Suggestion: Unmerge Server 59

[masunget]

Dear GMs:

I am writing this thread to suggest that Server 59 be unmerged from the server group (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP). Due to the extravagance of a single player, our server has been denied the weekly Land Grab battle, the economy has been thrown into turmoil, and the achievements of the players who have been playing on (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP) have been stripped away and incredibly cheapened. For these reasons, many players on (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP) no longer enjoy the game and are extremely disappointed that our hard work over the past few months has become, more or less, worthless.

As to point one, this week (S52)Elysium guild was slated to battle (S59)Prime in the weekly Land Grab battle. However, at the last minute before the tally, (S59)Prime used Crystal Shop items to boost the Showdown Points of a dummy guild. This ensured that (S52)Elysium could not compete and (S59)Prime won the weekly Land Grab without having to fight anybody. Land Grab is an event designed by R2 for the fun of the player base. The merger of Server 59 has ENDED an in-game event.

As to point two, the merger of Server 59 has put the economy of (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP) into turmoil. There is a single player who relentlessly pumps cash shop items into the economy. Since the merger, I have yet to see this player absent from World Chat shouting about what new Cash Shop items can be had at his shop. As a result, items that were once valuable and rare have plummeted in price. Additionally, this player has amassed nearly 1000 platinum (yes, 1000) which is more than all of the other players in the Top 20 Gold list COMBINED. Because of this, there is a lot less money flowing through our economy. Since the merger, I have found it exceedingly difficult to sell the items I farm daily. This activity has completely wrecked our economy and it was exceedingly unfair to merge ANY server to a server where a single player has been doing as such.

As to point three, the merger of Server 59 has found our server crawling with Kilins, Gilded Battle Stallions, and even Mortals riding Hellwings. It seems like every Scion with (S59) next to his name has an Immortal Sperion. Upgrading was obviously much, much easier on Server 59 as a result of the extravagance of the player mentioned in Point 2. I feel as if I'm now playing on a Private Crystal Saga server in which a Cash Shop doesn't exist EXCEPT I was forced to level and upgrade my character in a server where it did exist and then after all of that hard work, I get plopped into a Server where such things seem to just be handed out freely. The Top 20 Ladder Board is full of nothing but (S59) players who have been to L75 of Ladder. Not a SINGLE person on (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP) had managed to pass L66 despite being a much older server. It's just really frustrating to see all my hard work in leveling and upgrading my character become so useless.

In summation, Server 59 should be unmerged from (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP). The extravagant spending of a SINGLE player has wrecked the economy, cheapened the hard work of those in the server group, and, so far, has completely ended an in game event. The server has been so severely skewed by the easy cash shop items available to it that it is unfit to be merged with any other server. Please, unmerge Server 59 and quarantine it before it corrupts and destroys more good servers. I, for one, do not foresee myself playing in this environment much longer.

Thank you for your time.

*** In the screenshots you'll see the player mentioned go from 500 platinum to 900 platinum in just about 17 hours. Additionally, you'll see the Ladder Board that includes Mortals who have reached L75.

You are not even in s52Elysium or s59Prime to complain about LG. You assumed that they used guild showdown points but in reality they didn't even used one. They used their guild stones. I know it's unfair at some point but if s52Elysium really wanted to be part in LG this week they should also use their guild stones to be able to compete in LG. Any guild who owns the land have the right to choose what time they want to activate the seignor exp. Since you guys cussing/disrespecting them they won't tell you what time they will activate it, simple as that.

How did s59 put the economy into turmoil ? Selling cash items cheap as they were before is bad in economy ? The price of hw before merge is still the same after merge. Most of us get gold by selling hw, so I don't get what is your problem here. I think your issue here is that you guys can't overpriced those cash items like before, so you are having problem getting easy gold by overpricing your cash items. Economy is good, it is you who is screwed.

It's not only s59 got their mounts got upgraded. Other servers too got their mounts upgraded. More people now have good pets. More players now have costumes. Because of that merge people who can't afford to buy cash items have now access to get those cash items by using they hard earned gold. Who cares about ladder rankings ? It's only for bragging rights. Most players in that ladder rankings only did that lvl 75 once, just to get the title. They're not doing it on daily basis.

When R2 started merging servers, players liked it or not there was no instance that they unmerged the merged server. So no matter what you do they will not unmerge those merged servers.

"You are not even in s52Elysium or s59Prime to complain about LG."

Whether I, or anybody else, is in (S52)Elysium or not is irrelevant as to Land Grab. It's a server-wide event that all guilds work towards every week. That event is being shut down by the unilateral decision of a PLAYER and not the Game Developers. Such a notion is asinine. I may not have had the points to be in Land Grab this week, but I could be next week, or the week after, etc and I still was participating by double clicking my Nimbus Shards.

"How did s59 put the economy into turmoil ?"

The merge saw an immediate infusion of Morph Crystals, Dragon Crystals, and other high demand items - in the thousands - into the economy. I, for one, had a large stash of many of these items (and I did not cash for them), the value of which was cut down to half or even a third of the initial value. On top of this, over 1000 platinum was drained from the economy in the span of two or three days, further depressing prices and causing a lull in economic activity. The character who was amassing the gold has been deleted, but the damage has been done. The ONLY saving grace, as a matter of fact, is that Hero Wings sell again. However, that's little consolation when the majority of my net worth in game has been decimated and my ability to buy and sell the items I need severely hampered.

"It's not only s59 got their mounts got upgraded."

