Any news on the Future server-solution?

[Torcida]

So Chilko told us that we had to cross our fingers that they would find a solution for low-populated servers, Any news on that?

[Archonaut]

we are talking with our partners to find a good and definitive solution to low population servers. Hopefully we will have good news next week.

keep your fingers crossed!

Chilko probably already regretted saying this because most people are making a big fuss out of it but yeah I'd like to know too.

[time-to-die]

who doesnt want 2 know XD

Hopefully != Definitely.

[time-to-die]

it would also be nice to know what their plans are / were

[Nils_Dacke]

They have just now, in v1.9.3, re-introduced invisible pets. Sic! Apparently, they didn't get it the last time they made this mistake. (good old beta didn't allow invisible pets in the first place)

There are two predictions to make from this:


The WZ will be swarmed with the infamous trolltards again. Only this time it will be Trolls of War-tards rather than, the in comparison, puny Giant Troll-tards that ruined the game last time. This the second time they make exactly the same mistake, it will be uglier than ever. There are 10 more levels and 20(?) more skillpoints now.
The impact of the trolltards will be greater the sparser the server is, just like last time. Non-trolltards won't be able to move around there, to meet up with friends. A trolltard prefer a lone victim and will be lurking around the gate, around the save, on paths. The only ones who will be able to move around are other trolltards. There will be a big walk-out from Horus from players who either don't want to play hunter at all, or prefer playing it petless.


One gets the impression that 'the future solution' should be interpretated as: 'the final solution'. Either they are completely clueless or they are deliberately trying to kill Horus.

:facepalm3:

[Hopeakettu]

Instead of encouraging ppl to fight at bridges/in open field they rather encourage farming (like there wasn't enough of it yet). Seriously, NGD don't forget to add this as a music for fort battles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_mol6B9z00 :cuac:

I'd rather get ganked from time to time while grinding than get farmed and be forced to farm to get kills for a WM quest :facepalm3:

Good news: Economy in Regnum is on the rise - supporting farming is good for agriculture! It's just a start but at least something. [sarcasm]

[standistortion]

....The only ones who will be able to move around are other trolltards.
....or groups of any size that have a hunter checking tracks, can't say I like the return of the invisible troll either but I'm for anything that encourages teamwork. Think that may be to subtle though, maybe a hand of god that descends from the heavens and slaps players around a bit while a mighty voice booms 'group up you turnip headed noob' would work.... eventually.

[ieti]

Then 99.999% of Syrtis will suffer severe unjures from constant slapping. :cuac:

[Klutu]

I never had any issues with "Invisible Trolls" it was Confuse 4-5 & Hunters speed that made them a overpowered class

I almost look forward to logging in to see hunters roaming, Everyone else is to zerg orientated these days and wont go anywhere if the realm is following behind them, I miss smaller encounters

I agree about encouraging teamwork, but the invisible pets didn't encourage it last time. Instead, people left or grinded up their own hunters. My estimate was that, in the end, around 30-40% of the players were on their hunters and the proportion were increasing when they changed it. We often ran into whole clusters of them. Six trolltards is twelve targets to deal with. That's a kind of teamwork, I suppose... But why add six subclasses if the only formula that works is playing one of them? The ideal proportion of each subclass (active in combat) should be one sixth, ~17%. NGD could easily produce statistics like that as a benchmark to see if they are meeting the specs or not with the changes they make. If they had specs, that is. They still haven't published their roadmap for year 2009.

RO is like a superficial mock-up of an MMORPG, similar to the 'airport' that south pacific tribesmen created with 'radar antennas' (finely crafted hand cranked such) and 'hangars' of palm leaves, and torches on the beach as 'landing lights'... Then they stood there in awe and anticipation for airplanes to come and visit them like on that airbase on the nearby island. Alas, no airplanes came. The problem was that they hadn't really understood what an airport is nor why airplanes landed at them.

[standistortion]

Lol, wouldn't say its that bad but i see your point :) Was true about hunters with camo pets in the past but they where better damage dealers too, now barb is the killer class with marks not far behind, wouldn't imagine so many will go hunter now.

[Archonaut]

Bumpediebump.

Any info already?

Yes we have waited for quite some time now lol :P

Horus was a place where i could find a peace of all those endless nonsense events and endless notices ... I hope not. I kinda play on both but both have some pros and cons.

goat population would have a huge boost for sure :) (enough to fight off ignis night invasion on horus)

[Phlue4]

Muspell and Niflheim will be merged, too

What i would do? since i have accs in Raven Alsius and Horus Ignis xD. (P. S. yes 1 april has passed xD)

[Klutu]

I'd be pro server merge between Horus & Raven (Ravus) If the Gamemods didn't follow with the merge..

They're really just idiots and don't allow cursing and the "Events" get annoying after about a hour of playing

If they stayed in the Inner realm and helped new players out i wouldn't mind them but they can stay away from the warzone :P

Dude what the fuck are you even talking about. Don't comment on a server that you obviously barely know anything about.

GMs don't allow cursing? lolwut. I cuss all the time, as long as it is not in realm chat they don't care.

The events some people find fun, its not like you have to participate. I find them annoying so I don't participate and I don't even notice when they are happening.

Stayed in inner realm? They are rarely seen in the wz.

Horus players just make themselves look dumb, they believe every single rumor they hear about other servers.

