I for one have been truly impressed with the amount of interaction as well as the changes so far this year. As you can see, I have been a long time Stratics reader and I cannot remember a time when the devs have been so active on the boards, or solicited so much player feedback.
Jeremy has been great and Leurocian has been awesome, it gives me hope that if we can address the little things one by one, this will be a game that can really attract both new and old players back.
I know there will always be some people that simply hate the changes, but hey, you cannot make everyone happy. It looks like they have done the next best thing, and listened to the majority.
I for one think Dragons should be really tough, but Elder Dragons would be a better name. And, the petball changes, I like the fact they are changing them, they may not have needed to impliment all the changes they did, but we will see. Changing pets AI after all these years, GREAT, a little learning curve for the most effective command sequences, but np. I just hope if I client that my dragon will not stand there and die to a hoard of slimes, lol.
*shameless plug for more stable slots for all*
I am sure people will still yelll about cheaters and exploits and the KR client. Given the changes I have seen so far this year, I will hold out hope that those issues are slated for the not so distant future. Lets all wait and see.
After 10 years I stil love this game. If one aspect is pissing me off, there is always a ton more content to go re-explore.
*Looking forward to the future*
