Questions About Season 4

[Salviati]

Are there any plans to:

1. Remove all post-SI expansion classes?
2. Reduce incentivization to just mass group and zerg all content?
3. Make the server worth playing through experiences?

Is there any plan to address the failings of classic DAoC without tracing the steps in the sand of the historical reasons for why live servers went desolate and necessitated free shards in the first place?

For all the work that went into this server, it is pure junk from an individualistic standpoint.

The very need for seasons is indicative of a poor structure/approach.

1. Rather unlikely - there will more likely more "balancing" if sth is too weak or strong. Don´t expect perfect balancing in all shapes.
2. There are several new ways to reduce zerging, but it´s also a player choice what they want to do and well zergs are a huge part of DAoC. Yes it can be annoying that some zerg populations are more active or bigger at specific times. It´s sadly also a player choice mostly. You don´t have to zerg.
3. Dunno what you mean with this. If you mean the seasonal soft resets. It´s not a poor structure or approach, but a way to give fresh starts with lesser RA (and still NOT wiping the RR) possible at start, introducing new itemzitation or content etc without having too huge disadvantages between players or conflicts (by deleting/adding new items or features) and a season start also give people a easier approach to try out new things (=realms, classes ...) or join this server and not feeling too far behind. Last season was around 12 months.

Calling "all the work" a "pure junk from [your] individualisic standinpoint" is very offensive and it´s very harsh if you think about it being a guest without any investment on this server. Fun fact: The population is growing and yes, there will be no exponential growing forever, but this is sth what will happen to any game

You can call it a historical standpoint, if you want. They are following the same trajectory that destroyed live and spawned free shards in the first place.

It seems my "personal opinion" was and is shared by many.

Ultimately, I'd like to play a fun version of DAoC, but if this is what it is going to be here I'm fine just not playing, too. Hence the reason for my questions.
