other month there was a sort of weekend zerg in there where you could port into it from a guy near the portal in dl, but it was a special event and happened about a week later for a 2nd time, since then not sure if it stayed and is regular thing i havent been on in over a month.

OF is still there on the server. When I logged my sorc in after what must have been 4 or 5 years he was in old frontiers.

They never removed the old frontiers, just kinda, stopped people from porting there / cut bits out to make them inaccessibile.

really sucks to be honest, i think for a while they should put the OF zones back in, and switch off NF, see if they get an rise in subs being reactivated.

Yeah like giving PvP servers would bring people back, and making TOA soooo easymode you could buy it rather than doing MLs and artis....oh wait, it didnt.

You cant test something like that, its like beta testing any game, take WAR for example, every man and his dog signed up for open beta, 30 servers were filled, come launch they did well, a month later everyone fecked off again. Everyone goes FOTM then buggers off when they get bored leaving behind wasted time anf effort and empty servers, pointless.

They should re-implement the zones for events. Fix up the keeps so they actually work for claiming, so rams work etc. - but obviously don't bother with relics.

Why? Because players get bored of seeing the same thing over and over again. It could be a cheap way of giving players something different to do for a week/weekend event.

I think the hardest thing to replace is the mentality of players.

Back in the day - opted groups were quite a new concept - most people, apart from the "leet" guilds would run groups that were no way opted. I remember running in groups with my merc, a scout, 3 wizards, 1 mini, 1 sorc and an armsman - no healer! :clap: I don't recall anyone really caring what you were - the fact you were in the group it was good enough :worthy:

Nowadays - you have people worried about whether you RR is high enough, opted gear, templates, arti, cl's, ml's, assist trains, OP classes etc. I don't think people could go back to playing it the old school way - I think people are conditioned to want to play the game as "best" as they can with their character. In the OF - those concepts were relatively new :cheers:
