active players?

hello,

today i saw how GMs tryed to make events twice in this day, however, none of these events happend? why - because everyone's afk. ( no wonder, not many people would stay online for 5-10 hours just for a random gm event)

so, heres long story short:

Less people would be afk if you could fix CC to work every 2-3 hours.

now the long story:

It's important for every server to have a lot active players. low-exp servers doesnt have any spots, so its better running around a spot and killing them, thats why these servers got active players.
While high exp servers has really high exp, and players needs to reset pretty often - thats another way of having active community.

However, our server is more mid-rates so its harder to have active players. Blood castle, devil square are good events, however they require jewel of chaos, that is rare enough and people cant go to every BC/DS.
Golden invasions also happens few times a day, however these monsters are too strong for new players. And i do not think you should make invasions easyer, because now we have one more reason to level for.

So i came to this conclusion that we need a CC:

I was a player in GMO and i did notice, that when CC was introduced, i became more active, because CC was happening like every hour. Thats when i started playing the whole day.

I think, you guys could make CC happen each 3 hours in server3 and each 2 hours in server2. that would be another advantage for donators and also thats a really good way to make the server active. also - thats another place where players could compete also - resets aren't the main thing that matters in CC, because mobs explode, that's why you need some luck and good tactics.

 

intresting opinion, and i must admit i agree......well comments are needed here

 

i don`t know if CC is really bringing people from afk to online mode.. i personaly don`t participate at cc but i do go to golden invasions or WW, and in my opinion the events are equilibrated, i dont think that is needed to raise the number of cc events per day.

IF people don`t participate at events made by MM then it means they are JUST lazy!!!... Most of them are saying to the admin to make a scramble event in order to stay on spot and level.:w00t: :screwy: :doh:

I understand that there`s a battle for the power.. and u have to be big in order to pk or to win CS, but at a moment all we`re gonna be the same. And i don`t understand why to leave afk,and be the biggest on the server if you don`t have fun at events (of any kind)...............

 

i disagree with u explosion cause in every cc i ever been on this server it was minimum 4 person on each serv and now if it will be only on 1 serv it will give 7ppl i hope on this event... many ppl wanna win anc to make a set or wings ;D.. so i think many ppl wil participate at CC as well... and hopefull they wont be afk all day... and it will give more fun than other events like bc / ds... .
its more then ppl joing gms event ^^...

 

and also theres another thing. some players maybe go to WW and rabit invasions, but i prefer going CC, WW or rabits just aren't that fun. you dont have to fight anyone for the prize except for few mobs.

CC brought me from afk in GMO (i even leveled a BK special for CC4). why wouldnt it bring people from afk here? after all, CC is the easyest way to get ancient items and/or jewels. it wouldnt dissbalance the server economics either, so i think thats a good step forward.

 

i am on the fence with this one...

on one hand you'll be battling more people and it could bring more people to CC...but having gone to the one at 9 pm (gmt-2) for almost 2 months now...i have yet to get an ancient for winning it...so ancient drops really low in cc right now (in my opinion)

but on the otherhand cc every 2-3 hours could bring more people from afk because it would offer other prizes than jewels and box of kunduns...

and if cc were to happen every 2-3 hours and ancients were dropping like crazy or higher than lot would be...the price of them would go way down attributing more to the declining in game economy...

so i guess if i had to vote on this i would be against making it every 2-3 hours...maybe 2-3 times a day just like any other event...but make it at random times so that people need to be active to join in

 

actually prices should stay the same if we keep the same/a litle increased drop rate at CC.. people would still go to at least collect jewels. each CC drops 1bless2souls if im right + the prize, which can be a jewel as well. and CC each 3 hours would make worth going, because CC would drop at least 1ancient/day.

and about the random time.. well, i dont think thats such a good idea - not everyone can stay online for hours just to wait for a CC. this would cause less people joining CC = event not so interesting.

Even if people try spending minimum time at CC, im sure they would be at PC like 10-15mins before CC and chatting with friends for some 30 mins after that.

CC wont guarantee 24/7 players uptime, however it should make people more active at CC time.

 

well each time i have went to CC past couple months...it has been the 1bless 2 soul and then either creation or jewel of life as a prize...and even when another person came into CC prize was still only a jewel...so unless they would change the prize to 100% drop of ancient...and have it only a couple times a day would you maybe get the max amount of people in CC...i remember last season it was almost impossible to get in CC at certain times of day cause so many went because it was almost 100% ancient drop...

my guess about this whole afk problem...is that nothing is going to fix it until most the people are max stats or are the few who actually care to be online to chat...and maybe then after they get max stats will they not be afk...cause then they may just sit lorencia for items afk...who knows... but i'm guessing most suggestions are not going to fix anything with the AFK problem

 

chaos castle in season 3 was every 4 hours,.... maybe 4 again now would be more fitting,.

and yea until some players get at least 1 char full stats this afk problem will still plague us

 

to be honest LoT isn same as it was in S3... drop is lowered as well and if ya drop there 1 or 2 anc with spending there all day u will be lucky...
So CC will bring a bit more ancients on market for me its good, its bigger chance to make anc set on+13 or wings... .

 

agreed with d3mon

for now the srv has a small lag probl on srv1 witch is being investigated
