CRPG is indeed dying.

I don't even know why i kept playing. I didn't even go over a .3 kdr until my fourth or fifth gen and i still rarely go .5. I guess I'm the exception. I never really had fun playing because I run in and die very quickly (just as I have always done) and then i talk in teamspeak or in chat. I suppose that is what kept me in this fucking awful game. That i could just shit up the dead chat and people would actually respond. That this is a small enough game to actually get to know people and learn from them even if most people just spam alt+X or uninstall. The troll community actually made me want to play because I finally found a game where you aren't just banned for putting one toenail over the line. Where people can have fun or go h4rdc0r3 kdr cav plate crutcher 2h gay mode.

Complaining about a mods dwindling playerbase and suggesting major overhauls for a niche mod of a niche game that is several years old already...

Thread is dead.  Continue gaming nothing to see here.

If there were more, smaller servers, you might get more new players staying, i.e. a 20 man under level 20 server etc.

Or a 3rd generation max.  Of course that would refer to combined generations, so some uber player won't make an alt to dominate the noobs. 

When I started playing C-Rpg, I quit several times cuz I just thought everyone was a spammer and gear made all the difference.  Then I learned to play, and noticed I rarely got spammed.  But now, when I see a noob (you can tell by their playstyle), I just spam them too.  I shouldn't, but hey, easy kill.

Since June the 19th we've had 3696 new accounts sign up

3696 new accounts made and how many stay? Well judging by the server numbers at peak times, not alot.
If only 1% of new players keep playing then that means of those 3696 new accounts only a mere 36 will stay.

That's abysmal and it wont change until you address the issues discussed.

Some time ago on EU1 a self-proclaimed bi-sexual was trolling the chat, yet no one said anything other than a few guys who had a sober discussion on sexuality.

To me it was the brave new world. At least when I was younger homosexuals weren't accepted at all (my grandmother used to tell me it was even worse in her time), but today in high schools here it is homophobes whom are not accepted.

Using this calculator: http://sayginsoher.com/merccrpg/calculator/

At Generation 16, assuming a constant x3 multiplier it takes 632 hours and 20 minutes to reach level 36.  His figures are generous if anything, as I rarely get a multiplier for a long period of time, let alone constantly.  Even to get to level 34, which is something more reasonable, it takes 158 hours.

Killing the grind is a reasonable step at this point in time.  MMOs frequently "compress" EXP for earlier levels as expansions are released, to allow newer/lower level players to catch up.  We don't have a level cap here, and veteran players still get to keep everything they've earned under the old system.  They will even benefit from faster progression under a new/revised system, probably more so than new players.

Why is this bullshit, enlighten me?

[Breidr]

That's the thing.  I'm still at the "retirement" phase, building loom points and trying out new stuff.  They've got the looms and know what they want to do, or have alts grinding while they keep their 32+ instead of going back to shit at 31.

This is part of the reason I've decided to focus on Strat battles.  They don't take generation or multiplier into account for XP (I think), and I use my commander's gear so looms aren't a problem.  I'll just grind out to a reasonable level on DTV and merc in Strat battles until 31, rinse, repeat.  I may go to NA_1 if I have enough friends on, but it's getting harder.  NA_1 is just so anti-fun for me.  I have no idea what I'm going to do when strat finally dies and battles dry up.
