hahah, you look a fool.

Lets all get together and investigate this really strange usercount issue..
So Easter Monday, a bank holiday (That means a day off work for 90% of workers) has 217 more players than Tuesday a standard working day.
hmmmm, No I am stumped! must be user count hacks!!

To add, it's crazy the amount of hate this server is getting from other developers.
The jealousy is clear to see.

Anyone reading, try the server if you want to, don't if you don't want to but please ignore the opinions of these developers with sub 30 user counts at peak times. They CLEARLY aren't able to run good servers so if they leave a negative review for this one, it probably means its considerably better than their own.

The patcher put me off unfortunately, It ran so incredibly slow I turned it off and played something else, got drawn into the something else and haven't been back yet. I'll wait for the launch issues and balance to level out a little and get a cheeky boost from some friends.

Good luck.

Not sure if people want me to update the server, or hold their hand and tell them it will all be okay :couple_inlove:

Re: Rise of the Archons - Rule of the Arcane Lords

Currently sin is not worth playing hunting in big groups with various classes over several hunts i offer very little to nothing any hunt/group (compared to the strength of some classes/skills)

FIXING ATTACK SPEED is gonna have to be priority and then we can look at dispatch and other incredibly weak/worthless skills on assassin.
im literally waiting for a Gm to reply were working on it - because right now my character is so underpowered i don't value playing it.

/Ghost lvl 28 assassin

this.

Unsure why attack speed fix seems to not be important ? It makes a whole class invalid as barbarians are better at all aspects until our attack speed is fixed. Multiple posts on forums regarding it and almost no feedback ?/

lol theres no jealousy just fun to see the reactions out of certain people getting upset. Do you want a hug :cheerful:.
I'm 99% sure Scorp doesn't take anything to heart and doesn't really care what's said about the usercount.. its just a bit of light hearted banter

Sorry its been a while since there's been any decent active threads on lomcn worth posting on :(

Re: Rise of the Archons - Rule of the Arcane Lords

You just pissed off aload of casual players by removing books from the shops now and putting them into drop files..... how in anyway is this fair to the players? Play 24/7 get all the books, now you decide to remove them on the sly and now all us casuals are hitting the levels we can't gain them by buying from the shop....

Re: Rise of the Archons - Rule of the Arcane Lords

put spells up to 30 and let everyone hunt the rest..

everyone just wants a easy game, the game will get boring fast without any rare spells drop and something to look forward too.

weps
robes
books
stones
charms for slots should all have rares.
and alot of other ****.

but everything is sold in shops means there is next to nothing to hunt for other than accessories making the game way to easy for the people who cba to put the effort in, each player has to put the effort in to get the same reward... cant expect someone who plays 2 hours to get the same reward as someone who puts in 10-12 hours.

if the nerds who no life the server get some nice items/rares drop they deserve it for the time they put into the server... end of the day time plays off on Mir you should all know this by now.

there is already a cap in game to help the casuals keep up, not like the GM doesn't help the casuals.... i myself didnt buy any of the level 33 books/robe but who's cares? things that will no doubt drop before i'm that level.

Exactly, there is now a massive disadvantage on the players that couldn't geek levels and buy the skills form the shops, so that means all the people that have the skills can now keep levelling faster / and gain even more of a massive advantage and the players that weren't able to buy the skills now have to try and obtain them form a sub/boss, while the players that already have em can just keep flying up the levels...

I agree with this... to an extent
