New WOI server any one?

Hello, every one. So I am going to be putting up a WOI Cow server. And I have talked with a few players on their ideas and suggestions and thank you guys so much. But I wanted to put an open thread out there to really try and get an understanding what people maybe looking for in a new server?

I would like to hear from any one who has played the game and what your thoughts on it was. Heres a few ideas to please include that could give me a better understanding. Please tell me in details why you think your idea is a good change. Tell me the reason behind it.

-Server Rates? What rates felt good for you? I don't want to make something extremely fast, and produces a ton of loots as well. Please let me know what rates you played on and like the most and why.

-Donations? In order for a server to to keep going it would need donations. I have a few ideas I will post here later, but first I would like to hear your guys likes and dislikes on things. Please write your reason behind your thoughts as well.

-Early Game? Is there something about early game that bothers you? What kind of things would you like to start off with? I am looking for ideas to help ease players into the game no matter if they are new to the game or been a long term player.


And any other ideas that you have in mind please share them with me. I rather try to build something around what most the players want and move in that direction.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

make free zen,i mean free marketplace and decent rates :D and you`ll have a lot of players :D...You can and some extras to sallary shop, things like SIC,MSOG, DEVIL FRUIT(FOR FUSE).You can also add lvl 8...

Thanks for the ideas. Wish you had some more details behind them :D Yep, will be extras to the three shops. Level 4 gems on Winston and a few other of theses types of requests came from another player.

There will also be free Zen with efforts to prevent abuse. And among other things. Good start for ideas though :) I will keep doing my own ideas for now and put something up. I hope others will post their thoughts as well.

: ) Free zen, make donation optional, im sure if the environment is friendly you'll find kind hearted people that would like to see your server strive and willing donate, than pay to win.

How about no, no one wants a crap Russian server that's already one sided m8. I've never seen a russian run or owned server that was ever not one sided or short lived. :)

Ok, so the player driven content that is wanted is free zen and don't play on ru servers. Sounds easy enough, thanks for the input :P

I will do a few things and if people like it cool. Any else with helpful thoughts please go ahead and post. I am looking more at things that would be harder to add later on type things.

I think it is best for you to open the server and let people post their ideas on forum once the server is released. It is harder to reach out here when we don't have a single clue of what is currently available and not :/

But from my standpoint, I would prefer a slow eco server, rather than having people maxed within days, which will then be very boring and few people will quit.. anyway, good luck with the server and I will test it out once it is release :)

Cheers

I do agree with you. I was feeling 30/15 or 30/30 for the rates. Would make it easier to do double exp events as well (;)). But I am not sure the mass feels that way. Tbh, not sure what they feel :D

And the edits that are in are nothing too exciting, but I was looking for some thoughts pre hand. So maybe I could avoid a few mistakes towards the players. So I wanted to get more of a solid idea what type of server players are being drawn towards.

But if I don't really get that drive, I will launch with few edits and go from there. I was more or less looking for things that people liked at the start.

A free zen market will still drive the economy. People will just have to work hard and actually play to get things and power up. Maxed out in a few days? With the potential playerbase maxing out in a few days is only possible if you're there when it starts. And if that's the case, so what? You think most would get bored but with a market that's free, Devastation for example was going strong with a good population for a long while. This is so to speak going to be a CoW patch server, so in that notion the same kind of market on a WOI: CoW server would exponentially increase the amount of playability and shit to do and thereby attract even more people into staying and playing even more. Jesus christ it's as if someone always gotta complain about something.

I'm still not fully sold on the idea of a 100% free zen market my self. I am more leaning towards a market place where you can get a large base amount a day and options to gain zen in other ways in game as well. Donation for zen as well, but this would not happen at the start of the server. My reason behind this would be to first provide ways for players to get free zen other then the base amount.

Thoughts?

I think it's a good idea, a chunk of base zen, and then maybe an auto-inject twice an hour or once an hour of a certain amount that would keep the zen flowing and no one could farm the zen within the game differently. I'd also set a limit to two accounts online per MAC IP. Because we all know that spoofing the IP address and static IP's are possible. Thereby you'd just be able to ban the person entirely from getting on if they abuse that limit.

The rates however are the one thing I think should be higher. At the least 50/50 for exp/drop rates. 30 is borderline official type of exp and would take months before anyone had a full set of deity gear. I don't know that anyone here has that kind of patience.

If you need a hand with the server, I can do it. I also edited the zen market and a few other things on Conqueror, dunno why, but they decided to disappear again.

Thank you for the offer. But atm I don't really know any one. I like to take the time to get to know the players before I would recruit to staff. But if you do stay around to play I will keep you in mind.

Well Kooladd if you are still interesting about any ideeas i gonna put here what i have in my mind and what i saw in other servers what didn't worked very well or broke those server so here is what i have in my head and what you should apply to have a decent server with a large amount of players... first of all as a owner you need to be serious and to have also behind you a serious staff who can satisfie every wishes of players and ofc with no corruption or with favorites members of community cause thos things instantly will give you shut down to the server, second one people want a decent server with optional donation .. and also in donation system no costum items or stuffs like that or idk what kind of thing .. would be nice some mounts maybe, some fashions or somthing like that.. somthing what player would like to have but not what they can make for free and yea you need to add a large amount of option for donate .. for example with paypal,phone,paysafe because not everyone have a paypal because as you know community is maded by young and old players and also don't make the mystake to add vip or somthing into server cause gonna be worst thing ever happen, also the aspect thing with rates , would be decent some rates like 50%exp and 50% drop or 100%/100%drop max in my opinion :) also about market .. definetly you DON'T NEED TO ADD GEMS 8 cause there exist always packs for SGT and is more cool to work for your gems to improve your power :) so yea a free market would be nice with all what we need on it and also for one advice .. forgot about that thing with gems lvl 4 on winston cause gonna be boring and people gonna say cause is to hard to build gems :) so would be cool if you will add packs of lvl 5 to be more easy atleast ... or idk make also gems free and make lvl6 talisman around 599 gold roans or somthing and reduce the rate drop for SGT in packs :) idk .. there need to be a good way to make everyone happy because if will be in that way .. we gonna have pvp and if pvp is ON, then players gonna be ON and the server gonna work good .. basic that the solution to have a sweet server, you need to have pvp... and try to keep the server as much you can like one classic one because that what we like :) little costum things and ofc one stable host company ... i think that everything you need to have a sweet server instead others are full of bad owners or bad manage ... and ofc corruption is on .. and that what we as players hate the most :) hope you will take my topic in consideration for your building server and i'm waiting for it :) i will be glad to join into it with my friends circle
