I'm gonna semi-necro this (2 weeks old), because it is relevant to my interests, and someone asked for input from new player.
I just arrived here with 5 other RL friends who played retail back then, and they all think of ToAU as the bee's knees and the golden era of the game. We realize how insanely busy Nasomi is on a daily basis with everything from botters/cheaters to players with issues to fixing bugs/implementing pre-ToAU content. That said, the following would go a long way into making ToAU feel usable and enjoyable by the playerbase, new and old :
- Implementing normal ToAU mobs in the zones and their specials/TP skills. No need to even put NMs or anything, this will add new camps everywhere.
- Adding missing AF quests for BLU and COR. It's awesome specialized gear and it's just a few quests.
- Implement the half of PUP that's missing along with their AF so that they feel like a complete, usable class too, but only if you want it in your game, I understand it's not a widely beloved class. One of my friends would've mained it if he could, though.
After that, Assaults, Nyzul, Besieged, Einherjar and such can stay in the backlog for as long as you wish, but at least a large swathe of land will see player traffic and feel usable for leveling and merit parties. It's new adventures in new areas with gorgeous music. :3 Just my two cents.
Edit: In today's update, Nasomi added the BLU AF quest among other things! Wow! He's so awesome! <3 Thanks for your hard work!
