Instead of arguing each side back and forth, progress can be made if we make realistic and well thought out suggestion that might bring a resolution that will benefit both sides. AP resets currently are as close to vanilla as they can be. And while this is a nostalgia themed server, its very clear that some people believe AP resets are too difficult to obtain. However, AP resets do fall into a gray area when it comes to identifying them as nostalgic or not. This is all considering that during this time on GMS/SEA, AP resets are only obtainable through real money transaction. Of course, this will not happen here as this server is not a p2w server and I think it plans on this. My possible suggestions, if actions were to be done: 1. Add/Create a way for players to receive rewards based on daily logins. + This would encourage new players to remain active to receive login bonus. - Could be potentially abused if not set up correctly. - Not vanilla/nostalgic. - May be difficult to create/setup This would help new players to receive AP resets slightly faster depending on the configuration of said "reward system" as well as encourage players to remain active. 2. Create a standard price that you can buy AP resets from NPC/CS. + Would regulate the prices + Would be a slight meso sink - Would remove a potential money source for new players - Would create an unlimited source of AP Resets. This seems very unlikely to happen but is still a possible solution. While it would not fix a lot of things, it would allow players who do not mind grinding to reach a goal faster. Overall I do not think this is an optimal solution, but its a suggestion regardless. 3. Create a repeatable daily quest that allows players turn in unpopular items for NX cash or AP resets. EX: Trading X forging manuals for a random reward of 100, 200, 500NX or 2 AP Resets. + Would encourage unpopular maps to be more popular? + Leech prices could potentially drop like gobies if the mob drops were a good enough pay out. - Probably a lot of work to code - High potential to change the market/economy This one is iffy as well. I think it has a lot of potential but would require more thought than I put into it. 4. Do nothing. Honestly, the server is fine at the moment. Change is good but changing unnecessarily or without a clear direction can be detrimental. This is just my suggestion, it looks like the thread has actual interest so I wanted to start off discussions on possible changes.
Lol same I made my BM when you only needed 5.6k so I didn't wash much and I got 7.5k hp at level 200. I couldn't even go without HB until like level 180 or something lol (when I got like 7k). Besides it was far harder to find a party back then too, not many people did HT and you had to make a lot of friends to get into parties. Today you can just make NL and you'd see people smega for NLs often
