Player count is up n down

[Ktm drip]

Now this isn’t a post to bash the game or whatever more of a criticism in trying to benefit the games progress with updates and a way to improve player activity. I’ll be speaking from sort of a maxed account experience I have ench comps max pvm death sorta everything you can think of when it comes to a maxed account besides all combat achievements done.

So my first point is sort of lack of reason to donate or vote. I previously made a few suggestions which could improve this as I think votes and donations are the two main fundamentals for server growth, and we are lacking it. Now I personally believe giving people a constant reason to vote and to buy things from the store daily would be a huge key to getting more people voting, I.e o made the idea of adding scrolls to the store that would give you drop rate bonuses maybe even bonus pkp points ect along those lines and it seemed not many agreed with oh I also added like long term vote goals with like a vote phat h’ween mask just some cosmetics for people to grind for. This isn’t a post been like oh why do my suggestions suck but more of a what do you guys think should be added into the vote store that can get more people voting? And the same can be for the donation store I think giving long term rewards with actually donating would be good even some cosmetic armour with some donation benefits would be a good way for that. I currently don’t actively vote nor donate I want to but I have sorta no reason to there’s nothing in those stores that makes me want to other then well it’s good for the server. If there were sorta scrolls that did boost drop rate increases pkp or slayer points for a certain amount of time I’d be voting or donating everyday and I really believe everybody else would cause who doesn’t want extra boosts.

Now I think another main problem with sorta older players playing is that for instance if I get a drop chances are it doesn’t actually do anything for me you can hardly sell items and for the drop rates on bosses and the actual value of those items like the items itself are pretty useless, for me nex is sorta like a med high lvl boss which gives the best armour in the game and the pieces are dirt cheap and if you did get a drop chances are you’re either high alching them or waiting a year to sell. With this o believe it would be great to have away to sink items and get a minimal upgrade for them this would create a market for items would create more areas more active and more reason to do other bosses, ultimately if it wasn’t for clue scrolls I’d have 0 interest in doing any bosses and would probs result in even playing pkh from time to time.

So in summary in what I’m saying is I know we don’t have active devs and it’s hard for us to get updates, but if we did get an update I do really believe fixing the vote store donation store and even just item sinks it would be highly beneficial for the game and I don’t actually think these things are a big thing to ask I’ve never coded but I don’t actually think these would take much time at all, but I could be wrong ofc. So if we did get an update I don’t think sorta small changes to like slayer or fixing the colours of items ect is ever going to change the player count of when we get an update like it needs to be with the sole person of making sure the voting/donating/item sinks as imo these are the fundamentals for a rsps to grow. So what do you guys think will improve the player count what’s something if it was added would make you wanna keep playing.

The drop rate scrolls from either the vote or donator store wouldn't be a bad idea. Making them equivalent to a pop up event similar to what Adam does daily. This of course would apply to a single person with a time limit. Another decent option would be to add a item sink (well of goodwill for reference). With the ability to boost drop rates after disposing a set bench mark of wealth IE. 25-50-75-100b whatever the goal. This is a concept many other servers also have and does a great job at removing large quantities of useless items while also giving the player/server an incentive to do so.

This post covers alot of things so I'm to break down your post into my opinions:

Reasons to donate / vote:
There is alot of reasons why people donate and vote. Voting is free and people tend to do it for not much reward, donating on the other hand requires a pretty decent incentive for people to spend their real money to a game.

I have played countless other servers yet have always stuck around on PKHonor for that fact that it is fairly well balanced. Donating can get you a pretty good head start in the game but not completely ruin the experience for anyone, The boosted scrolls are a fantastic idea and I would 100% support with that as it allows someone like myself who is a HCIM to buy a 50% boosted drop rate and go to scorpia as fast as possible to get the preserve scroll.

I also think adding scrolls to the voting store would be an amazing idea and would definately push people to vote more but for obvious reasons they need to be 1000 vote points plus to encourage daiy voting and voting for roughly 15 - 20 days to get 1 scroll which may seem alot however they would be worth it. I also think these should remain untradable and be added to master clue scroll rewards to allow people to obtain them ingame.

As opposed to the idea of not being able to sell high level armour and having to just high alch I think a scrappage system should be brought in where you can scrap high level armour for (Just an example) enchantment tokens and after collecting a certain amount of tokens you can add enchantments to BIS pieces, For example spending 10 enchantment tokens can add a 10% dr boost onto a BIS item such as P.Ring, Torture ammy etc.

The thing with active devs is that we all have personal lives and we all work for a living which can make it hard for someone to put an ungodly amount of hours into the game. If the devs were able to be paid a good amount of money to code and push updates this would be a different story but for what I can presume the devs do not get paid a crazy amount of money so they need to work for a living.

PKHonor is most certainly dying because of the lack of updates and overall people move on in their lives for personal reasons or other things but as a community we need to help as much as possible. It's all good saying that we want updates and this and that but it takes alot of time and effort to actually code that into the game, I think the developers need to think of a way that us as a COMMUNITY can help them push updates and take alot of stress away from them.
