Hey Loki,

Yeah I am still alive. I had a loooong and good retirement. I just got back in the game and logged on for a week. No one is really pvping but farming. No Loki in sight. You retired? To bring dangers and pvps back is to get you back in the game. Everyone seems to be friendly now. No rivals lol.

I log in once a week nowadays waiting to play until ej decides when/if hes getting rid of 1.0 for 2.0. 2.0 was fun for a week until we beat all that content and destroyed all the pvpers.

Now its just a waiting game for next updates...

My two cents after coming back from a 10+ year break,

PVP is broken/dead. Nothing like it used to be. Rules about healing/potions are dumb. Buffs are dumb. Level 1-69 you might as well be level 10, PVP isn't possible until you hit max level.

I see no reason to attempt PVP anymore. Back when I last played, PVP was viable at all levels. A good level 50 could take on a level 60-65, no problem. Just wouldn't have the advantage. That aspect of the game is totally gone.

I have downloaded and logged on 2.0. I found it shocking because there was still only at least 2 players who were active. Xen 2.0 was developed several years ago. On 1.0, there are several players I’m not familiar with but sadly, Ifrit and Piz are the only players I’m familiar with.

Oh its all the same nerds, they just use dif names now. Everyone has 30 level 70s.

Well this seems that our society has been changed a lot in this game. No trash talking, etc. Not even one person saying QQ or LoL you suck, etc. in a week. That’s why I want to bring the best troll Loki back in the game and make these rivals or nerds mad. I don’t recognize most of these same nerds. One of my top rivals Bruuuut is gone. Thanks for the response, Mi Law.

My opinion on the PVP matter is that there are TOO many items coming into the game. People really believe that because they are achieving vexar/oblivion in much faster rates, that that is good for th game.

We know Ej takes some time to update on content.. so extending the amount of time it takes to achieve some of these high level items could be stretched out further. I know the propping system determines alot of the items value. But if a dirus sword was hard to come by, than it being even trash props would make that weapon valuable.

If the items dropped at a much rarer rate (including the boss drops) than items like a demo leather would have value ALL the way up until a rare dirus leather would drop. Items have become so silly that super vexar sword (while they did have bad props) were being dropped in T1. Some people even walk passed Dirus leathers and Omni plates because they dont want to hurt their KQ/Weekly dungeon.

So with that said: I ALWAYS thought that having vexar items drop faster and more available to the game would be good. But i've changed my perspective on that from seeing the game how it is now. Vexar gloves sell for the same amount as OmniHabus pots. You can trade TWO Omni pots for vexar gloves, and that just doesn't make sense to me.


PS: I changed your title because it wasnt informative enough.

Thanks for your thoughts, Xen101. Next time I will make more specific topic.

I haven’t played for 5 years. When I first logged on in game and went to cons (gear/pots sales). I was shocked everything is cheap even adapt gloves cost only 2 plats! I was naked/wiped and boom I got a holy power shield, Omni plate and Dirus armor. It is sad that someone sold them to merch on a daily basis. Someone told me they had 50 Diab shields in their storage. I would agree to a gear wipe and want this server to be like X3 in the past. I was originally a x3 player. X3 had a lack of high end gear and it was very challenging. I thought I liked it. It may bring back the dangers and we pvp over rare items.

X3 was the best era of Xenimus.
