[quote="MATTY"]Hey Everyone, Been thinking about this server and game...Obvs we all love it or we wouldn't keep playing it for 15 years haha. But I notice there isnt a lot of GM interaction or any active marketing happening at the moment. I think the GM's should take on a few more volentry staff to help the game grow again, I am happy to help out with the facebook page and post my videos on there, do some more n00b guide videos etc. I think putting a new GM in place who maybe comes in game and does mini events like slither used to at peak times...no idea who the best person would be, obs you dont want it someone who can make the game corrupt. And someone to do the email marketing, i can do this but i have a lot on at the moment. But someone who can use something like aweber and can email out to the 20k email address that are lying around somewhere. So 3 people would do it... I really think this game has a lot more to give, YES there are a few issues with some things in game atm the moment but there always has been. The game will never be perfect. But lets try and turn this community into a less toxic one and a more productive one...ALSO i think donations should be highly considered by all players, maybe some rewards scheme for this, not pay to win. But maybe some custom coloured hero armour or something like that, There is enough money chaging hands for all sorts or things at the moment. So people should put there hands in the pockets to keep the game going. [/quote]

[quote="FN"]Bang on matty!! Think it's a great idea to get some more structure in marketing involved and like you I have a lot on but happy to do videos to Facebook and shares etc Think an additional advisor even if a new gm isn't possible would be good, also give any potenial new people someone to go to who's neutral to help them get started with any questions they may have.

[quote="MAIZHIYING"]as its been said before, this game isnt going to get any new players until the start of the game has a complete overhaul. the quest log was a good addition but need more direction for new players. most people wont have a clue what to do, even just a 'main' quest would work. you could choose a direction you want to go in as in a class and then get the quests to go along with it. something like 1. Login game make a character and when you enter the game you are approached by an NPC who asks you if you want to be a mage/archer/axe user etc 2. Waypoints are added to the map to point you to the right direction of monster to hunt. as you level up the way point moves and shows you how to progress. rewarding you with armours and weapons as needed along the way. without this people have no idea what to do and end up logging off Could even have multiple 'main quest lines' The first one could actually help you get spells / materials to learn them and barr to progress alone the mage route. Once you get to the right level you can have a nice quest to help you pick between black / white mage Could just have 2 main quest lines one for warrior and one for mage and let the user pick whichever weapon they want could be very time consuming for GMs but without it new players have no idea what to do. Also a onscreen quest monitor would be great for the main quest[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]Soma is hardly difficult to get the general idea of for a new player. Always people to ask.. nothing is majorly complicated. Soma doesnt need marketing .. it can sell itself. Just needs a good update.... people pass on by word of mouth to friends/ old guildies etc. What is needed .. imo... is a more rigorous GM presence and punishment of ppl taking the pee. The server's been allowed to turn into a 1 guild ' take the piss'' and nothing happens. seemingly with no consquences. Hopefully..with an update , some measures are put in place to at least curtail this, and maybe some more harsh punishments. Many players now that are left...will not come back under the present system of pee taking. Sad thing is.. these players would want to return... but some more ''policing'' is needed. Only thing needed is a more fair ''playing field'' .. measures to stop pee takers .. make things less hostile...( mayb a pve map) and give ppl half a chance to play without constant harrassment and give those players a chance to get some drops and make some equips to compete with all the +6-7-8 gears/accessories that have eluded most. ( half of dl players have joined them bcuse they were constantly pk'd or harrassed ) Old players aint gona be coming back.. no matter how good the update is..with piss taking like it is atm... and thats the biggest prob...... err.... ok..back to forum retirement ;p ( any chance of making wep craft skill go above 190.0 please Fin? thx in advance xox ) [/quote]

I thought you agreed to not post anymore pish? [quote="LUPISCUS"] What is needed .. imo... is a more rigorous GM presence and punishment of ppl taking the pee.

There should be no "perma" bans except for extreme bug abuse or things like duping our community is just to small live and let live. The game should be made to be more self policing just like Esoma was. Make moral gains Esoma rate's once passed level 70 people will soon think twice before going grey.. Fin could make it so Pk automatically turns off after a "key" boss has spawned I would only say for MBL & Shak. [/quote]

[quote="ALFASTORE3"]I promoted ganonpks soma teaser with 500,000 impressions on fb. Didnt seem to do much lol[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]u thought i 'agreed' not to post anymore? u make it sound like u forced me into it ..ill post when i feel like it. You seem to have an arrogant bullying attitude which is just proving my point. Make sure u got ur payment off to n0legs for playing all ur characters to kill bosses 24/7 ...dont worry bout me You aca ..and ur multies... and the other few dikheads in ur guild..are the reason this server has gone downhill You kno it..and ur ''mates'' kno it too. But ur very qwik to go on the defensive. I don't see the nice guys in ur guild giving u any support? Just the usual half a dozen losers. And that is fact[/quote]

[quote="MIKEYYB93"]someone has been on the daddyz[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]u dont want me to give a reply to that john... u and pete will be embarassed[/quote]

[quote="PIKUTIN"]you cant blame DL for being a decent guild - if nm weren't so useless at recruiting etc they wouldnt have fucked up so badly cy@ ROFL[/quote]

[quote="JHAELIEN"][quote="HEISENBERG"]Need to sort the basics out first. Then can look at marketing later..[/quote] Sort of agree with this, get the update sorted first and think about things like this afterwards. Saves talking to people about coming back for a patch that isn't released yet.[/quote]
