I got some complaints about our latest patch.

People say: "I pay real money for an Item and now it gets downgraded and I have to pay again.
You cheated me!"


I agree this can be bad for some people if they recently bought a titan ring.
So we might give some grace period (compensation) if you bought a titan ring from PUS in 2019 before patch 1245!
Create a topic in "your problems section" and we will check the date of purchase etc..

But...
you may consider the fact, that an item that you buy on a server
is not a physical value (not like a real silver bar...).
Even in the real world...you buy a new car and 1 year later...you lost a lot of money.
You buy a Döner/ Kebap and 15min later your money is gone...:P
You buy a new PC and 2 years later its worth almost nothing...


We constantly "burn" money for things that give us some "Value Over Time!"


And its the same with a game!
You pay and you get a certain value (fun) over time.
Take any Blizzard game for example:
For WOW you pay a monthly fee ( 14,99$ per month!!) just so you can enter the server!
For Hearthstone you buy card packs...but those card packs will loose value after 1 year, when the packs fall out of the "standard" game.
etc..
So what you actually pay for is NOT an item or everlasting pixels!
You pay the servers and you donate to keep the game going!
You pay for some gaming experience.

But you cant expect your items to keep the value over years and years...
cause the game has to develop and to change.

In this sence it doesnt matter if we decrease your old warimas ring a little and make it upgradable
or if we just bring a new "SuperWarimas" ring that would fully outdate your old Warimas.
In any case your old item would loose some of its value!

Overall im happy with the latest changes.
I never liked the "hidden" weapon defense on the rings.
And I like that we have further lowered the weapon defense on server!
This way duals will work more correct!

I remind again that on old maxko many sins were running with CS+ 1 Dagger,
cause 1x Dagger hit same dmg like 2x Daggers...
Not to mention that Duals on warriors was completely useless.

Since 3 years we brought those stats down a lot
and I think it provides us with a better gameplay.
It might seem strange for some if they see stats go down...
but it was a good and neccessary development!

So if you make a donation to the server
think of it as a support for the server!

The best thing that keeps your invest stable, is a server that runs over a long term!
And in this sense MaxKO is giving a good value since many many years!
There is many servers opening just for some months or a year...and than they are gone!
Or they reopen....and reopen... :P
Although we had a wipe in 2016 (KC didnt get wiped)...Flegy kept the server up and stable,
thanks to your donations!

Thanks for reading this long post :)
thanks for your understanding!
Your MaxKO Team!
