New "drop system" is flat out rubbish.

They will end up merging them sooner than later. There is no way they will maintain a server for long with those numbers. It made little sense to open a new server in the first place. We dont have the playerbase for that.

Ah ok thank you.

Apparently I missed something, how are they pretty much free now?

It doesn't matter how many of whoever are on it. End of the day this is still an NA server. So actually EU players or anyone outside of NA are the outsiders here.

lol July of 2022, yet here we are. That whole stance of " Although this change was applied to all regions including our own, it clearly is not representative of our region’s needs. " went well huh?

Finding actual patch notes, or something from a dev is illuding me. However, here are several threads from the KR bulletin board depicting their issues. https://aion.plaync.com/board/clsserver/view?articleId=637256f06921dd12c7fafbd4&categoryId=635b1cbf12d2a800080c716e&viewMode=classic&size=18 https://aion.plaync.com/board/clsserver/view?articleId=63bfd1e0bff6ba55f8007d55&categoryId=635b1cbf12d2a800080c716e&viewMode=classic&size=18 https://aion.plaync.com/board/clsserver/view?articleId=63db2997c13b246a1c72d374&categoryId=635b1cbf12d2a800080c716e&viewMode=classic&size=18 KR is experiencing the same thing we are with no drops and new players suffering. It's just trickled down to us.

This is a fact, (I'm trying to find the notes for further proof to add) and yes I'm sure this is why NC West has said nothing. While I scrounge up the documentation, check any KR stream or video of them doing PVE. You will see they have the exact same drop rate as we do in NA classic now. Literally nothing NA / NC West can probably do about it, however making a statement addressing this to the players should be done and should have already been done. Rather than leaving everyone to yell at them wanting answers. But why would they do that when they could milk it for more money?

You act as If Gameforge will be able to do anything about this change. If KR deems it so, that's it, Publisher can only request changes. Developer's make the call not Gameforge.

Because KR made the change to the drop rates due to their problem with bots.........

I mean yeah it does. They however are not making any special changes for other audiences. KR has a major bot problem, we get 99% of the exact same updates they create for KR. Once 2.5 hits in EU they will also have drop rates destroyed. If they don't already include that day one, which wouldn't really shock me.

The drop rate change is still baseline from KR. It will be funneled down to them same as it was to us.

EU will have the same issues once they update. This isn't something strictly NA has done. KR is the same way.

Pot meet kettle.
