Lol Zid, I don't need to pat myself on the back or list all I have done for our server (Govinda) but thank you for sharing your accomplishments.
The community is 50% responsible for the low population, when can someone get on a run to get set skills? get quests done in hardmode? etc that would be endgamers guild responsability to help with that, Gameforge has nothing to do with this. Disturbed with friends in other guilds have helped people to get the 65/70 set skills for a lot people on Reni. We are not endgame but we do it the community as a whole and better the server, some just don't get that and it's all about : What do i gain to do this?
Well to those who were aware of gold buying, duping etc, it is the players/community to let Gameforge know about it and get them out of the game for good, we did on Reni as soon as we knew, didn't take a month for us to let the GM's know. But i agree people who participated in gold buying/duping etc should have been permaban, not get 30 day slap on the wrist and lame excuses to get out of the ban. We have a fully upgrade castle/skin and building VII and up, all legit and a lot of hardwork to get it and we are very proud to have it since it was done cleanly
It is the players responsability to let other players know about how to get the most out of the events, we did on Reni. I use my own megaphones to world shout events, XP/TP weekends/diamonds sales etc as many others also do on Reni. I put my 18 alts for the fairytale festival for people to get their titles everyday, TO HELP OTHERS!!!!! I farm EOJ'S 6/8 hours a day when i can and mainly give the stats away to guildies and friends in other guilds. BTW got 5 bad EOJ pulls out of 105 pulls, i say it's pretty decent. And why should F2P get more incentive then other players? then i want an incentive for diamond buyers to get 20 poms/per 100$ spend when purchased, i'd be good with that since i support keeping the servers paid for.
lol at this thread. Everyone has a slightly different gaming experience which makes every single pro/con in this thread subjective - i.e. there is no right or wrong statements being made here, just opinions shaped by personal experiences and expectations.
So in short, you are not right, he/she is not wrong - everyone is simply expressing their opinion. Perhaps a bit less time trying to prove who is right and who is wrong might actually yield some insight into the state of the game.
Agreed, all we can do is base our opinions on our personal experience.
