The day we see a good server ...

[Xanderॐ]

will be the day someone extraordinary pops out.

 

Did i get your attention ?  ;D Good. Taking some break from my coding since its 4:00 in the night and thought about coming in to share some thoughts. This is basically concerning the highrates, cause we do have good lowrates ( most bad , but there are good too). But in highrates, there isnt and there hasnt been anything good for a long time, pretty much since the beggining. Why hasnt this been done ?

 

Simply, highrates kill the game features designed for a slow smooth gameplay. Killing the features removes the interest and addiction from the game. We first kill exp, then sp, then procceed with killing supports and the list goes on. So yea, in terms of highrate, we are missing the necessary content needed to provide the addiction that will make ppl wanna play again. Tuning retail features for highrate standards wont work easily either, since them existing in another more "highrate" server lead ppl to exploring that instead of this. To visualise it, think of your L2 adventure. You all started from the lowrates and went step by step to more highrates. And from those who went to highrates, who came back to the lowrates again ? The minority, counted in fingers.

 

So why hasnt anyone made his own new custom features to give highrates joy ? Cause its difficult. And even if some of us have tried, we epicly failed. Maybe we arent good enough or "beast" enough to handle all that work, alone or as a team. Specifying the word custom, im not referring to any of the lameass shares that have been done in forums etc. And appart from the coding ability lacking ( yea if you are reading in here you arent probably a good programmer sorry to dissappoint you:( ) there are other values that a game/server admin/owner needs to lead a server to success. But anyway i limmited myself to the coding, cause good coding, is something that we havent seen so far. We've seen good leaders, good managers, but not so good programmers. Most of all, we havent seen anybody to have all those values together in one personality.

 

Which leads to two different conclusions based on you being pesimistic ( spelling ... ) or miserable :

 

The day we see a good server, is the day somebody extraordinary, somebody out of standards comes out and creates that wonder highrate much needed for the playerbase. That being an utopia can easily mean that highrates, are infact doomed :)

 

 

Open for discussion and thoughts exchange.

Shit up, he was coding since 4:00 of the night. It's not fair :(
