Well, in advance, by that I meant that I visited lately several other RSPS just to see what they have to offer, what they lacks and vice versa.
I can give you just a few examples:
With player base with around 40 - 60 players at best on peaks, server has 5 developers, at least 3 - 6 Staff members and that's it. No need for 10+ Staff which don't contribute in developing field when it's needed the most. Sharing same player base with usually same player count, they solve issues real fast real quick. Not even slightest trouble is required to be reported - it immediately gets notified by moderator or administrator or even developer themselves and instant fix, with slight shutdown of server just to re-roll things smoothly and see how everything is working out. No need to reproduce, no need to make specific videos/animated clips, to demonstrate where and what kind of bug/glitch lies within game. Sharing estimate specifications of majority of players, Thomy should get a hang of at least seeing how hardware and software interacts on different platform with various specs on PC/Laptop. Not everyone has 1k+ Euro PC to just manage to play on client of Emps-World.
Staff Team wanted to avoid any further discussion on events so they multiplied what is so called Event Bosses - Randomly generated NPC somewhere on safe or non-safe map part placed with hitpoint levels ranging from 1000 - 10000(knowing how much damage players can deal, 10k looks like taking a nap.) Even so, you get the loot if you manage to deal 200+ damage to any of the Bosses with 5k+ hitpoints. Just a small crack to earn players some easy money and make lively Wilderness perhaps. Straight up idea, solution.
Moving on, Emps-World is the only server perhaps which I encountered that doesn't have yet informing messages which could drastically help out newcomers indeed. If I'm not mistaken, Ameer suggested it(can be wrong on this one). I supported idea and still support it, as it surely eases up likely game play of new player who isn't much familiar with the content yet. Broadcasts should apply to extremely rare drops, not constant and out wide but in the area where players camp/kill monsters to avoid spam which would be caused by initial part of this paragraph. As for G.E., let's see what invention does to economy but I'm betting my cards on point that eventually, for economy, something needs to be done more than just one new skill.
The only thing Emps-World has for sure, without doubt, is stability of server itself. Stabilizing server can be troublesome thing to do sometimes, I believe. It is huge plus for it but downsides should not overshadow what it was in prime or what it will be in future. And yes, Cahit, you're correct on point that Thomy is still solo developer, everyone who still hangs here appreciate his work here, most likely has a lot of respect for keeping this server up, including myself. I'm not huge fan of seeing problems get inside and spread like virus, I like to seek solution to keep it clean, ya know?
Also, by now, some should've realized if anyone cares as much or more than some do, they wouldn't be silent and say something to it. Dead silence is solution to nothing else but end.
