Okay, so its nothing like logging on after a couple years and seeing just how dead terraworld is. I thought when I logged in last time it was dead, but this is even worse. First of all, where the hell is staff? I see Cubby on every time I log on, he may be afk a lot of the time, but when he logs back in he answers any questions and assists players. And whoever the admin Cubber is, (I'm told its not Cubby)how about giving them some damn powers instead of just novice admin. A NOVICE ADMIN IS AN OFFICER WITH WARP- USELESS for anything else.
How about this, instead of trying to add 500 things to this game, how about you start by taking some stuff out. Take out those useless bullshit quests in places like coldwood and secret city and the bullshit areas like that. If things were made to where players could do shit without asking 100 questions, it may be a little easier to keep players. I know when I started if I wouldnt have had a friend that was already maxed, I would have been completely screwed past LJ and mining. So how about making the game a little more simple.
Its pretty stupid that people come to main, get to escher, then go to coldwood, then go to reet, and have to go to antwerp to level their skills. These skills take hours and days to master. If possible, why not make it easier to master skills. I can't tell you how long i spent trying to max Black Arts on this char. I gave up after level 83, which took me hours upon hours of casting a bullshit spell. Had to drain over 100k on this one skill and didn't even come close to maxing it. What a waste. Ever wonder why people would rather risk a lock macroing this bullshit than doing it themselves? Its an easy answer. Who the hell wants to waste time doing shit like this only to be dissappointed when there is no reward from it. 2 hours of casting Raise Dead and waiting for mana to regen, and I get 1 skill point? WOOOT AWESOOME!
Another point that I was trying to get to, is making the game and maps linear. You shouldnt have to jump around from place to place, and go from here to there just to do one bullshit thing that gets you to the next place, that you'll only be at until you need something else. Questing is horrible on this game, because no one knows where anything is at. I've been to eyre I can't tell you how many times on my perma noob, and have never gotten there without looking up a guide. Am I the only one who thinks its retarded?
Come on guys, really its not rocket science. Quit trying to add all the bullshit that will only confuse the players more, and try to fix the shit that is already wrong. Its like having a house that is on fire, yet your still adding walls to it. Make the game to where even the dumbest person can find eyre with some signs or some shit, or at least give hints. I'd love to be able to log on for 5 minutes, 5 minutes that is, without someone having to ask where something is. If a person has to ask where everything is at, and everyone else is asking the same question, then change that. I would bet, that even a veteran player like myself, could not get from karmiel to antwerp (questing that is, not walking), without asking 20 questions. If I were to attempt it without asking questions, it would probably take weeks of wandering about and trying to find quests and hints that are non-existant until I possibly stumbled upon it on accident.
Wouldn't be surprised if I never got a reply to this, chances are I probably won't. Instead some of you will simply look at it. The admins will push it aside because their ideas seem better to them. None of this will ever get done probably because players have been bitching about shit like this for the past 5 years. So how about get some staff that will go through with a plan like this, and get rid of the rest. Staff used to be full of vets, who loved the game and were always on. Like i said, I have seen two in the past week, and they have been on a lot, but both are basically officers. Nothing can get done this way.
Please, do something about these problems. Terra is a great game and has a lot of potential, I just think you guys are going the wrong way with it.
Pretty sure this won't ever happen

Well I tried my lil bitty
Well I tried my lil bitty heart out to get staff to work together so we could have come up with ideas as a group when I was admin...and all I got was bickering and threats of losing my position if I didn't keep my mouth shut about it...I kept telling the staff that if we didn't work together to come up with new more meaningful ideas and add experience to quests that people would start leaving, who was right now?...
I would also like the add that I proposed the idea of a Quest HP cap to get people more interested in questing.The idea was that mobs would have a cap hp of 425 or whatever...and through quests and shit you could exceed that cap by 40-50 hp points, depending on the amount of quests and what we was gonna make the quest xp cap.I was told that the idea would never work and players wouldn't like it and if they did like it players would eventually try to abuse it.I obviously defended my idea, but was just told that if I kept on talking about it that I would soon lose all my respect and may lose my job....I suggested multiple other ideas such as making another Island like main.The purpose of this would be so that players could actually have an island that was more than 1 town and actually had another story line and wasn't just a waste of space, but I was told that my idea alone would be a waste of space and it would take up to many maps.I have also suggested getting rid of some of the pointless buggy quests at which it was also denied and put off.
Stupid stuff like this led me to resign my position.I mean honestly I had alot more details to my plans, and take in mind all the ideas I was trying to request looking more into was all by popular demand, but they wouldn't listen to any of it.I mean honestly the staff was so screwed up that when I suggested us all working together to help each other come of with better and more useful ideas for terra I was told that it wouldn't work that we work better as individuals...all I gotta ask is WHO WAS RIGHT NOW!?!?!?!

Staff have zero incentive to
Staff have zero incentive to put effort in and work together. Every staff member* tries to help out as much as they can, but if any staff member on this game is willing to put in 20 hours a week to try and fix this game, then they need to re-think their priorities in life. This is Tom's game, he is the only one that will earn anything if this game was to be a success. There is zero reason for anybody else to spend their time trying to better the game when they will receive nothing for it.
*Except me when I was staff

Still not you. Half your ideas had been posted and declined before. What can we do though, its not our game to decide these things for.

You also make it sound like I was the one threatening to fire you if you posted your ideas (since I was the one who told you not to post them). I've been around a lot longer than you, I suggested you do that because I already knew what most people would say if you told them your idea. Yes I did say it would make people lessen there opinion of you if you posted your ideas, because lets face it, every admin is a douche bag who hates anyone who they don't see eye to eye with. That was me attempting to keep that from happening to you.
As far me saying we work better when we work alone, that is the unfortunate truth, its easier to have admins work by their selves rather than with a group of people they don't get along with, which seems to have always been the case with admins, don't think I've ever seen a member not talk shit about one of the other admins at some point (I'm guilty of this too obviously).
