Reflections ?

[Gornickthy]

Some responses are a little far out there, but that will happen within any topic. Some people like to joke, others spam, while others try to only participate when warranted.

Anywho... there are a lot of people holding their breath and sitting back waiting to see what the new fall season will bring. We all know that the summer months keep people pretty busy. Some come back when life slows down, some don't, and some new blood comes in. As the seasons change we will undoubtedly see an influx in player base. The question will remain though if it will be enough to support two servers. Then we do know that NS5 is in the works. Where will that be placed? How will the implementation of NS5 effect the player base of NS4? The powers that be will surely make the end decisions based upon player input, feedback, and server numbers.

So far we have discussed viable and not so viable options. The end result will be a mystery until it is determined by those that control our NS4 destinies. In the meantime we can continue to throw ideas around and keep showing an interest in events that ultimately effect us all.

And if you listen closely you might even be able to hear the faint cackle of Chase in the background echoing "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" as we debate our fates unbeknownst that we cannot control them.

What if reflections became something more than just and "overflow" for prime. That it became a true reflection of prime and had an organized effort to, in a sense, become the opposite.

The really only real change would be, and this would have to be from the player base, that a guild can't be in both servers, or at the very least the same faction.

For instance, CLAD would be in... i don't know... MA.
DW would be in SL...
DCN would be in TC
HNs in AO

etc...(these are just examples; each guild could pick a faction, or have a different name but essentially existing of the same player team)


Each guild could basically pack up their mules, and move elsewhere, or dissolve into something else. This would increase more of an even player base on both servers. Yeah, less people would play on Prime, but more on reflections. I think this would help lag out a lot too.

My idea basically allows for even more replay fun while maintaining loyalty to a gameplaying/roleplaying philosophy.

or if it were possible with some fancy script why not make them like east and west. connect them and in a sense have 2 of everything.

that way noone looses characters, infact some would gain characters.

boss camping...amongst other problems.

i wouldnt mind a server wipe should it come to that

If the servers were co-located a portal could be installed, so one could port between servers with one being PvP and one PvM or even, gods forbid RP.
Maybe this could be done with the current set-up, I don't know.
This is only an idea, maybe not even a good or viable one but one nonetheless.
The Bizarro NS4 sounds kinda fun.

[$chase$]

or we could stop talking about it and go play it. the reason player base is down in game is because your all here.lol if you want a RP server. there is a list of them on gamespy..
its been years if it AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT

I STILL think the coolest and most simple idea would be to make Reflections HARD CORE rules, OR Full pvp, or both for some real flavor.

(ie: you cannot respawn - you must be resurected, and all aoe spells do damage to friendlies)

But otherwise, keep 'em both running, look at ns3.. lots of servers still going, and ns4 is more of a 'mature' nwn server, so once the kids get tired of their uber weapons and uber gear, and grow up a bit, they'll hopefully migrate over here.

If you want to see the playerbase go up instantly -- put in the new planes! If there were 3 more planes along the same idea as HoD/Draco... This server would be a whole lot more fun in/near the end-game(40). HoD was my favorite on Ns3 and same on ns4 (even tho the Keeper isn't in it heh).

I like Celorn's idea of hardcore rules.... sucks when its late at night and no else is on though... Guess that's when you just log for the night or switch characters.

[mgrjebbo]

well its all good except i think that you should always be able to respawn but instead of loosing xp just take a level right off the top.

[Rummybum]

I agree with chase.

Wait a minute... I can't believe I said that.

Also not many dm events lately.

As for the one suggestion.. wait til Fall Season. THANKS! I took a vacation for the summer. I would have been beyond annoyed to lose all those previous months of playing.

As for the Hard Core. Please no. I like Reflections, for the fact it is not a shout match there. Most of us who do play even in different fractions laugh at eachother over the relics on who got them. The player base on Reflections also have major time zone differences. I have noticed the grouping times have been around 3 to 9pm pacific time. There have been times up to 20 players, even with prime not gone down.

Also, consider those who just enjoy Reflections over Prime period. We have one new guild Neversummer Knights {NK} and there is another in the works for SL "SOL". Once they are approved. IF that dont show the player base for devotations.

Give patients to Reflections players. We do have lives beyond the screen.
