People still play this game?

like AloneMe said, login Jainus, go crafting studio (fishing hole) and see for yourself. The game is 50% Power arena 50% afk farming.

Is it fun to play? Really depends on who you ask....

well what can be done if the so-called PA has become the only source so-called PvP or better said 90% Lagg and the rest some killings, the real Pvp and War between the guilds it has become a story ever since they implemented the Power Arena system, before there was activity and the world still seeks to be entertained and not just an hour and a half while PA lasts.

ya but the pre PA system was a dirty grindfest so it wasnt any better.

I like power arena but there will never be good pvp in this game until

a) equipment gets normalized with PROPER pvp equipment
b) we go back to organized boss pvp pushing people into guilds

hate to say it but its needed

The issue is quite simple, this game was designed with PVE at it's core and PVP aimed at getting the best out of that PVE (pvp for bosses, pvp for the best grinding/farming spots) killing KOS to prevent them from farming/lvl'ing so you could take TSB and so on.

Currently:
1. There are way more grinding spots than people so you can grind easily without having to PK for a spot
2. There are no valuable bosses to kill beside maybe the one's in Hero hall, which have ridiculous respawn timers and are pretty much always killed by Hector. (even those bosses not worth pvp-ing over)
3. TSB is absolutely ASS, the reward of winning it is the tax income of a week, which adds up to maybe 5-6B crone, I make this in a day so what's the point of spending money on scrolls/stones etc to try and win TSB. (not to mention it's at like 4-5AM for Europe)
4. PA became the main focus because 1. it gives you more XP than you will gather grinding. 2. It's the only way to obtain a reasonable amount of BOV which are required for many things in game, including rerolling stats trans and getting 1k title, 3. it's a 100% chance for a +15 ticket. 4. without the PA badge you don't even need to try to PVP nor PVE since most people get 1 shot by abyss monsters. These 4 reasons add up for people to spam alts into PA rather than using any of the existing systems (e.g. grinding/dungeons/farming) to accumulate rewards or xp

How do you solve this?
1. Change the way TSB is played, adjust the rewards, disable SS use in TSB etc.
2. Bring back CV/SA and rework PA so it can be played 10x a day in blocks of 2 throughout every 24h period. Give BOV & cert rewards for SA/PA/TSB/CV in reasonable amounts.
3. Nerf the PA badge & nerf the damage of abyss monsters
4. Nerf the XP PA season reward gives and instead give certain monsters a proper XP boost (this makes certain spots in game much more valuable to farm at than others)
5. Rework the OG bosses like Ruler/Beze/Silva etc. So they are much harder to kill and give proper drops (not those sh1tty reworked rings no one wants): Why those bosses? Because the monsters around it are ass so everyone can participate in the PVP around those bosses rather than the top 1% of the players who are able to tank abyss monsters & AOE abyss boss hits.

Not gonna happen but that'd increase pvp without doubt.
