Hi Everyone,
My name is Jordan, I am 26 years old, I live in the US DC area and am trying to get back into DR as hard as possible, but haven't been very lucky so far. I am an old DR player, have been playing on and off for the past 11-12 years, I've had so many chars in the past that its hard to remember all the names, but some of the most recent was Nesquik(D2 mage in newraja), before that on .my I was TheIceMan (thief D1). After Newraja was closed down it looked like DR died out for quite awhile, there were no servers (official or private) for quite awhile. Then, all of the sudden some private servers started showing up which were fun to play prior to DR Global about 5 or so years ago. The private servers were fun to play because people tended to stick together as there weren't many maps open, it was easier to lvl and to create rares, and fame wasn't needed to become a great player. What I am trying to say is I miss the old days, when you could log into any nation at any time of the day party up and go leveling in a matter of minutes due to the high amount of players in the server. So, after a long time of being away I am back but there is no one to play with, no one in town, and when I do see players and whisper them they don't even reply, not to mention the only ones I see are d2 and above. So I heard the exp was raised a bit to help the new players who are coming into the servers and that is GREAT! But where are the parties? and people to play with? It seems to me lvling has become IMPOSSIBLE. So, I thought about macroing and leveling that way, then I ran into another problem which is "I cant find MACROS for DR anywhere in this World", don't know if its even worth sitting there and making them myself because of the lack of players in this server (or get to lvl 105 and not be able to dual class cause of fame). Okay, say the GM's fix the leveling problem and it attracts new players to this great server, wonderful now I can actually enjoy the late content of the game (WAR, Dungeons, PVPing, etc etc) WRONG!, I cant do that because fame gets on the way ( I don't see the point of fame now that there is a population of maybe 50 players in there server and they are all DUAL CLASS) how am I supposed to catch up to them so that we can all be equal ? New players and Old players alike. Okay, pretend the partying system was fixed and leveling was possible, and also fame wasn't required to Dual Class I would totally play the game 24/7 then because then everyone has a chance to catch up and enjoy the game. I am not going to get too much into the rare making system because it is just OK for now I guess, however, I just had an idea where maybe every 30 levels the player had a quest which awarded a good amount of XP and a chance to win a grade 1 or 2 item for that specific level or upcoming levels(that would be a pretty sweet deal huh?). Dragon Raja community, whoever is out there, feel free to add me up Nesquik(priest on VYS) and give me a shout for leveling I am level 40-ish solo back when server first opened. Something must be done to this server to make it both entertaining and lively again, I am going to try and play but don't know how long I will last(bored out of my mind). GM's please do something to fix this server! ( I don't have 5 years of my life to spare into getting to D5 solo), I want to play and enjoy this game, It is a part of my childhood and a memory of friendship amongst fellow players.
Very Respectfully,
Jordan(Nesquik)
