So, I never go to Forums to post. But this while thing is a giant screw up. I’m actually impressed that Anet has managed to not figure out how all this is messing up peoples enjoyment of the game. And with the giant pile of negative feedback I hope they’ll notice. Groups like TTS utilized the old Overflow system for being able to do runs properly, I’m not sure how they are going to do that anymore. Then us rpers are going to have immence trouble doing something we love, have a passion for. Rp is a huge investment, a life within a life. Whole tales woven through multiple people, creating great stories that thrive and grow. Peoples characters are people, they live, breath, exist to there writers and others. It is a massive investment for fun and something these people love with so much of there heart. We grow attached to their friends, relationships, the stories that unfold. Being able to experience things that we can’t in person elsewhere. Experience this grand world Anet has created. It has such great Lore, making it possible for us to create beautiful and expansive stories. People grow from Rp, we learn things, values, new philosophies. So many things about life. It, especially to me isn’t a game. Rping is a lifestyle, a lifestyle of a weaver of tales. Being able to experience more then normal due to it. I love rping in Guild wars, I’ve learned so much, woven great tales with my character, touched so many hearts. I don’t want that to end, that part of my life. But, if the Megaservers continue to split us all up, fracture our community it’ll happen and that saddens me greatly.
Everything I’ve read so far in peoples feedback, and ingame has been negative about the Megaservers. I’ve though critically about how the new timers will effect peoples enjoyment. How those that work won’t be able to enjoy so much that they loved here. I used to do a lot of events and such, was able to hit them up after Rping. Due to the old timers for the bosses. But now? I won’t be able to hit so many that I enjoyed. People are going to leave, people who loved fighting the big bosses, those that loved to organize massive guild events. Because it is going to become too difficult for them to do it. To get everyone together, or to even find the time to fight the boss in there sceduale. This whole thing is a mess and will destroy your game Anet, the community is what makes the game thrive. Chasing them off and crushing them will only bring your own downfall. This effects all your players, not just the rp community.
Also the Townclothes changes were foolish, I don’t know what you have planed but the outrage about it so far has been massive. People don’t want refunds, they want to be able to enjoy what they used to be able too. Part of this game is being pretty, being able to enjoy mix and matching. You just took that away from us in a major way.
I do hope you are all listening to everyone’s feedback, so far it does not. So little communication with the passionate playerbase you have. We love your game, we just want to be able to enjoy it and have fun. And, support you at the same time. We can’t do that if we lose our ability to have fun Anet. We just can’t.
I do hope this is all reverted, it is unfortunate all of you at Anet didn’t talk to the playerbase months ago while development of the Megaserver system started, this all could’ve been prevented.
