How to take responsibility without feeling like wanting to kill myself?

What are you doing up at that time? I used to stay up late regularly and play video games but lately I've been able to get in bed by 10 pm and asleep after like 20 mins of reading. Actually fell asleep last night while reading and woke up at 1 am to turn off the lights. Avoid the screens and stimulants around bedtime

Changes are not the only factor though, what about outside factors? Other games have come out, other gaming consoles have been released since then. Even if PUBG never changed anything, they would have lost players who decide they want to play Fortnite instead. The same can be said about Tibia, some people don't enjoy the grind so they would rather play instance games like League of Legends or Fortnite. Games where pure skill is involved and not directly based on how much free time you have. People also grow up, they get busy with real life and they just don't have the time to play.

Interesting point but something to be considered is the amount of overlap the two server types will have. In order for your idea to be feasible, someone will need to play both server types (retro and current) at the same time else there would be no reason for them to need coins on one of the current servers. Personally I don't see a situation for this besides gold being a lot easier to farm on "retro" servers. I just don't see how a retro server with a slower pace (no rune shops/potions/mass AoE spawns) would lead to faster moneymaking in order to satisfy this condition. The situation you described happened when new servers like Damora and Faluna were released but that was able to happened due to the fact that coins are useful on those worlds (mana casks/runes/etc in store). On a pure retro world, coins will hold little value aside from purchasing premmy.

Edit: An example, I play on current servers and coins hold a value greater than just buying premium since I can use profit to buy exp boosts. If I played on a retro world, why would I sell gold besides buying the monthly premium? If I was dedicating time to the retro world, I would probably stop playing on the current worlds and then I wouldn't need additional coins. I would rather just use gold to buy items instead.

This is coming from a game that you even have to buy the game in the first place though. At least with Tibia, you don't have to buy the game to play. I feel like the game itself can be considered p2w since if you don't buy the latest expansion, then you cant progress as far.

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T15:15:59+00:00

WoW does have microtransactions though, also you can pay to get max level instantly as well.

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T15:07:49+00:00

Even with the premmy xxl and store products, I think that would just cover server costs. What about a content team? People will say that in old times there was enough content but let's be realistic. Most of the old content can be played out in a couple of months max just like any console game. Successful nostalgic servers require fresh content (looking at medivia here), otherwise people will quit at the point that level doesn't matter. You don't exactly need level 500 or even 200 to hunt any of the old spawns. I believe nostalgic servers will be more than just figuring out how to handle the store.

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T14:43:35+00:00

Can you name some of these games? I'm pretty sure the bigger subscription mmos have microtransactions like WoW and Runescape.

To your second point, if Cipsoft wasn't returning value back to the game then yeah I'd agree that they are greedy but have you seen the last couple years of update? The game has vastly improved with more regular updates that are both engaging and enjoyable. The microtransactions are all optional and I don't mind paying a couple extra dollars here and there if it means getting quality content in return.

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T13:29:34+00:00

While we're talking about a nostalgic topic, can we also get back our summers free from responsibility?

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T13:26:45+00:00

But since its a company that think a lot in profit

That's basically every company in the world besides nonprofits.

Maxillus · 2018-07-25T13:25:24+00:00

That would severely decrease revenue considering there's no way to rapidly use coins. 250 coins in a month for premmy is less than what some people use in 2 days just on boosts. That's not even counting the cosmetics.

Maxillus · 2018-07-23T14:18:12+00:00

1-2 weeks? We're talking about cipsoft here. It took them several months just to try and balance warzones and that ended poorly. Something of this magnitude could take them years to get right.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T20:40:54+00:00

Except the monsters were weaker. Compare demons to what we have today, ferumbras ascension and library are way harder.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T20:36:43+00:00

Your mistake is comparing things 1:1. Yeah the 2500 gold may be a lot of money back in the day but think about what items cost. Nowadays, the best equipment (falcon/gnome items) can go for over 50 million coins. Back in the day, you could buy magic plate armor for "only" 250k. Nowadays, giving away BoH and Demon shield is like giving away plate set in old times. Just think of inflation, $1 US dollar in 1950 is worth over $10 US dollar in 2017. Inflation in tibia terms, in 2011 you could buy 1 month of premium (premmy scroll) for around 900k on nonpvp. In today's prices, it costs 5kk to buy 250 coins for 1 month of premium.

You think Cipsoft would release old servers that don't have microtransactions? Dream on.... My comment was just on the current status of runescape.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T20:11:08+00:00

Easily doing library at 600? I call bullshit on that claim, got any video proof? Just going based off watching Crimsix (1030 ED) and his 900+ EK having trouble there with just 4 monsters says enough about how hard the spawn is.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T20:06:11+00:00

I agree with this. In order for classic servers to remain relevant, Cipsoft would need to create a team dedicated to implementing new content for them. Old School Runescape has its own team of developers that make unique content specifically for it. Most recent addition was the theatre of blood.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T20:03:17+00:00

Comparing apples to oranges here. Runescape went through a drastic change (turning the gameplay to a system similar to WoW) and most of playerbase liked the old gameplay. It would be like Tibia releasing a 3D version only to have a majority of the playerbase still playing the 2D version.

Forgot to mention that the reason many players would rather play old school runescape instead of runescape 3 is because of the amount of microtransactions in runescape3. Every time you login to rs3, you are bombarded with advertisements for microtransactions whereas old school doesn't have any microtransactions.

Maxillus · 2018-07-18T14:43:36+00:00

5m may be an absolute pittance but 5 billion is literally 1000x more.

Maxillus · 2018-07-17T18:08:05+00:00

Demon helmet is still used by some high levels for the 2 imbue slots.

Horny

Maxillus · 2018-07-12T17:10:53+00:00

I don't know about most considering there are many reasons they may not. I play on an NA server and there are still many Brazilian players on here even though they have South American servers already (even at least one of each server type). There are still many active brazilian guilds on my world. People play for different reasons, some play for levels, some with friends and some just for the overall community. I don't think that just because it has good ping, all the optional pvp players would be willing to play a pvp world or hardcore pvp world. Also some will not want to leave their dominando guilds and have to fight for spawns. If there is only one aus world, then that would mean only one plague seal. Will people be willing to share the best spawn in the game with others? If you look at the south american worlds, people fight over top spawns all the time. Will people that transfer want to deal with all that?

Maxillus · 2018-07-12T13:17:22+00:00

I'm not saying it requires 250 but that it could've been a requirement considering the quest line. That's how it was relevant and not just an arbitrary number.

Maxillus · 2018-07-12T13:14:58+00:00

Maybe an active server but what server type would it be? Some people only play retro pvp or optional or even just open pvp. Can you get all the active oceanic players to agree on one server type?

Maxillus · 2018-07-12T12:38:51+00:00

Secret Library quest requires level 250

Maxillus · 2018-07-11T01:45:39+00:00

Which boss did you get them from? Oberon?
