SILENCE |
"LUPISCUS" People developed there attachment to Soma when it was the best thing they'd ever played up to that point, that isn't true at this point and can never be true again. People still play because they are emotionally invested in that moment and are willing to explore to what they had back then, new content reassures the people who still have a vague investment in this server but it does nothing to alter the perceptions of people who have already long distanced themselves from it. And with that I'm done. Good luck in life y'all.

Surely new stuff is whats needed..not just a re-roll and every1 start again with whats so familiar.. 3/4 of ppl be whining within a few days and everything back to the same old moans.
Ghost said to lev 100 would be speeded up for players.
New stuff is what's needed. No1 knows what it is yet so u cant complain about it. Mayb GM's come up with some ideas for longevity and decent new content. Just gotta wait and see.

"SILENCE""LUPISCUS" Most ppl here have played esoma and definitely emotionally attached and that is a reason why many are here.. totally agree.. But this server is 2 x qwikker and rested too....so ppl with that ''attachment'' have took advantage and capped 1 or mayb 2 characters... and with that qwikker xp comes faster crafting skill..so ppl are making the most of that too.. nothing ''emotional'' is missing here just a realistic time scale to play to the end game.. Yes, the updates could have been a bit qwikker in coming... but was never anything beyond lev 100 in esoma.. so consider ourselves priveleged that an update here is in the pipeline.. living in the past is kinda ok...but progress always provides new things and hopefully better and different things.

Would love to see the server restarted, with the changes that have been made. Perhaps a 2 month build up, time for the word to get around, slow released content with esoma rates. I feel that this would see Soma survive another 14 years....however I understand that this isn't my server, I make no decisions regarding the running of it. I absolutely appreciate the time and effort put into Blade of Heaven and am in awe of the progress that has been made from what it once was. An epic achievement considering the size of the original task.
Would you not even consider a poll to gauge the player bases opinion, perhaps open the subject for proper debate?

I know you have to be stern with your respnoses about wiping but a lot of people would like it. Wouldn't you even consider it? Speak to the people.
Or a side server for PVP, or even a slow server on the side Esoma rates just see how it goes. I can imagine it would be a lot more popular and everyone will end up going just to see people again! Xx

No we wouldn't consider it.
People forget how far we've come with this game so I find it insulting that a user can compare the content to Esoma. The patch will happen when It happens as I said in terms of my capacity, paid work comes first. I've put a lot of time and money in to the server over the past few years but with circumstance change (kids are expensive eh?) I need to refocus my time and effort. I hope some of you can understand this and give us time.

"ISYLVER"No we wouldn't consider it. a lot of ppl understand that, and the fact there's been a big bot boom and a lot of glitch abuse is why ppl are suggesting for a wipe, refreshs everything, gives everyone a new start and buys the GM the time needed for the update tho even with a wipe ppl will still find glitchs to abuse, bots that work, I wouldn't mind either way, as I feel the best part of soma is when everyone is 50~60 range

"ISYLVER" Players consider "content" to be new monsters, items, maps, spells, auras, etc. Where you have mainly added new systems/mechanics to further the boundries of the game. What the players view as "content" is why the comparisons are being made, Dan. Try not to take it to heart, it's just from a gameplay point of view.

"ISYLVER"No we wouldn't consider it. That's a shame because a wipe will bring back a lot more players than a cap raise will. People talk about esoma because it was the original, and the way they released it was actually good. It kept players interested, not knowing what was next. Here because we had everything from day one, there has been no real suspense about it. We knew from day one what the end game was. Your call though.

"ISYLVER"No we wouldn't consider it. Everybody understands, but what might seem nothing to you being added to the game can have a real big huge impact on moral in game. What can be done in a spare 2 hours of a night adding a few extra mobs or a set of weapons/armours will make a huge difference in game. I think people forget its a free game but people do also want to see things happening in game and some sort of activeness from you and Finito, We all here for one reason and its to make the server last but it needs a push to get this patch out two months ago.

"BALLER""ISYLVER"No we wouldn't consider it. That's really easy but 2 hours is already a long time. At this point Sylver doesn't even have 10 minutes spare for Soma. His family comes first after his work. When he does have spare time he always checks up on Finito and myself and does whatever he can. Also people don't forget nostalgia is a bitch. I've seen people type about esoma rates, but only a few really want that.

Alternatively, making 0-100 a lot faster and making upgrades a lot easier to obtain so people can catch up would bring people back. Could implement a new tier of weapons armour and upgrades and make the current upgrades quite common. People are running around with +8 weapons and I can't even get myself a ragged pan claw lol.
I just don't know how they do it at all

"GHOSTLORD""BALLER""ISYLVER"No we wouldn't consider it. no one wants slow rates .... how about cater for the people who want to play but dont see it feasible with the slow rates between 70-100 why not double the rate of rested gives or double the rate of all mobs ? get people interested hunting again to build up on patch?
