Even less people are on then before.... I guess since the thqice was closed for so long, everyone moved on. This game is TOO BORING TO PLAY, BARELY ANYONE EVEN PLAYS IT?!?!? Theres only like a couple of people in each town like around 5-15 people.... I'm not a noob btw, I'm a lvl 60 warmage and I have a lvl 16 warrior with epic gear, but I guess there's no point in playing this game anymore since barely anyone plays it...

main problems are gateway and ip blocks on registering for the game, not to mention updates and content being postponed for no good reason (drakos, monster card insurance, emporia) barunson hates us, and warpportal's gateway is only keeping people out.

Gateway is the biggest PoS I've ever seen.
I especially hate how everytime it updates it sticks an autorun in windows startup.
But I've found a workaround for geting around gateway so I haven't used in weeks.

Agreed, the only thing I really do is log on and do BSQ. I'm staying a perma. 60 because moving into the 61-65 BSQ is suicide with all the stats stackers in the high levels. They should really add in MORE bsq rooms so at least, one side isn't always stacked, which leads to afk's and people not even trying, which furthermore kills the game. It's seriously not hard to add in a few more bsq rooms and add the 66-70 range room as well :unsure:

If they adjust the exp rates, I'm sure a bunch of people will come back. That was the main issue with thqice anyways, that and the lag. x_x

I agree too. There's way less people than there used to be.. I wonder why ?
I also agree with Gateway keeping people out. It's really annoying, and the only way to play is to do it without opening Gatway.
And yes, they must fix the EXP rates. They're too low for us. Rokko gives me 1K or less per monster...
There you have it, GM's. Fix it ?
Like, NOW ?
Or else you won't make money or anything. Just more people will quit this game. Posted Image

The exp event should start Friday 11:59PM PST. Its 5:34PM right now.

EDIT:

Starting Friday, December 31st at 11:59PM Pst through Monday January 3rd at 11:59PM Pst we will be turning on +50% EXP! So ring in the new year with a bang!

I was in F6 by myself and the exp ranges from 4k-11k (without rest exp) depending on my combo. Its weird that you dont get more exp with comboing considering youre a harle.

True, the game does have a fewer amount of people than it used to, and especially compared to other versions, but the game isn't dead, and it's not as deserted as you think. The only thing this thread really accomplishes is to give arguements to people that want to leave because "oh noez it's dying this game sux!". A lot of people I see bitching about how low the population is will straight up tell people not to play this version and say over and over again how "BAD" our version is.

If you don't like the state the server is in, then do something about it. Make a suggestion thread and get your guildmates and friends to reply to it and keep it alive. A 2 page thread in the suggestion forum won't get much attention, but if you get the thread really going and you get good arguements from people, the GMs will at least look at it and might finally consider they have a problem. Aside from that, you can also advertise the game to your friends, put up subtle advertisements in your area, and stuff like that. Just because gravity is being greedy and not spending money on advertising doesn't mean you can't advertise it yourself.

This is my opinion on why the game seems deserted
50% gateway
10% advertising
20%lag
5%exp rates
10%low population
5%other
not really an opinion but you know what i mean

another reason is due to the name. If you look up dragon saga on google or youtube, 80% of it will say "dragon ball z saga" or something like that

I laugh at people who blame gateway, you just CANT, you dont need it to start up this game. this games fate was sealed when thq still had it. it was deserted around the time cookie factory started up, its obivous that people stopped playing this due to the lack of updates(the level cap didnt change for almost a year). its also pretty sad that we dont even have drakos and other places are getting the third continent. ive even thought about calling it quits and moving to iah or gpot. you cant complain about the exp. theres plenty of ways to get good exp, and why make a game too easy so everyone and their grandma can be at max level? its like people just want levels to be handed to them (i blame bots in other mmos xD) I think the reason this game is so deserted because people play the other versions, instead of this one, they came out first and they are way more ahead than what we might ever be. please comment and criticize :unsure:

wrong off the bat, cookie factory showed up and everybody was excited, stayed around too long and people got suspicious, we're getting drakos finally "early this year," along with emporia, 3rd continent has been confirmed by barunson to be coming in the first quarter of this year. and this game is deserted because a lot of players were from other servers, they left theirs for a reason, now we have IP blocks so people cant sign up for warpportal's dragon saga, so any increase in population isnt happening, we'd have been better off with any other publisher honestly, nexon would have done a better job, they already have jdragonica iirc

i personally remember it was hard for me to find parties during the time of cookie factory, my level was 45 at the time so idk. but you have to agree that the lack of updates is causing a great decline. i think the only people who still play this game are high level characters and all the low leveled people you see in game are alts. you seem like you know what youre talking about (not sarcasm) any idea why its taking them over two months to release drakos? not to mention how long it took to raise the level cap.
