2. Restore quest xp to what it used to be. I don't see how this will help. It's still very possible to level very quickly if you want to. The biggest problem isn't gaining XP, it's getting the lowbie tags along the way. I cannot agree with this. Additionally, you'd end up at around level 48 (way above 40) with all the quests completed after immortaility. Quest xp nerf was a massive change to time it takes to get to 40 (if not 50).

You are a perefect example of someone that doesn't want things to change.
It would work, and I explained why.

The problem was addressed in my post. People don't run Oinos often, and when they do, they do it with their bots most of the time so as not to have to share loot. Or they run with their very few friends. The server has become more of a members only club in many regards, than an open place where all are welcome. While you say all are welcome it isn't inviting enough to new players.

Not for your to decide who gets what. There is no good reason for restricting who can get what, except to maintain a strangle hold, monopoly on what you have. You can't limit donations. I'll give what I want, when I want. If you fear it will cheapen the great gear you have, and reduce your prestige, well that's too bad.

People don't care how good a build you have. The server you play on is about politics, not game play.

You don't see because you don't want to see.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 7. Put a split chest in the Wrym.
Well, there you go. So do it. Ah but this would render guilds totally useless, which they are anyhow. Strike that. They are harmful, as it creates more clicks, and provides a channell all its own to plan secret runs without having to call them.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 8. Make a buff rod.
You just described a "Temporal Autocaster". This is a very rare drop from the Aboleths run, iirc. I doubt this will ever be made more easily available.
Ah, but I must, must, and must. Tsk tsk tsk. By the way, it would not be all that hard, and I have seen such buff rods elsewhere. If they can add an area like Limbo, I think they can figure this one out.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 10. Bur and ur races.
Nothing more than an elitist attitude, as well as someone afraid of change.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 11. Remove the do in order requirement from Hells.
Who cares about the story behind it. Only people like yourself who are adamant about no change have a problem with this. Even while the ship is sinking you won't toss out the fridge to lighten the load. No change! No change! We cannot have change. It must be avoided at all cost. You sound like those politicians in Detroit who won't sell a damn thing owned by the city to pay off their debt, even as they are headed to bankruptcy court because they hope the court will cut them some slack, and allow them to keep some, if not all of their goodies. Meanwhile the ship has already sunk. They just don't know it yet.
By the way I should add that by your own logic that if you must get the hell tags in the order that you should not be able to do them, except in order. That's right. You are claiming that there is a story, and that you must stick to that story, and get the tags in order. If that is the case why can you do them out of order? You see you want to have your cake, and eat it to. You want to be able to do them out of order, and get all the goodies, but you don't want to be limited in being able to do them at all. You can't really have it both ways. If you are going to claim that the Hells must be done "in order" due to the story line, than such a purist approach to things mandates that they cannot be done out of order. What is your justification for being able to do these runs out of order, but not being able to get the accomplishment for doing them when you do them?
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 12. Implement no exclusion rule.
That is your opinion, but I have fact. The fact is that it does work. How do I know?. People run with people they don't like all the time because they "must." Even now people run with those they don't like when they must. They ain't leaving. And you are crying the same boo hoo others have.
"If you do it, I will leave." Fine. Leave.
To be honest the server would be better off without anti social people that would rather leave. It is a handful of people that are the problem, and the server would be full up with all the people that have come and gone in the past year had many decided to stay. Many did not because of these same anti social people. Who cares about 5 or 6 people who can't be forced to ride a bus with people they don't like. Intolerance is bad. Many see this game as their own little fiefdom. It isn't. Just saying they would leave doesn't cut it. I already addressed why they would not. That is the logic, the why. They would not leave, and if they did, good. The problem is the admin has lost so many people they are frozen in terror of losing more. Meanwhile people silently come, and go all the time. Basically the admin values some people more than others, and that is wrong, and foolish. You are wrong for these reasons.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 13. Make immortal run easier to do.
LoL. This post makes you a troll, and I think not to be taken seriously, but I will address it. This is chest thumping, braggart type speech, and nothing more. I have never seen anyone solo this run. Has it happened? I do not doubt, but you have made the mistake of positing this rare occurrence as the norm, or something that commonly happens, without actually addressing just how often it happens. By the way it isn't being done by new players, which was the entire point of my thread, so you are posting totally off topic in this regard. If you wish to start another post titled "Uber players that have soloed the Immortal run," than so be it. However this post doesn't belong here.
lazar Avatar 9 hours ago lazar said: 13. Create xur gear:
Really? Does it? Notice you refuse to say what gear is supposedly Xur gear, which means I won't take this comment seriously, or you, until you specify what is, and is not xur gear. However, after your last comment being totally out of content in regards to the subject at hand I have a hard time taking you seriously. Regardless xur gear need to be somewhere between lvl 60, and 70 gear, Meaning better than what currently drop. I also addressed asmo gear before, and I don't consider Pelor gear to be xur. What is commonly on offer for people to wear "without" boss kill requirements is simply not good enough.
I have all the right ideas. You do not. Your counters of opinion merely continue the status quo. Nothing more. You are elitist, and out of touch with new players. You have no idea what it means to be one, and therefore with people like you making decisions everything is doomed. Amazing so many of you accept that the server is dead, yet you want new players. This is counter to something being dead. The dead don't rise.

