Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

I play on this server for around 2 months more or less, from the first day I wanted to help as much I can to make the server a better place for every1 to be, I did that by reporting every single bug I find & by suggesting ideas for changes that could make the server better/more fun to play, some things got fixed (although after a long time..) some other not yet, some ideas have implemented & that was for the better of the server but what server need is much more than that, I don't know if the GM's is pleased with how things r curently in their server population-wise but I'm sure that players r not.

People still shouting in search of ppl to join events or to join Oly the low population hurt the server & make ppl bored & put thoughts on their mind for quiting(& lot's of ppl quit every day)me including & it's natural because if that's what the best private Freya server have to offer then better search for an active Hi5 server that will offer me much more fun that I "don't" have here due to low population & various other reasons, I'm sure I'm not the only one who think that way, still I had high expectations for this server & really wanted to change for the better, to succeed, that's why I try to be patient & observe how things going w8ing for this important changes server need but never come till now.

Although I might not be here in the coming days playing active I still want to give those friendly suggestions to GM's on this server, what I think the server needs to rejuvanate & attract more & more ppl if things stay as it is right now it's more than obvious that ppl will continue to quit in the future & that doesn't sound very good when population is the way it is right now right? server is dying & something must happen before that happen so here what I suggest GM's can very well ignore it, players might disagree with some of that but if the GM's follow this formula I'm more than certain this will do 1 thing for this server, IT WILL BRING MORE PEOPLE.

1. Increase XP/SP rates to x20, Adena to at least x15 as for Spoil they could make it x15 also or leave it x10 w/e.

2. Put all the buffs (except Kamaels/selfbuffs) from every buffer until Lv79 to npc buffer, this will automaticaly make the server more attractive to all those ppl who can't have a bazilion clients open or don't want to lvl a bazilion buffpets.

3. Make the buffs to last 2 hours.

4. Event vote system (I suggest it many times already) let the ppl to vote what event they want to play as every1 know some events ignored atm such as Last Hero or even Death Match because those have only 1 winner & ppl r not confident enough they can do it or they know they won't get any rewards compare to TvT that their chances to win something r much higher, also more maps for TvT would be nice variety spice things up some times ppl need a change.

5. Events must take place every hour as it is right now I log at 9:00 AM (GMT+2) & I must w8 until 5:00/6:00 PM for an event to start we r talking for 8-9 hours here of no events at all, nothing! & that's really bad why ppl who like to play in the morning can't join events? a vote system for events that take place every hour will fix all those probs.

6. PvE-only mana pots yep I already suggest that a few times & I believe that's of the outmost importance to bring more casters on this server than now have almost none, atm the server is melee-based, the mana pots will also help archers that also I don't see any on the server this server is seriously a melee-only server there is no Nukers no Archers I wonder if any GM thought why, well the answer is this "MP" those classes can't do sh1t w/o MP the PvE-only mana pots would solve all those probs & more Nukers & Archers would start playing on the server.

7. More sites to vote for the server/more advertising/other ways to advertise the server, all that & more just 1 site to vote is not enough other servers have 4-5 server lacking advertising atm.

8. Better geodata, I mention countless time in the past of how bad is geodata on this server with the time it become just a "little" better but still have a long way to go compare to other servers, things r still bery bad chars still stuck on various places, some places r un-clickable like there is no ground & that's unbelievable annoying & in some places we have invinsible walls block our way & we spam arrows on keyboard in order to move through it, & there is also the prob with mobs from wrong places appear in wrong arreas.

9. Heroes every 2 weeks, yep this is something many servers out there do & I think that most ppl would prefer it if Heroes selected every 2 weeks compare to one month, the reason is more than obvious that way ppl will have more chances to get Hero & this will make Oly more active as it is right now ppl join Oly at the start & at the end of the month mostly that's what I have notice, so for the most part Olympiad fights r non existent for one very big portion of the month so Oly stay inactive, if Hero decided sooner the ppl would start join much more compare to now even forced because they won't have much time anyway to complete their matches.

10. Include noble stones to event shop so ppl will be able to buy them with Event Apiga, lot's of ppl have Vesper set but less than 5% of those set r nobless over 90% never unseal their Vesper set in order to open the cloak slot, noble stone farming in Freya is extremely dificult compare to Hi5 I know that it's much easier to get Event Apiga compare to Gold Apiga so the price can be high but at least give them the option to ppl to buy them someway.. at the momment only those who donate or only those who r extremely rich & can spent over 7 billion adena buying enough GA for the 2500 noble stone u need more or less have unseal them.

