not blaming him at all, he did great job, and its not even server beta test but emulator beta test.Quote:
Can you blame the man? He offered one of the most decent AL servers to this date and everyone bashed his case like there's no tomorrow.
Yes there were issues, BUT common, its still in beta for a reason, how long did it take Justac to fix its issues? Ow wait they still havent sorted everything to this day LOLS.
I only hope he doesnt cave in, and abandons the project
So far hobby programmer has done way more then profesionals here. The REAL programmer costs $$ and as he said he's just a student with limited funds.Quote:
If he dont let real programmer to help him this game never will be online.
Oisy is a hobby programmer and did a very very great job but its not enough for an online game.

i had no problems with refining with stones, cc items and storage :) you're overaggregating a little i guess :)
it's just a begining of long way, it was just test of emulator, not beta test of official server so what the hell are you talking about? What did you expected ? Still people played it, and enjoyed a lot, lot, lot!!!!! Even with those bugs it was fun. Personally if it would be more stable i'd play it no matter what, without complaining. 100% fun server :)!
Never said that he can handle it alone, it's definitely not one man job, we all know that. But still he's just a hobbist and still it's him who's trying to build emulator, not the profesional who offer him help. Maybe they're not that great at all. He has put lots of effort to achieve this point and he's 100% right not to let someone he doesnt know to acces his files. It could be different if he had enough $ to hire some pro programmers, sign agreement, pay them etc but still he doesn't have rights to those files and he doesnt have $$ for hirelings. Dead end pretty much. Still i have faith :) Maybe we should start a kickstarte for this project xD.Quote:
Well i think summoner is right about this tho, just 1 hobby programmer is not enough to build a stable private server for all the people who just wanna play and enjoy AL without worrying about connection problems and bugs etc.
i already answered this few posts above. AL is quite old game and we have mostly adult community. Peeps has got their families, jobs and 1000 things to do each day, base exp and drop just doesnt fits them. Medium rates like 500-700 would be better, you dont have to sacrifice as much time as base settings needs. It's my opinion. That's why me and xx of my friends quited classic al.Quote:
Even if he succeed, what will make this private server work, look at Classic Al. it's a server i was looking forward to since Webzen came, and after a year it's dead also
medium rates are solution :D And creating somethin like ladder in diablo 2/ path of exile. Reset database every 3 or 5 months, x best guilds, xx best players getting prizes :) . It would be constantly challenging, you could feel the rivalry once again. Even with limited content you could enjoy the game once,twice or 20 times again.Quote:
ClassicAL is great example that players live their memories. So many talking, begging and qq about ep3 server, and it ended with empty server because people prefer updated episodes.
At start of ClassiAL I've noticed that were two groups of players. groups divided between low rates and high rates. So whatever admin do in this case, one group will be unhappy and quit.
ClassicAL was the most suitable server for any player in my opinon, and still is. Too bad it's low crowdedQuote:

And lose hard farmed uniques and gear ? nah .Quote:

tried to come back lately, as farming spots are empty now etc. I bought lots of ec, toh lens combi, sat there and farmed 3 hours. Then i've noticed that it's too quiet at my daughter room.. guess what ? She has found some wax crayons inside the commode and drew all the walls along her room, so i had to do some renovation for the next 3 days. Instead of finding shuta i found myself shouting :) :p:p:pQuote:

If rates would be medium it wouldnt be SO hard to farm your uniques and gear right? It must be cool to have best gear at empty server, i mean sooooooooooo exciting !!! :)Quote:
No thnx indeed :p
One of the priviliges of an empty server, free farming spots and no pk :DQuote:

Well that's what im talking about. You can always farm gear, but you won't bring people to server if there's nothing fresh, no challenge, no rivalry. Its like having huge penis at desert island :D :D :D I'd rather prefer to run around in crappy gear & pk, talk, laugh and have every other interactions with other people, than run with best gear ever at empty server. Community is essence in every mmo game.Quote:
