We really need to close down the older worlds and allow migration

1) make dueling an OPTIONAL choice, that you can opt out of, and not be dueled to death daily by players 50 levels higher than you, just because they want to be an A$$... so duelers can duel themselves if they feel like it, but those that hate the dueling aspect don't have to worry about it... and quit making ALL the events to where you have to duel and defeat someone in order to finish...

Just imagine, theese type of players don't even know what happend at early 2009, when ff wasn't a thing, and the playerbase made mostly 3 different things: quests without town, building a town, or making fun in the game with "dueler towns", where were 50 people in one place with full of dueler gear, from level 15 to level 99, and they had only job: Kill everyone in the server. And I tell you a little secret: Nobody whinged for duels for some reason.

So if you buddy complaining about dueling, then this game really not the best choice. Duels are part of the game, no matter you like it or not, and EVERYONE should accept this. Can he make it optional? Of course he can, just do what @roland jacobs wrote 2 comments before. Simple as death.

Btw maybe your friend doing something wrong if he got denied from forum, or he just banned himself at the past.

2) Give players the right to be a "Jack of all trades" so we don't have to rely on someone else who's charging 100X more than the product is worth in order to advance our skills...

sounds like your friend still didn't learn the basics of this game.
1. "dueled to death daily by players 50 levels higher than you, just because they want to be an A$$" = if you can get dueled by players 50 levels higher means you have a high duel level. and you get your duel level up by dueling other players - and wining. the statement above is a sign of hypocrisy. "it's great when I hit someone, but not when someone else hits me." oh yeah, many people don't like the taste of their own medicine.

2. "so we don't have to rely on someone else who's charging 100X more than the product is worth" = this looks like a consequence of the first issue. if he had friends, he could collect products and they would craft stuff for him at cost. but it's hard to make friends when you duel so much that you get in the duel range of people 50 levels above you does he really think that all other players are paying that much? the way crafting is set up is supposed to increase collaboration and interaction between players. he should try it some time

I am posting this for a team mate. I am not sure EXACTLY which thread this might belong in but seems it may fit in here... and I'm also extremely puzzled why his forum access might be denied, as he seems a decent sort of guy, BUT...here it is:

"i don't have 2 cents to spare, and my forum access is denied... but i'll add my thoughts here, for anyone that wants to know, and re-post in the forums...

Deleting servers isn't going to help the problem... people that fort fight are going to fort fight, and those that don't aren't... so forcing closures of other servers because fort fights aren't full is just going to ruin things further... I play on different servers with different types of characters, so I can enjoy more aspects of the game...

There are 2 things i would really like to see, tho INNO will never approve of them... 1) make dueling an OPTIONAL choice, that you can opt out of, and not be dueled to death daily by players 50 levels higher than you, just because they want to be an A$$... so duelers can duel themselves if they feel like it, but those that hate the dueling aspect don't have to worry about it... and quit making ALL the events to where you have to duel and defeat someone in order to finish...

2) Give players the right to be a "Jack of all trades" so we don't have to rely on someone else who's charging 100X more than the product is worth in order to advance our skills...

I don't Fort fight on most of the worlds I play on... but I enjoy ALL aspects of the game.. Field cook here, different trades on other servers, different builds, etc... so if they end up closing worlds just because a few are whining about fort fights, i may decide to just stop playing... again.. my opinion... "

Hi Nova, please tell your team mate that he had reasonable suggestions and thank him for making them. I'm not sure what happened to him. Perhaps he lost his temper and perhaps he exaggerated the levels, like writing I got dueled by someone 50,000 levels higher than me, a sarcastic exaggeration or maybe he became upset and dueled back at players out of anger. I have no way of knowing. Whatever the case there are just as roland jacobs pointed out in the thread "Go townless, self-ko, skill specifically for defense. There are choices."

What I do know is he is not here to reply to comments but might want to read the forum. As players when we decide to join a ruthless town who's main desire is to kill other players for no other reason than to up the notches and steal some fast cash its close to being a character like Billy the Kidd western legend. He was depicted by some as a renowned gunfighter but in reality murdered 3 men one of which was defenseless though it was claimed they struggled for the same gun and when Billy got hold of it, a witness said "he had no choice but had to use it".

If you let your children play the game you could ask them if they think it is fair game to shot a nun or steal a horse for gain. Sure, certainly it is part of the game but are you sure that is how you want your play to be. Pointing out how the game works is one thing but making character references on a player who can't post a reply is another. Making a determination that your mate is a hypocrite or just doesn't know how to play the game properly is a decent play?

Another one said this, so I am not sure really...

" For some reason my old account on the forum is gone, and it seems i cant create a new one. "

 

[RaiderTr]

This might be why they are gone.. Everyone got this last year.
Not sure about not being able to make a new.

 

[Hr.Nyborg]

If players are having trouble with the forum. Ask them to write to support. Then i will look into it

 

[NovaStar]

@Hr.Nyborg thank you. I have found many players with this problem and have told them to do that. It appears maybe a few have, as I see a couple of them showing up lately.

I forget what thread it was though...it was mentioned by someone else that several people do not like to post here due to the "negative responses" that follow what they say (putting it lightly). One in particular, says that they are so unliked in their world that to even show up here and say "hi" they feel they will be "attacked". I know that may be a little of exaggeration, at least imo but I do also know that sometimes there is not a very respectful response to people's input. I, myself followed these forums for years, but hesitated to comment in them, as well due to some of the reactions to some of them in times past.

This forum is for all the player base that wishes to be a part of it (or should be, anyway) and yet I see people facing intimidation at times (which in turn, gets the same back in some cases...neither are right).

Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out there fwiw.

on the servers I play damager I get duelled and koed by many. when this happens I only blame myself that I didnt self-ko. I really cant understand why you would complain about it.
