My personal view of Lumiel

make 15 screenshots, think up an excuse for your set and done. Can easily be done on siel, all you need is to make a character on lumiel just for the sake of validity. It does not promote people to stay in the server and actually do something.

And while you're right that people should be online instead of complaining that there is nobody online....are you seriously asking 50 people to log in every day, doing nothing until an untold number is reached and suddenly BOOM, best server eu? Get real, nobody's gonna sacrifice their time, log in and pray that 49 other fools did the same just so they can play. Doesn't work like that, you don't magically repopulate a server, without adding anything in it to lure people into coming over. The thing about "lumiel specific event prizes" was a good joke at least. A month or so ago, I entered a 2v2 ffa and what was the unbelievably good prize? 3 shitty green lvl 30 PHYS DEFENCE idians. Then 5 shitty candies for a duel the gm event. Well i'll be damned, that's worth transfering, innit?

 

they wont tranfer to lumiel coz if they ll need or want to go back to siel they ll have to pay for this thats all

 

That doesn't explain what I asked for. They could simply create a new character, obtaining equipment isn't that difficult. If they want their custodian set on Lumiel, they can farm the AP and Cera medals on Siel, create a new character there, put the items on that character and transfer it over to Lumiel.
And Grrr, I know it doesn't work like that. One part is done by the staff because we have to add features to lure people but the more important part is done by the people who allow to be lured, join and take part in populating the server.

Regarding lisveths event, I'm talking about the overall concept and not the current Stage 2.

 

What forces them to sit and AFK all day? Lack of players. Do you srsly think someone is willing to spend their whole free time they want to have fun and play the game they like to create PvP with other 3 players online? Please.
And yeah please tell me what point is my statement lacking. I'm curious.

And btw. @special Lumiel events.
Do you think that making event like that with good reward will make ppl stay there? 90% of ppl who are going to join it are from Siel. They just gonna grab rewards and go back to Siel.

 

Please tell me how that is mine or the staff's fault if the people do exactly that instead of understanding that they are the server and that, just like Grrr said, there won't be a *poof*-magic repopulation out of nothing. The //add command does not work for players.

 

The reason staff can't make decent rewards in lumiel is because of the transfer feature. Cutting prices by 25/50/75% for items would be (impossible) a really good way to get the new players to start there, except the problem with that is that you can hoard up 12k, sacrifice 3k for vip and a return ticket and still have "extra" from your shopping trip. Same for in-game acquirable things. There simply isn't anything else worth going to a near-zero population server for...

As for the concept, it is exactly what i said, i saw the first one, didn't read it but after seeing the following comments being character names i figured it doesn't require you to be online (i just read it, basically a random lottery, that one doesn't even require you to have a working client atm, could just register with a character abandoned in 2013). Yes, lis wants to help the server by making events, but lack of population and rules, set up by the higher in command, are restrictive to the possibilities. TBH I'm just kinda feeling bad for lis, putting up all that effort for almost nothing.

 

Please tell me where I said that it's yours or staff's fault.

 

I think we all need to take it down a notch guys. Everybody can be so smart and "suggest" things but in the end it's down to a million and two factors of what could cause a server to grow and repopulate. For a very long time, I doubt we will ever gain 100% player satisfaction but hey, at least we will have something to do and something to work on.

This thread is not being closed because we just want this issue to be locked away in a small Pandora chest, no, but because we aren't getting anywhere with it. If you guys feel that this is unfair, please send me a private message and we can discuss the matters further.
