On the newly publicised private a3 server.

Im not about to give out info about this server here-others have already done that.
But i think it's high time the GMs and others wake up to this reality.
There does exist a private server, with everything enabled on it thats been denied to us so far:
Version 2.05 client
-Mercenaries
-Lottery
-Automatic healing of shue/hp/mp when health decreases to a preset level
-Episode 3-with a new town called Clororence, and some maps that are accessible from there only.
-Hatrel, Nevia Canyon, direct entry to Grnita from the teleporter.
-very high wz drop rate from all creeps.

This server arguably is an illegal server. But that's not gonna stop people from playing on it-especially when everyone here is so frustrated with the way things are going.
Do you know that there is nowhere for anyone to level up decently after lvl 90 other than S1?
Do you know how crowded S1 gets, with atleast 3 parties of SB mages at any given point?
I have tried S2-S4. Currently my archer is lvl 97, so surviving those maps is difficult. There's really nothing for anyone but archers to do over there-you cannot get a decent mob, and all the creeps there have range attack.
If at all anyone goes there, it's only for boss hunt.
As many people have posted-there isn't much to do after lvl 100. We have seen all that there is to see on maps.
The one major thing that could dissuade people from migrating to that server is lag. It lags very badly compared to the India server.
When are you all going to wake up? Why the hell can't you launch hatrel, or give us a commitment to launch it?
Any question on this topic results in 'we cannot tell u right now' or 'it will be announced later'.

Theres one more thing that you could do-increase the xp for quests. Each quest in the 90s gives a max of 6% xp. Same way, killing s1 creeps at lvl 9x gives hardly 0.05% per creep-despite the fact they are much tougher than those on lower maps. At least increase the xp rate, so people can level up faster. Or increase the XP for quests so people have an incentive for quests.
Same goes for drop rate and money rate. I battled a Qihnuj from S3-it took nearly 20k HP to survive its shots and almost 5k of mp, using holy whisper with larcs-and what did i get? 1500 wz. Is that really enough?

You cant expect ppl to go to s2-s4 when there's no incentive for hunting there. Either make em drop g7-g8 more frequently, or give more wz or xp when killed.

Bottom line is-if you don't act soon, everyone will leave this place and move on to the private server. And if this one closes, others will spring up.
And if you delete the topic on forum, people can still inform each other by other means.

Hi rexdude,
What you trying to say may be right from your point but there are episodes and more in game.
After you players reading the other country forums and websites you cant ask all that in this server and they are P2P remember that and we are in BETA and its in the right way till now.
What you want in this stage in right here in this server and this game is not about one player recheing high level its about KH with good levels and community.
After the BETA is over we will come with more episodes and patches.

DUDE DIABLO!!

THE SG SERVER NEVER HAD SUCH PROBLEMS MAN, COZ THEY HAD FREQUENT EVENTS N SPECIAL QUEST SCROLLS DROP A LOT OFTEN!

IF U GO NEAR LINSEN OR KINSTONE PEOPLE ARE SEEN SELLING 7 TO 8 SCROLLS IN SEVERAL SHOPS!

WHY DON'T WE SEE SUCH A SCENE HERE?

THERE USED TO BE WEEKLY EVENTS BUT NOW .........
OVERCROWDING IS SOO MUCH THHAT PEOPLE CAN'T LEVEL PROPERLY!

YOU REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THIS, REALLY.........PLUS GET SOME1 TO MOD THIS PLACE ALL DAY!

But how long is it gonna remain beta? When do u guys plan to release hatrel? Why are u so secretive and evasive on this topic?
What are you guys doing to foster a good community or KH sentiment here?
The forums are a total wasteland-it's just me and dredpker and a handful of others who answer the queries of ppl-mostly ppl just *censored* and spam. Why aren't any of u moderating the forums or answering gameplay related queries??
Why do we have just 2 ppl, lulu and max, in game for help? Why don't they also take a break from standing around some time at least and interact with us?

You seem to have missed the point of my post-bottom line is, you have to continuously keep the game interesting. If you cannot release hatrel now, then at least have more events and contests, sometihng better than the stupid Kraigon event going on now.
A game should be about having fun, not spamming the same quest 24x7 to get a level up. Have some events at least, that we can participate in with our existing chars-not sitting and creating a fresh char just for the event.

You want your venture to make money? How about corporate sponsorships of events-call Pepsi, Nokia and other brands that young people like, and get them to sponsor prizes for the events you hold.

There has to be SOMETHING for people to keep on playing after they cross high levels.

Hey gmdiablo,
No offence but this would really cheer many ppl in the game.
Here is the new event suggestion.

"Chase the GM's in Hellmarsh streets"

So the story goes like this u Gmdiabloo, GmFirst, Gudiemax,Guidelulu,and any other Gms u have and the freaking karigon r someone, have to run in all maps without ur max opts set and in normal lvl100 set for that char. You guys r in party and we ppl of hellmarsh chase u. Defend urself from the ppl of Hellmarsh. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I couldn't find any reason why we need to chase GMs :roll: but anyway hope it could be fun.

If u guys really make out this event see how much the gamers r gonna enjoy, atleast u guys can make it interactive with ppl.

Guidemax my target :evil: ( He didnt put me in one event which I registered.)
