N-Pulse PC or iPhone (Read post first)

[Ducati_Link]

I have talked to many a players - and some want iphone, some want PC. I'd say I have come across more that want iphone than PC.. because they can play more often and catch up that way.

I think you want iphone server and this thread is completely useless. Do what you want and dont let others get in the way.

Her only care is more players. Because her formula is that more players is more fun. She will argue that till the death and has already done so. Forget about the forfathers of the server, you have your own needs to fulfill.

Anyone who knows me would tell you I am most certainly not about myself - I am doing this for the players, and unlike what people think.. I have talked to alot of N-Pulsians that I have contact with, about it.

Go Ahead and post the count you got for people who don't have forum access then that were part of the n-pulse community.. that would rather be iphone..

your doing it for the "playercount" not the "players" themselves tho.

Even in the BEST case senario it goes iPhone and Facebook.. sure it may have 750-1500 players roughly online at a time, most of them with 10 minutes to 10 hours. I was actually on earlier and couldn't find many people over 5-10 minutes online time. But then the Facebook version lags, and heaven forbid you use linux like me, because then your flash support is horrible. If only we also had HTML5 version =/

If everyone is gonna focus on the playercount, there will never be a server with high enough quality to restore some glory to PC Graal, and thus it will never get any attention from Stefan.

My point exactly Oh well, at least I'm not the only one noticing.

Sure - here is part of it if you so wish to read. I am keeping peoples names out of it, as it's facebook and it's peoples real names.


<N-Pulseian 1>
I dont have the iphone! I have an android

<Me>
there is no android version yet
so would that mean you'de prefer PC?

<N-Pulseian 1>
Not really... i dont use my pc. Id rather someone buy me an iphone!!!!

<N-Pulseian 2>
I want it to be iPhone.

<N-Pulseian 3>
Is rather it be android and like staff can use pc version like delteria. X

<N-Pulseian 2>
Staff can go on PC.
I just think its pointless to have it PC only as it will get a whole 6 or 7 people on at peak times most of which will probably be staff

<N-Pulseian 4>
Iphone= more players=better then pc version

<N-Pulseian 3>
Pc version is doomed xD

<N-Pulseian 3>
I like the idea of making ipulse hehe

<N-Pulseian 4>
I dunno if this Convo Is still up or not but, I dont like playing anything other then board games for the iPhone. The controls are too hard as my hands are too big and the screen too small. I'd prefer pc, but either way I'd be around. iPhone's fine!

<N-Pulseian 5>
I personally like pc version (:

<N-Pulseian 6>
I don't have an iphone so I don't know which is better or more fun however I do know that most people have a PC or Laptops and those who have iphone might also have a PC or Laptop. Perhaps the majority still wins. Just sayin’

<N-Pulseian 7>
iPhone I guess for the player count. Just a shame i'm on Android

What is a server with no players? I'm really not to sure what that achieves... apart from.. a lot of wasted time?

The PC player count is already limited, and with a selection of some very good servers coming.. how do you keep afloat? You don't.. it just dwindles like it did before.

[scriptless]

So let me get this straight?

So out of those people you listed, 4 said they would not be capable of playing an iphone server but were more for the idea, guess it benefits them none.

3 more also said they were 100% for iPhone and that pc was dooooomed.

So if 2 people on the forum say iPhone plus the 3 from your list that would actually benefit from an iPhone server, you know catching up and so on....

Even if you don't count the 4 that would not be helped the vote thus far would be 5 to 9... almost a 50% pc favor. =/ and thats not counting people it could potentially help bumping the count to as far as even 5 vs 13... =/

If Zodiac and Era can hold over 50 players, any other server can too.. so to say that the pc will only have 8 players.. if you go the way of pure event system then yes you will fail. Otherwise you cant make such assumptions. Quality content = what the players what.

By one of your graalians math, more players = more fun.. if i took 1000 players and put them in a single room with nothing to do it would be absolute fun? am i correct? WRONG! n-pulse lacked quality at the end when the quests were removed you shot yourself in the leg.

And if people make good centent for the pc players will keep playing.. i watch you guys chase your playercount off.. i witness people yelling at new players till they log off.. its sickening.

I see at least a favour of 7 with iphone, in a short count. I messaged 9 people off hand to ask.. 6 comes back with iphone in favour, 2 pc, and 1 had no real opinion on the matter.

If I'd like to waste more time in trying to prove I have more of a backing, I could. But I really dont see the point?

Look at the 2 highest count servers, Era and Zodiac.. neither are classic servers. Then you have GK.. that isn't a classic server either. The best thing you have to a classic server at the moment is UN.. and it's player count isn't as great. We dont want to take N-Pulse out of it's classic state, as to us, that isn't what N-Pulse is.

We could argue this till the cows come home really - but at the end of the day, you arn't going to please everyone, you can't.. If I changed my mind and went for PC, I would have people complaining about that.. where in this situation do you win? Sadly, for you, someone has to make a decision, and that has been me and my core team.. and we have decided that this is the best move for N-Pulse.

Actually numbers 1, 2 and 6 did not own an iphone. I miscounted, #6 prefered PC but said he would also like a iPulse..

My major point here is that your not looking at whats best for the community but the server itself. Your ousting us infavor for new players at a higher count. And the numbers here all speak for themselves. I am not saying you can please everyone but you should try and please as many as you can. customer service is key.

Also un needs alot of work done to it, you basically have no competiton. Zodiac and Era arnt great because they have non classic style and GK is only failing because everyone is max level 110 sitting in bomboria trade. I am a LONG time GK player. This account alone is 2,500 hours. Scriptless2 is about 1,700 hours. And I could add up another 1,500 scattered across many of my accounts. You dont know why these servers failed. You just know they did. and untill you understand there mistakes you will only be destined to repeat them.

Yeah and if you changed your server to PC you would also have more developers.

N-Pulse Community - Okay, as much as I love the N-Pulse community... I'd say a good 96% of them don't play anymore, and would have very little interest in coming back. So.. that leave us with 10'ish players.. Lets even say we get 20!
Now.. as sad as it is.. this is all voluntary work, and there is a lot of time and effort put into this, and with very limited resources.. Do I think it's counter productive to keep 10-20 N-Pulsians PC players happy.. or start fresh and make it live again, and make 100's happy.. Now.. if this makes me selfish, so be it! I am very sorry you feel that way, but I have no selfish means to this, apart from trying to do what's best for N-Pulse, and it's new and old community.

N-Pulse had nothing to "play" besides events. You took away all there questing. Completely. Once you logged onto N-Pulse you basically beat it. Even I myself quit playing after that BS move. Did you not learn from others failing by doing this?

I could prove you wrong about npulse struggling like UN if it came back. But I would rather wait and let classic do that.

N-Pulse was on of the first who did it, because Graal moved from P2P and alot of people couldn't afford accounts.

And N-Pulse hasn't been favoured by the Graalian Gods, I can count many projects that were in the making.. but sadly still didn't make a huge difference. I think one of the best chances N-Pulse had in the past was to merge with EoA, and it kinda did happen in the end.. but again, so many peoples disliking to change.. not alot of stuff went forward. So, am I blaming the community for this? well I guess in a little way, yes. I really like to question how much you played N-Pulse, and for how long..

As for Classic, yes, that is an incredible server! as is Atlantis.. both have small teams, but have people who are amazing at what they do! We don't have so much luck.. N-Pulsians seem to breed LAT's more than anything, and as nice as levels can be.. it's probably the least special development type. I dont have their resources, and we dont have people like that willing to dedicate their time for us.. so, no.. we can't really compete with them...
