Hello!
Since server launch 8 months ago two questions keep popping up again and again.
Either from new players or people who play on other servers and consider migrating to Andromida.
1. Do I have to do all the quests again? Do you offer the possibility to skip quests?
2. If you don't offer the possibility to skip quests, why?
First we would like to give our thoughts and opinions on this topic:
Questing is an essential mechanic within a MMORPG, while the questing design may vary from game to game,all MMORPG have this in common.
We believe that players do like questing if there is a story that you can follow and the rewards for questing are appropriate.
We are confident that players ask for the option to skip quests for the one sole reason.
People don't want to quest trough the game again because they have done it many times before on official servers.
I have received confirmation for this when asking potential new players on Discord.
What holds you back from starting over on Andromida and leaving your current official server behind?
In 9/10 cases the answer is they don't want to do all the quests again.
Which brings us to following questions, we kindly ask our players for feedback.
1. What do you think about an option to skip quests? Should this be available?
2. What are the pros/cons of an option to skip quests?
3. Would such a function be positive or negative for the community growth?
4. How would you, as a person who played trough all the quests feel about this?
5. Should such an option be temporarily (Event) or permanently available?
6. Should such an option be available for free or tied to Cash Shop?
Currently this is just a thought experiment and this is our framework (basis) for discussion.
- Skipping quests would not reward the player EXP or items like normal questing does. Skipping quests means evading effort, rule is simple, no effort, no reward.
- Skipping quests would not be available for every quest but only for quests up to (including) Errac? Players must still do higher (difficult) quests after that.
- Skipping quests would only be available to newly created families.
