The New Approach

What is new about Black Desert? Nothing exactly there is no such thing as new content for black desert because it's content has always revolved around pvp the moment they advertised themselves as a action MMO. It's currently still the best action MMO on the market for its aesthetics and its well mechanically made combat system. The main point is everyone has come to enjoy the unique combat system which Black Desert has offered us. Of course majority of us have moved from retail due to issues of progression and the need to pay a ridiculous amount to be in equal terms as other players. The lagging progression has delayed players from BDOs true end game content which is PvP (Yes they have added events and seasonal changes but that never discarded the fact that we play to kill or at least that's for majority of the Players on Gamez. The sole reason why we left was to joined a server like Gamez so all players can be in equal standings in terms of progression. Gamez offered pearls by investing your time being online and added other features which rewarded you unlike retail. Although all was nice but there was a period where players were mislead by unmonitored or unmentioned changes to the BDO server. It proved that there were activities behind the scene without being up front and open with the player base. This was something that widened the gap between the player base and the devs. While Gamez did flourish with a large population many factors eventually killed off majority of the population. Players daily income was readjusted to a unfavorable amount compared to what it initially was and this turned off players who wanted to progress quickly to endgame. Essentially this somewhat goes back to the main point of why we left retail in the first place, the unfair standing between end game players and new ones that play currently. In a sense I can somewhat see the approach the dev took in order to delay the new players from reaching end game so they can release new patches and content. But back to the main point of why we left and why we even started playing BDO. We played BDO to reach the end game content which is PvP. The New patches that come out is not something that majority of the population would agree on for prioritizing. If the server is not meeting the standards of the consumers why would we stay for further added patches on this server.

1. Players have trouble progressing towards end game
2. End game players have no end game pvp
3. Why would we continue playing if there's no pvp? Why would the server repopulate if players come for non-existent pvp? There is a decline of pvp and that's what's killing the remaining players on Gamez. Instead of prioritizing further patches why don't we move towards improving what we have to sustain the current player base. If you give end game players a reason to stay then maybe we can have a reason to promote the server and maybe this will give newer players a reason to progress. As of right now what is left on Gamez is the remnant players who is still waiting for a reason to keep playing or a reason to stop playing.

Here are some sugguestions for improvement and these are not absurd ideals to take into consideration.

Ideas to improve the remaining population of Gamez [Optional]
1. Make siege requirement (Must have 1 T4 Node and 1 T3 Node OR Must have 2 T4 Node)

2. Maybe lock the guild MAX capacity at 40 so more guilds have to be made to have a better chance to fight each other.

3. Turn OFF all Normal and T2 Nodes

4. Decrease taxes of Normal, T2, and T3. Increase T4 taxes. (Maybe it will promote players to fight harder for higher tier nodes)

5. [OPTIONAL] Merge servers once again:
NA Ch1
NA Ch2
EU Ch1
EU Ch2
Arsha NA
Arsha EU
Siege NA
Siege EU

I know this last idea is absurd but if that's impossible or unlikely how about

Allow us to log our NA character into EU but make it so we CANNOT Buy OR Sell Items when on EU. And make it so EU can also do the same. [These are ideas that will improve the gaming community so we have more players to play with]

6. New rewards for RBF (Maybe some Caphras)
And maybe make RBF weekend event daily so it can be active at all times. (Or remove RBF weekend and use the idea Number 8)

7. Maybe small events every few days on Arsha a quest that require you to kill 30 players on Arsha and get hards and sharps rewards. (Encourages playersto actively look out to fight others in arsha.

8. Maybe make a NEW weekend for every weekend: Special Deal increase 20-30% (Makes all players want to grind and fight each other for the spots)

9. Rotate what territory is turned on and off for Saturday siege. (Implement the option to still node war while holding territory)

10. Implement mercenary system from retail (This way if we own territory and get no pvp we can go help other guilds with their territorial conquest.

11. PLEASE REMEMBER BDO HAS ALWAYS BE A PVP BASED GAME AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE MAIN CONTENT THAT WILL KEEP GAMEZ BD PLAYERS HERE. IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR PVP ALL PLAYERS WILL CONTINUE TO PAY THE MONEY AND SUPPORT THE SERVER. If you want more money from us make sure to give us something that's actually worth our investement.

Bdo is a game we all love and hate (Yet its a game that we will always have trouble leaving)

These are the only ideas I have currently please let me know what you think.
