+1 I don't have any ideas to add to this, but I'll say that back in December when we had in-game events happening the active users number was x3 more users than what we see these days. Mind you it was Christmas and there were Maple equips dropping, but I recall there still being a lot of engagement when I joined the whack-a-snowball event.

I recall in GMS there was a ring event for new characters that hit level 30 (I think.) The rings provided a boost to atk, matk, a critical hit chance and HP/MP boosts. In GMS the item itself could be traded once within your account. But I think in this case it would make sense to just make it character locked. It could be interesting to explore adding a unique item such as the above for new accounts only + NX. It won’t stop any current players from opening a new account BUT we wouldn’t be able to use it on any existing high level characters. The allure of an item like this is that it will continue to scale and improve DPS (even for mages through the crit chance) as they shift into mid and late game. For reference the Adventurer Critical, Cruel and Magical Rings: https://bbb.hidden-street.net/eq/accessories/ring

I've actually came back to this a few times to see your progress. Very fun idea. Good luck!

Currently: Playing (albeit far less than I used to) IGN: twerp Reasons: I am enjoying the game more casually lately and some of my previous guild mates still play. Was concerned about the state of the server for a while but I think Arnah is listening to the player base and implementing things to increase quality of life. I would be lying if I said sometimes I feel v weak and reliant on others to train effectively as a Priest, but I enjoy party play and hope good things will come eventually of party EXP + HS. Also really hoping for Pirates sooner (👀) than later so I can make the shift to an atk dmg class.

I've actually had this issue as well, but instead of it moving around and attacking aimlessly my character just locks up entirely. It resulted in death several times. I found it happened very often for me if I was quickly typing in the chat log, hit enter and then went to use Heal (Priest) or move my character. I'd essentially get locked and if I didn't close the client quick enough would die. Slightly different but still worth highlighting I think.

Hey all! Looking to start playing and before I do I was wondering if there's enough items to support a luckless Mage in the game? I tried to do some digging around but didn't find any details on this.
