Let's discuss...

Hello everyone! We think it's time to talk about a new branch of Scryde game project development - low-rate servers. It was the first experience of the team in opening a realized low-rate server and it was unforgettable for us. Scryde x1 concept development stretched for more than half a year of hard work in almost round-the-clock mode. Up to the moment of the server launch we didn't fully realize what result we were going to get.

We would like to remind you that the Scryde x1 server was launched on January 4 and, frankly speaking, the whole team was quite surprised by the results and metrics. We would like to share it with you: between January 4 and April 31, 125,334 players logged into the game more than 6,500,000 times and more than 140,255 characters were created.

Interesting fact: at the start of the server on January 4, the peak online was 7,100 players, which is 1,968 players less than a month after the start in February, where a peak online of 9,608 players was recorded.

At the moment (in May), the average evening online is 6,300 players, which is a flawless result for the 5th month of the Scryde x1 server. We are really proud of this result and thank everyone who chose Scryde. Together we break all stereotypes and support the favorite game of our youth - L2.

The absolute record is the number of arenas at Scryde x1 Olympics. On January 28, 852 arenas and 600+ registrations were recorded simultaneously. We think that no one has ever seen such a number of arenas in the entire 20-year history of the game.

In order to keep the interest in the game, we plan to open seasonal low-rate servers, which will serve as a constant influx of new players and maintain the interest of the old ones. This is the most effective and working way proven by the experience of our team.

Recently, a lot of discussions have been popping up in various channels where players express their opinions on the current state of the Scryde x1 server. We listen to your comments and realize that the requirements to improve the content and make drastic changes are relevant. We want to take into account your wishes and fix the mistakes that were made within the Scryde x1 server, as well as take all this experience into account on the new seasonal low-rate.

• Спойлер: “After the seasonal server opens, will Scryde x1 die?”

  No, absolutely not. A new server always attracts a new audience more effectively than an old one. According to this system our x50 and x1000 live for more than 7 years without wipes and keep always high and stable online. The best changes and practices are applied to Scryde x1
• Спойлер: “When will the merge of seasonal server with Scryde x1?”

  As practice shows, during the start of seasonal servers on the main server there is a drop of up to 15% of online. And during merge we get up to +50% to online. Merge is possible after 4-6 months after the start of the seasonal server
• Спойлер: “Are you opening a server to make money?”

  Like any other project or company, we are interested in it, every member of the team has a full-time job in the Scryde game project. We love this game and want to develop it, and the additional revenue of the project will be higher, so we can afford to hire more staff, make more new implementations, functionality and advertisements

A seasonal server is not only new players and clans, but also a lot of work on bugs. That's why we are opening this thread - to gather your feedback. Your ideas, suggestions and wishes on how we can improve the server will play one of the key roles in the creation of the new seasonal server. Whether it's new content, system changes, additional events or something completely different - we are ready to listen to every word you have to say. Your opinion is of the utmost importance to us, and we want to work in a direction that will meet your expectations and bring you a satisfying gameplay experience.

Please share your thoughts and ideas in this thread in a concise and specific manner. Each comment will be reviewed and taken into consideration for further discussion within the team. Please refrain from off-topic posts as much as possible (We will be forced to delete such posts).

For more informed feedback or for those who don't want to do it on the forum - we have opened access to form green and red cards.
