How will this server address the shortcomings of MY-EN

lipe124

I've done some searches and was amazed that there is no such topic, or I missed it so here goes.

TW times:
In the my-en ver it was almost impossible for usa to take part in TW, will the reverse be true thins round making it impossible for EU players to take part?
How about a time thats like 5pm in usa and 10-11pm in EU? this gives the working a class a chance.. hmm maybe 5:30 or 6pm cos it takes time to get home.. only on a Friday tho.

Gm availability:
In My-En Gm's are a myth, its true. If you spot a gm or take a SS of a GM in worldchat ur char will instantly by lvl150.. but alas its like chuck noriss' tears
So can we expect to see at least one GM available at all times to deal with issues like bots and smack talking on the world chat?

1000 stream city
1000 stream city doesnt have a safe zone and I've been pk'ed at the teleporter numerous times until i decided to log out and chil at the TV for a while. Will it get a safe zone?

Teleport costs
The pricing on the teleport system is horribly overpriced and the teleport routes are long and doesnt make much sense. For exmaple to get to dragon city from feather city its cheaper to tele to vanished and then to visinage and fly 30seconds(cost 1250) rather than just pay 3000 to get to ADC direct.
The area between vanished and 1000 stream city has REALLY poor tele routes that cost a fortune just to travel 5 meters.
Gah I forgot the name, the town just south from fb59 with the convicts around it... is another great example of sucky tele routes. its faster to use the stone of mystrealm to goto fb59.. walk out and run/fly there than to try using any tele path.
In conclusion, will it be possible to revise the tele paths and maybe work out pricing on distance covered rather than random amounts loosely based on the lvl your char will be to go there?

I agree with this; on PW-MY, world chat could become lewd without any GM notifying. That's disturbing ^^;

I hadn't noticied, but if that's the case, a safe zone would be needed indeed o.O

Agreed, some teleport prices are ridiculous. Especially very short routes that cost a fortune. (Eastward screen town => Thousand Stream City = 8000g o.O may as well waste 1 min to fly there).

Fangs Town (no doubt will be called something else alltogether in this version)

Thnx xauss, yea good ol BORING fangs town XD

Oh one more thing, and this is a touchy subject highlighted by private servers.
In some of the private servers security is really lax and its posible to connect to the admin CP and brute force the password or even worse the password is stored in a plaintext file among the server files. If the server isnt properly secured it can be retrieved by somone with a little skill.

So will there be proper securtiy here and backups of char data in case something goes wrong? From what I understand the char data is stored in relatively small XML files that would'nt take tons of space to backup.

TW time slots are on the weekends so people in west USA (PST - 8) would be on earlier (ie. 9-12am) people in east USA (EST - 5) would be mid-afternoon (ie. 12-3pm) and European people at around (5-8pm)

This game is making a new shortcoming that MY-EN fixed. They're re-enabling the option to make it so that you can't be PK'd.

In essence, this server is a step backward in the evolution of this game. Unfortunately.

Unsatisfied players are just louder than those that are content. Kind of similar to a baby when it wants something ...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! ...

Of course we will be adhering the strictest of security guidelines in order to ensure not only the safety of your characters, but your accounts as well.
