Immortel Realm Server

I am not sure what to do at the moment. think carefully about the choice before you pick one of the polls

My thoughts are , what does the Immortal realm do for our toons really, besides giving you the ability to raise stats even higher to a max of 60? When i think about it, it does give us something to do after paragon and all wished up, kind of like Cire's blade does for us. One thing I do miss is the Immortal trinket we receive with the personal area cleaner. Maybe if a new area were created that dropped a supreme wish in the deep and maybe trade a Supreme wish for an immortal trinket would be enough, It may cause some conflict waiting turns for the dungeon but would / should be a dungeon that requires a group to complete. One thing about the IR was a pain is only 1 boss dropped the supreme so it was always 1 person at a time which never made for good fun grouping up. Otherwise just open the server once we have a few more ready to acend.
What is needed to have the 3rd server, more hardware? does the mod need work? I do know " soul wrote that stuff in his own language not the norm script and is not easy to work on unless you are soul " says ReddStar and Warden.

I believe I'm with Erik. I've always heard that IR is a beast to run and bad coded, so its maintenance was impossible.
Altough I really liked the randomness of the stone usage (and the appearance change) I always felt very "lonely" over there. It was rare when I had company to hunt there.
Maybe it was that particular period, but if some of the features were included on the servers running today, SW drops, etc. I believe we would have teir benefits and still be able to talk to the other players.

gniht has officially spawned on forums! be afraid... be very afraid...

because i know how to type.

but back on topic... I had stated in-game I would not be voting on the IR issue because i do not know what all it involves and how it might change the server. I do not even know the current server in any depth!

that said, i would like to say that on a qualitative basis i enjoy difficult content. i know it's hard to strike that balance of what is doable for all classes and still a challenge to them all, but if IR makes for greater challenge levels then i might like it. if it's going to backwash into the base of 12ds and screw that up maybe not. i like the sounds of what Erik mentioned. adding 1 tougher area maybe? idk.

anyhow, more than anything... i'm saying hello here! why? because i know how to type... but not where to.

moving ways to get SW and personal AC into first two severs even if as prise at end of DM event, i though i really like the crafting challenge of the IR i realize im most likly the only one.

My vote is to move some of the stuff from IR to DS/Deep. Even though IR was a huge challenge and one that I would love to get back into. I don't see any of the elements to be effective today. Back in the day when there were more players on we would be able to received blessings and whatnot. These 'mass blessings' were awesome and would have 20(?) people participate at a time. It was a huge gathering and fun time overall. With the numbers down, I don't see blessing being done very much. We may be able to scrounge a blessing session a month, but if an IR toon were to miss it for IRL things, it wouldn't be fun because of the inventory issues.

A suggestion about what we may want to keep from IR.
- Custom Gear - I wasn't able to get too high into this in IR, but the ability to creat gear would be nice
- Ultimate Wishes
- Ability to change character model - this was a chance thing, sometimes good, sometimes bad
- Blessings - I know I just said it wouldn't be possible above, but something like it?!?

I think some aspects of the IR should be brought back but the IR itself was always problematic and EXTREMELY boring! There was no creativity put into it whatsoever and the bad coding made it impossible for anyone to improve it. That being said, the added stats aren't needed but it did give players more of an end game goal rather than stats to 50, spam DDS, The Source and Death until you have enough gold to max out your next toon and the personal area cleaner is always a bonus and makes looting a ton more easier.

However, this also means that it will be a ton of work for Nina to do and complete as it basically means, redesigning the IR and incorporating it into the main server. I am sure that she would be open to ideas with how the players would like these areas but I feel that it should be part of the main server but non accessible to non-immortals so it is truly an end game experience. The new areas should definitely challenge a maxed out 50 all stats toon but should not be over the top and repetitive like the previous IR and more than one place to get SWs would also definitely improve on this. Perhaps even some bonus end game areas that provide soloable SW drops, blessing rods, etc. for when there aren't many on or not many with the toons available to run harder areas then add in more party based areas for better drops like maybe these ultimate wishes or a greater quantity of SWs. Just a few ideas to get things going and hopefully will add/improve on the 12ds experience in the future.

I know Nina probably won't be able to get any of this started really until she is out of school and has time again but I'm sure ideas will be great to get things started and maybe in the meantime, add an area that enables players to get their own personal area cleaner since that is probably one of the few things actually missed about the IR.

My thoughts regarding the IR are much like everyone else. It was nice to be able to ascend there and farm the wishes until everything was maxed out, but it was really boring and lonely.
The fact that there was just one place you could get the wishes didn't help, so if someone was running you had not much to do.

Sure the blessings were fun! We would ad on the forum and it was like a server event, but the true server events (like this Halloween one) we would miss out. It's a lot o fun to be hunting a lot of odd looking candies

May we could have an area with some entrance requirements (such as one or two attributes as 40) and even the blessings area could be reached from a different portal for those players. The blessing events wouldn't have to be discontinued!

Regarding the challenges, Ocean of the Source is still hard even for players that returned from IR.
Maybe we could have an area that required a party of maxed out players. That would give what we all desired back then, but that is a greater update.
