What the People want.

[Danilo Thann]

First, I'd like to thank the EX staff and +Colibri for this amazing Free Shard.

Now to the business...

Priorities. Can we the players ask +Colibri to do for us?

What I mean is beyond all of the lag and bugs, are we the people allowed to ask +Colibri to look into one thing that the Masses want to be looked into and implemented?

It feels like no? Which is fine. But I remember +Colibri asking Via a poll system about things he was thinking of implementing in the past.

It seems to me if your time is limited as a programmer, yet you have time to spare after all the fixes and issues. That you should be spending that time on adding something the people want as a whole.

Priorities. Can do good for us all, even one at a time.

What does everyone else think?

What does everyone else think?

I think your post is too vague.

[Starion]

It depends what you are asking for, I'd like an extra few mill, a well outside my house, I would like the orc's moved away as they are very bothersome and I swear I caught them playing knock down ginger (a street game), but I think you get the point, what are you and "the people" asking for how many people ?

Pretty sure this says it all...

But to be clear, and for the record.

There is no point in me suggesting something at this point, since I'm unsure if +Colibri will want to do this to begin with.

But hypothetically, I feel +Colibri listens well enough to the Masses; and should we be fair about what we ask him to fix or create for us, I'm sure the man would attempt to do so. Maybe even have some of the other staff create it, or fix it.

I for one would like T-Maps to be fun again... Perhaps new Guardian types, as well as new possible loots... and lastly a collectable item or fragment that needs to be found from all 6 t-map types, and when all 6 fragments are placed together a random reward is granted. Like a map to a new item say a weapon or armor. Or a bust of one of the staff members... Give us something please...

Danilo, I like your idea about the treasure maps, could it be something like the arties from Tokuno, by completing the Treasure maps you MIGHT get a Minor Treasure Map Artie, collect six and hand them into a Treasure Map NPC for a Major Treasure Map Artie or perhaps a Map to the Major Artie.

but the question is, can you change the I too We, at the last milestone there were 275 players, can you get the majority of them to vote for this idea, I'm not even sure if the majority read the forums, that's the dilemma.

Theres this forum: http://uoex.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 That is entirely devoted to feature requests.

This is a quote from +colibri 2 years ago.

Due to the large volume of requests and nobody to realize them, we currently don't see any point in getting new feature requests.

As we already have a ton on our plates, please don't add more

And some recent changes...

Ok folks, i have the changelogs but they're in a raw format, I will post it though. Overall however, there haven't been any noticable changes in terms of gameplay, just either bug fixes or additions to my utility for lag hunting.

I think that +Colibri has a full time scripting job keeping the server running smoothly. Unfortunately i don't him having time to change too many features.

[Danilo Thann]

Yeah the whole idea was to get everyone to vote on stuff... and that way +Colibri and staff could then focus on stuff we all wanted to have looked into or added. So there was an order to things. Instead of "I wonder what's going on."

That is of course when the Ex staff was focusing on we the masses and our wants and needs. Can;t run a server and only do what the people want. Sometimes you have to program what you want to have fun with the people... ha ha like what +Mocha created in Fel Wrong... I'm 98% sure it's her laughs I'm hearing every time I die in Fel Wrong these days... or maybe it's just me sobbing IRL... *shrugs*

Yeah funny how with time things might change... if we don't ask then how will we ever know.

Also the topic of +Colibri being overwhelmed with the size of the server as of today was talked about on another thread. Most people think he could use a few more programers to help him do what he's been trying to do for the last 2 years. But all in all its what he wants that will happen.

Thanks for trying to be helpful... if not counter productive... I know not which, mind you. But i have spent plenty of time reading the forums. Many of the threads written by +Colibri. Yours too, which i might point out... seem to troll people more often then have an original Idea of thier own. *shrugs* Maybe thats what I missed... if you don't have any ideas, Troll instead. *shrugs again*

*DIsclaimer* this post was in no way meant to belittle any one who had an opinion against my own opinions. However, the topic wasn't about what +Colibri did in the past, nor was it about adding more to his plate. It was however meant to give voice to the people who enjoy +Colibri's realm of fun. By allowing the people to help him prioritize what he has on his so called plate. Thank you for reading.
