Tired of a Dead Server

[jonnyrocks2]

Hey Pat, if you need help, I'll try and make time to pop on and lend a hand on the prizes bit, but as stated, I'm heavily weighted down by school currently.

Still say the game fails. It just passes time now.

I think the decrease of players can be blamed somewhat on lack of updates, but I think what really needs to happen is GK be closed down for awhile so they can release a huge update. To bring back the playercount.

I know that sounds crazy but I have seen other games that have done this go from a playercount of 1000, to a playercount of 3000.(Not graal btw)

Over the last week or so i've not been online much because the playercount was too low.

[Crimson2005]

17:20pm GMT - GK has 0 players online.

Fair enough it's not peak hours but still......

Sad indeed But everyone knows the reason, I mean when was the last gameplay update? A new town isnt nearly enough!

[Ravenblade1979]

Well last update was trial island...I know maroku is working with bjorn on a new event...not sure what Tigs doing and I think john wants to start on a new cave

What I really love is how people will piss and moan about the server being dead, but when they're asked what they want the best they can come up with is "new stuff!" And if hey can one-better that, which is rare - it's "new monsters LOL"...


It's too easy to complain, the server would hardly be dead if any of you cared half as much as you act. When something is broken there's always a very specific reason, or a collection of specific reasons - it's not just "broken"... and GK is no different.

Its not that the problems are a secret, aren't they?

Nothing to do, odd ways to level, broken gameplay and economy. Some patches won't do it rather a good makeover.

If they're so obvious, why can't anyone put a finger on the specifics? And why is it that, when someone takes the time and effort to do it - they get ignored.

I'm referring to Ed, here.

It would still be dead. The existence of action doesn't guarantee a server's survival. When 2K1 was dying, just about everything was tried (new features, new events, new monsters, reset, etc.) and it didn't do a thing. If you want to see if an idea has potential, ask yourself what reasons a player has to play 2K2 instead of Zodiac, and then see if that idea adds to that list in a meaningful way.

My statement stands true in itself. If players were more interested in helping and less in complaining they would be occupied, so much so that they probably wouldn't leave because "there's nothing to do".

Occupied doing what? Playing the server? We're talking about a group of around 10 forumgoers, most of whom actually do play the server. Developing? Even if it were possible, development in and of itself accomplishes very little.

Or they say like "New items plz"

[anubis_wing]

Said it before and I'll say it again food system = not noob friendly.
People don't wanna spend any time getting food to keep their food level up no matter how easy it is to get food. Plus it's so hard to level up for noobies, sure first few levels are easy but after that the noob killer kicks in and makes it like impossible for noobs to level because they can't kill anything due to lack of equipment.

Need more noob friendlyness.
