Fix leveling/party system?

I think this server got the same probleme that other server had. Low people have no one to level with. They find it boring, then leave because they solo.

I made a char 3 day ago, i soloed the entire way until now. I have never found a single party. I spam the notice guy, i am a tank, still no party. Of course i will simply solo and catch up other, but no new player are going to do that. It's actually really boring atm when you are low level, you are alone.

I did not think of a suggestion YET, but i think this is the most important probleme that server have. Fixing this will help a whole lot already to get new blood, because god know we need new blood.

Anyone have idea to fix this?

Incresing XP, and all these won't fix the probleme. The probleme is the lack of party, the lack of people to play with.

I am on pills everytime, i solo has a priest. Exp is slow. it's very boring to tank a pit to blast it, you drink pot like mad, and after 30 min you are tired of it. It need some change.

édit: Here is a sort of list i thought about:

A system for low level to be able to party high level. Every game has that, DR will need it too, with some way to calculate fair exp.
Encourage people, give them rewards for helping noobies, i don't know yet how to tweak that. Some point system? Fame?
Referal system. Most game have it too. Refer people, get reward. In WoW there is mount.
Refer someone that come and play: get double or even triple EXP when you level with this player until a certain level.
Quest, alot of quest. I understand, it take alot of time and bring alot of bug, but we really need them.
Increase Solo exp? Right now, party exp is simply alot quicker. Some solo boost might be good.

Looking for group system. I understand this is pretty complex actually. It would be a sort of system where you subcribe on. You see everyone looking for group and wich mobs they want. Then you can party them and level together. Work with all nation together.

A group system might be a good idea too. Like in WoW again too. Idea being to make party easier, also would help for looking for group system. One group leader that invite people on it.

My ideia is snow war characters. If lots of people make twinks for snow wars not only will the war become even more desirable to play, but those players will also be able to help newcomers since a lvl 60 can pt a lvl 25+..

Its not a a gr8 solution, but until a real solution thats needs major coding and updating is implemented I think this can solve the problem, or at least help it a bit.

@Proacker : I know you dont like snow war since I read that in another thread, but maybe if u give it a try, for the sake of the server, you'll grow fond to the war.. =]

What about adding quests like I said we will do?
We couldn't add those till now because of the problem with hunting quests that seems fixed now.

Quests will give a good amount of experience and can be soloed.

i think advertisement is a major key point. we need more new players so new players have sumone to party with.

a party finder would be a good thing also i like that idea.

also i know it would take a fair amount of work but i think the beginer area needs a major edit. right now it is basically shit lets be fair. "log in and there you go its up to you" i think there needs to be a beginer NPC who gives information and quests to get exp rather than smack a post for half an hour. most games have this feature and i think it will help new players to understand the game better. i know this wont help too much between the lvls of like 15-60 but the extra knowledge might make those lvls easier and less frustratng.

I play a MMORPG to play with other people, not to solo. Even if these quests will help people who can't find a party to level up, it ruins the point of a game. MMO's are fun because I don't need to always be the one killing. If I want to be the "hero" of a game, I'd go play a 1 player game.


I will repeat my suggestions of a global/nation chat to make it easier for players to find parties.
