It is so sad, waited and was so excited of this new servers that they made a huge announcement about. Altar,Vega and Sirius.
Iam playing Altar and it´s the worst sh1t ive ever seen. It´s still populated and it will probably be enjoyable in the end but this start of a server is just the biggest joke of all times. Let me point it up:
* The lvl 70 skills and over that costed between 120 usd if you bought them the first 1.5 week. After 3 weeks they decide to make the skill costs almost free (10 m coins for each skill). What ive heard it was because of better PK, of course. but come on, they didn´t understand that from the beginning ? or it was just another try to get some extra money from the ppls that understood how useful the 70 skill/80 skill would be.
* One of the best / easiest farm was Juraid montain, i don´t know how many times the juraid mountain was bugged. It was either the bug when a mob spawned inside the wall and couldn´t get killed which ment that you couldn´t move on to the next floor. Second bug was a bug when you couldn´t see your party which ment it was impossible to get the party attacking same mob, just imagine Lich King when you have a party that can´t see the debuffs or when the buffer couldn´t buff the party members. This "just" last for the forst 3-4 weeks on the server.
* Coin bug, A few guys detected a bug with the Talia armour, when you had the items that you needed to craft the talia skins and you crafted one piece it didn´t take anything from the items you needed for crafting the talia part, it was bugged so with the items that you need to have to make 1 piece you could make as many as you wish for the cost of 1 taila. When you have made the talia part you could also sell this parts to sundries for a lot of money. Roomers said that for a guy that was good/fast on crafting / selling to merchants could make at least 4 gb´s / hours. Just imagine how that fucked up the economy on the server and how many ppls that could buy insane items. It was also at this times the "selling gb´s" price went so low on Kopazar,Klasgame and the rest of the items/gb´s sites cause the ppls that found out this bug sold all the gb´s to this sites.
* Laggs, The server have big problems with lags, expecially around the events. It was atleast the first month inpossible to have a exp party running when it was time for JR, the whole party died. Today Altar 5 crashed because of Zombie events. A big amount of players of course and that might be hard for a server to handle but come on, a company that makes this amount of money should be able to handle this. The private server SexyKO have over 6500 ppls online at 1 server and they have no problems with this kind of laggs. But why waste money for something better when they already make money.
* Items that shouldn´t be dropped has been dropped to ppls. Chitin shield was dropped the first days and it wasn´t on droplist that early and they took it away from the guy that recieved it. (fair but still, so fucking bad that they haven´t controlled this before relase a new server)
* When i played Olympia 2 years ago i had big issues to verify my telephonenumber on the website, i know Netherlands have the same problems cause the Area code that you need to select from a list (+46) which is for Sweden doesn´t exist. Countries like Norway, Denmark and Island is there and they still haven´t fixed it.
This is tbh just a few things that we have been facing in the beginning of the server and i wouldn´t recomend anyone to come to Altar atleast cause it has been such a failure. A company making this amount of money and can´t create a better "product" than this is just a shame for NttGame.
Iam one of many players invested some money into the server so iam gonna stick to this and see what´s happening but as i said, if you haven´t made your decision yet, don´t come here !
