From there it seems like you can get on the crafted gear treadmill of progression.

I'm sorry, endgame was a mess when I was in for launch. The only option seemed to get into whatever sandbox corner and be content either clicking on cotton bundles, playing Auction House Simulator 2008, or feeding mats into a guild leader so he can play BIS roulette.

Into the corner where you can quietly cry as you contemplate the decisions in your life that led you to play this game after it has been very thoroughly exposed as A Bad Game.

No, I can't do this yet, i'm level 51 now there is still 4 more levels to go before I cry about it. That is on the top of my list of things to do though.

It sounds like crafted gear is the only option left. Nothing on the auction house is above level 50, I guess all of that gear is bind on pickup? Not enough players left in the game for group content.

Obsidian gear exists to catch people up, and they have made it much easier to acquire over time. It can be crafted with zero proficiency requirements.

Better off buying obsidian gear than playing with the RNG. Unless it's regrading ship components I just save for armor upgrades. If you get in a ok guild, there's plenty of dungeon gear though and Auroria gear is cheap and good for a start off the AH.

If you're leveling 50-55, i'd say do it mining or something that makes a little gold. Invest that in some property useful for trades routes or upgrading your wagon and ships.

You should try out Swordsman Online, they even have a built-in bot to help you level up while you sleep.

so who is reinstalling and logging in to save their name?

And how are the 'original' merged servers? are they they vibrant hive of activity that trion said they would be or the ghost towns that the players said they would be?

The only high population server is still a ghost town. So the server mergers really didn't fix anything.

Aranzeb is fine, not near as crazy as it was during launch but it has a steady population and enough PvP and drama. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to try it again and to try connecting with other Goons playing.

I would love to see the real data behind all their stupidity. How do you search for how many people are playing on steam?

It's not even on the top 100 games list.

http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Yet for some reason Knight Online is at like #20 for today with over 11k people at peak. How.. that game is like 10 years old and always looked terrible.

Remember that backwoods alley where you got those tokens that let you upgrade your weapon and it took hours? And then how you then realised about the hacks and the grind and how badly you'd been screwed. This is the real meta.

I think it's popular in some regions, like Turkey - they often stream it on Twitch.

Just like your posting.
There are way too many clicker games on there and also loving Dying Light Demo. How the gently caress are that many people playing a demo for a game that's that old? I just don't get what's going on here.

went looking at game spy.

Apparently about 1 million people added it to their steam account, but only half a mill ever hit play.

The most people on yesterday at the same time via steam was 1,480.

Thats probably less than there is land on a single server. lol

Just an FYI for people who think they might return to this great game, make sure to log in and claim from your account page the returning or legacy pack before June 28th. Among other things, it basically hands you a full set of gear that puts you around 4k gear score.

How is gear score calculated in this game, is it in dollars or euros?

Okay this was worth logging back into for. The armor you get is actually cool looking and on females isn't creepy Korean armor.

Yeah, it's better than most. The cloth still puts you in a miniskirt though. On the plus side the panties aren't white this time, so it's a little less gross when you flash yourself.







I like the tree houses. If I was still a land-haver I'd want one of those.

Trion's decisions over the past year have been good. There are still the hiccups since XL puts things in patches without telling them, but stuff like the cloak/costume synth/ayanad scrap systems have been game obtained. Things should shake up when the server transfers open up at the end of the month for morpheus, because that's where a lot of the players are and either PANTSU is transferring off or everyone else is. If they go and add to the population of other servers, we could end up with a few good ones.
