Hi everyone.
I read the post from Varista over on https://schtserv.com/
I haven't played on Schtserv since before the FIRST wipe, and Ephinea has been the greatest PSO experience ever, hands down.
But I do think something is owed to Scht. It was the first time I could ever play on GameCube online after Sega pulled the plug, and I got YEARS of great fun on Schtserv Blue Burst before items / balance got way out of whack. (And even had SOME fun after they got out of whack.)
The post made me sad. I feel like the Admins there have tried their best but failed. And it's hard to look at a bunch of hard work and say, "I failed." I feel like they're going through that right now.
Rather than have them start completely over, would it be feasible, I mean...if this was something that Soda, Tofu, Matt, and Ender WANTED to do...to invite their Admins and players here and allow them to join the Ephinea family? Scht is still very important in that it offers GameCube PSO support and a now 90% functional Episode 3 experience (which is a huge step from where it started years ago). Is there any viability at all in merging the two servers and welcoming them with open arms?
Instead of EVERYONE having to start completely over, a lot of us could rally and give the new players some basic gear to get off to a healthy start. I know that for some, the initial grind from N-VH is just awful after playing Ultimate for such a long time. Maybe we could help.
Again; just an idea. I'm not a programmer. I don't know if their devs would be "fish out of water" here due to differences in server architecture. I just feel really sad for them. They seem really down and out, and I was just seeing if we could help.
Thanks for listening. Any input from the devs here is welcome. Or if this is a dumb idea that would never work, just say so. This isn't the usual rant where I'm going to fight and debate everything. I just felt the need to say something.
(Edit: Sorry, I didn't give any background info because I assumed everyone knew this already. Schtserv is going to wipe their server again due to balance / game content getting out of control.)
Take care,
-Ade
