Combine it with new activ GM we could this server new hope and buy time for GM to solve end game issue ( D5 , balancing etc )

I completely agree I have been playing this game close to a decade now and am ashamed at the GM staff letting it become what it is today I know for a fact I can have at least 10-15 people return if the server resets like in the past where when one server died everyone gladly started over and migrated to newer ones if this server has killed this game for those who have played it for years and years as it stole the market and holds on to it while ignoring what would truly bring back a beloved community as well as profit for the server to thrive. Issuing a server reset will be the only way I would return to this game just as diablo 2 had done to make the game enjoyable to play year after year.

Hello,

While I understand your point of view, could you explain me why a wipe would bring you and your friends back? What would it change? I mean, why can't you just make a new character?
Don't take this bad or anything, I just want to known what everyone wants and what could bring more players to the server.

I am open to any suggestion that would bring back the community.

There would be no point wiping while the result would be simply returning to where we are now.

The game would need to be fixed first. Then consider a wipe.

@GMSP, I think the reason is that the 'hardcore' players all want to to be Top1 player on the server. They can't be that if there are xxx D4s all camped waiting for D5 to open. There are too many Top1's to make it interesting for this type of player. It has stopped being competitive.

But the (gaming) world has moved on. This game is really showing its age in terms of performance. The gameplay is awesome and I have never found a better game for crafting your own gear (maybe cos DR made me stop looking ), but the graphics are choppy and nowhere near as smooth as modern games. Not enough is done to prevent hacking, afk, etc.

I appreciate that the devs have tried to keep this updated to keep people playing but do it only on a 'in my spare time' basis because this game does not put food on the table for them. It is neglected and shall remain so.

The pros do not outweigh the cons anymore, for me at least, and I've moved on but, for those that want to stay, there needs to be a reason to log in.

One way to go could be to reset (xp, level and attib/skill points only, not inventory, bank or guild status) regularly every x months. Give players a limited time to race to be the best. Put a list of winners/rankings on the website, and let people read about their glorious achievements. I wonder how this might affect the sale of xp pills?

honestly the most fun this game offers is leveling we all made our chars and got them to where they are at today and there is nothing more to do then just that. the issue that is happening now is that u can start a new char but what the fun when ur gunna be grinding everything solo VD is impossible and would take months to get a decent TT. the issue is when everyone gets their chars to a certain point its in our community's nature to be online much less and only logging in for wars/ scenarios and even then once u make it to d4 and find get a full lg set its pretty much done nothing else to login for, meaning less people overall to go leveling with or even just find leveling. One last thing i always thought of too was minimizing the amount of nations focus on 2 as it would make war scenarios much more fun and each nations community much bigger this game although gets enough members to participate it also fails later on when people quit or what not.
