Hello, I'd like to make a suggestion about either changing Eldorado or opening a new server. So I played during the whole 90 cap and quit once 100 cap was introduced, as that's not my cup of tea and probably it isn't for most people as well, because when I used to play during 90 cap the population peaked over 1k at some times, now I'm mostly seeing 300 to 400 people online for the few days I've been back.

About Eldorado: So my suggestion about Eldorado is to make it like 2x experience rate 2x quest rate and something like 1.5x drop rate or 2x IMO the reason Eldorado isn't as populated as genesis is the low rates, which are compensated to certain degree with the jewel boxes and premium exp, but still 1x rates aren't appealing to that many people, hence the low population. The other thing is sox, the server isn't as greatly populated as isro's were, and at one point in isro except SOS, which was still quite rare SOM and SUN was EXCEPTIONALLY rare even with people running goldbots and botting 24/7 you could count a server's suns on one's hands. They kinda messed up with pumping sox rate during 70 cap I believe? where everyone was running with suns and at 80 cap they reduced it so that SOM is super rare and SUN is like winning the lottery. That is also the reason you don't see as many, if any, suns on both servers, at least during my play time at 90 cap I can't recall of seeing a single sun weapon even with so many people doing "taxi" constantly at wings. However, SUN is actually waaaayyy too overpowered so maybe remove that entirely, pump up SOS drop rates a bit since its a useless seal when compared to last tier? and make SOM drop actually possible, like 1 SOM drop in 200~500 or 1000 hours of grinding? As we know SOM is like a regular T1 +10 weapon, meaning a 76 SOM weapon equals 85 +1 weapon, a 64 SOM weapon equals 72 +2 weapon. And SUN... is just overpowered, either remove sun or make is drop twice as hard as SOM and make it only as strong as +2 or +3 last tier gear? You can ignore all that though if you wish, as sox-free environment brings more fairness to gameplay.

About new server: I gotta admit, playing on Origin Genesis during 90 cap's gotta be the most fun I've ever had since isro's 80-90 cap. The utmost quality and long-term you could expect from a private server, people knew they could get sick of SRO then come back after a month or two and continue playing with their character, unlike how most other private servers last only a month or two, it gave you a feeling of slow and steady progression. Sure, it left some things to be desired, like the wizard "taxi" where you take in only lowbies warriors, bards, lurers, clerics in a item-free "taxi" and make them buff you so you can solo grind party mobs as a wizard, and you could farm tons of items/tabs/elixirs, which kinda forced people to make wizards and do "taxi" as well otherwise your solo grinding won't even yield 10% of what a wizard farmed during "taxi". But overall the experience had been great and for me it's undisputed number 1 quality private server, and I sincerely thank you for providing us with such joy.

My suggestion/question is, can we hope for a 80 to 90 cap brand new server? or we'll have to be satisfied with what we're given? A server like how the old genesis used to be during 80 and 90 cap. Exact same rates, exact same quest rewards, drops, maybe consider the sox suggestion? but that's up to you whether you want to keep a sox-free environment. I do think though that many people would come back to a brand new genesis-like 80 or 90 cap server. Of course my suggestion isn't to close the current main server genesis, just to open another server. These are my suggestions and you can ignore them all, after all it is your server and you have my greatest respect for bringing to us such a quality 80-90 cap server ( can't say for 100 cap since I absolutely despise 100 cap and I don't play on the server nearly enough nowadays to reach 100 level)

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Population peaked because of the pandemic rush, the usual server population was around 500 on Genesis. Many new servers have opened since then and players go to try them out. Some come back, some don't. the cycle is normal. It is not necessary because of certain cap update.

The core values of the server such as drop rates, exp rates wont be edited. We will not open the same server over again either.

If/when we open a new server, it will be totally different of the two we currently have.

Regards,

Thanks for replying :) Another suggestion I'd like to make is maybe add a 3-day or 7-day character bound premium or premium's exp ticket in Eldorado, which is about 400% or 500% so people know from the beginning they won't have to grind all the way up with only 1x exp rate. 3 hours a day of 500% exp from premium is honestly more than enough, but most new players probably don't even know premium's experience buff is 500% instead of 100%. And premium isn't that hard to get once you start dropping jewel boxes as elixirs are quite expensive.

That's part of the core values. The items are the exact of what the classic game used to give for new players.
