Hello everone!
I've had a talk with couple people, and got some of their opinions, I was trying to figure out reasons and results... so this is what I've got:
1. There is no pkers left to fight with right now.
2. New items burns old ones.
3. Items hard to buy/sell.
4. With every month emps lags much more than before.Well, let's start searching problems... So, there is no pkers left these days, that's actually true, nowdays you'll rarely find someone who would like to go fight you in wild. According to the answers I've got, main problem is that there is not enough people these days. If we look back in days, there was much more people, who was fighting in wilderness. So what is the reason of why people leaving?
As you saw before, new items pushes old items in to the side, people rather buys item that has better stats, even if difference in prices are very funny.. How do we solve this problem? Simple! We need more players. If there would be more players, there would be more people wearing different items, than keeping multiple amounts of them in bank. Prices would also find their right places. What is wrong with prices right now? Let's just take for example armadyl or bandos boots, they are same hardly obtainable as a bandos chestplate, bandos tasset, armadyl hilt or any other piece of it.. But the prices, just check it.. bandos boots is 1m-3m and the bandos tasset is 25-30m, thats just ridiculous since they are both can be obtained in a same hard way...
At the moment, since there is alot people quitting, we have problem with buying/selling our stuff we got while bossing or any other way we got that. Why is it hard to sell or buy stuff these days? I was thinking about it, and came to answer. There is a lot people quitted with items we would like to buy, there is a alot people quitted who could buy items we sell. Once again, if there would be more people, there would be more listening to one or another item.
Imagine: Let's say right now there is around 70 players online, there is like 2 dragon boots in each account that is online right now, so it is 70 pair of boots that we would like to sell, and who would buy em? Once again, if there would be more people, the items we have multiple amounts in our banks, would be equalize to more accounts which will cause in better marketing in-game. This may also bring more people, who was hoping to sell their stuff but couldn't do it because of shortage of people.
With every month, emps lags more and more with each update, I'm not expert in this, this is something Thomy have to do with it, but because of lags, some of people quitted aswell.. Lost in wilderness battle 1v1, lost while bossing, lost while walking through dangerous monsters and got lagged. I've nothing to say about lags since I don't really understand how everything works at this point. But the main problem we have just saw, it is shortage of people.. I know this is something we all was talked about many times, but I think we actually need voting system. This may look very stupid option, but just listen... One of the most active administrators got quited few days ago (Ravioli). He still has his 15b+ bank that is in oldies, but where do he have to put them in? Who will buy his items, if there is not enough people to buy them.. Same situation happened with our crazy staker Iwonu5xbetr (Jake), he wants to quit, cause there is no players who would afford his items. And, yes! What for would people buy something that they already have? This is also brings us back to a problem solving by voting system, more people=more items bought, marketing would be better than it is right now. How do we used to make money? Ofcourse it is bossing, skilling, but to who will we be selling all this? To a staker that has 50+ of each of those items? Not trying to be rude against everyone of you guys, I've been playing this game over 3 years, and I still enjoy it, I've also been quitted for 13 times if not more, but I still back here. Because this is that game, we all like, but we are loosing inspiration in playing it. Why?
I think we all know the answer what would help to bring old players back, to bring new players in, and keep our game insane as it always used to be!
Let me know your opinions, share with me the thoughts, let's analyze what could we make, to bring bigger online.