Some ideas for improving this server is the actual thread, which is posting in the same place as this one which is not the correct post. This is the post trolled by a certain player, which I deleted to edit, and for some reason the troll reposted the unedited version. The edited version is posted in a separate thread. That is where further replies should be posted, and will be answered. You can feel free to post more here, but you won't get an answer here, which works fine for me. Bye.

From my experience over the years, only the antisocial ones have quit because of not getting into runs. Social and socially skilled players have never had problems getting in my groups. Anyways, you're making a huge mistake claiming people who oppose this rule as antisocial, in fact I'd bet my moneys that they are probably way more social and socially skilled than the people they refuse to play with. Being antisocial, overall unfun company, is what makes them not to want to play with you. But I already know you twist this back at the group - the rest of the server that doesn't include you. It is the server that is antisocial, not the guy who rage at party members, call them idiots, make them loot hostages etc. Nope, that guy is perfectly normal and has all the rights to do so, because others are antisocial.

I have some suggestions too.
The server is becoming too easy, getting gear and xp is a cake walk. New players will be turned off by the lack of challenge.
To counter power creep we need to increase enemy AB and AC by 5, increasing resists to everything but physical damage would be great too.
Delete Softcore mode.
Delete Oinos.
Only allow demi characters to wear BUR items.
Reintroduce permanent gear loss on death.
Every boss room should be a fugue zone.
To compensate for the increased difficulty:
Allow HC characters to reincarnate if they have acquired a sapphire.
Fix the auto follow wand.
Buff Arcane archers.

To counter power creep we need to increase enemy AB and AC by 5, increasing resists to everything but physical damage would be great too. This is not really true IMO. Taking Paragon toons into non-Paragon runs is 'too easy', as it should be. The fact that a Level 40 can blitz through East Road doesn't mean that East Road needs to be buffed. If players are finding LL areas/Hell too easy with big parties, they can increase the challenge by trying harder (ie: level-appropriate) runs, or by using smaller parties; in theory, smaller parties should also equal more runs. Imagine if all the Oinos dual-boxers teamed up and did harder runs that they can't solo? The Abyss has barely been touched by most players, despite being quite doable with a four-man party of ABCD (aka: two decent dual-boxers). Let's not even consider Limbo for now, since so many players who spent years begging for it seem absolutely terrified to explore it for themselves.

Yeah I totally agree, the difficulty and reward is right on. Was just being dramatic with most of that, but AA needs some love.

