Road Towards Official Release

If, for example, new skills and improved drop tables would be added, the whole meta of playing the game would change (for the better imo). As of now, playing the game is very straight forward. Nothing inherently bad in that, just that it gets a bit repetitive and boring in the long run.

That's my thoughts exactly. Which is what we will be looking to do shortly after launching the new server.

Could probably retain the current stats and features in it's own contained world, and open a new world where we apply those changes.

I'm open to any (good) solution to this situation. Regardless of what we choose to do regarding this, it will be a difficult situation to make, as any decision has pros and cons.

Some people have also suggested lower XP rates, which I am in favor of, but given the amount of time this has ran now, it doesn't make a lot of sense to lower them. But long term, it wouldn't matter much.

However I'm also pretty biased since I too have spent a lot of time on the server already.

I understand that, I really do. I've spent a fair amount of time grinding the server myself. All I'm trying to do, is find the better route to take, with an unbiased mind.

I don't want to reset, that probably won't happen. The second world would be to keep the current progress, more as a state of remake's history. Then a fresh start would be easier, because the stats and banks etc would still be available.

Doesn't even necessarily need to have a second world. Maybe just cut off the highscores to pre-release and post-release. However the thought I had on this wasn't to split our small playerbase. It was to see what will happen if we do two worlds.

We haven't yet done any effort what so ever to gain players, and yet we see an increase in playerbase. So if we start putting real effort into growing, I doubt two worlds would be a problem; secondly I doubt people would stick around on the world with current progress.

Mostly why people is against this kind of solution, is because it ruins the reason to grind the current server. Which I totally get. And given the history and amount of resets in this community, I agree that it's crazy with yet another reset.

I'm all for a reset (or chucking the current server to another world or w.e) but I think we need to know asap if that's going to happen.

It is actually released. There is however a larger update, revolving around replacing the client and server, with something more stable, that will allow us to evolve this Dodian server into something better.

Don't think a reset will happen, unless the majority decides they want it (in such a way we will know it's not biased opinions).

I think what will happen, is that we continue with the current progress, on the new server. Launch the new server as a bigger update, with events. And let the official launch be in the past (when this current server opened).

so excited for this

This sounds spot on to me.

Looking forward to some community events.

If no one is on, that's a beta. You need to click the play now link in the top to play the live server.
