Dear GM

[ggggfv]

Just my 2 cents as a player who's been on and off here for a while, I don't see much toxicity in game but damn some of the forum stuff is pretty toxic and kind of funny, personally it doesn't really bother me, Mainly because I'm too low or don't do wars and such I'm assuming but I think it does create a bad look for the server not so much the in game stuff but the forum stuff for sure.

I've always wondered, being such a small server/community why there is so much hate between some guilds/players or even to new players in general, Very few people want to guide/help new players, show them where to go or what do to and finding info is tough unless you put in a bit of time on these forums digging though old posts. Why not make rules around war and gear drops I'm not really involved with wars or pvp at all i try to stay away from it because I don't want to lose my gear haha but if there was some kind of anything lost in wars will be return kind of thing id 100% be more interested in it, I know that's not in the spirit of it all but damn if I lost something worth 1000+ gg id be spewing lol and then going in "shop kit" doesn't make it as fun? idk like I say I don't partake so I could be miles off on my take, the onetime I did go to a war I was a lowbie and lost a holy crystal helm, I'm still sad about that haha and man some of the gear ive seen on some people, no way id risk that stuff haha

I've been back for about a month or so now and the changes to the server since I last played (was ages ago can't really remember) are great I should hit 180 soon but for new players there is so much pick up and like Oldwolf mentioned its rough trying to catch up I think making it a lot easier for new players to reach 170/180 and getting to the "end game" would benefit the server greatly not sure what it's like starting from 0 but I've done 160ish to 180 in this past month not going to super hard out.

But even at 180 I don't feel like I'm at the "end game" or even at the start of it i want to do the upgrades but then that's another whole thing in itself I feel like the upgrade system needs to be changed somehow all of the older upgrade crafting materials should have higher drop rates or decreased amounts needed. No one is ever going to put the time into upgrading armour/weaps of that older stuff you'll just end up out leveling the gear before you ever get to finish the upgrades unless you're doing it for just something to do.

I'd really love to do the upgrades but the time needed for the item gained just isn't worth the effort until you get to the higher "end game" stuff and even then I'm assuming the drop rates are probably terrible, the Nage Ore drops like candy where I haven't even found x1 corrupted gem chip, granted I haven't really started hunting there yet but I have done tons of orc city mobs and I've just made x1 Orc Spirit Stone last night by the time I had the materials needed for the upgrade I'll be lvl 190+ or even higher.

I know it's meant to be a grind but its damn near impossible for Joe average jamming a couple hrs a night, Would it be such a bad thing to have much higher drops rates on older crafting materials once a new "tier" comes out that way the top stuff isn't super easy to get and gives the top end guys something to do, while the lower guys can actually work towards something useable and rewarding,

lol damn turned into a bit of a rant haha and kind of went off topic a bit but of well

Much love from New Zealand, Chur

Finally a reasonable request, i agree with everything you have said.

In my opinion Arcadia has ran its course, of course there are still people who enjoy it and that's great for them, however I hope Scorpion and the team decide to work on a new server in the future to keep mir alive. This doesn't mean Arcadia has to close.

I say this as someone who hasn't completed all the content on Arcadia but based on the fact that the community I played with has moved on, and that's what Mir is, the community. A fresh server could bring that community back. But I could be wrong.

No doubt they're the best GM's out there. At least you know their servers aren't going to close in six months.
