Relic System for Lumiel

It's been talked about a lot previously, and the system in the past was abused. Which is what as I understand it the whole reason it was turned off, while there is little to no reason for it to exist on Siel. Lumiel suffers from an extremely small community even by private server standards, there have been quite a bit of GP/AP trading going on and while I cannot condone the abuse of the rules. There is a strong reason of why many players risk so much to this effect, to a much lesser effect this can be likened to a theif who steals food. Not out of greed but out of little options available, there are other means for keeping the GP/AP collection up. Most of those methods however are hinged on the "If we have enough people while IS is up" and "If I can catch the rare asmo/ely in the eye and get 3-9 GP after killing them". Sieges in Lumiel are another method of collecting some GP, all you do is stroll up to the largely undefended and deserted Fortress (Only the Katalam and Danaria Fortresses dispense GP in this manner), Kill one NPC/Guard and then scroll out. After the time goes up you get awarded your GP, while relics won't fix the GP issue it will lessen the burden of an already struggling population to commit risky rule breaking maneuvers simply so they can afford to purchase Custodian gear and maybe compete. This may also invite some individuals from Siel over to Lumiel, with a slightly easier way to access AP and therefore become more competitive with existing members of the community, the build of community will make access to IS much more frequent and Ceramium medals will be far easier to obtain in that score. It didn't work in the past, but then again in the past it wasn't really a necessary measure to have. This need not be a permanent thing either, monitor the growth after introducing the system and once a stable system has been established you can once again disable the relic system, with a larger community in place with more pvp taking place and more of the Farms and other PvP events actually being utilized there will be no need for the system to stay active. It isn't enough to say: "You can do IS, you can wait around The Eye. You can wait for sieges." These statements don't address the underlying problem, but perhaps a big fundamental change to the way Lumiel operates CAN change it. (Please keep in mind this is a suggestion for Lumiel, not Siel. And yes, I am aware that the most recent bannings weren't on newbies trying to get gear but established players. Knowing that doesn't change the core issue though.)

 

Yes, and deities should be enabled on Lumiel, so fun ;D

 

Lumiel dead stop joking

 

^, close it and stop with the "we're working on something new and exciting that will bring lots of players back" bullshit.

 

Nothing really gets done until Carl shows any activities which we know for sure that it would take a loooooong time for him to respond. Heck the only remaining stuff that would make the players get the new 4.7 items are through events and special events. In the end, players would get bored of they the same stuff over and over. The only other players that will get the benefit of tasting these new Gears are the GMs legit characters which in some of us thinks would be unfair right?
