I just came back to the game after over a year...
I can't comment on endgame balancing as I'm only level 122. All i can say is the game seems more populated but the forums and discord are much more silent. Everyone ingame has been very friendly and helpful since my return. Exp is very fast and drops are very good I can't complain at all as a casual player.

or maybe gm's can make servers, Server 1 (low drop and slower exp and skill no PK no gvw no wotw no event)
Server 2 (medium Drop rate and exp and skill gain with PK then immunity, events, wotw and gvw) Server 3(higher drop rates and exp and skill with PK all you want wotw events and gvw) [current rates] Server 1 is suitable for someone who wants to unwind and for newbies to explore Server 2 is for low levels which can hunt for items with much better rates Server 3 for those got limited time to hunt but with high risks with this, players can choose to avoid those pkers who would like to play pkers can play with high risk and gains. With this, no wipeout and others can start over without having a trouble Its a lot of work for GM"S

i'm playing again after not having played for a year, the XP and drop rates seem noticeably increased, much better.
I would like to make a suggestion, I think the Myth of Soma deserves to supported and developed for the present day. I don't know if its possible but I encourage Fin/Dan to take a look at if the game can be developed for Web3/Blockchain. It would change the nature of the game but whats to say 2 different versions can't co-exist? Is it technically possible? too many legal barriers? I've first played Esoma when the stances were different to now, probs just after Beta and the idea of the game being incorporated into modern tech and exposed to potentially even more people is exciting. I understand many will hate the idea but the thought of In-game Weapons/Armours/upgrades being tokenized and being tradeable on an NFT market is also very interesting imo. Im seeing aesthetically older and inferior games being supported financially and developed for web3/blockchain.

I could go on a few paragraphs and explain how Weapons are too strong, Armour not defensive enough, DELAY THIS DELAY THAT.
Like fuck me, have a bit of backbone, a few cry babies who are shit at games cry on discord about this and that and you go and change the whole game to accomodate their innability to get good at the good.
There's been a few good changes a long the way, but an ocean of shit ones too. That have evidently gone into the server and out but some remain.
Wipe the Server, Start New from 1/1/2024. LEVEL 100 CAP and no more. Esoma Rates. I guarantee you 100s of ppl will flood in.
Anyway Peace. [/quote]
I'm against resetting.
The reason I'm against it is because it's a loss to someone who spends time like this
It's a loss if you take the time to play the game.
Some people were found to have played games using automatic hunting programs.
They will come back and use the program. That's why I'm against it.

"TEEREX"i'm playing again after not having played for a year, the XP and drop rates seem noticeably increased, much better. I did suggest this on discord already. See below. Got no response. Not sure if it was taken onboard. "Suggestion regarding item selling. This is something that happens on all games. Why not incorporate it into the server as an open market? A new Mir server recently done this via the use of a crypto market. Players can safely buy & sell items, and in turn the server receives a cut. It’s a win win. This also gives you a way to reopen donations without risking charge backs. See below; https://www.lomcn.org/forum/threads/oldskool-mir-v2-release-20th-january-7pm.109980/" Edit: People need to stop suggesting a server wipe, and or server split. Its not going to happen. There is plenty of growth left in the server yet. Increase of caps and new gears will cause a soft reset/rebalance in the sense old gear will be phased out as new equipment replaces it. Splitting the servers is equally ridiculous. The user count is low enough as it is, and you want to split it into what, 2 50 men servers? Wise up.

You should probably win some sort of 'award' for suggesting incorporating blockchain into the 20 year old video game that struggles to have 50 concurrent users, even including the bots.
At least I had a nice game of buzzword bingo. |

@Deux. I'm not surprised you received no response, MoS is their baby and I doubt they would want to relinquish any control and have any other Devs stepping on their toes. I'm glad someone else had the same thoughts. The biggest obstacle would be convincing technophobes to dabble in new things. I appreciate it's a lot to understand if someone hasn't had any previous exposure to Crypto etc.
@Lupi, with the amount of hours you put in you would absolutely be top of the tree, you would be the one getting paid for your drops\gear if you chose to sell. You would be at an advantage due to the hours you play. It's about time you started getting rewarded for your hard work. @3D the purpose of the suggestion is to increase usercount. If it was done well, you would have an untold amount of new players, still a market for simpler 2d games. If you think Blockchain is a buzzword then Im not sure what to say, it's been in development for 30 years and it will possibly start to be incorporated into our everyday interactions with technology online.

"3D"You should probably win some sort of 'award' for suggesting incorporating blockchain into the 20 year old video game that struggles to have 50 concurrent users, even including the bots. I'm failing to see the point you're trying to make? Please feel free to elaborate exactly as to why this is a bad idea. Mir is 20 years old. It works over there, why not here? People will continue to buy and sell items under the table, thats the nature of MMOs. Why not make it open to public trading and that way everyone benefits in terms of transparency & security. The server team would also receive a percentage cut which should help as incentive to provider further updates & support, and help with server running costs. The server is online, has been for 10+ years and as of recent Fin has been taking steps towards updating the server on a more regular basis. They're clearly intending to keep the game running, and as such I'm sure would like to increase the user count. Modernization of the game will hardly force the user count down. I'm failing to understand why either of these points are invalid. Enlighten me.

Where to even start? Who are these mythical players who wouldn't play now but would play if you could buy and sell items with crypto? I'm pretty sure they don't exist, feel free to find some though. Pretty much every game with blockchain or crypto incorporation has been a complete scam or a total disaster, often both - it's off putting for most people to the point that even ubisoft decided it was a terrible idea.
In a game with extremely limited dev time, why the fuck would anyone want that time spent so players can buy and sell items safely? It's not a positive thing. It happens but so does cheating, should we invite koreanz back with pvp bots that work this time if they pay dan/fin? There's so much could be done with soma, it's laughable to suggest incorporating blockchain should be near the top of that list and even more laughable to suggest that alone would attract players. That Mir thread....christ, did you even read it through? Even ignoring the fact that Mir has a sizeable playerbase still, the 'dev' deleted a bunch of comments where a bunch of people said they wouldn't be playing on a server where buying and selling power is fine. Then it descends into the 'dev' disappearing while his halfassed code kept bugging out, then him openly attacking players for complaining that his halfassed code ate their real money. Barely worth mentioning that small transactions often end up doubling in cost because of insane gas fees. £10 worth of valour? £20 please. It's a ridiculous idea that was utterly ignored for a reason. No point discussing further.

Pretty much every game with blockchain or crypto incorporation has been a complete scam or a total disaster, often both - it's off putting for most people to the point that even ubisoft decided it was a terrible idea. You're still failing to name any downsides to actually having it implemented. Buying and selling items happens regardless. Adding an open market adds transparency and security with the additional bonus of also funding the server. Also please feel free to point out exactly where I said this should be "near top of the list", I'll wait lol. Obviously there are many other things that would take priority, no disagreement there. However the reason I have suggested this is due to the sheer number of discord posts/forum topics I see with people crying about item selling. Regarding the Mir thread. That server has the highest usercount of any Mir server online currently. I follow Mir quite closely. Deleted comments? You cannot delete posts on LOMCN lol. He removed 1 person from Discord for being a ballache over £20.00 worth of gold that he lost himself due to the fact he sold his own char and removed the gold. What relevance does this even have in the first place? You're pulling at straws, and for what?
