I Would rather see a time llmit per character in Icarus.
So the same people can't farm it from server start till end every time.
I don't even bother going for the first few weeks because all the nojob players there on their computers 24/7 holding all spots.
 
I put an alt in icarus 24hours ago, and already the same nojobs's trying to hold all spots have pked me 4 times. It is frustrating, but they are not breaking the current rules, so nothing to be done.
However, I do see sombraX's point.
I think it needs to be pointed out that he is saying limiting things to be like BC/DS might stop the people who log 2 chars, go offatack change IP and log 2 more, so on and so forth. They could potentially then log 10 characters and have 1 in each party picking up feather/crests. Repeating this process every 5 hours to keep them online. 
Compared to as Gaion pointed out, the limit would only half the amount of characters someone with multiple devices could have in icarus, though that still sounds like it would help?

I actually think the current system works pretty good.
We all sold jewels, or were close to, first rr, so that's a non issue
+zen on a main is going to be a waste if its +1% / +10% or even +50%, this is really only an alt farmer option. 
The thing with +10% is its actually quite a lot. I have to use an example to prove my point.
Say you get 5k zen per drop, and you get 5 drops per minute. That's 25k zen per minute. You then take away your helper / pots cost per minute and lets just say for arguments sake you end up loosing 1k p/minute.
Then lets say you equip a +10%zen item. Now you get 5.5k per drop and 27.5k p/minute. Now you make 1.5k per minute. Another item +zen will put you at 30k p/minute (4k profit p/min), which is not just 10% more than you were getting with 1 item (1.5k > 4k = about +270% more)
Since the majority of the zen that drops is used in running the helper, any amount more is pure profit.
Combine this knowledge with having a look at the base zen drops in each map (monster level is only a small part of how much zen drops... each map has a different base  there's a post from admin on this) and keeping in mind kills p/minute is just as important as exp per kill, and you can make decent zen. (My alt in full +zen set 6rr is making around 3kk zen p/hour)

My thoughts are this would work well in a very small server.
But we have quite a large community here. 
I spend quite a lot of time buying and selling things, ain't no way I am going to spend 3 or 4 times as long browsing a bunch of stores trying to find items I want rather than the exceptionally well made search in the online market. 
It also stops people from getting scammed as easy as they can very easily compare all current prices on an item they want side by side, rather than potentially not finding the cheaper items in the in game market. 
In game there is also no way to easily tell which items are new and which are not. 

All in all, in game systems are just too inefficient. 


 

We do give rewards / invites back exactly for such cases, but not in global cases (maintenance, rollbacks, server crashes, global disconnects/network problems, etc.).
And about the bug itself - it can happen when another invasion is over (and can happen for other bosses as well, not only imperial event). This is the main reason why you can't go Imperial during Goldens invasions, to avoid this bug. There are also some rare cases of Imperial bug itself (no gate when starting).
I am trying to find & fix such invasions bug since long time ago but there's no progress currently.
And about your reward - you can either get your secroms from the events or you can receive the entry + invite back, your choice(s).

Hey mate, not quite the right command for what you want.
/Re off = automatic deny all request.
/Re on = able to receive requests
/Re auto = auto accept request.
 
Now for what you want to do with your alt I suggest you adding a password also, an example would be to type this on all the characters you want in the same party -
/re auto 444
Then all they have to do is request party and they will be auto accepted, but anyone without that password set will not.!
 
Happy playing!

Thank you Admin.
Just wanted to say well done with the server. One of the best privately run servers out there, in any game.
There will always be squabbles and people thinking it is unfair on them, which maybe it could be for some? But you do a great job trying to balance the average 'pro player' and average 'casual player' I think, and that is all anyone could ask. The only issue that isn't fair on the server is one you cannot fix, and I've raised before.
I would say I am a slow but steady MU player. I don't have large amounts of time to play, as I am a mature age gamer now. But, I ensure I am training 24/7 with the muhelper. I only think I've been offline a few hours since the server was released.
I feel the game is fun to play even though I can't compete in most events (due to playing solo) with any of the main player base. 
But I enjoy the farming relaxing game style as something to look forward to seeing what dropped after work  I'm selling everything and hope to one day buy some decent pvp items as HVMAN said I think?
Keep up and good work, quite an enjoyable server.

Hello, 
There is an article in NewsPaper related to this topic, I leave you the link here.
Thank you!
 

Hello Deadcat,
Great points your raise. I raised very similar points in the forum chat also. 
The general thoughts were, the top few have trained very hard to get where they are, they just got their easier because of the fact they were 'ahead of the pack'. This is what allowed them the space to pull mobs and gain a further advantage over the crowd behind. 
I believe this type of advantage destroys the player base, and goes against everything the admin try's to achieve here, which is why he fixed it (albeit temporarily at the moment). I'm sure he will figure it out, and kudo's for doing so. 
How to handle the lead already achieved is an extremely touchy subject, removing rr's might be a bit harsh. My thoughts in the forum chat was to make the end of stage 1 penalty larger than curranty budgeted for. This would allow us all to enter stage 2 a bit closer together at least. IMO stage 1 is lost now.

Well i figured it out. Was just malwarebytes blocking the launcher from accessing the internet. Closing malwarebytes was not enough, I had to create a rule to allow the launcher through the firewall. Now works perfectly.
