[Ataraxia 2021 Plans]

I genuinely loved reading this post. The server really has had an issue with keeping the new playerbase, and I always thought that one of the underlying factors was, exactly as explained, that certain bugs or QoL updates have been overlooked. It really has gotten to the point where certain bugs just become a part of the game. The veterans get complacent and don't mind them as much, the new players do.

I also think that the community itself is one of if not the main driving factor behind this. People are constantly asking for the newest pvm updates like Solak and all that good stuff, but when the devs roll out an update consisting of mainly small bug fixes, people complain. Everybody wants huge updates with new content, i'm sure even the developers get bored of bug fixing when they could be coding a new boss, but again I love seeing that something is gonna change. Solak and eldritch bows are awesome, but what difference does it make if the server shuts down in 6 months because there's not enough money cycling to support it.

Given all that, i've never financially supported a server to the extent I have this one. The staff team and developers did a great job building an the game, I see no reason why the playerbase can't be restored to the old numbers. Good luck.

Also I think adding some sort of gear / weapon progression guide for normal players / ironmen on discord and ingame would be great at combatting the unclear tier progression system mentioned. Could definitely help secure more players who have hardly even played RS3.