Basically the admin values some people more than others, and that is wrong, and foolish. You are wrong for these reasons. That would certainly cause people to quit, however that could be why you only have the same people on the server now that were there 6 months ago. Do you know what anti social means? You are labeling the people who you don't wish to tolerate as anti social, whilst you refuse to tolerate others. You are trying to flip things around and blaming everyone else. If you do the math hundreds of people have come and gone in the past year alone. If we go by the most popular saying on the server, "Maybe it is you," then we can only gather that is isn't them, but you. Social and socially skilled players have never had problems getting in my groups. No. People of similar social background have no problem getting into groups. It is tolerating others that are not similar. In my time playing I have seen what look like carbon copies of each other running around. This is the exceptional nature of your niche server. It caters to a very small section of the population. Very eccentric people, who by their very nature qualify as somewhat anti social within that environment due to their lack of intermingling with people outside of their established social group. They may be just fine out in the real world, or not. However within that scenario they most certainly are not. And you need only look at how list playing to know that there are actually no new players. Just the same old ones changing their names. What they are is self interested, and we all are. We all want to keep what we have. You all have a monopoly, and you fear losing it. I can't blame you for that, but it is a monopoly you should never have been allowed to have, and the administration is more to blame for allowing it. Oh, now you try and pat yourself on the back, and undeservedly I might add. You don't have any new players. You belong to a members only club that excludes people in practice, if not by rule. I think we can agree to disagree. I have no idea about you in real life, so I won't comment on how socially skilled you might be. I can say that in game that A, you and the people that play on HG are for the most part all very much a like, and that you have little tolerance for outsiders. That is not a very "socially accepting" or tolerant group. Well of course. Groups hold far more sway than an individual. A single person can't destroy a society, unless he is the President of course, and hold a lot of power. Otherwise the group is to blame. You have had things your own way for too long, and no one has come along to challenge your very wrong view of things, so you hold some illogical views. Like this one. That society isn't responsible for its own woes. It is. Well, first off you can't speak for the rest of the server. Second it is interesting that you make a distinction between myself, and the "rest of the server." You are a collective, and socialist in nature. You are a small collective, members only group. You are not a rational, nor tolerant group. Hence you lack real perspective. You haven't looked around and seen that there are no new faces, nor have you tried to figure out why. I am telling you why, and you don't like what I am saying, so you attack me. Some try to be clever about it, and say it is for some other reason, but that is a fail. That is right. You hit the nail on the head. As for the scenario above that is a one sided telling I think, and I personally wouldn't pay it any mind. It is an attempt to distract, and slander, nothing more. I would be more concerned about the fact that you cannot run in a party with anyone without fear of saying the wrong thing. Without fear that your words might be posted on some private guild forum, or here for all to say. I would say that is a bigger problem. Yes, the problem is the group. Groups have all the power, not 1 guy. That is why unions hold so much sway, whilst the single guy gets fired when he asked for equal pay, better treatment, or some other nonsense. I would think this obvious reasoning would not escape you. Maybe it is you, and your friends, who are very much a like who have created a toxic atmosphere to those that do not breath what you do.

To counter power creep we need to increase enemy AB and AC by 5, increasing resists to everything but physical damage would be great too. This is not really true IMO. Those people are doing oinos for a number of reasons. A, because they have no one else to run with. No surprise, as there are no new faces in the game. Just the same old people. As for other areas of the game that have not been touches in a long time, like the abyss, the answer is obvious to me. You don't have enough people playing. I talked about this before. How it is far too easy to allow people "not" to get along. I have also pointed out that people in game make the mistake of equating playing with people they don't like with riding the same bus, and having to socialize with those people. They are in error in their logic. To play the game does "not" mean you msut socialize, or even like the people you are traveling with, but you must travel with them, because buses do not accede to your whims about who you can travel with, nor should games. The entire habit of refusing to party with people you don't like is petty, vindictive, and is akin to getting revenge against them for some real, or imagined slight. That is childish, and not allowed in the real world. People "refuse" to see this because they wish to continue to do this, and have the right to "choose," which they absolutely do not. They have the right to not socialize, not to choose the passengers who will be on the bus with the. The failure to see this comes down to simple intelligence. You say this, but you run with people who are like you. Not with new players. You have not had a new player go all the way in this game in ages. You are not rebuilding your socially stuffy ranks with new people. You don't have enough people, that is why you are having problems. Now you are trying to sell it because you want to do it more. Good luck with that. You can't keep the new people who join. You are amusing. You are one of those people that does run after run after run where you do not call those runs. Now you wonder why no one is doing these runs with you?
