EP5 Skills?

[crazyShaiya]

is there currently a release for the EP5 skills for levels above 3?

No, and there won't be a release with this fix

[crazyShaiya]

I was just checking, I have it figured out and I wanted to see if servers are interested in buying it.

There has been discussed about this topic, as Shaiya Community is already way too spread between that many servers we have, that to release the EP5 skill fix would spread the community even more, as making a server is way too easy right now because of some software developed that does 99% of the job for people, and anyone, following the tutorials that are posted in here can set a server up in 2 hours top...

If you want to sell it, it is your decision, but if you actually love this game, as many of us do, you will understand the reason of this fix not being released.

I understand that, but I think the current EP5 servers out there that dont have full skill sets would like them. I'm not going to give this away, I'm only willing to sell it. So don't worry about it making more servers out there, all it will do is make existing servers out there better.

The chain of that is, someone sells it and it will spread, but then I guess we know where this is going to end. Congratulations on fixing them

Well, to the dismay of many, I am sure, I am nearly complete with it, and I have every intention of releasing it when I do.

While I understand the logic of the matter, I can also see the extreme lack of thought behind denying it.

For one, this is a fix that a few have had for quite some time now. Two, there have been next to no releases over the past few months. I am just as guilty of this as anyone, however, most items I would have for release, have already been put out long ago.

While I will not judge anyone for choosing not to release it, as it is their choice and their right, I do not plan to follow in the footsteps.

No offense to anyone, but when a developer/owner of a well established server can not get into the exclusive "dev group", to expect them to follow suit in their feelings is quite absurd. The all seeing and all knowing ego of some when they feel they have the authority to state that something will not be released, just goes to show they feel they are the center of orbit for the Shaiya community. It is no wonder with thought of this manner that the community has such a hard time pulling together over simple matters.

The sad part of actually being willing to release it, is that I dont even plan to use it. I actually prefer the current "stagger method" we use now with the skills.

As castor stated, withholding releases in hopes of thinning the herd is no better than watching the rash of DDOS attacks climb, and baring a smile through it all.

The right to withhold a release is one thing, the reasoning is another.

On topic...I doubt many are going to trust a member with 3 posts when they are asking for cash. The fact that you would even try to profit off of it within a community such as this is just as bad as those who deny a release in hopes it will rid of the "lesser" servers. Best of luck, buyers beware. It's not an accusation, but rather a friendly piece of advice.

The fact on that is that doing absolutely everything and releasing it, has gotten to the point that people don't need to know basically anything to set a fully functioning server live; it might be that they feel "better" somehow, but the point is that people is so lazy that they just want to have everything done for them, and some people is giving and has given everything to them...

If people want to release it, it is fine by me, yet I see how after it there will come more servers with "fully functioning skills" to spread the community even more.
