job I won't be really able to come in game to do any job. Actually, you have GC gift afaik, with def set and M&D weapons 7-day. That's enough to hit FC, then you have CS+ WD weps.

the Gm at 9dpk logs everyday at certain times and stays at hefei in case anyone needs help or refining. sadly u missed him

Elysium
I logged into Elysium twice. Both times Hefei was actually fairly populated (around 20 people) on both days (Monday and Saturday). Everyone seemed pretty happy and chill but what I did notice, most people were practically capped. The rates are too high for me, I couldn't play it.

I couldn't play Elysium regularly because I just don't like the main owner (personal choice).

9DPK
I logged into 9DPK three times. I checked Tibet, Loulan, Hefei and BP. Each time I found about 4-5 players average on all days (each had the same league name). The rates are too high for me, I couldn't play it.

I like 9DPK's Item Mall concept - they have a bunch of freebies which are actually quite useful. I didn't like some of the items in the mall though.

PA
I logged into PA, I have barely seen anyone (as in last week) so population might be down until new content comes around. PA has no Item Mall, that's something pretty incredible considering this games notoriety with 'p2w'.


Each server has a way of easily obtaining resources quickly so you really don't have to even bother with spending any money if you do not wish to.

Let me comment your opinions.

Exp is fine for mixed PvE/PvP gameplay. Yet all those capped players are killing any H+ character. There are almost no options to grind in other place than Tibet. Hefei is full of Eyes, because many people are camping whole days on YS (both Tibet & Hefei). BP supposed to spawn Icy Queens - they got changed with Gagas. The only good part of that is you can get a lot of PSH. KJ in BP is shitty idea, especially when you find the CS9+ troll and he's gotta spam AOE.

Also, be honest. P2W. Items are farmable, but getting 50 eyes when all the people are camping @ YS is really painful. After 3 days I had some luck and got 5 eyes - bought 2, got one for help and dropped 2 by myself, after several hours of camping with +9 starter gift weapon.

It's supposed to be PK server, yet I never noticed that. One league on one side is a pain in the ass, just be honest - PA got the same problem for a long time, then people ragequitted. IM concept isn't that bad, also items aren't overpriced.

No IM, too few resources for IM items. Small community, yet the friendliest one. As you said, people are waiting for new content. Still, I prefer PA as the player.

Only about 15 players are actually capped. The point of the rates are to hit HG fairly fast, but high HG and up to HI12 takes time, that's what separates everyone.

Elysium is mainly a pvp server. KJ in BP is for players who want to work as a team (unless you are strong and got good leech) and farm ES for blue boxes and etc. It's meant to be hard, or you can take the PvE option and farm KJ dungeon.

I agree, takes a while to gear up, but reason for that might not only be just for the money, but so the game doesn't die like it did earlier, with everyone gearing up fast and having no other purpose in game. Now you see the crazy monopoly of bosses in LL and the constant CC dungeon farming. There are several (mainly VNs) who have not spent anything (as its very expensive for them) and are capped with near max (some are maxed) gear.

How is that "better", to farm ES in BP, then? It's the very same boss as in dungeon, so you just don't pay 1kk-ish to get passes?

You know how it works. Few Viets bought items, then farmed EQ for everybody else. Also, it's possible to hit HG5 in one-two days (like I do) with almost no playing. I'm still with my starter gifts, though.Maybe I'll make magical deco, but nothing more so far, because I had only 2 chances to kill YS, after all (not even telling about leader now to get epi). Afaik there was one in CC dungeon, but I didn't see any party that went CCd, and nobody to help with getting IM12, after all.

It's not "very expensive for them". You can just skip the "for them" part. The prices are so horrible unbalanced, after all. You can get +2 scroll in 2 hours of farming, if you know how, yet it costs 2 EUR afaik? And you can get +17 weapon for 35 EUR? It takes few weeks of constantly farming, and be lucky with refinement as well.

my opinion of playing PA9D

its fun i really like it, i like lod-zero and one bot player i forgot the name, they help me alot... but the game still buggy, create 3 char, 2 will bug RTD or sometimes after die, all quest gone

i dont mean to offense anyone by this statement. Im just a player...

What every server needs at this point:

Lower the impervious time
Attempt to fix the black screen delay on connecting to a map
Implement the new RTD quest system
Attendance event - surpasses the hourly quest gifts by absolute miles.
