Bot farming to save a dying scene, who would have thought : o
What you and the guy above you talking about silkroad are both true THOUGH invalid for psro 2015/2016. I don't think a server with isro system (dropbased) could have more than 1.5k players bcuz players has no patience to grind/farm for long term, they will just go lifeless for a few weeks and then get to pvp some and bye.Quote:
Is snow shield in this server made with no cooldown? I love to play INT characters when there is no delay because I can't stand when I'm entirely dependent on snow shield to survive anything (have to play STR for this reason :/).
Yep, 100% correct about the having to take the exact same path every single time for every single player to get good items.
That's why I loved Silkroad, you want sox items? Either drop it or buy it, no need to mindlessly trade for over and over and over again.
If only server admins would realize that having 1 path and only 1 way of getting what players want will never work in Silkroad, thats why servers die in x amount of time with these systems. And no, trading+cft/arena+uniques doesn't count because it's the same mindless grinding, botting and lucky drops is the way to go, however strange that sounds.
New players start with server opening (that's why everyone wants to start fresh, not join older server), starts getting all the shit needed and in a x amount of time he has it. New player has to play for exact same time to get it but no one wants to play for REQUIRED x amount of time while everyone else is already there, random drops works wonder to counter that.
I think to get really long term server all coins/trading for items must go away. Best weapons/gear must be only drop able with low rates like sun (so new players are not in a disadvantage but would be actually looking forward trying to get something even oldest players are looking for), trading and other mindless grinding can be left for gold to buy silk items (although silk/h is still needed so all those grinding things are not required but a bonus) , alchemy shouldn't be money grab (easy +5 and then good luck wasting money/silk on shit ton of immortals).
Cap should involve sox system as nova items are too easy and egy stuff is mindless grind again (unless everything would be moved to sox system drop (omg I would play that so hard xD, imagine waking up, looking at your pet inventory and seeing egy b weapon *jaw drops*)).
Eu/ch should both be enabled for variety but skill balance should be done properly and not only 10%+/- (thats a fucking lazy way to do it.)

Servers released last year and the year before by some people (I forgot their name) which were isro-ish, drop based, low cap had less than 500 players each, cuz nobody cares
I still wonder how this nigga kept the server alive till today tho
fyi bloody im one of those new players here on electus, and its far from light years ahead if you compare it to isro. Ive been here for just a little over a month and now have sun weapon,shield,3x accessories,2x protector. Plus i aint even really active as im working majority of the time.. lastthief wont open another one is because after all these months he still has a loyal player base + new players joining, that are still actively playing fortress and jobbing, pvp etc. So to anyone looking for server to play, look no further. :DD LongLiveElectus<3 :handsdown:Quote:
You should. No one in hell is joining a maxed out several months old server with the people in it light years ahead. Considering that you are of the few people making valuable servers unless you are bitching out for an unknown reason, you definitely should make another one even if you decide to keep this one open.
Yes m8 were friendly.. we dont bite ^^, and of course new players can grow here.. its fairly easy to get sun weapon just login join the fun and job for a few days. Were still actively doing trade runs here so if u decide to join pm me ingame CL32 , we can do some trades together :) .There will also be many awesome events on sundays after fortress wars with special rewards! ps i am a fairly new player to electus as well and still growing.Quote:
is it new players friendly, I mean can a player grow here or it`s already done by the others haha?
Cheers
They got lucky and created good game people wanted to play.Quote:
Really?..Then how did they manage 30 servers with full 3500/3500 in 2009?
