It doesn't work like that... You need to release content to attract new players and oldbies alike so they want to start playing again.

Thats what we are doing right now. We will hopefully release everything what I mentioned earlier in a post on the 31st March, together with the Easter Holiday Events.

and this should also be a option, 'cursed skull sword of the board'.

for example 'cursed' adds 10 damage to the weapon damage, and 'of the boar' adds 1 strenght and 10 health. Will change the stats of the skullsword to 'regular stats + 10 damage + 1 strenght and 10 health'

I like the mental support of people playing it wouldnt be that bad to have a few players pop up now and then to say hi and check out whats happening

lod brought interesting items both with the addition of runes and fun uniques. d3 essentially has the same item system as vanilla d2 and that **** is dum

tho i agree that gk could really work with some randomization on items. it's very difficult to pull off though from a balance pov

diablo this diablo that w/e

still would be cool to have what i said on gk

Something big will happen on the 31st March.

Stay tuned !

Well I listed the updates on page 4 I think. Plus there will something big happen, and Easter will be released too.

[NicoX]

Progress so far:

• Day/Night monsters with a new Day/Night System
• Lord revamp, new spawning/way- and endpoints of Lords. Also stronger then before.

Both of them are done.
Finishing the rest of the list and preparing easter to release everything on the 31st March.

See you on GK.

[BigBear3]

Thanks for the details.

[Triple_Combo]

Looking forward to the updates

[NicoX]

Update:

Easter Event done.

[NicoX]

Ok,

so pretty much every updates we planned are done.
The stat revamp aswell.

It might happen that some of the items are not balanced properly and could get a restat again.

We will try to release everything on Friday already.

I hope you will like the updates. We will also try to release updates quarterly on GK.

We will do our best to try and bring quarterly updates. We still have a lot planned for the server so I sure we will be good for a while.

#1 remove the automatic ctrl Z icon from bomboria trade, Nico, nice idea. (not)
#2 allowing players to get their items back from old houses WOULD help, still, the economy is already destroyed by Nico and Tashkin re-releasing the christmas event in fourteen different ways to save any effort of development.
#3 work on making GK free, it's nothing to pay for.

#4 Work on fixing the economy and making events WORTH attending. as an Events Admin myself, I bought every last Event Coin I could because it was the ONLY way I could raise the value of them. When the value of event coins raised, more players joined events. It worked pretty successfully.

I'd start playing actively if we had 20+ playercount and all three of these things were completed.

Yeah i agree with point 4 and i do indeed remember you doing that but it's unfortunate because I believe that the solution that they come up with was removing all Ec,dias,plat,iwds,eas from everybody regardless of our opinions. I suppose that is their resolve in order to raise the value of items.

[BigBear3]

and kale just remove idling in bomb trade in general its a stupid ****ing idea. there is no way to justify it

Will be removed with the update this weekend. PS. It wasnt my idea at the beginning.

#2 allowing players to get their items back from old houses WOULD help, still, the economy is already destroyed by Nico and Tashkin re-releasing the christmas event in fourteen different ways to save any effort of development.

We are trying to restore destroyed houses after request. You can send your request to [email protected] and I will look into it.

#3 work on making GK free, it's nothing to pay for.

We are discussing with Stefan about it already, going more in detail next week.


#4 Work on fixing the economy and making events WORTH attending. as an Events Admin myself, I bought every last Event Coin I could because it was the ONLY way I could raise the value of them. When the value of event coins raised, more players joined events. It worked pretty successfully.

We are planning to reset the economy completly, and adjust some things like Plat, Diamonds etc. it is readdy too, but waiting for Stefans OK for this.

I'd start playing actively if we had 20+ playercount and all three of these things were completed.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I got a solution/alternative to #1. I didn't think they would take me 100% serious when I suggested it and I was only using it as an example some sort of visual refrence that talking to this person will result in no response.. So why not just make people invisible when they are idle for so long? You can see them in the playerlist, they wont clutter the level up at all, and they can still idle.

[BigBear3]

omfg just ****ing disconnect them

We will keep the icon and remove the emotion, should be enough. Its not like it is important or so

Uhg, seriously. Just disconnect them. You have no idea how much of a pain in the ass it is when you press F7, and then the graal window itself kinda losses focus. You cannot press keys to move player unless you click the screen, or press tab twice (some reason only tab works after F7).

And no this is not an isolated problem to Mac, this also was the case with PC and Linux versions.

And like I mentioned before, this crap where people have the same name, and require me to have to actually open profile to see whos who, is beyond crazy. Who ever decided the name "not nullify" was popular needs shot. I dislike seeing 2, 3 and even 4 people with this name. And oh my god, when Stephen starts that Mudkip stuff, and EVERYONE has that name.. I might as well log off and play another game. It will be impossible for me to tolerate on any level. =/

Just wish the people who want information "at a glance" wern't discriminated against like this.

Edit:
Aparently if you just resize window to the whole screen instead of like F4/Alt+Enter, you can't use tab to focus back on the graal window. You have to click. =/ and you have no idea how anoying that can be on a touchpad.. ROFL

Can we get a pros and cons about letting people idle endlessly?

is hatred89 paying u all or soemthing

Pros:

1. Players who don't have forum accounts can leave you messages like an answering machine
2. Higher playercount
3. People see you actually still play the game (especially if you met them different timezones)

Cons:

1. Players don't realise your just on the server idle, and that the majority of the population is artificial.

But don't be fooled, that con can outweigh thos pro's anyday.

I'm really looking forward to participating in this Easter, from the staffs previous posts you guys have finished basically everything though is the Easter Event going to be released today because normally Easter lasts up to a week and you guys planned to release it on Sunday. I mean this as a suggestion but like if it's already finished wouldn't it be an advantage to have the Easter event starting today? According to the previous few years of Easter there was usually a week of Easter, I don't think I'm only speaking for myself but having it on Sunday it would quickly collide with school hours, not only high-school but definitely university/college and without a doubt I can guarantee a large portion of GK players are students. I do also want what's best for GK which is the reason I suggest having Easter start today, it's clear that on event's like these GK's player count is greater on weekends then week-night.

Well so far the updates are being uploaded. Lords now have new waypoints. They keep moving, and shouldn't stop. Item stats have also changed. Hop on and check it out.

[Nuke_for_you]

Why cant we see the stats of items on crafting tables yet?
