Many new players have made us happy with their presence lately and because of this and an annoyance I had when I returned to the game over a year ago gave me the idea to post this.
I see many newby players who are quite shaken by the amount of coin that is required to buy a lair or plot, even had 1 player ask me once where the lair is that they were supposed to get for free which was quite a disappointment to hear that it was 600s-2g in price range.
Back in the days when lairs were new on Unity (not saying that it was better) but I recall buying both Rakonar lairs (800-900s each) in the Dralk region it cost me less then to buy a single lair or plot now 4 years later.
Actually I have 2 suggestions to propose…
1. Cut down big time on the price to purchase a lair or plot.
2. Implement a rental or lease system were players are forced to pay a specific amount of coin to a NPC in the player town or closest racial town. Allow for daily, weekly or monthly payments which the player has to keep track of him/herself (until the regular purchase price is paid over time).
While the lag is probably going to kill me for suggesting this, but giving people easier access to a home for themselves might be one extra encouragement for them to stay if they like the game.
