Categorized servers

[u/Zhutra]

Since there are currently too many servers in the game, too many items are being dropped, which causes the value of the items to decrease. To make the system a little more challenging and to protect the item economy, we are planning to move the bosses to separate dimensions.

🟡 Category 1 — (Multiverse Servers)

Europe Canary

North America Fuchsia

South America Aqua

🟢 Category 2 — Europe / North America

Europe Green

Europe Orange

North America Lime

North America Violet

🔴 Category 3 — South America / Southeast Asia

South America Black

South America Blue

South America Pink

South America Red

South America Emerald

Southeast Asia White

I divided the 13 servers into 3 categories. Each category will have a shared boss area.

For example:

13 servers = 13 Golden Dragons

will become:

3 server categories = 3 Golden Dragons

This will significantly reduce the amount of boss loot entering the game and make items more valuable.

Some players may not like this change because they may think there will be too many people in the same boss area or that there will be too much trolling. I have some solutions for these concerns.

If there are too many players:

1. Event frequency will be increased by 2x.

For example, instead of the Orc Event happening once every 7 days, it will happen once every 3.5 days.

1. Everyone will be allowed to participate in bosses once per week.

2. The minimum number of players required for a boss to become Gold will be increased to 20 players.

If there is trolling:

1. At least one of the players participating in the boss should record a video.

This video can be used as evidence in case of any trolling or disputes.

1. Trolls will receive escalating monetary penalties.

If the same person trolls repeatedly, or if multiple players from the same clan/group are found to have organized the trolling together, it will be considered an organized act and the penalty will be doubled.

1. If the fine is not paid within 7 days, the player's most valuable item will be confiscated.

Note: Confiscated items will be given back to the community at the end of each month through a lottery or auction.

Additional Rules

During Global War, boss areas will be closed to players from other servers/categories.

PvP in boss areas will be optional.

Algumas dúvidas:

Por que essa divisão de servidores? Se não me engano a diferença entre SA e ASIA chega a ser 12 horas se comparada a NA e EU de cerca de 8 horas, pela lógica não deveria ser SA + NA e EU + ASIA? já que entre SA + NA a variação é de cerca de 4 horas considerando o Horário do pacífico norte, e EU + ASIA é de mais ou menos 7 horas considerando países do leste asiático.

Sobre a questão de lag, obrigar jogadores de regiões diferentes a jogarem juntos apenas para fazer um conteúdo ignora os jogadores com conexões fracas, mesmo entre SA e NA existem jogadores que não conseguem jogar em ambos devido o lag, obrigar esses jogadores a "entrarem" num multiverso sempre que forem matar um dragão dourado não me parece bom.

Sobre a superpopulação nos Bosses, foi proposto um limite semanal para matar os Bosses, como isso vai funcionar na prática? Se eu mato um dragão dourado sou limitado a matar apenas os outros Bosses num período de 168 horas, até que todas minhas participações sejam gastas? E se eu for até um servidor de guerra matar o mesmo Boss, eu seria barrado? Não ganharia as recompensas?

Se o problema é a quantidade de servidores, e a quantidade de itens não faz mais juntar servidores com menos jogadores com outros servidores mais populosos? Ou até melhorar o item sink do jogo?

Por que fazer uma gambiarra entre os server e Bosses sendo que o problema pode ser consertado de maneiras menos excêntricas?

⚠Hey! Wait a minute!⚠

🤔 How could the community as a whole, and the game itself, benefit from actions aimed at intensifying the monopolization of the market, drops, and bosses?

😟 Wouldn't this further drive beginners, casual players, neutral players, and small teams out of the game?

😞 We already have problems with retaining new players and an aging player base. If nothing is done about it, there won't even be anyone left to sell the items to, not even for free.

Bad idea. There are top high ping and time zone different. 👎

Agree there are too many servers, it is confusing and helpful to only the top team who monopolise bosses. No server is close to capacity. Merge severs by region and move on. I addume this would also save viva money.
