Hi,
This is a genuine question, which needs genuine discussion, I feel. I really want to know everyone's POV on this and would prefer not to turn this into a toxic thread like most others end up being. Please keep this topic on point.
I feel like this server has gone too far in one direction, if you look at the current people playing they are all 190+ (I am level 200 myself). Even at level 200 I cannot compete with the top 10 players. This is not a plea for sympathy from me, this is a server that has lost it's direction. Account sharing is frowned upon in the rules yet all your top players / donators share accounts, and are killing bosses 24/7, robbing them from other users following the rules.
Despite that massive annoyance/injustice of that - the server isn't attracting new players, period. And it certainly isn't maintaining the few new players who join.... Quite simply, you are LOSING players hand over fist because they are FED UP with what is happening. Elysian ore is the main driver. Some examples, excusing PK (could write a whole other post about how messed up it is that lvl 200 players actively hunt lvl 120's). PK is NOT the main issue here and has too much focus.
ELYSIAN ORE is a huge problem - this whole scenario is disgusting, we have the top 10/10 players creating and maintaining guilds, taking advantage of what little noob population we have literally using new players for GP in alt guilds whilst filling them full of hope of a better life, even though that never comes and when it suits the top player they simply join the guild they've made on the alt a couple of times a week for free entry to caves and take all the ore from unsuspecting noobs.
We have players who take this further, again the 10/10 who teleport with recall kits 10 of their own noobs on separate accounts to get GP in their alt guilds whilst they kill the mobs themselves and further exploit themselves to greatness.
Their rewards for all this exploitation? Best kit in the game. Most money in the game. Why would anyone else stick around? Genuinely I'm 200 and realising this, so what's the point? You are on the verge of having a server with no new life, because you are blindly letting this exploitation happen against your own rules. Basically if you cheat the system you win

. It says in the server announcements cheaters don't win, it also says don't account share. Yet... you let both of these happen blindly??????????????????
Fed up,
Most of the server.
