Now, Sausage has recently done some updates to the game, and let's hope this fixes some of the stuff I've been mentioning.

The biggest issue with the game right now is the same issue it's been having for the past 4 years or so: no one is doing anything. But you know what, can you blame them? Everyone has all the items they cheated for in the previous server, where's their motivation to work to get more good ones? They have them all and they're spoiled, pretty much. As for the newer players that don't have said items, it's very difficult for them to get them as one of the easier ways of doing so is making money then buying them. But none of the higher-leveled players are farming these items, because again, lack of motivation. So, unfortunately, though the prices of the high-end items are reasonable and there is in fact a functioning economy in the game (which is amazing because I remember initially nobody knew what the prices of anything should be), the game right now isn't really being played the way it's supposed to be. It's pretty much a medium-sized circle of nostalgic, reminiscing players that want the "good ol' days" back, back when they were so motivated to play, so motivated to work at getting the items they wanted, and getting the most unimaginable dopamine release in their brains when they finally did so. But that motivation isn't there, there's such a small community so you won't be impressing many people, and besides, they all have the same items you do already. I dunno, that's just what I've been witnessing, and I think, deep down inside, we all have.

As a longstanding veteran of the game, someone who started back in V.12 well back in 03 someone who KNOWS how the game has changed and evolved over all these years and who ISN'T blinded by the rose tinted nostalgia shades of yesteryear, if Sausage wants to make EO a game people will play, a game people will stick around for, a game that can make a mark even after all these years.......

Agreed on all points. A wipe would be the fair and logical decision to even the playing field - no more high level bot accounts with fortunes of botted gold.

I second this, a man with good intentions for this game would follow this advice to the letter.

I agree with all of this. I am 100% pro server wipe. I think it will be in the best interest of all the legitimate players, and if it scares off the players that have everything already, so what, then they aren't sticking around for the game, they're only sticking around because of their possessions.

I say, let's do a vote for suggestions from the players. Ask them what new things would they like to see. I for one would like new items. My sister is pretty good at copying the art style for EO if a pixel artist is needed. New maps would be very interesting. I think the game just needs something new to peek the interest of old players and NEW ones at that! :D I also have been playing for many years, and i remember that the players got most excited when new things were added, and how they would RACE to get a hold of that new item first. I think the admins need to be more active and playful with the players. Show us more of your personality and what EO means to you!

It would be interesting to get something new like a map or an item each month, like what gaia online does. It keeps the players looking forward to something while they mess around on EO

Hello! Im totally down to get back into the game. I think the idea of a server wipe would be amazing but then all the rich players hoarding all the goods of the game will probably quit and thin out the pop. I would still play though :p you should do more frequent events thats what gets players attention. Atleast 1 event a month would be pretty adequate

Most of the rich players don't even play as it is, they just sit afk at the church. Some of them might cry about a wipe, but I'd doubt most of them would quit. At the very least, there should be a level wipe, because there's far too many super high leveled players who achieved it through botting.

So, since the big topic of discussion is whether or not there should be a server wipe, I went ahead and created this survey to see what the community thinks.

Apparently Sausage already held a democratic vote ( which I didn't participate in ) regarding a server wipe. The result was "no," There will be NO server wipe.

That's disappointing , well too bad the game will probably never recover then. Oh well. I'll be trying maplestory reboot since they are producing good ideas. Adios guys.

Probably countless people quit EO main after running into the dozens of botters at the sheep. They killed the game yet they claim they care about the game. Sad, really, I will be moving on also.

If there was a level wipe I think everyone at or below 50 should stay put, and anything above that point to be wiped. That way it's to too harsh of a wipe, If something like that is possible.

It won't happen. I asked sausage myself. He said it's not what the "players" want. Way to lose the true players with ambition to actually play the game. Piss poor way to run a game if you ask me. I just really want to play it for what it is.. A game.. With accomplishments and goals. You could have done something to help the life of this game sausage but instead you decided to bury it .

Getting upset won't help. I know things may never go back to the old way it was but really, the main EO admins didn't log on often and interact with the players much.

Botters killed the game. Botters can have the game.

Well I wish the best for you all. Hopefully eo strives and grows into a great game like it once was. I can no longer follow sorry to say.. after 10 years... Still hands down one of the best games I have ever played. I miss it so much.. Goodbye.

If Sausage isn't going to fix the mistakes botting created, then he should just keep botting legal. Make it a TRUE EO main clone

Don't really know what that is and don't really care. Unless I hear there's been a wipe I won't be returning to the game

I don't get why people even log on just to afk at church tbh. Just started getting back into it and I'm enjoying the lack of competition at resource/training spots. But if I wanna do any bossing it's only solo octo, reaper or anundo, which is pretty boring.

If you played before and enjoyed it I believe it's worth to play is still burning brightly. Even if it isn't as big does that matter? Is the size the main point? I know irl I have many friends wishing to play if we could find a server again... so I support the ideal that it is plenty worth playing... so long as people find enjoyment in even the smallest parts of it. If so, and it comes back, and we should ever meet (I always use the same user) then never hesitate to ask me for anything I'll always do my best to help.

I have to agree as well. I'm a huge player and have played most everything possible but EO is my mmo birthplace. Sadly my comp cut out two years ago and I lost everything from it... I've been searching for real hope of EO and how to get back. I loved everything about it and will do anything I personally can to help...

Another good idea on making this game popular is putting it on iOS or android. Basically smart phones, since this types of games are usually found on those types of devices. It would also increase the chance of making its way on popularity. But that's just my idea.

Honestly making an android version of endless onlinr would be my life. I've been getting back into the game and as said earlier I enjoy the no competition at bosses but it does feel lonely at times. The game was talking to people. Make an ANDROID AND APPLE VERSION. MORE SO ANDROID THO. IT WOULD BE MY LIFE. I LOVE ENDLESS ONLINE!
