The server was at 20/55 some nights when the factions were released. For a variety of different reasons, players have left to a point where you often see 0/55. Many of those complaints were voiced.

@Zool Said without compromising the "server vision"... Does the vision matter if nobody is playing?

The maps going from Eveningstar to the Stormhorns is the biggest standout. The most interesting quests on the server are out there Irondrake, Dwarf Rescue, Frozen war. If you don't run up, it can take 30 mins to get out there and another 30 mins back.

The map where the NPC for warm waterfall is for example, its just massive empty paths that you have to run through with an occasional care spawn.

As for the Zool's journal, I think its a great addition. Shows very clearly what is being worked on

I see often there are very common suggestions that are brought up in Discord a lot over the past 4 months that often get brushed to the side.

Topics that include:
Low hp
Low loot
Low consumables
No DM in EU
Continual nerfing of existing gear
Massive areas in server that are empty
Wanting to have old fun quests back

It happens so often that if/when a DM responds to the suggestion its with a "The hp discussion again?" or "The loot chat again?". The reason why its brought up so consistently is because its commonly felt amongst the community of active, recently retired, and inactive players that all want the same thing. Its brought up consistently for a reason.

I would add this would result in less questions and/or frustration from players knowing what is being worked on. New factions for example- players would be fine if the feedback is "this is being worked on but its going to take a few more weeks" rather than "soon"

If the mobs dropped items as well it would probably solve that same issue.

Would recommend focus on buffing weaker classes rather than nerfing stronger ones.

Beholder theme is the worst IG. Any theme that requires you to earn IG/illegal to use should be head and shoulders above the rest

There are two threads here. Not sure which is the correct one to respond to.

The journal entry is no longer bugged, but the final boss does not give the update to turn it in for the gold/xp

If you are walking up the mountains it takes 25-30 minutes, plus another 25-30 on the way down. It can really consume the entire night if you want to go out there. And players should want to, some of the funnest quests on the server are out there -frost giants, frozen war, dwarf rescue. The map where the warm waterfall quest (Storm Horns, Tempest Valley) is a good example. It is 3x the length it should be.

Tested it with Orin, my pack didn't drop but I did get the following notification
