Re-Working Normal Mode

[sharingan]

No it won't. The majority of those saying they'll quit won't because of additction & more people will come back because the game will be getting a fresh start.

This server has been reset several times and has resulted in the same outcome: loss of players. There are probably only about 5-6 players on this game who even want a reset, most of them who have been cleaned at the duel arena. Nowadays, "when people come back", they usually check out the server for a few days and then quit as seen by many servers who spend lots of $$$ advertising, gain 100s of players on release and then die out to a 10 player-base within a week. RSPS' in general are dying and it would seem stupid to take such a risk, taking into account past experiences and the low chance growth- pretty much all that will happen is a fresh economy for 10 players (because everyone else can't be bothered grinding out the game when they know that the server will be reset again). Having said all this, BattleScape has a good economy relative to the length of time the server has been up. People only really complain about "too many items being ingame" which is inevitable if the economy is 2 years old and then these same people say "i can't buy anything cuz no1 sells"- which one is it? What is so wrong with the economy that it MUST be reset?

Historically the majority of Battlescapes resets have resulted in growth of the game not loss of players. The only time he really took a hit with players on a reset/change was with the 742, but release 742 was basically EOC & not the type of game players wanted so its no surprise players quit. He released the current server very early into development when it had 0 content added. Players came here, tried the game and left because there wasnt anything to do. Even around the stage we had about 200-300 online there was very little to do outside of slayer and pking, so players quit after a few weeks because the game got boring very quickly.

The majority of remaining players are "veterans" with established accounts. It is very difficult for new players to startup on the main game mode because nobody is willing to trade items, no amount of updates is going to solve this problem. The economy has received too many drastic changes over the past 2 years and it has completely killed the main game mode.

Palidino's best oppertunity to popularise this game would be a "re-release" of the main game mode.

The majority of remaining players are "veterans" with established accounts. It is very difficult for new players to join the game because nobody is willing to trade items, therefore the main game mode ends up like a variant of iron man mode. No amount of updates is going to solve this problem. The economy has received too many drastic changes over the past 2 years and it has completely killed the main game mode.

Can we first establish what is wrong with the current economy? You mention that "nobody is willing to trade items" but this signals that there are not enough items in-game? So what would be the point of a reset? And the same thing would happen if the server reset because there would be nothing to trade?

I already established that, the majority of players have established accounts therefore have no need to trade amongst eachother.

The same thing would happen within a few months of the new server. Do we reset again?

So you're saying that in a few months from a fresh reset the game would get back to it's current state?

Well, using your logic, in a few months people will have established banks and accounts and will have no need to trade (which is the reason why you want a reset).

isn't it unironic that the only person opposed to this reset has like over 30b

Isn't it ironic that the only people who want a reset are those who barely have any wealth at all?

Wrong I am also completely opposed to a reset. My bank has 400m right now and only single max items. I am the number one voter and probably the player with the most actual game played time. I listen to people. Pali has said over and over he will not reset as it has never worked before only been a detriment. He will lose alot of players because his reputation is one for resetting and many ppl have alot of time and money invested in this release. Do thing need to be tweeked, sure, but taking items away or resetting same thing will not make things better.
