View Full Version : Are we going to get a few more channels?
I mean, I know Venus' population isn't THAT big
but even the "shop" chan in venus is kinda crowdy. Considering Mercury is already close to saturation, would it be possible to consider adding a few more channels? I think 30 channels total, including at least 1 "trade" channel as someone else suggested would be a good idea.

i would think more like 25 channels. venus didnt even have enuff to fill 3 channels fully, plus merc aint all that full anymore so i think an extra 5 channels should be pretty chill

Every server on Cabal EU has 24 channels. I would expect somewhere around there.

I would have thought it's easier to increase the channel capacity than add more channels but I see [GM] Lorkan already likes the idea of more channels. So there it is we may have more channels. I guess its a wait and see now.

not only more channels but increase the limit of how many ppl can be in them or we r gonna need more than 1 trade channel cuz of the bots and ppl who afk instead of leaving ...

make ch 1 a trade channel again, with no mobs/dungeons disabled so ppl can only go there for merching.

I've been advised that they will increase the capacity for CH.5 which was the trade channel for Mercury.
Eh..... really? I'm at loss for words.
If you guys already forgot, a while ago, Venus' "shop" channel was channel 8. One day, channel 8 crashed, and people moved to channel 2. Channel 2 has been the "shop" channel since then.
Saying channel 5 is the "trade" channel in Mercury is kinda wrong. It's only a community choice. There's nothing to indicate that channel 5 IS a trade channel. Just a bunch of people going in there.
If you were to say "As a temporary solution, the capacity in ch5 will be increased" then OK, sure. That's fine. But as a permanent solution it's kind of meh. Have you guys not seen how many people want an ACTUAL trade channel like there used to be?

Really? Changing the name from CH.5 to Trade Channel makes that much a difference for you veteran players?
The names makes that much of an issue?

Hmmmm... maybe you don't realise this. As mentionned in other posts from other people, Ch.1 used to be orange with the mentinon (trade) and yes, it was different. There was no mob, and you could not run dungeons. So it was a channel used strickly for merchandising, pvp and gvg as well as taking screenshots without ugly mobs, showing noobs where things are on maps without having to worry about them dieing (such as quests places, grinding spots, boss spawn points, etc).
And yea... I know I'm talking to a wall. Just look at what they did about mission battle. People were requesting them to ban the use of pots from it because it made the game unfair and gave a significant advantage to cash shop users. What do they do? They put those very pots on sale and encourrage people to spend and use them to win. I got a good laugh out of that one.
You are aware that everything has to come from Korea before they are implemented in any version of CABAL, right?
So people requesting for something to be removed isnt going to be instantaneous.
About them selling pots, they are a business. You do remember that as well right?
You may want to take a chill pill before you pop a vein.

A specific trade chan is kinda worthless IMO all it is is crybabies that don't wanna lose a little alz from ah
There is also ways around the fee but you are anti cash shop
As for the battle pots this is a free game they need to make money atleast they offer vouchers to allow the crybabies to have access to the same stuff as the cash shop users
It's noones fault that people are too cheap lazy or unwilling to gain means to keep the same advantage as the cash shop users
Also the GMs have zero control over what happens to the Chan or cash shop they just do what est tells them
They can recommend till there blue in the face but normally they just get blown off so stop beating on them

Customer is always right? A slogan created older than most of us. This isn't Wal-Mart, you can't cry your butt off and get what you want. I dont even know how this "Customer is always right" discussion started.
The forum goers represent a small majority of the actual players. I'm pretty sure CABAL Players didn't vote you to be their representative.
Using Potion in Mission Battle doesn't sound like a good idea. But there are people who use them. Just because you do not like them, doesn't make everyone not like them. Quite obviously someone is happy with them, they're using it and supplies has been provided for the demand.
The world doesn't revolve around you and a few other people who have the same views as you.
I'm pretty sure CABAL Players didn't vote you to be their representative.
Did I ever say I was? Don't remember doing so. I was taught to speak my mind, which I have. I don't have anything else to say really. If they are too focused on their wallets to listen, eventually they will feel the consequences. I don't speak for the majority. Afterall, the average IQ isn't that high... and that means there's a lot people with less than that. I speak for common sense.
If I had been making this sort of decisions as a PR / Marketing agent, my boss would have fired me a long time ago. Maybe us Canadians have a different view on what is a healthy business. (also maybe why Canada's economy didn't nearly crash as much as America's)

I believe base on your actions and your determination to prove everything you say is what everyone wants. Or at the very least, what most forum goers say is what everyone wants.
1. Claims that the use of potion is hated by everyone.
2. Claims of know what people want regarding the trade channels.
Thus, you and other forum goers made yourself "Self-anointed" representative of the community.
I guess my IQ is higher than yours.

Trade Channel Suggestion has been brought up. Now pending approval.

04-05-2013, 01:29 AM
Can one trade channel not have any mobs like old times? Good place for guild videos :D and I think adding between 10, 15 more channels would be sufficient to withhold the merge and future Latin Servers players to populate the rest of the other channels.
Thank you.
Tenrai, Latin server is going to have its own server so we don't really need to take them in consideration for the increase of population. 15 channels would definitly be too much. but 5-10 channels, would be good enough to avoid extremly crowded channels.
Unless the ratio for mercury and venus is different on the channel selction, at peak hour I have counted the "blocks" for channel populations. Venus' occupation "blocks" outnumberred mercury's emty "blocks". Sooooooo yeah. Unless the channels have different capacity in mercury and venus, comes the merge, there will be players unable to connect (ew?)

jamnotjelly brings up a good point with this merge will t5 finally have 50+ player wars again. I'm sure we 170 to 190 players would love to have wars not skirmishes. One can only hope this will be so...;)

Actively, Venus usually had from 3v3-12v12 T5 wars last I knew. So daily probably increases only by 4-6 per normal war and 8-10 during busy ones.
