Here Lies our Game of DE RIP

I think that will go very nicely on the game tombstone if admins don't get off their backside and think of something soon.

As Amherst so nicely pointed out before....we were left with half a game.

Yes yes...i know i can do all kinds of tedious boring monotonous mundane things - but why...i can only kill the same elite so many times and work those reps....for what? If nothing happens soon then why bother. I go play a game for enjoyment - as most people do I believe

Most the top dogs have gone sniffing around other hydrants to go play and morale around here has dropped in most places.

Oh well...sorry but the boring night with no one on and the Creed playlist just made me sentimental.

Keep up the great work of destroying the fun here....since that's what has been going on with everyone leaving.

Make sure to keep us posted on when these big changes are coming since the one thing that kept us going was taken away with no replacement.

Nurse Ratched i'm always around, just because you don't see me doesn't mean i'm not constantly following everything. Yes Archipelago has sunken for time being but at same time HoP was added to battlegrounds among other changes and these are not the only ones to come.
Ihit,
Can you please fix all the bugs and look at the bug posts that have been piling up since September. Just admit you haven't been around and haven't been caring, a normal functioning game wouldn't leave bug posts collecting dust since September. BTW exactly how much has the game's income sunken since the removal of archipelago? I've been hearing of plenty of exchanger stuck at 1000g for two months now. Doesn't look like this can continue, can it?
Don't treat your customers like shit, we are NOT dumb, however much you'd wish we were.
Ihit,

You are not making any sense. It;s like Hey we took your car, but ! you have new tapestry in your home !! Enjoy.
How does hop in bg can compensate for islands ??
I am still surprised DE is still around... I doubt there has been more than a thousand new player (not accounts but actual players) sense January. Of those less than 1% stayed due to the conditions the game is currently in. There is basically the big name clans, the idle medium clans who can not grow, the alt clans who basically farm for their mother clan and then the forgotten clans. I have been around for some time and recently joined 9th after leaving SW (who was one of the idle clans) The hop update to allow gb be used was nice and made me come around for it till I capped my valor 2 levels short of unlocking the next stage. I and many others have the issue of too much gold and not enough reals. Sense the old spenders will not spend like they use to for a game with maybe 500 different people on the server. (Again not accounts but actual people)

If the admins/devs of DE want to really do something to improve the game they need to remake/relaunch it, Add/fix all the current features. Have alts banned to encourage new player base. (and restricted trade between alts of a person if not banning to encourage cooperation between players to them building one account by farming on 4 others.) encourage competitive nature but limit the ability of trolling by making bc spheres have a limited use quota. After doing 4 bc curses the odds should go down to inflict another by a small amount. With each curse that penalty grows. Also add events during the week so this is not a weekend game only. removing rarely used bg and quests relating to them would help as well.

but this is just my opinion.

Are you serious? The problem lies with your clan 9th Legion and Elitist. They prevent other clans from growing. People need sydians to grow and islands is where people get majority of sydians. You Zalex and those clans I mention HOG all the sydians. That is main reason great people in great clans like Sea Wolves, Inferno Elite goes idle and allow alts from those clans to steal their clans. Now 9th Legion is complaining about not having sydians to grow because admin/developers choose to sink the islands. Hopefully they will feel the pain that other people felt for years upon years.

I don't think great people in IE go idle. Ramp still looks pretty alive to me She's the best. But, I would like islands back :D I miss my rachnis!

ok now I am scared and I have been reprimanded. Sigh.....I will behave for a little bit

Seriously though Ihit - I am not saying the changes were not good - but they don't apply to us higher levels. With no islands now - there really is nothing for us higher levels to do. Can you at least lift the cap so that it gives us something to work on besides the same pro-quests/elites/hero mobs/valor capped arenas that we are stuck with now.

