    Dear DiabloMU Players,

    Since the Season 6 is almost finished and i can guarantee it's gonna be a great success, i've also thinked on some major changes that I suppose it will bring great benefits.

    So here are the changes i've got in my mind so please think before making your vote:

    1. We'll disable VIP and NON-PvP servers so a PvP server and Event (Castle Siege) server will be available.
    As soon as we reach again 300+ online players we'll add a second pvp subserver

    What this means? Simple ... a bigger and united community, more competition for everyone since all players will be on one server.


    2. I've already established that max stats will be 32767 since 65000 brings some bigger disadvantages over all classes and the reset stats system will be the same but you will get 350 points per rr reaching max stats at 360 resets which should be done pretty fast.


    3.
    The most important thing of all. I've thinked of taking out all donation items. There will be a VIP Account feature that will double your exp, increase some success rates and bring some features such as extravaults, etc
    There will also be a feature called VIP Money which you'll be able to buy on a cheap price.
    Those who already donated DO NOT WORRY. We kept our promise since 2006 and we are planning to do it now as well. Instead of a FO items +13 you'll get a +3 option items at yourchoice and probably at +15 with no additional money cost.

    How will this benefit? Simple... everyone will equal when it comes to pvp and everything. I've took away some defence and dmg from the new customised items anyway since they were a bit too strong.

    So there will be smth like VIP Account, FO Wings and VIP Money available for donations. No more sets, weapons, shields, etc



    Some other changes have been made to bring more competition such as pack of jewels as reward in bc event, deleted plenty of custom items so there are about 5-7 custom sets for each char left and some weapons. Everything is now better thinked when it comes to new events and also this time you will be able to get all customised and old items to +15.

    I want you guys to comment on my thoughts and also make a vote

    Personally i think that the one server idea would be great, as its always nice to see everyone together.

    And as it is right now not many people even use server 2 anyways. And having vips to be able to gain their benefit exp while leveling with non vips is a good idea too!

    there are also 6 new buffers integrated. 3 for normal chars and additional 3 for vip

    Let's not forget S6 has the brilliant Quest System which includes about 200 quests :)

    I need some opinions about 3rd point too

    Great news, those changes as you said will bring together the community and we will not be separated in one thousand sub servers :p
    As always the team comes with great changes to make the game more interesting and entertaining. "Bring them on!!!" should be the new motto :))

    This sounds great. Specially the 3rd part. Would definitely balance the PvP factor and lessen the tension betweeen donors and non donors. I remember back in S3 Palos and other people who hadn't donated even single dime to buy F.O items, were able the challenges F.O donors, only with 2 option sets. Now donors having "only" 3 option sets max would truly make it interesting.

    Will exce + ancient set combination still exist? Because it would be something with truly unbalancing effect in my opinion.

    Dunno about the reset system. I found the S3's lower exp but no stat rr -system more comfortable. But hey, if the majority likes it the current way then I'll just have to deal with it ^^


    Anyways, with the planned changes mentioned above, I guess S6 will attract quite more people online than previous season did :wink:

    Well if it's said that F.O item's options will be reduced down to 3 options, then logically it should be that way. Since F.O is F.O, no matter what it is.

    enm4nuel , that is true as well but this will make you stay even more online so you can get your revenge.

    My first server when i started MU was a single server pvp and i must tell you their team sucked a lot, but the thinking strategy they had was brilliant.

    Anyway i've looked for some low exp servers that got success and they are not many ... max 5 and pretty much the reason of opening a new server should be just because of online players number.

    As i've said ... should be a lot better by brining a continous competition among players

    Also ingame items have been rethinked entirely and there will be no more exc+socket items. Max exc or socket items options available on server will be 3 but it will be pretty rare ofc.

    Aaape, only those who donated will receive +3 opt sets instead. Except that, no one will be able to buy any other item exc/socketed set, weapon or shield. Only VIP Status, VIP Money and Wings will be available for donations

    I'm not agree with the third proposal.
    Initially i though that a 3 opt set is a good ideea instead Fo set but let's think right.
    Players who donated for FO sets should get back FO set, not 3 opt set, as soon as the donated items are life time guaranted (as u said)

    thanks

    Well, the items aren't going anywhere, they still will be there after S6, with 3 options. While as no new players playing S6 can even obtain 3 option sets (excluding Lord Mix). So it's pretty fair.

    if luck and add are not considered options, then changing FO sets in 3 opt sets is not a bad ideea.
    A set with luck+add+ref+dsr+dd will looks great.
    So, this is a big question; luck + add are considerend options?

    What options do you really care in a set except ref, dsr, dd? :) Items are given back and in case of smth they will be replaced with the best ones available and having all of these still give you a good advantage. Anyway our interest is to gain more players but same time i'd say we always respected and will respect our policy despite some of you that trade the items in the past and should have been punished back then

    Most of you that replied here don't even play anymore and wait for a wipe or different things. Well having more online players and bigger competition will keep you more active
