I couldn't agree more. The game has basically become unplayable for the average player looking for a new mmorpg.
The only changes that have occurred have been constant revamps of the item shop which is clearly the focus of
development. Diamonds cost more and you get way less. Not to mention how many thousands of diamonds people had on
accounts that were deleted via server merges which occurs every few years. Regardless of diamonds, siege war is still in
beta and continues to crashes.. end-game dungeons require insane gear are balanced not to mention pvp is too. No new development is taking place and the game is just continually degrading as newer games come out. I say this as a veteran player who has played from the first expansion, so lets be real this game has no future and isn't going anywhere which is rather unfortunate.
Exactly what this game needs, which would require minimal effort from the development team, and as said before would be
a classic/oldschool server which begins at the first expansion (capped at lvl 50) and most importantly does NOT have an
item shop to create the exact problem we are facing. Of course i doubt gameforge would do that as they care more about
the item shop rather than the game itself.
