WoE Revitalization Poll

[GM-Azote]

I'm against the time based one too (as well as the other) for a second reason:

Woe is about War. It's not about 'oh I tried so i get something.

If you win you get the castle along with the rewards of the castle, if you lose you know you need to get better, and hopefully you will do better next time.

So you are saying that a castle left with zero economy has something attractive for a whole WoE rather than the last 5 minutes? I'm not quite sure of this.

2 words: Guild Dungeon

How is guild dungeons accesses going to bring more action in an empty castle more than the last 5 minutes if there is no economy to back it?

Hum question 1, is it okay to reveal a player as an Ex-GM?

Don't be mistaken. I didn't point out she was a GM or not. We have "test and dev" players who help enhancing the server but are not GMs.

Question 3, am I allowed to make suggestions to other possible things for WoE or guilds in general that are not mentioned in this topic?

Yes you are.

Question 4, what are the GM's intentions to attract people to heRO when renewal hits???What will our server have over other ones???Yes, I realize I put another question in this but these things do matter for the future of the server like Nami mentioned.??I do not mind if you guys choose to advertise you're plans to stay more retro, but it would be nice to know that's the plan for the future I guess. :o

Speaking for the GM team : we have not decided anything about this yet

We are not on the edge of renewal mechanics and possibly very far from it. Until eAthena makes it avaible, it won't even be a question. We are not coding renewal by ourselves.

If you read the post... I didn't talk about the tech of getting renewal, but we're on the edge of renewal content in terms of updates. Any future 'default update' will result in say, renewal equips or monsters made for renewal mechanics. That's why, I am sure the server wants to know, are we waiting or not, and if we are waiting, does that mean no update except for seasonal equip and the once in awhile customized quest?

We didn't wait a SVN to implement Nidhoggur. It got customised and balanced to fit heRO. We can quite expect the same pattern until the renewal is a question. We don't plan on "not-adding" stuff because it's renewal's. Everything can fit heRO when properly balanced.

If a member of the GM team is defending certain decisions already, is it safe to assume that GMs already want things to go a certain way but is only asking for approval? If that is the case, can we hear just how exactly do the GMs want things to go? Sounds more like GMs are asking for permission to do something that we aren't entirely sure what it is about, and not so much on a brainstorming activity with the community.

We have decided that statu-quo (doing nothing) is not enough. We came-up with a lot of options to debate about within the GM team, and picked out 5 of them which we found to be the most interesting into changing things.
