player count may have declined even further without the recent event, after all me and my friends started playing on a new account because of the boost pack event. here is what i hate about the game
maintenance times - I thought i was the only one but i’ve seen numerous complaints in shout that the maintenance is held too early, we get off work and can’t play the game and have to look for another game,. why not hold a maintenance after the reset when the majority of the player’s would be asleep?

selfish community - not everyone is selfish but there are plenty of people who can but refuse to play as a group during a instance or help the new players, i understand some people don’t have the time but i’ve seen this go on for a whole week.
there has been many people who just rush through the dungeon and end up having to come all the way back to kill the remaining monsters to unlock the last rooms etc, people lose out on exp when they’re far from the monster kill but some people aren’t considerate and just keep moving forward then start blaming the team for being so slow, as a result the team mates decide to stand still or leave, has anyone experienced this? one guy playing a single player game ended up ruining the party, i hope to avoid this situation in earth tower etc lol.
many new players require a base camp or sage warp or atleast a proper guidance to kajima’s visiting room because new accounts rush to level through dungeons until lv.242~252 not everyone has enough time to complete the quests to unlock access to those maps and not everyone is aware that you can google for maps, some people are overwhelmed just by looking at the map imagining how many maps it would take to join that storage party.
i’ve seen numerous shouts looking for squires but they eventually quit the game, some can still find their way but it takes 30 minutes assuming you know the way and have a mount skill, you have to consider that they can have a 8x tome running, it may seem like its unlimited but they run out quite fast especially when the new player made a bad decision of staying at catacombs with all that exp tomes instead of going to alemeth (thank god if they chose alemeth)
we could have had more players if more players offered help, i understand most squires just sit there at the best spot for free income but there should have been a several squires or a sage that could have helped, my deepest regrets is that i could have helped them if i had a slot for a squire.
i don’t blame imc considering it’s not entirely their fault, infact the english community in general is extremely toxic which explains why certain players play it like a single player game, i just wish our community could be more positive like korea and japan, they respect each other and help those in need,
alot of my friends quit the game because they didn’t know where to reach kajima’s visiting room, they used about 10 megaphones to look for a squire or sage but failed to receive help, i don’t think players deserve to complain about the decaying playerbase when they aren’t making it any better.
