Stay at the rates we have now, or raise them?

Well, today some of us had a discussion with our moderators on the rate of the server.

Chris, Violet, and I would like it to stay at 100x, but according to the moderators the occupations we have now cause unbalance in the game and they'd like to make it more custom.

So, what do you guys think?

Low Rate: The way it is now, I don't know if the moderators want to make it custom even at these rates though.

Higher Rates: We'll have easier time leveling and the moderators are thinking of making it customized.

Also, if you do want the server to stay a low rate, the moderators have a challenge for us.
IF we can get a total of 50 new players on the server then they'll consider it.

Post your comments below Smile

no poll?

well you guys all know my vote, current rates.

But whatever jon, mike, whoever decide upon is fine. im just happy to be a part of unitedstory, the best pserver

Sadly, I have no idea how to add a poll :\

If we change our rates,
the server will be

Server will be more custom
Will get players way faster then we get now
We'll get a good rank on gtop100
We'll have enough donations to buy a good dedicated server
WAY MORE NPCS
Way more features in the server
More laidback

EDIT:

Also, think of it like this,

Less Players = Less Donations = Eventually we won't have a host = no server
More Players = More Donations = Enough for better dedicated servers = Keep the server up 100% lag free

well dont raise the rates too high and... yea

See, here's the counter argument, why isn't it possible to keep all the customs and still have a low rate?
I think 100x is really laid back, we had 8x on GMS and it was crazy as hell already.
I think being on the front page is still pretty decent for being for gtop where 90% of the servers that are on it is high rate.

High Rate does not affect if you can add/change NPCs to customize the server.

Okay, look at it like this...

Stay Low Rate > Don't get much players > Don't get much donations > End up not having a host > Without a host no server > FAIL

or

Go higher rate > Get more players > Get more donations > Get a good dedicated server and beable to pay for it without a problem > Server stays alive > PASS

How many people who play high rate servers...actually donate?

We will get more people, but very few would actually donate, must just want to play/grind etc

I like our rates atm

We are staying in the 2x rank on the ranking. I can try ask friends to vote when they can as well =]

Actually alot more donate.

UnitedStories v62 got so many donations.

What were the rates you were gonna change to?

based on occupations,

Also for some people who like playing on low/medium rates i could make an occupation for it?

im just intersted in drop rate!!! plz is too down!

The drop rate won't matter. All the drop rate does is increase chances of a certain item being drop which is something that won't matter

Junior Member Posts : 51 Join date : 2010-02-22

matters for me, becuase i was searching in google were i can get the equipment i need and i found it but the drop rate is to down to get it fast.

ok. i totally agree with the fact that we need more members of the server, i'm hesitant about the whole rate raising thing. I think if raising the rates is what it takes to get more people, then do it. But, try not to raise them too much

Personally, I always played high rate servers.

Simply because I don't take my time on games.

I play them because they entertain me.

Exactly, they're just way funner then gms like servers. The whole point is having fun.

Exp + Mesos is fine i think i just don't like the drop rate :[

Junior Member Posts : 51 Join date : 2010-02-22

Alright we'll raise the drop rate,

from 2x to 5-10x

I mean the drop is abit low. It's hard to farm good weapons, I'm still using some shitty lvl 70 claw cause Craverns are taking too long to drop :[