PLEASE
Regarding exchangers not moving - you need to be aware that the cashers are still cashing, but just buying buffs/pots/orbs for hops instead of selling to your exchanger. If we had more farmers/fishers selling top level buffs at a decent rate, then more money would flow through exchangers again. Also with BC spheres being so much better in AOH there's another reason reals are now more useful to the player. Right now the incentive is to spend the reals as the items cost less with reals than 1.5G rate. Example is Flawless Balm of Fury = 60s or 0.30r. If your rate is at 1.5G then cashers will not sell to your exchanger, they will buy from store for reals instead. If your rate is 2G you Might find a few willing to sell, then buy what they need with silver instead.

As to being bored, I am not there yet :) I appreciate the islands closing, far less drama, and actual time to work on reputations/professions before the level 90 opens. I do miss torlings and rachnis, but I do not miss sailing endlessly for hours or the nasty pm from bullies. I hope the cap lifts soon, I hope we get the low-level gear quests that Terra has, and I hope more will stop being bored and start signing up for wars.

p.s. Karma points going to work soon?
Storm Kat,
glad you ain't bored hun - but you are the minority. And I miss and enjoyed hunting you down on the islands
RE@ ThisNsihT

clearly you are focusing on the problem instead of solutions. Mine just so happens to be shoot the cow and buy a new younger one and use what you used from the first to better grow the new one. Which is a drastic but sometimes needed business plan. You blame me for joining the ONLY major notable vaalor clan left because I was lonely. Well if it will make you feel better for being a total @hole I can do my plan B and quit. Because by action of grouping me with others that I had no say or power over you are being one.I have been part of this game for years as many of us have. I have seen clans come and go. (several of which I stayed to the end) And I have played games that just died. It is people who are trolls and hacks that are the last to leave a game not the loyal fan base. Who leave because they find better uses of their time than being called something they are not with no hope of a future in a game. I joined 9th AFTER the islands sank. I do not actively attempt to spend my rl time to be in their wars. I joined 9th because I wanted to talk to people again. Playing the game is a minor bonus to that.
I am missing the islands, but like Kat I am not bored and enjoying the extra time to work on reps (which I really need!) Bring on any new content, can't wait
ThisNsihT,
Once again you are off base, and although we do appreciate being called "great" we are far from idle.
And as for 9th being 'HOGS" again you are off base, they fought hard to get every mine they got and fought even harder to keep them, so they earned every piece of syd they got. and yes i know i will get spanked again cause DE heavens forbid I defended the 9th ppfftt (insert rolling my eyes emote)
You do amuse me though, keep the giggles coming, every game needs a negative nelly...
I have not gone, I just re-rolled... several times. I play only mains. I have been here all the time since I started playing DE in its SECOND WEEK OF EXISTENCE. It has been truly fascinating to watch this game evolve over the years. It's had its ups and downs but, all in all it has been enjoyable more than not. Yes, the devs have been a little slow with roll-outs. Yes, there are some bugs that are still unfixed from the early days (along with some new ones). Yes, they wasted a lot of time creating servers in dead markets. Knowing something about software engineering I can say these updates the devs are planning are not a small thing. Its a bit like planting a field. First you must clear it of unwanted plants. Then you must remove the rocks. Only then can you plant and fertilize. This task is large enough that old things may slip through the cracks. I personally am very fond of the PvP environment in this game. Its turn-based play is quite unique among real time games and I enjoy it a lot. I would humbly beg all players for their patience while the devs do their work. The result may very well exceed everyone's expectations.
Ihit,

I see, you are around, you just choose to ignore us. Got it.
Amherst,
Yes agree with you nurse this game is getting too boring like I barely play. I log on check things then get off
I dont want level cap raised yet. We are not ready for that. WE need the islands back to allow us to get sparks, coins, etc that the top players got that those of us still need to catch up on. By sinking the islands, you made it way harder for the rest to work on things (3 sparks at a time, this will take a while). Thus the leaving us with half a game. You are also allowing those that did get the strongest, a bigger gold return via battle grounds. Their right, they did the work. But the rest of us are trying to get there also. But you wont let us.
Pretty sure the community is the only thing thats brings us back because it isn't the gameplay.

One big disfunctional family.
