Has Lusternia pondered doing a mass email to people who no longer play and offering them a "return bonus" of some kind to come back? Maybe a "you've been gone for five years, heres what's happened since you've been gone! Come back and check us out, …

Love it, and I plan on using this excessively >.>
1. Is a person's skill level and/or experience with a skillset, or even whether they have the skill or not, going to add any weight to their vote or credence to their report?Fair enough. I look forward to seeing how this goes for you, and hope I can help in some way.What sort of time frame are you setting for yourself in "balancing combat", and when will you know your work is done?
Do you see us getting an anomaly or other admin support to rectify non-combat balance issues?
What assurance…(Quote)
Something to always keep in the back of your mind is that you're looking for ways to make us -want- to log in. Not reasons to -have- to log in.
Logging in because you have to do your daily ritual of slaughterin…(Quote) Isn't this generally what we're already supposed to be doing with the dwarf kingdoms/angkrag and the kingmaker quest, stealing commodity influx? Not technically stealing, but close enough.
Shaddus has been trade minis…(Quote) Exactly my problem. I'm not saying we don't need envoy-type work on combat, I'm just saying that it's never going to be "done" or "good enough". Meanwhile, we have other things we could be working on that need fixing, underlying probl…A random older player whose name won't be mentioned asked me to post this for him.
"I stopped playing the game, because everything that interested me mainly, disappeared or stopped being fun, from my god, my guild, and combat in gen…(Quote) I know they are. I'm simply saying that we've spent years trying to rework combat, balance around power creep (ie wonderitems and whatnot), balance around a curing change, and so many more things. It's an ongoing process that's never …So, just so we're understanding each other...we get a shiny anomaly to work on one of the things we're not complaining about as much, but nada on the stuff most of the people are complaining about?(Quote) .....
Alright, small words.
We have been working on making combat better for a very long time. We have not worked on making the economy better very much aside from some small things which didn't help. Doing…(Quote)
We've had a focus on combat reworking for many years now. Meanwhile, our version of fixing the economy was reducing gold drops and increasing comm requirements for items. Can you give an explanation as to why you feel a combat r…(Quote)
Maybe do some minor events that have absolutely nothing to do with the year end event?I'm hoping that the admin that read this, and not just Estarra, understand that we want Lusternia to keep going. We aren't saying these things to hurt Lusternia, or the people behind the scenes. As novices are Lusternia's lifesblood, the administrat…If you want proof that nobody seems to want to fix broken things or fix major typos, think about when dingbats retired. Then, go read HELP URTRAPS and wonder why it still gives prices in dingbats.
"But Shaddus, that's not really that big…(Quote) Let me see if I can sum up or tl;dr my problems with Lusternia and your post with a metaphor.
You've bought a car, and it's a nice car with all the bells and whistles. But after a while, it starts to get worn. Maybe a…Momsrock/dadsrock may be ire controlled, but you (so far as I know), have to activate them. You don't, even when other ire games do. You don't host greathunts when most of the other ones do. You just don't seem to go out of your way to do the thing…(Quote)
This. So much this.Where do I begin.
Because you as a administrator seem to have little or no understanding of the economy or items of your own game. That you built. You horrendously overvalue or undervalue things, sometimes to your detriment, and get pisse…He probably filed some report and didn't even do it in triplicate.the post was actually directed at someone who spends all their time at their Nexus, has been punished for being AFK a lot of times, and doesn't seem to do much else other than afk or snuggle with random elfen. They've spent very little time actually…(Quote) I'm only partially aware of the context behind this post, but I can assure you that it was neither directed at newbies/midbies, nor was it directed at anyone who didn't actually have a chance to learn what to do in a revolt.I'd personally love to see some lotteries. We haven't had any in six years.(Quote)
if you mean instanced type dungeons, I'm all for this.(Quote)
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. What makes this game great isn't our standards for writing; it's the people who write, fleshing out the grand tapestry that is Lusternia who make this game great. Whether they stick t…(Quote) It's incredibly easy to let people keep zaps that were "wrongfully approved". To quote from someone from Discord, "Step one is to not do anything". If it's not hurting anything, is thematically pleasing, isn't game breaking, and isn't…(Quote) If you're raising the Orrery, you need...a dozen? of each astral mob, and you have to have them within a Lusternian day or so. So, if one of the nodes is dead and you can't raise mobs from it, you can't raise the Orrery.
I'm currently boycotting zap on any and all characters due to my zap being rejected for being "too long" after having the same zap for irl years.(Quote) That's the idea, Tylwyth.Why not come up with a way to add an org's essence to a node to empower it?
