I am probably not the target audience of this post- but I post nonetheless.
What do you really think of Ely in its current state?
I feel as though it is on the downswing, as most other private servers do. I do also think the generosity of players is hurting the new player base. A new player, on easy mode, joins and on multiple occasions I have seen a rich boi give them some mid-high tier gear. They have nothing to work towards, and they max in 5 hours- or get bored- and quit.
What makes you come back to play everyday?
The community is fun, and I know I can bullshit with most of the people.
What would you really like to see in the future of Ely?
I think it is a good server, I myself am just sick of this source. I do not feel like I need to do anything on it. So this question is not really for me.
Any comments of issues you think are currently concerning?
Monthly boxes are such an interesting thing. They are very nice in terms of getting a boost in donations every month- something I understand is very necessary. But it has flooded the eco with high tier items. In an already low player base, this has had a dramatic affect. Also, with how OP they were right away players got used to it. Now that you are trying to wane off of that a little, players feel as though they aren't worth it.
What does Ely need for you to come back and play again?
For me, it would need to be a new source. Preferably an OS server. That is probably the only thing that would make me play all out again
What made you part ways from playing Ely?
As I mentioned before, I have just done this source so much. It doesn't feel like a challenge, I know exactly what to do and when to do it. And things like legend mode aren't a challenge, just more time because I would still be doing all the same things.
That's pretty much all I have to say. Ty for reading
