As I stated before... start here first, no need to take leaps and bounds by other changes that
may never happen in 2 years...

So, I decided to start on getting some more Hardcore players from Kirby and AB,
combined, we have around 5-7 HC players, around 2-3 permanent ones. Also decided
to leave it open for otehr HC guild members to post up and maybe check to see
if some of us are running...

So, we created a separate chat, just for HC members in our guilds... hopefully this
catches on with other guilds or maybe it will help them find those extra ppl
to fill in that spot or 2 in a climb...

This...
I'm with you here cause I've had the same problem finding climbs.
Do I want to invest more in this game and sacrifice real life?
No thank you.
But because of that, ouch not easy to get into groups.
That's in sc ofc..

I have recently given a shot at hc (yes, hc, on dial-up ) but I'm being helped by Kirby guildies who are really friendly.
No pressure, no deadline, no hurry, only fun



This.
But even without investing real money, I find it hard to maintain the vault without having anything to sell and make fg..
So I sell whatever I can find that is worth 1 fg...
Gold In/Out: 153.25 / -11.50
Average sale = 0,95 fg .....



Also my point of view.
2 people or solo in cata is a real waste of time, unless you are farming tier 1 items.
You don't even need good gear now to do well, so ofc people don't even need to invest in gear to go to MQ.
I have spent thousands of fg to get a proper weller, I don,t even play a caster anymore so it's all gathering dust.

Muting and welling were fun and I could do it and get my gear that way (barely sold anything... using my self made items).
On dial-up, forget about any skill, so muting is out of the question for me, it's n ot a question of being lazy and get prof, it's just impossible on a 31.2 kb/sec connection.
So there goes the fun I used to have in slashing.

Arena... nothing better for people who can't do a full climb cause of time restrictions, to just have a coffee and kill a few monsters in arena (or in a well).
Now with everyone wanting to do 1-71 afap, as Lee explained, it has become pathetic.
Arena was perfect for us older people with responsabilities

Before we can get a lot of new people to join, the current players need to be able to get more out of the game. Solo needs to be a viable and competitive option in this game again. Everything in LS has gotten a lot faster and easier, except solo play.



You can't get 56k though? That was the standard for dial-up even like 15 years ago, and it'd make a difference for you.

Quebec -- Nuff said

Adding like Fake players to fill catas like you see in like first person shooters the "bots" or w/e use these to slash with you to help you level quicker rather than solo since most people do not have the gear to do this on their own effectively enough to want to do it. and of course cant get a group late at night or during the week most of the time.

this would make people do more than just 1-71 and not feel like its needed to reroll if they get dropped off @ 40 which is where most new players find theirselves the mid levels and cant go any further.


just an idea i thought about last night not very well worded like all the rest of my posts.

You know the biggest problem with getting new people to play this game? It's a flash game where you simply click the screen the entire time. There's no substance. No storyline or real quests (If you want to count objectives, I guess, but Explore the maze and Mirror Maze is the only objective you have power over getting). The coolest part of the entire game is when you're walking up the steps to get to the door and drop down a key. I've had maybe 3 friends make JSP accounts and try to play LS with me, and all have said they'd rather play WoW, LoL, or something different. It's a special kind of person that can play this and stick with it.

I certainly like to think I'm special.

To not kick new people fomr your game at lvl 1..

every single game ive joined the new guy gets kicked immediately..

Didnt read all but I disagree with 2 hours climb. Even if I like it, it doesnt help new commers. Alot of people dont have time to do 1-71 in 4 hours so there would be more player in level 5-70 range. Atm if a new get to level 48, he is screwed cuz no group. People only want 1-71 when it takes only 2 hours. Didnt you see all those cry topics about no groups nowaday?

It's not the responsibility of all of us to carry newbs, it's their responsibility to get good

Nobody deserves anything, if they want it they need to work to get to a competent level
