Hello. I believe the level sync in this server has to be raised. 10 levels is great but there a lot of dead zone times in this game. Early mornings and late evenings make it very difficult to party and do what needs to be done. If you raised the level cap to 20 levels it should make it much more playable. I understand that you don't want people to hang out in a certain zone forever to level but its better than not having a party at all and waiting around.

Well the sync is population based, issue now is that it's always over 500 which keeps it at 10 but on as average less than 10% of the server is actually LFP, many many AFKs and bazaar bots are keeping the sync low. It would be nice if players that have been afk for X amount of time don't affect the sync or players under lvl 10 but I imagine that could be hell to code, either way I don't see it changing.

It won't change and it already takes into account reduced numbers of players like Jynnx19 already said.

We just need some TOAU.

Yes. I do believe the level sync was great when it had less than 500 players but now that this server is so popular the level sync must adapt and be adjusted. It would be too difficult to manage afk players and active players. It would be simpler to just increase the level sync based on players. One thing for sure is it has to be increased. I truly think a lvl 20 sync would fix a lot of issues and make it enjoyable.

I haven't seen it go lower than 500. and when you said it already takes into account reduced number of players. Do you understand what adapting and adjustments means?? Those numbers are for when the server was still new.

Nas likes the values where they are, and have already been adjusted because of complaints.

The numbers we have now are not from when the server was new - in fact, for some time, we had no level sync limitations - then we had 40 levels, then 20 (and not a dynamic system, either, just always 40, then always 20). We had a 20 level limitation when I started playing on this server, with about 200 people online during peak times, and I still made it to 75 in just over a month of playing on my first job. Not that any particular player should be used to measure it, but I just can't see personally how having 10 levels and 1200 players is going to be any more difficult (or 20 levels and 500 when it does dip at 6 AM EST).

There has been a lot of discussion already on this and almost everyone on the server agrees, except for brand new players who don't know nas or the server very well, on the 10 level thing. I'd say most of us are happy to still have level sync at all.

Because there are a lot of afk players with bazaars. That affect the level sync. I have been playing for a week or two now and finding parties at around 10am pst and 9pm pst + especially past 1am pst is difficult. Not that many players to party up and if there is then they're a few levels out of range. You have to keep in mind just because you didn't have any trouble doesn't mean no one else does. Also doesn't it take much longer to get lvl 75 than a little over a month? even if it was 2 months that still seems very fast.

There have always been a lot of afk players. There are still more active players at 1 AM PST now than we had a year ago and the level sync range at that time is just as wide as a year ago. All of your ideas have already been suggested and kept in mind by nas, and he likes the current values. Sorry, I'm not trying to disagree with you, I'm just telling you the history and why it won't change, by nas's own words. I was the -biggest- advocate messaging him every single day about sync issues.

so if Nasomi thinks something is working well, should we just give up on getting it changed?
