They are right though. Relaunching after leaving at least a somewhat good impression to players is a positive thing. Of course there should be a time period between the close and relaunch, but if most players are left with the expression that the server is worth playing, they will return and bring new players with them.Originally Posted by Interceptor
Honestly gotta agree with the people calling for a relaunch.
Server has the best files out there but most people aren't willing to play dead servers including me
From what I read there was a patch very recently. Maybe it would be smart to wait until everything is fixed before a relaunch is even considered?
I agree but its never too early to advertise
well, aesteris gonna have to decide soon. there's no good serv atm worth playing beside this one. He should really think about it.
Possibly due to the population being rather scarce it might be smart to just have the level jump event to 76 and increase the amount of farming rather than exp. I still think quests are a smart way to do it, but the reason why the first launch had some rough times was the EXP combined with small population in the beginning. Without incredible online numbers there's no reason to waste time leveling up.
It's ideal to have semi-hard EXP and farming, but it will be harmful if there aren't enough players to begin with. Hard EXP and farming increase sustainability because players feel more attached to their characters, but there's always the risk of people giving up out of frustration before putting any work towards their characters.
I just downloaded this server like 30 mins ago (I'm still in the game) and it seems like a really good server,its just shame that you can count the population of it on one hand.Talked with a GM a bit,he said that the launching of other servers killed the pop,tho I don't understand why would someone leave this server (where most of the stuff works,if not everything,I can't tell because I stopped playing KO after ROFD) , for a server where half of the shit ain't working properly (wont call any names). Even tho I really dislike this new KO design,from UI to item design,I would play this server if only it had a bit more people online.
That's my two cents.
People left because of the lack of PK (I can easily start naming names and even get those people to come verify this if necessary lol). You couldn't get any new players into the game because even if someone new did join, if they joined solo they wouldn't have anyone to EXP with considering most new players (or old players that made new characters) would simply spend $$$ (or fish / mine for a few days to get 4gb) and buy EXP jars to get them to 83, making the EXP process completely irrelevant.
The launching of other servers simply propagated the killing of this one unfortunately; why bother logging into this server for the same people to pk against one hour a day before they leave when I can go play OSKO where there is literally CZ kill spam moving 24/7, when turks don't leave and there is actual stuff to do in CZ. Most of the stuff in this server does work flawlessly, but having a program completely bug ridden is pretty difficult so it's expected there will be a few issues. However, if you were to do Kallops approach, it wouldn't be too terrible. Make EXP easier, and perhaps try to see how that relaunch would go, putting an emphasis on farming stuff like Krowaz, Secret, Rosetta, Mythril, etc, instead of making the cap shell (which was a silly idea to begin with).
Hopefully twoey and aesteris will actually read this though and at least think about it or even reply
Well after playing a bit more I'm starting to grown on this new version of KO lol...opening map and seeing where actual quests are is really nice.Also comparing stats of armors and weapons is something I always wanted to see in KO.
@sky: I must agree with you,I think re-launch would do this server good. And you know server is good when my broke ass is considering donating couple of bucks :P
don't hope for too much
they've been pretty much ignoring the community here. They may be reading but they wont say anything it seems.
As we've said before, this is really all it comes down to.
Would you mind at least sharing what left there is to fix or tweak? And how much of it comes down to the players opinions (such as passion warrior damage, EXP jars, etc?)
Not necessary to be perfectly honest. In reality the files are perfectly fine to begin with. The bugs and fixes left are so minor that they do not affect the players game play experience. That being said, I perfectly understand the way twoey and Aesteris are working. These files are one of a kind and there's little benefit for them to rush things. When there's a time for a relaunch, if ever, I'm sure there is going to be an announcement for it.
I'm not expecting it to happen anytime soon though. Twoey is known to be a little perfectionist so my guess is that it'll take a while before he's satisfied. Unless Aesteris convinces him to do it at some point :P
Certainly not absolutely necessary, but how many of these bugs and "fixes" are actually necessary and not twostars just trying to make it absolutely 100% perfect? Then again, it would probably just be faster for them to fix the bugs instead of making a list for us to see, but communicating with the community has been an issue with this server in the past.
Dear players,
We have listened to all of your suggestions and we have finally finished discussions on our next steps.
Our conclusions after carefully considering all options available to us have been drawn, and without further ado - we're pleased to announce our new server!
It'll be the perfect server for everyone to enjoy during their Christmas break and beyond.
Advertisement will start very soon, so be sure to check in here often for updates!
This server will feature, among others, the following; EXP jars will be removed entirely, mining and fishing have been reworked, more GMs will be added (shortly!), and mistakes made in the past have been learnt from. We'll be doing our very best to get you guys the server you deserve!
From the entire team at Apex KO we wish everyone good luck with their studies and thank you for your interest and your support!
Stay tuned for the next update!