I'm sorry, are you suggesting that other servers benefited from (S59) being awash with easy-to-have cash items? That doesn't make any sense. The point is, I was forced to upgrade my character in an environment where cash items were not easy to get. I had to put in double or triple the amount of effort and gold into the upgrades I have managed thus far as compared to one who leveled on (S59) thus making my hard work much less valuable.

"When R2 started merging servers, players liked it or not there was no instance that they unmerged the merged server. So no matter what you do they will not unmerge those merged servers."

I know they won't. This thread isn't a serious suggestion but a means to vent my frustration.

[singilbert3]

Galahalt was nothing but lies no he did not delete his acc cuz of his "marrige" he is just some a hole hacker its one single person not a rich family or weird couple he just did it all to play it off he has been deleted is now gone and hopefully never comes back

[Shamino]

Yes, it should be added, the thousands of items thrown into the economy were obtained ILLEGALLY, giving those in (S52)(S55)(S57)(DP) greater reason to complain. The culprit, Galahalt (Larahalt, Kosso, LissetteKim) has now had his alt characters banned. It's too bad R2 didn't do a thorough job when he was found out originally because the damage done by him is irreversible at this point.

[CheshireCatt]

Yeah, thats 2 bad, though its fair to say he got a lot of support from s59 beggars as well he supplied half of the server with real-money-items, funny how now everyone calls him hacker, when a while ago they used to call him "dad"

[masunget]

Like I've said you have no concerns regarding LG, coz u're not trying to compete in LG. Yes, you spamming your nimbus shards but it doesn't mean that you are trying to be in top 1 or 2 in guild points. Your guild Malice doesn't even belong in Top 10 in guild points. You just bringing up this topic coz you thought they used guild showdown point cards to be in top 1 and 2 in guild points last week.

Nothing lost if those 1000p was gone now. You agreed that we get our gold by selling hw. So the economy will continue as long we do our dungeons and sell those dungeon drops. Prices will go back to normal since no one will sell those cash items half the priced as before.

I said all players in that merged servers benefited not only s59. It's all about supply and demand. When you bought your items before merge the supply was less and the demand was high so prices were expensive. After merge more items came to server so the prices were cheaper. Believe me it's not only you who put an effort, everyone does. Just accept the fact that some players buy their things at the right time and place.

I think the problem here is about r2 not telling players what really happened to Galahalt/kosso/Lissete. People believed that he quit because of real life issue not by cheating or hacking. But since their characters are gone now. We can say that their chars got deleted because they did something wrong.

Masunget:

I bring up Land Grab because it's an event that I have participated in in the past, but I no longer have the opportunity to participate in it. It was shut down by a player; not by the Developers.

And buying hacked/exploited/duped items is NEVER buying at the right time. Server 59 has been tainted by illegal items for months now. Months. Obviously prices will eventually fluctuate to reflect the actual value, especially because the Hacker Galahalt has finally been removed from the server (a fact that has only been true since this morning). However, this will not remove the massive benefit that a handful of players received from the bounty of his illegal items.

Getting thrown into a server where cash shop items have been available for months from a Hacker is tremendously unfair. I don't understand how you can take the position that hacking/duping/exploiting is legitimate supply and demand. That's simply ridiculous.

[masunget]

Developers made an cash item Guild Showdown Points Card for that purpose. Guild Stone were made for that purpose. Older servers dealt with it, so you need to accept it.

No one knew that his items where hacked/exploited/duped. So whoever bought their items were legit. Those who bought their items were innocent. They paid it for it, it was not free.

[Silverblitzkrieg]

Uhhh. Veiner, wrong person. o.o

But on the bright side. It's probably kind of good that the hacker was banned. I'm actually quite amused that people instantly believed the 'farewell letter' Galla wrote.

[Haphaestus]

first off u dont need cash shop guild showdown point booster to win LG just exploit the glitch using guild stones second off seems like the person is making the items available to everyone not just players on s59 so buy the things urself and do what everyone else on my server does and resell them a bit later at a higher price cause in the end everyone is greedy
present company included last point so what the ladder ranks says lvl 75 that should provide u with even more incentive to become a better player

[sebastian1988]

Looks like I was right about this from the beginning
R2 seems to be a pretty corrupt company.

[Velner]

Haphaestus:

I should just be a cheater, too? Hmmm. . . no, thank you. Such an option, however, is not possible because the hacker has been banned. Thanks for the sound advice, anyway.

And EVEN IF I were willing to cheat to get ahead, a few days of buying cash items will not make up for the several months that Galahalt was playing on (S59) with an infinite stream of cash shop items. Hacked items that he gave freely to friends and sold for next to nothing to the rest of the server.

It was extremely reckless, lazy, and unfair for R2 to have merged (S59) with any other server when they KNEW Galahalt's hacking had severely influenced the server and they had done nothing to help mitigate the damage done by his hacking. It's even worse that Galahalt still had alts floating about with a stash of items which he used to drain 1000 platinum from the economy and crash the price of several items.

"last point so what the ladder ranks says lvl 75 that should provide u with even more incentive to become a better player"

Incentive to somehow get my character to a point that I can move faster through Ladder than two hacked characters that were completely maxed (3000 Soul, Max Divine Wings, L20 Kilins, etc). Sounds feasible. . . (sarcasm).

I am somewhat shocked at how quickly members of the community are willing to condone cheating. Of course, none of you were actually affected by it, so you don't really appreciate how incredibly frustrating it is.

This situation should have been largely embarrassing to R2. Somehow, a character managed to hack two characters to max and was able to play with impunity for something like 4 months. And to top it off, they took no steps to mitigate the damage done by the hacking and just threw (S59) into another server group. From a developing standpoint, it's simply idiotic.

i thought there were no working hacks in cs? so we can rule that out :P
