Review: Disabled Parties

[Caddies]

Does anyone know any new players here who have actually said they do not like the system? Does anyone know any new players here who have died because of this system and left the server for good? The only new players I have heard of have all said they actually like the change.

I agree with all the players and arguments for this last update.

... for what is worth ...

Sorry guys, this post is just repeating itself over and over again. The change is great, and will likely stick. So, just get over it. Move on ...

The system is really simple, and is in no way a "baptism by fire" like you say Scotty.  You should try it, i'm surprised you and many others haven't.


As for the gamespy server list name change. I think it would be in order. If not to simply put it to the top of the list, to make it more eye-catching, and intrigue RPers who might say, "Wow, It's been the same name for 3 years, I wonder what's going on here..."


Then they may stumble upon what is an excellent system and stay for a while.

Move on ...

Yes, this is what concerns me. So many have. I mean, I have. I miss EfU. It clearly is the best server. But they're making it into something it wasn't, or at least that's how I feel. Can't change it. They'll do what they think is right.

But I still hope that certain players return, new players join, and EfU does not seem so dying anymore, and returns to a state of constancy and growth.

(In before snide reply.)

I really don't get this whole idea of "loneliness" or lack of OOC community.  As far as I can tell, nothing of the sort has happened.  And how could simply altering the party system do that?  I send and receive the same amount of tells I ever did.  I visit IRC as often as I ever did.  While I was never really an IRC chatter of any distinction, I think I've managed to make a mark and know quite a few players and DMs pretty well.

NONE OF THAT HAS CHANGED.  AT ALL.

The new system is fun and different, and has in no way changed my playing style.  I really don't get or agree with the arguments against the change.

As far as being harder, I don't see it.  Not to mention it seems like XP rewards have increased in frequency and amount.  How is that harder?

I don't no about the loneliness factor being a problem so much until there is no one logging in.  Then, there will be no OOC community or IC community.  The more I use the new system, the less I like it, and I have yet to try a challenging quest in the higher level ranges.  Mostly because the times I have logged in, there hasn't been too many to quest with.
  I suppose, with less questing, we will have much more opportunity for Rp'ing our characters.  At this rate, perhaps I will learn to type good enough to keep up with an IG conversation.

  The solo quests seem to work well enough though.
