while many of you were disgusted by "MA deleted everything"
Although Chakri been voicing out in an unappealing manner on the situation on MA
nevertheless i agree with he's statement. it may sounds nonsensical to you today.
but IMO MA did. destroy the server in a lot different game content and aspect.
although i main GX and i enjoyed the first 3months of MA.
eventually i find it boring, & had this hollow feeling. pretty much stop playing.
The decrease in populations are majority your veterans who has been playing for ages.
been at the stage of "end game" for a period of time.
they just slowly, eventually got bored and move on.
A huge contribution to this, is MA.
MA has made "end game" content so much easier and achievable for anyone.
you see items like cursed fragments price plummet, we simply don't have the mood to hard grind it anymore.
well since we spent all our stamina & vigor grinding the shlt out of bio5 in the past. the current price is a turn off.
truth is, the earlier you reach "end game" , the earlier you'll move on with this game.
since there is hardly any content arriving or that is *worth.
my favorite aspect of Ragnarok has always been:
- fulfilling experience of achieving set goals ( usually i just give myself the goals achieve to certain level on my characters )
- gearing up my characters , aiming for higher tier equipment
- farming, hard farming. just watching my zeny increase.
But all these process has been greatly shorten due to MA.
even if you're not a GX player, the market is still largely influence by the other players.
things are made easier. too easy.
However, at this point in time. there's no returning.
whatever MA has done. has been done. it's too late
i recognize this too late as well.
initially i thought, wow it'll be great for new player,
they will be catching up faster and easier. the game can probably flourish.
No. that wasnt the case. HAHA too bad, too late.
