With the recent changes to the Kind Lady system, we've seen a large drop in population. And to a lesser degree, player activity whilst logged on.
If we can't coerce the staff to re-consider, I have some ideas on how to re-engage the current population, and bring more people into the fold from other games/servers!
And to me, I can only see it as a win/win for everyone on the server! (Gotta' love those situations!)
It has been suggested before, but I'm going to suggest it again, especially in the current state of Dalaya.
We should open a SECOND, fresh server. All new accounts, et cetera. We could have the server run for <x> amount of time, or forever, with a merge option to the home server.
- This gives existing high tier players a fun option for a semi-hardcore way of playing, where you won't be able to powerlevel, fund or assist your new characters! The greed in us all, makes it so hard to not just go buff, or twink a new character sometimes, haha!
- It will re-engage the current playerbase on things we've come to love about Dalaya!
- For returning players that already feel very left behind, it gives a much more open playing field - and makes time investment seem much more valuable. (Your 15+ year investment won't matter here, sans the knowledge you've gained, which is still a great bonus by the way!)
- For people playing other games, or on other Emu servers, this gives you a new opportunity to come in on the ground level of something big. With proper advertising + players spreading the word, we can expect an uptick in new/returning players to Dalaya!
- A merge option, will allow you to swap your character to the home server when you feel ready!
This has been brought up before, and the response seemed that the staff were not against the idea, but two things stood in the way.
Financial Cost of Server :
Staff Time Required to Start:
The Financial Cost could absolutely be crowdfunded by anyone who's interested, as i'm bringing this up - i'm more than willing to put my money where my mouth is.
Let the Dalaya community know around how much is needed to start, and maintain the second server - and allow us the opportunity to cover it!
The Staff time is another non-issue, simply state what kinds of help you may need with, and let the community offer help!
I think this could be a very fun and beneficial idea to the server(s) as a whole!
Please consider!
Love,
