    I gave this some taught too, most of our new players come from retail servers so why would they leave a low exp server to join a low exp server with less features (no 1.9 support as yet) and more bugs?
    I think it wouldn't do so well

    Take IA as an example, their retail-like server has an INSANE amount of players.
    We from retail, are on the private servers for different reasons, and if you haven't played retail, obviously you don't know the reasons.
    NCSoft are a bunch of dickheads, excuse my language, this is why they keep losing tons of players every month rapidly.
    Their customer support SUCKS, and they keep banning people without any proof and without any real good reason, this is exactly why people quit retai.
    I know atleast 2000 people who've quit EU Aion beacuse of NCSoft, not beacuse of the rates & the game.

    Carl: Give it time! :D As Sheytane said, IA has PLENTY of customers. From this, you can conclude that eventually, given time, Gamez>Infinite (in customers)

    And also (I'm sure it was previously stated), retail COSTS MONEY. You don't! In my opinion, that's worth the bugs/glitches (btw it does support 1.9, but with more bugs :p).

    However (again in my humble opinion), I think that if you do create a 2nd, retail server, that you should INCREASE the rates of the current one. Mainly for the purpose of it being possibly more PvP-oriented.

    I agree, one server is hard enough to maintain, keep bug free and moderate, let alone another.

    But you see, if carl is always working on updating the server to the next patch, then he'll never be able to expand or add new content of his own. There will always be bugs. ALWAYS. So why not make there multiple servers? Think about it.

    did u just read what u wrote???:unsure:

    this is one of those good times when u should think about what ur gonna say before u say it.

    carl does not want extra work on top of the work he has at hand. he has too much to deal with, and he wants LESS of that, not double that.

    HAHAHAHAHA my bad I added an extra "there"! xP

    And I meant every word (besides that one).

    I also don't think you quite got what I was saying. I meant that with the same amount of work, he could get a second server up with maybe a FEW more bugs.

    Oh, and it's also very rude to quote someone and highlight as much as you did. I do not appreciate that.

    - I certainly agree to having another server which is, not exactly similar to retail but, somewhat slower compared to the one that we're on because the xp mod is just too high IMO. It wouldn't really make you explore the game as much. Whoever has thought of crafting and hunting for recipes right? I'm new to this game and in two days my character is already at 50 and I have anuhart items already. This game is really vast and it would've been a little bit more challenging if I were to hunt items aside from anuharts and elders and etc.. I also agree that this will require more money, more staff members and more time to maintain but wouldn't it be more challenging if you were to spend hours in hunting and etc.. Because right now, I think the ultimate goal in this game is to get anuhart items, noah's stuff and tahabata's weapons.

    - One reason (one BIG reason) why other people can't play this game in retail is because it's just simply is not available in their country. So why not go to other private servers you ask? It's because Gamezaion is the Top 1 Aion publisher. It would be reaaaalllyyy boring to play this huge game with what, 20 people?

    - In the long run, I think, this will help bring in the money because some people would opt to donating to get items quicker, especially the people who wants to get the items asap. If you reach level 50 you can raid all the bosses in DP along with 2 to 3 of your friends to complete your dream set. I wouldn't bother donating anymore because like I said, my character's only 2 days old and now I'm hunting for anuhart items already and I wouldn't bother donating for something that I can farm after two days of playing. Oh and one more thing, I think there's not much of a difference between anuhart items and archon items that you get by donating/voting. I've played other online games on other private servers and I'm one that you would call a donator. Donators always wants to be ahead in the league and donators would always want something that's glows a little bit shinier and hurts a little bit more ouch-ier. A person would only be willing to spend if he thinks the VALUE is worth it (against time and effort and all).
