Well personally i think pryd/excal cluster is oki.
But classic (Hoping effect will blow over like on US)
And cata classes even more

All the things you moaned about (cept maybe new classes) are the things I personally thought were great for the game. Each to his own opinion I guess.

quite like meeting the prydwenites from cluster but I don't like what it's done to albion's RvR presence - it seems that mids and hibs have many more rvring since the cluster or that it's harder to get the numbers to defend/retake/take anything. Not saying there's no albs of course, we still have the most characters according to the xml - just a lot in pve or playing hib/mid on the other side of the cluster

Warlocks/bainshees made keep sieging and general RvR so much less fun than it used to be shame really the catacombs model upgrades make the game much cooler

Classic has drawn a lot of people off the server, they'll be back, glad to see some are enjoying themselves grouping and pveing maybe they'll try some back on the cluster sometime (doubt it though they'll get the buffbot and go pl instead)

Before cluster, it seemed that Prydwenite albs just were not bothered about sieges or anything.(Rp 1337 groups etc)

Rot seems to have set into cluster now

I-rvr killed off rvr for me, anyone knows me from Rigante's alliances knows my feelings on it

pre-glastonbury, lots of people leaving for US classic servers, and then rolling chars on co-op, and mordred .... and then! DR, 1.81 patch, etc, makes it hard to come back to excal when ppl might.. actually.. want to, miss players over here, etc, blah blah
that's my biggest whine of the year
and ofc warlocks, but that's too obvious ...
Merry Christmas anyways
yes I'm drunk but it's officially Christmas Eve!!

 

[old.Whoodoo]

In order I would say:

Pryd crash (didnt affect me but I do feel sorry for those it did!)
Lag, whoevers to blame, it sucked.
Classic servers, big mistake, major white elephant like PvP was/is.
Catacombes - Dissapointing, not enough new stuff and too much emphasis on bling, 90% of people running TOA client to avoid the lag.
Another year of poor advertising, and severe lack of new blood.
3 very bad new classes, I like the idea of a buffbotless class, but they are a touch OP!

You didnt ask for pros, so Ill list mineL
Clustering; much needed after the populations dwindled badly after WoW.
New classes - ok, I saod they were bad, but also can be fun and its always good to have a change.
Bans, been a lot more cheat bans this year than ever, need a few more tho pls.
GMs, doing better all the time, more responsive, more available.

Camlann is by far the best server ever, just too bad that new players have such a hard time to get into the game there, but its a hard server, and its hard to get friends or a guild. But its a challenge.

catacombs brought alot to the game, on camlann you can almost level only from doing catacomb quests in the 3 realms, which makes it alot easier for someone to solo to lvl 50 on camlann, and dark spire dungeon for the classic server, so that players there can make templates up to par with normal rvr server ones.

classic server is a fine addition, thou I also hate to see it steal all the players from the other servers, but people are enjoying themselves again, playing in fullgroups doing exp, no more mindless pl and not so many with sticked buffbot. And if you meet someone in an area where you are doing a quest, I have recieved alot of help from strangers, and helped a few too, people ask too little

but all in all, I really only find the addition of the warlock as the biggest screwup, and the ppl loosing stuff on prydwen.

I like how you leave out preacherboypip's class ... wonder why

Classic server gives the gms a break, and this may of been one of the stronger points in releasing.

Its starting players off from level 1 again, All equal etc.

This way the GMS can work on restoring things after the prydwen crash, without as many pms/complaints when doing the job.

It also makes people forget (dont like using the term forget but cant think of anything else) about there other items, and lets people relax a little more while (if they are) enjoying the classic server.

I dont think classic will work, a few months and people will be back, However the time of release was good.

Haha :worthy:

A) He wanted the class to be kept from us.

B) He couldn't spell it.

Bad stuff 2005:

Catacombs brought the concept of a noskillclass to another even lower lvl than BD did, with warlocks, vamps need a slight touch but aint too bad, bains need CAE adjusted but otherwise fine. (this all imo ofc..)

Lots of friends leaving the game because of various reasons, among them, TOAs silly grinding and fucked up classes like warlocks and zerglings.

Good stuff 2005:

DR in US was great imo.

1.81 is a great patch.

You might say you already know this, and some might disagree. I think you're all forgetting that the game IS dying, and lets face it we can list more cons than ever.

It seems, as the game grows it gets worse, not all the time. Overall worse, though.

People might just store this as some negative, worthless post that should be ignored because it isn't true, but it is. I love this game, like alot of other people do, but the game is dying big time, and it's because of the mistakes the owners of this game.

Maybe DR, and the patches coming out will be good, but how long will it last before people start to pin-point all the negative/cons out of it, and relise that the game is dying. Many say that DR is the final effort to squeeze money out of a dying game, that is the case I think.

That's why we should just quit the whines, and make the most out of what (and still is in some aspects) a great game, probably the most epic game I've played, made friends, made enemys and it might sound say.. but, yes its been a part of my life in some way, hehe.

I feel stupid, i am. I post such a horrible post on a time of the year when I should be jumping for joy that my wife got rid of that really noisy hoover we have.

However, I really needed to make this post, not because I'm +post/rep horny, but because I'm leaving the game very very soon.

I made good friends, seen people come, and go. Seen the pricks, n' all.

Wrong place to post it maybe, but I forgot how to click the back button.

Merry christmas freddyshouse!


Zdeath,

The shitbag. :touch:
