so short said, you want a vanilla server with x1 rates?

Interesting.
I do think its abit sad how useless the normal dungeon drops are these days, but the ammount of work Sedy would need to do is really huge, so i would not expect this to happen.

But if he says ok, then why not.

Yeah, I don't mind re-living the old Iris days where it is hard to level, forging is a hassle and epic drops are more valuable.
Here's my opinion retain the level gap of 85 but make the exp / sxp / gold drop rate to 1 or 1.5.

No thanks, its not a games, when u wasting time so much just for farming.

The only reason the original retail version of Iris was so hard and time consuming to level is because they had hardly any content for players when they reached the level cap. It's a lazy way to put out a game and milk players for their money, then close and open some other similar game and do it again. Most asian f2p mmo games are like that. Taking months to level up your character does not equal difficult or challenging, it equals boring and frustrating. There is just too much competition between games these days to use that old way of doing things.

The number one request I get from new players is to make it faster to levelup, not slower. Nobody wants to grind mobs for weeks or do mind numbing quests over and over.

I do agree that it's WAY too easy to get epic items. I would like to make it more difficult to get the best endgame stuff from dungeons but each time I try to put some difficult content in the game people just ignore it or complain about it.

But if players really want a boring level grind and want to pay real money for everything like on retail then sure, I can host a pure vanilla Iris and just leave it stagnant whilst I take all your moneys whilst you struggle for months just to levelup :P

Vanilla stats on costumes and stuff though, and all stat cards mega rare again, now thats soemthing i'd like to see,
Ive always put cosmetics over stats when i pick costumes in any game i play.

however 100% vanilla is nothing i'd like, a good example would be getting items to +10.
^
If we however kept the way we enhance items now, but remove npc that sells enhance cards, that would be nice, i guess?
But then it wouldnt be vanilla.

Rather than vanilla, i rather see a low rate without all stat items and no crazy titles.

I is not saying to you guys shut the server of you'm just asking to abriem one server with the same difficult hates the original for therein guys have 2 servers 1 hard for those who like to play hard and easy for those who like to play easy so this would increase the number of players on the server because of you people to play has many more some like to play the most difficult things and other people like to play easiest things.

I know you are not saying that.
I don't think it would be a good idea to split the playerbase into two servers when the playerbase is so small. I realise it might gain a few more players that otherwise wouldn't play, but it would not be enough to make it worthwhile. It costs a lot of money to host a game properly - you can't just throw it on some cheap box with cheap hosting - especially for a global server, and it also takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the game, the database and the server itself. My time is already 500% used up on this one, let alone adding another for a few players that think they miss retail style Iris.

The original Iris was not difficult - it was just time consuming to level and collect items and there was hardly anything to do. Why you would want that doesn't make sense to me.

Kind of agree, it would be a lot easier to balance without the crazy stats on costumes and titles and rare or even no all stats at all, but then I doubt anybody would even bother to donate and the server would die.

Arguable, if, just if, there was to be a project for another server, it doesnt have to be 100% vanilla.

You could keep the other cards, and discard the all stats, the dual stat cards could remain 1% craftable from professions
also keep the at same rate with moolah. thats something i wouldnt mind aslong as they also are obtainable ingame.

This would without a doubt make players figure a build that would work great for their class.

Because lets beat it, in the end players only goes with 2 builds (very common atleast)
And thats All stats Or All stats with evasion. i mean, what would you rather get, +28 in agi/stamina, or 18/24 all stats.
In my opinion i think the other cards are being looked down on, only because of the all stat.

At very least the all stat should only be restricted to 1 card slot, Example slot A only,

The costumes stats could remain the way they are, Thats something i dont really mind
The titles could be toned down to maybe 3/5/7/10% bonus instead of what they are now depending on its stage.
Pvp titles could be toned down to 5~7%

Due to unkown playerbase it would have, i suppose the battlefield should keep the same rate it have right now though.
why not just make a beta server to collect feedback. i'd also suggest announce about the project some weeks/a month ahead to see
how players would react to the server, building hype before it opens would likely bring more players.

If it gains good feedback, why not start it.

Edit: i do guess the price on titles should be toned down by abit due to its stat reduction.
Edit: due to rarity of enhance cards (if npc that sells them gets removed) I suppose Enhance card packs could be sold for moolah.
Aswell "protection card" (dont remember what its called)

but this and the grace take to get things, can take a nice pvp where delay to die or else that depends on other players to be able to make a dungeon and another almost no one thing will in pvps by boss battles or because do not have grace ''/ due to players with many strong items that end up leaving the monotonous server where they are strong and who can do the things I wanted one server hard it would have pvp by boses and dungeons would be much more competitive not that easy thing q is now in the scrubs '' /
