currently I see that the server has gone down a lot, both in its public, as well as in the administration, I don't know what is happening but everything is far below what was considered ''normal'' I've been doing a lot lately, and I realized that it's very difficult to get out of run's with more than 5 apples, normally you get out with 6-9 easily, today you fight to get out with 5 or more which is considered difficult not to mention that many DC'S and crash client's events have been happening, for no reason... well we can also talk about the annual events that are all the same, nothing new comes along and it's getting more and more cloying... What would be the reason we are playing this server and investing hours and hours of your time to be strong and big? I don't know about you but I believe that these are the reasons why the game market is very low, and only declining, we hope in the next few days new things and that the staff will take action in the face of recent bug and dc events for no reason, yeah. this my friends are very low
I'm sorry to hear you feel that the seasonal events don't live up to your expectations. As it stands we devote a great amount of time and effort (especially this year) into bringing new, Royals-exclusive additions to them. Working on these seasonal events is a back-to-back job that leaves little to no time to recover in-between. Another factor we try to consider is that players may expect certain parts of the events to be included, perhaps because they feel nostalgic about them, or simply enjoy them. Each user has their own preferences and when we change something we always risk upsetting someone. Yet, if we were to just pile more and more events into a single release, the result would be indigestible for an average player.
I'm a player who's just in the royals for the reason of nostalgia, but there are things that if you always stay the same not walking correctly, I don't say take what is nostalgic about the server, but just try to innovate within this nostalgic pattern yours. it would also be nice for you to check the apq in the bonus and dc's part, I see people complaining a lot that there are few apples coming and taking a lot of dc's for no reason thank you for your attention
-I'd suggest posting any feedback in the feedback thread (potential APQ changes, etc.) located here: https://royals.ms/forum/forums/feedback.3/ . -APQ has always been tough as sometimes it drops a large amount of apples and sometimes little to none. This is how APQ was in GMS, so technically the nostalgia is still there. It's not meant to provide a stable flow of apples per run or it would bring down the market even further. I do however understand how frustrating it can be to get barely any apples while spending nearly an hour to complete 4 runs. -I would also suggest posting under Technical Help in regard to the DCing issues. I know I have faced those issues in the past with random DCs, but most of the time completely deleting the client and all previous versions of the client/reinstalling has helped resolve them. You can find that section here: https://royals.ms/forum/forums/technical-help.6/ .
I'm not leaving this server and switching to a better one because I've invested a lot of time on it and I know for sure that some others feels the same. It wasn't that hard for our new player on guild to switch and most of them did since they felt like a lot of work was needed before even start making any class that is not a warrior because of hp washing, our guild kinda died when a new server popped up on gtop page lol I love royals, but it does feels kinda dead recently, and it seems to be impossible to "join the fun" unless you invest lots and lots of hours farming/leeching/making mules/washing and gearing up to even be considered lol. To be honest I do love the events, I don't really mind them being recycled (and I've been here for a few years now). I just have my hopes up for the server and try to help new players to keep them on here, that's why I don't quit.
I think the problem is sometimes Royals feels like a clock. Round and round it goes year after year with the rich getting incrementally better. Lots of grinding is required. It's slow, and feels pointless except with friends (Covid brought in a lot of new people but that's fizzling out a bit now). People need mountains to climb to break up the cycle. Only new patches can really bring that.
