@Aveyron You forgot why it was good at start. Because noone knew a single thing about it. Duping was discovered very fast tho.
Not really, it was a good coz every single action u did was usefull, like opening NSS, fishing, mining for hexa, and much more, people has so much things to do with friends and enjoy.
Problem of the servers nowdays is the fact you have nothing else to do besides BD,CA,DW, even Analyzing been forgotten while it was a really good thing, never saw anyone with the REPAIR hammer on his inventory anymore, and so on, problem is that people forgot the fact we come from a server that even the uns lv35 armor and weapon was usefull, and even the new players with a high difficult method has chance to kill someone, problem of monopolizing is that everyone wants to tank each other, but when tanking becomes so strong, and u know that u have 0.000000000 chance to kill someone all the fun get lost and force people to quit, but in a server without these strong items where people dies in 1-2 slash, and people keep losing/wining; thats the fact that remains a server alive, thats why top1 was the best.
My base to say this is that i made sooooooooooooooooooooo many people quit in 10 years, yes, i been playing top since the beta, but my point is, in ToP i was able to tank most of fcers and 1 slash most of them, so i could easily rape 2 vs me, or even 5 vs me, thats an example, with a simple coordinate movement of slash one, stun other and wait until slash cd is over or meelee other, enemy gets raped, or another example with 3 people, slash one, flash bomb others, stun one and meelee the one who is not stuned, and thats all. I say this coz in Celestial/Paradise isle of top2, i could tank everyone, was relative inmortal for most of fcers (celestial) and everyone in paradise isle, where i could just use shield and sit and a million of chars could't kill me. so people has no reasons to play because regardless of the effort they do, they will NEVER able to do anything. Have u ever wonder why most of people who quit servers is the losers? while the winners remains farming/ getting strong, they never quit coz of other players, they quit coz of the management of any server, In FoxLv (Blitz) i also made quit lot of people coz they lost so much (am not coming here to flam, in case anyone of them read it and make this comment flaming attack), but the truth is: perseverance is all, when i went into paradise before being able to tank most of players i lost for over 3+ months, kept and kept losing, but i never left, when i went blitz, took me less than 1 week to be able to kill most of fcers and less than 1 month to make most of them quit.
I remember when my built a crus in top1 with spr stats added, plus pet spr lv4 or something coz i did't had a fairy with meditation and could not use stealth for long, but u know something? i still was able to 2 slash anyone, so the hope to be something good kept me interesed on game, and thats what most of people like; hope, not power full items.
