Hey Lucifer, I remember well when Koreans first came to server, they were friendly and there was no hostility towards the US server community, but in that time Dokdo where primarily Koreans and they did not invite very many non koreans. I also quit in 2013, i remember well the server was very empty, no good pve, people were entertained only by PK but it wasnt enough to keep people there. I came back to game in August last year and what i saw in Dokdo was not many koreans there where many other nationalities there, my belief is that they non koreans who joined Dokdo Degraded the good reputation Koreans had in game, i can say within 2 months of being back i saw very little koreans, mostly only 1 guy who stayed in valdes all day. And btw they non koreans who were in Dokdo all left and i have saw most of them in different guilds every few weeks, 5+ guilds already or more, these are not Loyal guys, they will always leave guilds when things get tuff.
What was not clear for me in your statement is, are you saying koreans quit because of PK or they quit because of bugs/errors not being fixed, because both of these are very different subjects.
Also i think we can all agree that hackers are not being punished as they should be, i know 1 guy who got a 1 day ban after someone sent a video of him using instant cast, a 1 day ban for me is a complete joke and years ago it would have been a pernament ban, im not sure why they dont want to ban people, maybe they lost too many players in previous years due to bans? well i have no idea but it does not seem right.
Now about Black Tower, whilst there was a bug that has been fixed, the number of players who actually abused this bug was alot, basically he would be banning a mass of players at once which as you can imagine they would not want to do this. Now about compensation, helium would have to check each account to see who actually deserves a compensation,its very easy for someone to say "i didnt do it". I believe this would be too time consuming and will not happen. Whilst people admit to abusing this i didnt see anyone deny that it was wrong to do, all know it was a bug.
In a more positive note, tonight there will be a maintainence which will increase the BT boss drop rate to drop 10-18 xeons. Also Catacombs will be available next week with plans on adding a quest which would gain you Black Tower High ranks.
The thing we have to remember, we all play here because we love this game, many of us for many years, if we did not enjoy it we simply would not play. On servers which where closed down, there was no productivity or efforts from GMs for a long time, we have Helium, only him, whilst we do not agree with everything he is doing, he is trying to develop the game as best as he can,its a slow process, but it is progress.
Thanks to reply and I'm very appreciated that u try to understand what I wrote.
Most Korean can admit pks in this game. This is a MMORPG and Pk is one of content.
As I wrote (but if it was ambiguous to anyone, it was totally from my poor English),
Koreans have left because they feel that this game will not working properly anymore.
If there were bug that might bring about severe discrimination between players, or
if there were hacking users that might collapse character balance,
and someone feels unfair to submit investigating about them,
any sincere apologize or result of investigation should be announced first.
Without such announcement, only misunderstanding between players will be grown.
I know only one good man - helium have made a every efforts to satisfy remaining player.
But the more important thing is to communicate with player by himself or by assistant in forum or homepage.
Anyway I hope there will be more communication between players and developers or game assistants.
It's too late and AM 2: 50 here. Have a good sleep and see u later in requiem world.