So that's my suggestions, my plan to rejuvenate the server, if some1 have some nice idea & want to post it go ahead the more good ideas the better, the prob is if the GM's r going to take seriously those ideas & decide to go for it or do nothing & leave the server die slowly day by day.

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

1. No way u really mess up the server with these rates. Thats a college party not server rates xD
2. Buffs are ok with the way they re now, with that u re telling now forget buffers as classes or mains or for raids etc.
3. Nope mostly coz of raids
4. 5. and 7. seem logical and good
6. Its a retail server , noone wants mana potions u can use other things for that like rechargers (here for example is usefull buffer as main) or elixirs
8. ofc everyone agrees with that but its not easy u need good money for that.
9. With that logic lets make heroes every day xD. Man there are many ppl who dont have much time to oly or play generally. Some doing oly early at month some others the last days. Competition for heroes is good and oly runnin almost every day
10. Not bad idea, i ve seen also nobles stones in grand olympiad manager which u can buy with oly tokens on another server but thats a good idea too.

I play on this server since it started like delaras2 on the post above. Trust me we both care for the server and we have done many things. We like the server with the way it is like many others and yes we started with 20-30 ppl and now there are 600+ so Ignis handling it good. He has done/fixed many things which helped the server few bad too but not so important or he fixed them again so trust me except the things that i agreed with u the rest are ok.

Best Regards

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

Do the above 2 ppl seriously believe the server have over 600 active ppl? did u ever think that offline shops & buffpets don't count as "active" ppl ? do u know what's the "real active" population on server? less than 200 ppl, my estimate is more like 150 actually but w/e, do u know how many of them join Oly? maybe 30%, do u know how many of them join events? maybe 15% (or less) server can't continue like this server is full of buffpets that's why the numbers u see online is a little high & where did u see 600+ on? I always see something like 400-450 most of the times except siege days, the server is full of buffpets most ppl open minimum 3-4 clients most open 5+ & I know ppl who open 9 or more at times (I play with 6-7 btw) all those chars they log count in the population u see so don't be delusional server pop is way lower than u think & it shows everytime I log in towns r deserted, ppl don't join Oly or events & the only thing I see is ppl quit, some times I don't see a word in shout for over half hour the server become more of a ghost town with each day pass.

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

Dude we told you we were playing with 20-30 ppl that also including the buffers and the offline shops , and u said urself that 150 ppl are on still thats an improvement dont you think?.
And also 1/2 of your suggestions are for your own benefit . Also that noble stones think , i find it unfair since most of the old ppl farmed for them or some other ppl donated for them.

p.s Can u imagine some soul hounds with mana pots?.

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

We know how many from these 600+ population are main and what not dont worry like we already said we know many things about this server more than u trust me also seems u dont log often population daily even reaches 500-550. The point is that im not sure if u care for the server or trying to ruin it and u really take it very seriously like its ur whole life lol. So take it easy and be patient things ll go better like always do.

Regards

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

And heroes every 2 weeks? rly? :D

delaras2 did u really hear that for the first time? the best/most high-populated Hi5 servers curently have it that way u know go check Tales for example or World of Ages & many-many others all have it that way so don't look so sursprised I'm more surprised with u who look so surprised by hearing this u know..

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

Btw if GM's decide to do the No2 from my list ppl will be able to see for the "first" time ever what is the real active population of server because every1 will finally log out the myriads clients they open every time they play from all those buffpets lol :P but if the do that population numbers will drop from 450-500 to lower than 200 :P yep more than 50% of those numbers u see in "Online People" is buffpets lurking in towns & inside clan halls.

(Sometimes I wonder if the reason they have limited buffs on server is for others to see this pseudo-on line population that is more than double from the real active players due to all those buffpets, & that make the server look more active so better in the eyes of newcomers...)

Re: Server rejuvenation plan - From some1 who really care.

Thanks rpgmaniac for taking your time to post this. We will take in consideration some of them. Personally I think as delaras2 and ​jaydgr.

I like 4 and 5 suggestions.
For 6, we are going to add mana recipes to manufacture in Vanir Store, and probably something else.
For 7 i assure you we are doing our best in this, if you think we can improve it or you can help, make a post about it, unfortunately most of topsites are useless, they have very few visitis per month.
For 8, ofc we want the best geodata. Actually we bought two of the supposed best geodatas for Freya, we are combining them to fix some regions where the new geodata sucks.

Best regards.

Can you pls explain more about this mana potions recipes? Will it be custom made "creation" or by this You mean the mana elixirs witch exist in lineage 2 but they are only obtainable from some clanhouses  itc?
