Hi guys!
Yes, I guess it's time to say a warm farewell to this community, and this comes from our guild members, all of them
It's been a pleasure to play with you guys, we met a lot of nice people. Sure there have been a few issues with a couple of players or so, but I feel I can say this is by far the best gaming community I've ever been with.
Our last GP was obtained on 12/16/2009, I think it's been long enough to say we're done for the moment.
Sure we might come back, we all wait for new versions of the game and future improvements.
I'd like to leave a few reasons why we quit.
This is not meant to be a cry topic or such a thing, so if you wanna write down some gtfo-post, please do that somewhere else
I hope our ideas will help the community grow, we've put into these ideas as much honesty as we could, no rant at all.

The economy
After the old transmuting way has been removed, most of us lost their reliable source of income.
New skills have been introduced to compensate, but in our opinion this added too much difficulty.
I personally spent tons of hours glyphing, and I could get to level 9 or so. I can now earn like 200 fg/month with glyphing, but this is not worth in my opinion.
Too much time spent there and too little income. Spending the same time playing solo will surely bring me more fg.
Same for fishing. I know it's meant to be like that, but this cuts away from the game all those players who got little time to play.

graphics
Most of us didn't like the last update. 4 or 5 of us quitted because of it.
It's pretty messy and not handy, you end up with too many open windows. Switching among them takes time and it's pretty frustrating.
What we would like to see is some more organized and clean graphics, yet more "thrilling".
We'd like to see some kind of giant mobs for quests, or 7 shamans that look all the same.
We'd also like to see more "information" during our fights, like popping out fancy text with "critical!!" "blocked!!" or so.
This would add a lot of depth to the gameplay in our opinions.

drop loot
Another reason to quit for a lot of us.
Personally, that made me quit. We are players from Europe and it's extremely hard for us to compete with aggressive grabbers from USA.
Most of the times, especially after shamans or evils, I can't even see the dopped item. This is really frustrating.
I think the game definitely needs a drop loot, based on the activity of players in cata. Also, the drop box should contain the items for like 3-4 waves, in a FIFO manner, so we could check the items carefully while playing. This would make the game faster and more balanced.


OK I guess this is all.
Once again, no need to rant. These are our reasons, feel free to comment on them but pay some respect
I hope we'll be back one day, we really had great times together, among us and with all of you.
Best of wishes from the minions!

Ita mode: ON

Secondo me è una cavolata immensa lasciare per questi motivi, ci sono tanti altri modi per farsi su FG, tipo il trading che è stato migliorato non avendo più 1000k items nel MP ma pochi in modo da aumentare un po i prezzi degli oggetti.
Aggiungerei che questo gioco non è fatto solo per il profitto ma anche per stare insieme a persone e per lo stimolo di aprire quelle dannate porte.

Per quanto riguarda gli updates, c'è sempre una evoluzione continua che porta il gioco a perfezionarsi, bisogna solo essere pazienti perchè non c'è un team di 30 persone a lavorarci, ma solo Paul che purtroppo non riesce a fare troppe robe tutte insieme

Penso che non dobbiate mollare, anzi... sperimentare sempre di + in modo da poter battere il gioco e non da essere battuti da esso

In ogni caso... vi auguro di trovare qualcosa di stimolante per andare avanti qui su d2jsp e anche di tornare al più presto su LS!


Grazie pure a voi per tutto quello che avete fatto per la comunity
