Revive Epicquestz!

[StealWonders]

Hey!
So for the past few days I"ve been looking around the internet for the old empirewar.
Everyone misses it and it"s players maps and everything it had to offer.
One of the big aspects of the old empirewar was epicquestz (the build server) where all the
lord of the rings maps were built. Empirewar used to only have lotr maps which changed in v2.
Due to epicquestz being down, new maps won't be created anymore.
Please overwhelm this thread with your opinions about epicquestz and what made empirewar v1 uniqe.
Thanks

Already suggested things:

General Suggestions:

• Re-add the shop to spend some points
• Raise player cap to 32 once 24 players are reached (automatically)
• Be more active on social media (new EmpireWar trailer)
• Automatically add bigger maps to the map queue once more than 20 players are online (vice versa)
• TDM game mode and more core maps

Maps & Classes:

• Dol Amroth
• Minias Tirith:
  1. Dol Amroth Knight
  2. Hared Archer
  3. Morgul Orc
  4. Nazgul
  5. Troll
• Morgul:
  1. Warg Tamer
  2. Gondor Captain
  3. Troll
  4. Nazgul
  5. Morgul Orc
• Blackgate:
  1. Dwarf Hammerer
  2. Troll Chief
• Moria Halls:
  1. Dwarven Guard
  2. Hammerer
  3. Axethrower
  4. Balrog
  5. Bonebreaker
• Mossia:
  1. X-Bow (anti archer)
  2. Half troll

I don't think EpicQuestz is needed, or viable.
The old playerbase is too small to make a fully fledged building server viable.
Your server (SiegeMC) is fine for updating old maps/tweaking maps.

The fact that new maps aren't being built isn't due to a lack of EpicQuestz, but a lack of builders - and by builders, I mean trusted people within the community, that can build. Even when there are still those people around, I feel many don't want to enter into building a fully fledged map. (E.g: Fornost (fail); Ironhills 1 (fail); Ironhills 2 (fail)).

 

[StealWonders]

The playerbase is a outcome of the server closing. I don't want to pay every month for my server which hosts random maps and is completly rekt due to people just doing what they want on it. Also I think epicquestz would be a good idea, 1: Conrad already added 1 year to the website. 2: The youtube channel is basically free advertisements (2k subs) 3: It's a great place to keep building and recruit new players to help finish what Lockrules, Only_God & sjoerdtim didn't finish.

 

[assassiniv]

How about adding EQ to EW v.2 for players who are tired of the maps/pvp (moria gold) or just want to build.
(Maybe make it donor thingy)

 

[Ithladohr]

I stated before, I would love to see Empire War in it's full glory again, a bigger playerbase (major issue), more LOTR maps (a bit more bigger maps?)

I prefer the 25 player cap raised...

In my not-so-thought-through-opinion Empire War V1 was unique due to the Map specific classes. (Not the only reason obviously, but a Big one nonetheless) Dol Amroth Knight on Tirith, Warg Tamer on Morgul, Dwarf Hammerer, Troll Chief on Black Gate etc. etc. These classes made each and every map A completely different and interesting battle. All the maps were different, yes. But with the same classes on Every. Single. Map? That limits the variety in interesting battles. Right now I'd say Moria Gold is a good example: Goblin Merc. and Dwarf Engineer. those classes make things a lot more interesting in battle, (with the right people playing them I suppose, obviously not EVERYONE is going to decimate and hold a bridge with Engineer and not everyone is going to wipe out a group of Dwarves with Merc by knocking them off the bridge.) seeing this in the game is part of what makes Moria Gold (even though it's not the Best) my favorite map even having played New Osgil and Edoras again. Have the same classes on *almost* ever map makes people feel dull and even bored after awhile. Sure the usual: Archer, Swordsman, Shieldman and Constructor etc. are great. But having the point classes in old EW (*cough*Points*cough*Add em*cough*) gave people something to work for as well as giving them variety.

For all those who got bored after the first sentence of my post here: Map specific classes. Points. And Point classes. Done.

Another post. Here we go.
For a bigger playerbase the server (and staff, yes I'm talking to all of you) would need to take a, eh, "Leap of faith" I suppose. Bigger maps, more maps. And Yeah, raise the player cap to not more than 50 maybe but somewhere in there. A new trailer wouldn't hurt either. 2k Subs on YT would spread the word Fast. Almost every day about six new people come online that I or my sister sees and they say "Wow, EW is still alive?" HUGE. ISSUE. People don't all know that EW is back in action i.e. the small playerbase. I don't doubt especially since Darkage is gone and Raidstone is.. well. Whatever it is. (lol) a great many players are probably itching for a siege server, they just need to hear about it.

In my opinion, the size pf the maps made empirewar unique, as well as classes like Brom said before. Maybe we cpuld manage to create a new epicquestz server and redo all ranks. Maybe just add a third active designer (temp). Otherwise, we have to wait till lock rise from da dead and pay for the server to brimg it back.

 

[LimeeFox]

Also what probably has an influence on the player lack, are rage quits. What also could make players no longer go on ew is the lack of big maps. Maybe if we had a big map some players would come back. Id add big maps only playable the weekend, as it is the time when we hit the server player limits, so it is more fun.

I think a new trailer is priority alpha.

And where would that be uploaded? A video showing our current maps with 5k views wont get the server very far.

It's not to "get the server very far" it's to spread the word that Empire War is still alive to all those people that for some reason don't have Enjin or otherwise don't know.

 

[-=Brom=-]

Maps right: Time for more of a suggestion than an opinion, have two map categories that cycle through depending on the amount of players. Big and small. Maybe 16+ deserves the big maps, maybe a map like Morgul or Tirith perhaps as Morgul was big, but not Massive like Tirith was, etc. etc. I think you get my point.

They won't come back "because of the trailer" they'll come because they'll know that Empire War is alive. It almost seems like you didn't read my above posts. *Alot of people don't know EW is back* 2k subs? That'd get the word out. Although if the server is going to grow, that playercap's gotta go up up up.

Most of EQ´s subscribers already know "EW" is back.

You say that, but we still have such an incredibly small active player base atm and Still as I said before "Almost every day about six new people come online that I or my sister sees and they say "Wow, EW is still alive?"" and these are people who I've seen before, not all of them mind you, but a great majority of them for sure. One video, even if it's not a trailer just some sort of big announcement that isn't on Enjin. Get. The word. Out. Empire War is back. With every other noteworthy siege server out of the picture there's a wide pool of people waiting to be called in.