Gtfo and stop being so ignorant.

No butt-wipers, kthxbai.

No no.. It sounds very plausible - it would not surprise me that they're so prudent, I mean, it's an American server after all.

[Seher]

Well, the German servers are being thrown together, so it’s not unlikely the same happens to Horus.

I doubt this is the right way to go though. All servers are better populated than what I was used to when Regnum still was fun. BUT! Awesome things will happen.

Who cares what it sounds like? I play there and you can ask anyone else who plays there how often someone gets yelled at for cussing in wz.

Like I said, stop being ignorant.

[Psynocide]

Like I said, stop being ignorant.

It's not something I care to be enlightened about, seeing as Horus suits me fine - nor is it within my capacity to do so, due to the fact I do not live in the US, ergo I do not have access to the server via legitimate means.

I might be a little late to the party, but let me clear things up about Raven; the GMs have changed their annoying-ness (for lack of a better word) as of late.

Events: Are mostly directed at lower level players, which is actually pretty great. They get to meet people in their level range, kill mobs together, level up together, etc.

They don't do +exp boosts anymore because the entire server has become a +xp server (100% boost on 24/7 all week, 200% on weekends), which is also pretty great. Grinding is way less tedious on Raven, especially at lower levels because of the events the GMs will host every now and then. And no, they aren't consistently happening anymore, they do one event maybe every 2-3 hours. Whenever I enter inner realm, there's always several players chatting away in Realm Chat, which is more than I can say for Horus Alsius (at least the last time I was on >.>)

GMs are great to talk to sometimes, some of them are real nice and others are kind of "herp derp", but they're always a /chat away if you have a problem, encountered a bug, or just have a simple question to ask. They don't like a lot of foul language in Realm Chat (but who does, lets be honest), and you might get reprimanded for a racial slur or curse word here and there but they won't ban you for it xD They also watch fort fights and are very attentive to any foul play that is happening. And no, they don't enforce their language policy in the wz, as TheMessenger stated.

Overall idk why people bash on Raven so much, it's way better than Horus imo (even though it's still plagued by lame timezone issues, :bangin:). The population has increased a lot recently, too.

Sorry for the post, I don't like to visit here but I've seen Raven getting a lot of hate lately.

[Immune]

...

Agreed with these two. The GM's aren't as... erm, intrusive as they used to be, but they are still around as needed. Which I believe is good.

Even the events that do (occasionally) take place in the WZ don't really effect war anymore, you won't notice them at all if you don't want to partake.

Realm balance is what I would be most interested in... not sure what to think really. I feel like it might actually turn out mostly even on all sides, unless timezones are still an issue.

[Kitsuni]

It's not something I care to be enlightened about, seeing as Horus suits me fine - nor is it within my capacity to do so, due to the fact I do not live in the US, ergo I do not have access to the server via legitimate means.
All players from any continent or country have access to Raven. Its one of the reasons why I thought it would flourish over Horus given time.

The problem is Horus Ignis has an (insane) amount of WMs due to the ongoing events of the last year. Something would need to be done about WM powers first. As far as Horus is concerned, realm balance is alot less about numbers and alot more about how many level 60s and WMs the enemy has...

And I'm not in favor of removing them entirely, as I don't want to see a return to "die hopelessly to unstoppable chains" style gameplay. Because of this I found gameplay on Raven to be extremely frustrating, due to the ease with which the most OP classes could kite and CC you forever. No amount of skill can account for the fact that some things in the game are just unbalanced and that WM powers do compensate for this to some extent due to their class-neutral nature.

I'm not denying the absurd problems they also cause, but its important to look at the grass from both sides of the fence.

I liked Raven too in the beginning. But the longer I played there the more "personal" the GMs got with everyone - in a bad way. Before I stopped playing on Raven it had gotten to the point where players could get banned just for saying something to a GM that they didn't like. For a period they lost all signs of professionalism.
(It was at this point that they also creased answering any of my support tickets, even regarding premium content.)

I really hope what you say is true and they've stopped acting like children now, because I do enjoy how helpful GMs can be.

Just a small tip to Raven players: Please think your posts more throughly, you guys bash Horus and Horus players just as much, you just don't realize it. Its easy for the pot to call the kettle black, but even harder for the pot to realize that it is also black. I think the forums already have enough drama and bitterness these days.

This forum has needed to be a better place for over a year now, please contribute. :)

If I need only one reason to disagree with Raven merge here it is. (http://www.gamesamba.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=4497)
The fact that they dare to censor this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4-tdPVWwLw) just shows that they have absolutely no sense of humour and cannot accept criticism, and I don't want to be "monitored" by these people....

More seriously though, for me the biggest issue isn't really population or server-wise but the game itself and especially balance-wise. Horus was not that populated before Warmasters but was incredibly more fun. So I don't believe a merge with Raven will magically solve all the problems since a good part of Raven's population came from Horus whatsoever...

oh this wasn't a joke?! :piz:
[Haven] - Server Merge FAQ. (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=88488)

well this is interesting. I would think it has probably a rather positive impact on the whole gameplay and maybe also on timezone issues, hopefully. Would be interesting know to if this server will have XP bonus and the GM's from Raven as well.

[Frosk]

I'll close this thing to prevent false rumours to be spread.

If you have any doubts concerning the server merge, contact me or Chris from GameSamba.
