FAQs about the takeover of The Settlers Online by CipSoft, the future, and our plans

You said the new players are not doing adv, i did it when was lower, BR/Siege, later Horseback/Outlaws etc they are not hard, but with this philosophy the lv80 players also do less or no adv (except event), no starfall etc because it give no benefit, i think most beauty in this game is the progressing/growing and strategy how you plan to do that, that is the essence of the game and that already enough fast (at least the leveling part, in 1-2 weeks i was over level 30 and joined to guildfest event with doing Sieges with normal generals, quests nearly help enough much until player can do adventures and buying example a YGG makes huge difference as well in early game)

I am not clear if you even know what my original suggestion was.

I told i have way different experience about leveling, mainly the lv50, because i was level ~45/48 pretty fast with adventures during the xmass event (so 5-6 weeks), I think my statement still valid, players leave not because of the leveling progress but because of more serious issues, stability, support etc others said if they leave from leveling then above 50 because till lv50 you can do easily then it became harder and need more grind, if between 1-10 became even more easy progress then it became more "shocking" the leveling afterwards (for that player who would leave because of that) and also more lv80 player became less active because reached the leveling goal so not sure if worth to make it more easier, that was my opinion.

If the game is exciting (forum/in game events), server is stable, you can play from anywhere, there is a solid customer support then leveling factor is a less important (personally i also like the guildfest event concept, just maybe with different reward but that could activate the players to do play, and collaborating event which makes it more fun)....

Other than that yeah, adding map fragments maybe make sense to the new players, but example in the guild often the higher levels already have too much and give free adv's to the low level players.

The rarity provision house is available at Christmas event. So you should have never encountered the same problem as someone starting in spring. I ended up having to buy one from the merchant because nothing but constant problems with map fragments. I am near 60 now but can't get YWC from the merchant because I need map fragments and now tomorrow they have a venture season which again requires map fragments. I would much have preferred to spend gems on generals but that lack of ability to generate map fragment is just a constant source of frustration.

You have right, i not experienced this issues, simple reason because the older players in most of the guild give you adventures, i do not see any sense to craft map fragment, rarity provision house is busy with crafting manuscripts (and grill steak buff if i have too less).
I am sure if example you ask then you can get YWC, also you can discover the TO (trade office) option where the players sell for other things, after you have YWC, simple you can sell the first/second/third thief adv in TO for other YWC from the YWC's loot so you can make YWC and you will never will out from it. (on sandyc. the players buy 2nd thief example for 10 YWC)

The non ali adventures (which also not rare like misty cake etc) the higher players often donate if you ask them because they can get via adventure search (what also an option to you if you buy more savage explorer for gem and send all of them for adv search between the events to prepare to the next event).

However most of the even favoritize the YWC (football, easter, xmass, anniversary and i guess halloween too), and makes it the most rewarded adv if we think to reward/time ratio, even now with 100% for ventures, still doing YWC because give better exp/rss compared with time and invesment

BTW you cannot get venture type adventure with mapfragment, only excelsior give it with crystal which not tradeable
