About christmas...

[Felix_Xenophobe]

Could someone explain why you didn't basically redo last year's christmas event with new craftable items? You had the graphics for it obviously... Surely that would have brought in more players than the whole 2 freebies and a grind for most tokens thing you got going.

Some constructive criticism for next event:

1. Come up with item stats based on actual viable builds (you know, so people will actually use the items you release) and try to give unviable builds some love... lookin at you caster and archer builds...

2. If you're going to rely on raffles to spread the big loot you should give a few days notice at least.

3. Don't waste perfectly fine graphics on statless or completely useless items. Both swords released were physical attack only. Just one elemental attack on them and they'd be perfectly viable item choices in a build. Thunder sword and ice flame sword used to be free remember?

Hope everyone had a great christmas both online and offline. See you all next holiday event.

When will the xmas shop be opened? I still have tokens form last year, will these be usable?

They won't be usable, unfortunately.

They wanted to remove the boxes to prevent so many items filling up the server. A lot of items have been released since Christmas 2011.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there 3 anvils in the xmas shop? One was for boxes, the other two were for introducing completely new items no?

Had they just taken away the boxes (which should have been toned down for easter already but nobody listened back then. same goes for halloween) and put the new free items in the xmas shop instead they'd have a perfectly fine holiday event.

Free+bad stats = not fun
Tokens+neat stats = fun

You released boxes -EVERY- SINGLE holiday since boxes were released in 2011! take Easter 2010 for example, a new idea, new way to get exp, a new working map system, and - wait for it - a motivated token system that didn't involve Mystery Boxes!

The gift shop just makes me laugh at how little care there is for the server by the people working on the holiday events. You can't brainstorm some stats for a new build on a cheap item that wouldn't **** the economy? (rabbit feet, ivy bow, easter belt, just from the top of my head)

I agree they could have added a shop to craft items. Put less items in the free shop and created neat items to be crafted. I was just stating why the boxes were not added. Hopefully we will start seeing some of the ideas I have talked to Nico about being added now.

how about development and updates? when tig was in charge of the development stuff, which I believe the staff admin is in charge of now, he released kvasir and maintained a solid holiday schedule with fun quests and ****. now it's just NO RELEASES, MINOR CHANGES (mostly to stats to common items), and a LONG wait for holidays that never seem to come.

Which is exactly what I have been wanting to get done for over a month now. Nico is in charge of Development and he is going to start getting some of the things I wanted to see started now.

Nico is very resourceful and I feel confident he can actually get stuff accomplished.

so.. what do you do? Why is Nico not Staff Admin if he's in charge of development? Why couldn't you complete the things you wanted done over a year ago when you were put as EA (without even being an EM...)?

with this said, I currently doubt Nico's capability.

GK, the server where everyone afks between holiday seasons. Really need some actual content
