Hello, Based on this previous topic discussions (https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3170-new-pvp-idea/), we tried to combine both @Gion's idea and @Legion's idea with your own feedback into a new PvP system that I'll present below, and you can still bring your feedback before actually implementing it. Mercenary Squad is a new OPTIONAL PvP System where anyone who wants more PvP can join. The system works in the following ways: You can register into the squad by writing /registerpvp. After you join you need to wait at least 24 hours before leaving it. In order to leave you need to write /unregisterpvp. You can join/leave for any number of times you want. There are 2 types of registration: Normal Level & ML, that will reflect only the reward. There will be a PvP Ranking on website for those registered. Features for those that register: There are 3 levels of seals that you get by registering, which will upgrade in time: First Seal is automatically given after you register, it will increase your Normal Exp (if you register for normal exp) or Master Exp (if you register for ML exp) with 8%. Second seal will give you 14% exp. Third seal will give you 20% exp. All seals will also have a visual effect on your character so people will know that you're part of the Mercenary Squad. You will bypass Fairness Gaps versus other Mercenaries. You will bypass PK Limit vs other Mercenaries. You will bypass Non-PvP invasions vs other Mercenaries. You will bypass Non-PvP maps vs other Mercenaries. There are 3 options that we thought of about PK between Mercenaries and will let you choose the best one: 1. Free PK between Mercenaries on any place (not getting murderer). 2. Normal PK between Mercenaries (you get murderer as usual). 3. Free PK between Mercenaries on 2-4 random maps selected each week from the highest ones, while on rest of maps will be normal PK. There is also a Mercenary Quest system that can be accessed once every 12 hours with the command /pvpquest. This command will assign you a random ONLINE player from the Mercenary Squad that you need to kill in the next 15 minutes in order to finish the quest. If you fail the quest nothing will happen. If the target goes offline during those 15 minutes you will be assigned with another target and another 15 minutes. Other aspects of Mercenary Squad: There is a Point System in order to decide rankings for Mercenaries: You will get 1 point for every 10 minutes of ONLINE TIME while you are registered on the squad. You will get 25 points for every succesfull quest you make as well as 2x Jewel of Harmony. When you reach certain number of points & quests you will be rewarded: 720 points & 8 finished quests will upgrade your seal to the 2nd one. 2500 points & 20 finished quests will upgrade your seal to 3rd one. Extra rewards based on points & quests that will be added at a later stage. IMPORTANT! If you unregister from the Mercenary Squad you will LOSE all your ACCUMULATED POINTS! So, the higher the risk the higher the reward. Waiting your feedback before starting the implementation.

Hello all! I’ve been to this server for a bit longer than 1 month so far, already did my 1st RR and going up for 2nd, I’m hunting golden, participating in OSGM events, trying to farm materials and in general all so far so good. I don’t know if I’m still a newbie or not, I will tell you some things from my point of view anyway. First of all when I joined here I was not alone. I brought my friends and we literally about 12 different people started playing. After the 1st week 3-4 left and nowdays, one month after our arrival we play only 4 people. The reasons are surely personal for some guys but the majority of the ones left (the 5 out of 6 to be more exact) was because of server difficulty. In my opinion is a great server tho and yes the name “Semi-Hard” says it all. It could be more like 30%semi-70%Hard but anyway Once you get your 1st resets done or you just reach lvl 400 some things become quite easier and you have plenty more things to do. Also because of the RR system (zen required to reset and exp decrease/ml exp increase) it’s always challenging for the player and surely you have to sacrifice some things in order to benefit from others. The truth is, things need careful planning because the balance you try to maintain can easily break. And not straight after you make some changes but at a later time! I started writing some suggestions about the economy a few days ago (this is the 2nd time I ‘m trying to make a proper post) which for the record I will include here BUT afterall it’s the players who make the economy . If the top players want to increase the prices in all top stuff they sell, which want-it-or-not you have to buy from them while being a “newbie” it doesn’t matter really if you increase jewels rate or zen gained or credits or whatever. They will just put the prices higher to match the new economical data. Profit is above all I think in the majority 😛 But before carrying on with suggestions I would like also to point out that this is a really nice and vivid server. It’s ALIVE. It has people – mostly nice people, who are willing to help you. And Adin doing great job, releasing small fixes with patched and in general is open to any dscussions. And something also very important, as some of our top and old players already do, you should focus supporting on "Newbiew-Events". Killua and Dieeee along with some other guys already did 2 events, Reporter promoted and helped on the 2nd one donating also some jewels if I’m not mistaken. I believe you did a great job supporting this action. Just keep it up!!! Suggestions time: 1) Increase the stat points gained after RR slightly (for example +20/+30 more stat points per RR). (I dunno if technically that’s possible tho because of people who already did some RRs and will be lacking these ponts) 2) After the 1st RR make all characters to be able to warp to the same locations on the same levels. 3) Increase the drop rate of Splinters of Armor and Blessings of Guardian slightly. Seriously, is it just me or these things won’t drop at all? 4) Make some forum or out-of-actual-game events with small rewards. Like the one Legion is already organizing with Hack-The-Account Event. Something to make people come in the forums and help the community grow. example: Lore-telling/sketching contest once per 2-3 months. EDIT: 5) Enable Marriage Rejected from myself ( :P ) Suggestions from 1st attempt to post: 1) Increase the credits somebody can take slighty. I was thinking to suggest to increase credits won per golden/rabbit kill but its the end-game guys who hunt these and kill them anyway. So, it's not a *profit* for the new-“more newbie” or more relaxed players. 2) I would suggest increasing slightly the credits reward for weekly voters and give a small portion of credits for every OSGM event participation. Thank you for reading this. Kind Regards /Mitsakos
