this. but also. if we just had a simple way to EARN HAPPY HOURS i think we could fix things. something like 10 roct ultimates need to be complete and server automatically starts happy hour. or perhaps its triggered by a certain number of people logged in. idk what criteria there should be, but if we simply had a way to earn happy hours we could see a lot more engagement

It’s time to pack it up bitches. Move on.

Ultima is not dead, it can be improved in many ways for sure however, that is true of most things. Alot of them were noted and honestly are well known. Toxic and inflammatory comments will not change anything and only serve to hurt our small community. Have a problem? Bring forth a solution. Want more players? Share this out there, tell people Ultima exists. Get them in here, help them out and play with them. The only way the community gets bigger here is by all of us doing our parts. Be the change you want to see.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Ultima has perished, but rather that it's become a shadow of it's former self — a shell of what it used to be. And that's for many reasons. Namely because of Ultima's inability to adapt and change. There needs to be a shakeup. And in more ways than one. Where are all of the Ultima staff? Shiida is often-times, the ONLY active GM on the server. If other staff members are unable or unwilling to step up, then there are a handful of select individuals who would be willing to. While we do appreciate all that she does, we can't expect Shiida to carry Ultima on her back forever. Which leads me to my next point; I believe that it would be beneficial for Ultima at this time for @Larva to elect a staff member to have elevated administrative privileges. More specifically, with the ability to start events in a timely manner. There are players that are very hyped for an event, but if it's delayed passed the expected start date, then their enthusiasm is deflated and their attention will be placed elsewhere. Ultima needs that enthusiasm, and that can be preserved with punctual event start times. Shiida would be the perfect staff member to assume this role. In the same vein as punctuality, the happy hour changes that were announced 9 months ago have yet to be implemented. The two biggest events of the year are coming — it would be great if the HH changes were active for them. An Ultima social media/Twitch presence could also be a gamechanger. In the right hands, of course. Now a few points that I believe would help to bolster player retention; I agree with @C01D1 in that the past forum events were great and were a fun way to keep the community engaged. While it's true that anyone can create such events, 'official' staff ran mini-events would be welcomed. I've also suggested in the past for 5x exp and/or green names to be turned on during event off-time. This would give players something to do when there's no active event.

I remember when there was extra staff that understood the game, had connections with other devs, and generally cared for server quality. Too bad he was removed by a loud minority that wants a lot for Ultima but has no ability to act on it. crazy 😂

we just need one of yall to make some shorts on tiktok or something to advertise and we would have players pretty easy imo. the players we do get from time to time dont stick around very long though and im not exactly sure what the issue is. perhaps its because we give them too much free stuff. then again i gave capt kidd some free stuff when he started and he is still with us so idk. thoughts? is it because larva does not start events on time? is it because of the events people are turned off? should we have a secondary method of obtaining event items like a weekly mini event?
