Meh, I don't really see what's so terrible about having GMs and such. Just don't pay attention to the notices, and don't participate in the events. Other than that it's the same as any other server. XP boosts running all the time doesn't make people not want to war, people being retarded makes people not want to war, and that's on every server.

On Piranha they too have special events, XP/drop/gold boosts, but unlike Raven they don't freaking over do it, they can actually be considered valuable. Horus receives a boost and a visit from a GM every Friday, what more can you ask? Players feel blessed and announcements are viewed as holy words. (Frosk be with you) As I said some time ago, Raven is not for everybody's taste. Too bad for GameSamba that this englobes a lot of potential players.

In the beginning, Raven wasn't bad. It was actually the most promising server there ever has been, as it solves most of the issues in Regnum like the steep XP curve (frequent boosts), and having lots of trouble getting started in the game (GMs being around to help). The problems start there however. The GMs... aren't what they should be. They get way too involved in their job, rather than being neutral like a leader should be. Sometimes I have even seen them get downright personal with players, and many times I have also seem them "help" players by telling them about game mechanics that didn't even exist. The biggest problem here is that the Game Counsellors (GC) knew the game, but the SGMs did not, but the SGMs didn't seem too good about listening to GCs before stating illogical nonsense. Now I may not always be right, but at least I do my homework a bit before I start talking. Half of these people don't even play the game. Secondly, Raven maintains all of the problems of Horus, including time zone problems, low war turnups and the PvP server mentality, without actually adding anything to it except for the fine points mentioned above. Gameplay in Raven borders upon better (those small, epic fights that happen occasionally) to completely bitter (trying to take a GC down for 30-40mins while only five enemy players keep walking back from their save and killing you, because you just don't have enough damage to kill the GC). Admittedly, most of these ppoblems are caused by NGD improperly balancing the game, not Raven. But on Horus you have enough players to counter the negative aspects of the game (excepting beacons, which have become a plague on Horus and RA), while often on Raven you don't. This is frustrating. For the most part, I agree with the quoted post. I just wanted to add these few points about my personal opinion. Raven is not a bad server, it was and still is very promising, but no one seems to be leading it anywhere, like Horus it is just dead in the water. Several years from now, it will still probably even have the same population. Which is a great shame considering that international players can play there, but some cannot on Horus (my original reason for joining Raven). |

I was hopeful till I read the part about deleted characters, oh well.
oh and stuff I paid for, for a bug not abused by me, and not disabled even after the exploit was well known. otherwise happy my current characters aren't deleted, however I don't freely loan nice items I used to, and I don't buy xim anymore. Feel like can't trust anyone in a game, when it shouldn't even be a concern to lose items that aren't even real anyways, that isn't the point. the point is it is hardly fair system, with batch deletions of players caused by the next bug abusers havok, So I choose neither. I try to support the game in other ways I guess, trying to find new players to join, though I don't feel secure in spending money on this game at this time. Past is past but still happened, good game, but on thin ice concerning how the staff handles cheaters here, never a good feeling to not know even if you abide by the rules, something can f*ck your day up anyways. if it changes someday then sure I'd feel comfy and spend here and there, but as one player, they won't miss my money I imagine So what I have to be happy for, a fun game and a great community, but sadly my experiences don't mirror yours nor can I be thankful for them (not) happening to me, cause they have. get in touch when you want me to be a GM
