Good old days with GamezAion

I still remember the vibe and hype i got everyday when i play aion. Just asmodians and elyos fighting non stop daily. People spamming on the trade chat buying and selling stuff. Pvping and grinding day and night. I could say 7.0 was a good move for newer contents but i really can't figure out on why it changed alot in the server. I just started playing again and i have noticed that everyone is just idling. I'm not here to discourage people up but i just want the people that runs this beautiful community to see and understand what has happened in the past few updates.

I beg you to look into the community itself and not the game. I have seen alot of og people leave for a reason that everyone knows.

 

The reasons the game's player base is declining are simple:

1. The game has been out for years since it crossed over 100 - 200+ peak players IMO. Many players have very short attention spans. So, the bulk of that 100 - 200+ was not going to hang around long.
   
2. Play with inactive players is very boring. If you see that your fellow players is not active, you start to doubt that this will be an interesting game, and most likely will leave too. It's like a domino effect. If somehow motivate people to play though would be 3-5 days or maybe a week then they probably will play again. If they stay to play then the others will not go away quickly.
   
3. Poor development of communities. A lot of people love to play in the company of friends and chat while playing. We need to make a lot of changes, something to improve this aspect.
4. The game play is, overall, repetitive. While every round is different, it can start to feel like doing the same thing over and over. This gets old quick for those who aren't winning a lot. So, they leave the game. That's easily a million players lost right there.

To sum it up, the game is loosing players mostly for the natural decline of player base and the inability of obtaining new fresh players. Most problem with Gamez is that the casual players are tired to get in the game to get owned, so the more intense trained players stay, that makes a very experienced player base, a new player install the game, tries it, after 30 games of being wrecked decides to leave and go play other games.

I think it is far from death kneel though and is unfair to say the staffs (i'm sorry) are not doing anything especially from the flaws of this game. They ship updates and make modifications all the time (kudos to them), maybe not what some of us would want, but they do try new things.

What the game need, is a new way to bring and keep players in and not make them give up before they actually learn the game. Honestly, this game still has great amount of potential..

 

I'm actually pretty excited to download again GamezAion after hearing all the news that the server is changing. I already quit a long time ago but talking to friends again makes me want to play my support chanter. I have realized that the characters have been wiped out so it's a pain to make chibi characters. ( Reading all these threads about the negativities of the current gamez environment made me think twice. Anyway, I'll know how it is once I finish downloading.

 

Join Ely side. I'll give you some gear from my chanter to get you started. I don't think i want to mini a chanter any more... I like my gladiator

 

Sweeeeeeet. I created my chanter earlier. Kinda new to the system; there's plenty of things to learn. I was elated to be back.

 

So he went ely.

 

Probably. =] Cool thing is, you can make Ely and asmo at the same time =]
