I'm just test server player that doesn't have regular game account here, sometimes play here with my friend for fun. mainly playing in other server. i like ultima-exclusive items and ideas and quests, especially Hylian Shield and Virus shield vol-opt are pretty cool. sorry if my point is worthless or something wrong at all, but from my (non ultima veteran) eyes, there are so many event exclusive items. it's true those items motivate players to play events and i like event-only items too. but if you look back, there are so many unobtainable items till next event starts. In addition, it includes some of significant items such as cent/battle, STA, PGF etc. for me, battle unit is one of the start to play this game. if keeping cent/battle as event exclusive, i think lower tier battle unit should be available for new players with reasnable droprate. (around 70-80% battle speed i'd say.) about PGF, it's one of goal for this game, ppl who doesn't have yet will want to try for this item someday, but the chance is limited here.

Hate to say, but I couldn't agree more... What exactly does @Larva need to make the changes? Is it funding? Is he not making enough money? Do we need to pay a coder to help with adding new content and updating the game play? Are we just not open to making new changes? What do we have to do to get someone who cares? Because the server is definitely overall neglected... That statement has nothing to do with adding new content or making changes to the server. Nothing to do with OP equips or changing drop rates. We don't even have the staff to get events on time. So when it comes to advertising, supposedly posting on forums, and Twitch Streaming... What are we really doing here? Because when people come, they'll stay for a little bit and then realize the server had the Valentine's day event banner for 8 months and was just changed a few weeks ago... Hell, make it a see all tell all. If we need funding for professional advertising. Say that and start a GoFund me on the forms. That would be more proactive than what's happening now. I've lived and played PSO since Dreamcast days. Played through the FSOD days of Gamecube Ep1&2 and BB official Sega servers, and before I went to college in 2012 I was on Schthack's Server. It really does hurt to see something with so much potential - rot. Even now, almost over 20 years later since the original release of PSOBB... THIS server has the potential to make a comeback and have hundreds of players. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for new results. The state of the server won't change until we make changes... and it starts with Leadership-Larva/GMs(hiring new people) and then goes down the line to players and community... That's my 2 cents... Love all you guys.

I can't be bothered to read the rest of the thread but I'll lay my thoughts out. Ultima's decline ultimately boils down to how the server is managed by Larva. It's not OP weapons or any custom stuff, I believe there's an audience for that but it isn't fulfilled by Ultima. It's the silly stuff like PGF being available one month out of the year. It's needing 80 hit just to hit certain enemies, therefore encouraging people to donate. It's the lack of any kind of change to better this server and has just be in the same state it was 3-4 years ago. It's events always starting almost a month late sometimes. It's toxic people, or even worse(such as pedophiles and conspiracy theorists),getting warned 10 times instead of being banned. It's the happy hour system that only encourages playing in 3 hour bursts instead of more often. It's the lack of anything to encourage people to play outside events, since most things worth using are event online. As a (ex)player, it's just obvious there's hardly any effort being put into this server anymore and it'll stay declining in population until there's an effort put forth by Larva to actually listen to his player base and admins who play this game to improve this server. As someone who's probably played close to 20,000 hours, I don't want to see this server die off. I would love to see this server alive again, but just letting it idle isn't going to fix anything. We can complain all we want but ultimately there's little we can do as players. You'd think having your server dwindle down to 10-20 players online would be enough of a kick in the pants to change something but apparently not. Ultima's problem ultimately dwindles down to Larva's inaction to change anything within the server. This isn't a hate post aimed at Larva, it's just stating facts from someone who's put entirely too much time into this game.

Hello everyone ! how are you? having fun? or just bored ? Ultima its what all the members together brings to the community. And we have all kind of members here, those who love to be here, to share and enjoy the server and what we have to offer, and those who like to just been around for nostalgia, and those who like to be around for... i dont know .. maybe it's just part of our life. It's true that we don't have the amount of active players as we did once, I have my thought on that of why that happened but will keep them for myself since I see things from another perspective. Anyway , my two cents .. I always share ultima links and advertise in the forums that im active, maybe you guys shall do the same in the places that you guys hang around. I'm not a social media person , I don' even have tiktok lol. anyway thanks for been around, we are few but still present. !!!
