There is nothing I can do to stay hidden. Every time I think I have found a way, something pops up I was unaware of that gives me away. First it was my skill to lie. Then it was that I let someone wrap my wounds. There is no way I can stay hidden. I need to find a way to earn the surfacer's respect, so I might be accepted and not shunned.

    I am loved by no one. Not my kin, not the surfacers... No one. I was tortured by two of my kin, over the petty question of why I was on the surface. They had obviously been fighting for a long time, and there reflexes were keen. I was unable to do anything as I was tortured, but I had to break, or die a long, painful death. I have no fear of death, but dying from loss off blood or infection of the multiple wounds that were inflicted upon me is not in my best interests. I also payed a visit to my kin... at home. I and a party of surfacers found the entrance to my home, on the continent of Dregar. I got to diamonds from it, and only the beginning of the revenge I will extract on them for banning me from my homeland. My skills with my saber is growing, and I am gaining much skill. I have met one gnome, by the name of Melodious. She was accepting of my kin, and I feel that I can trust her. But I have met numerous people who got close to slaying me on sight. Yet I survive... Despite so many people's doubt, I am still alive.

One thing that makes a lot of people leave the server is that there is a level spree from 1-7, and after that it slows down dramatically. Maybe make it a more gradual slowdown, because if you look on Lore and find all of those abandoned characters whose players haven't played in a year +, they are mostly right around level 7.

I took a little look around Cord's new neighborhood. Well, about the forest around her house. It would appear that she doesn't have the greatest of neighbors. I found some bloodthirsty orcs around a hole. Inside the hole, there was a black dragon. I don't know if that is quite optimal for a neighbor. I need to start patching up her walls, make some sort of barrier between her and them, and her and the elements. I drew out some ideas, so that I don't forget anything. The supports have to be changed, for sure. I was able to shake the whole house. I thought about putting walls in with a layer of thick wood siding, to keep out the water, and then some sort of mix of clay and mud and pine needles formed into bricks, and then some thin wood walls on the inside. It will take a lot of time, though, and I don't want to start yet, because I get a feeling that Cord likes the place to be sort of... leaky... and I wouldn't want to ruin something that she likes.

Maybe when you complete a quest, the NPC could refer you to a few more, like "My friend in the craft hall needs help with some bugs she found in her cellar" if you complete the crypt quest in Center, to keep newer characters knowing about quests.

Cord got a little cabin out in the woods. Its a long ways to a town, not far from the Broken Halls. She gave me a key to it, since the roof leaks and the wood is full of termites and I need to do some repairs. It has potential, though. Potential and personality.

I don't know how, but maybe its time to start a poll thread on why we came here and another on why we stayed? Or just a normal thread for JUST those to things, rather than everyone's ideas on how to improve so it's easier for the GM team to sort it out?

jadewillow makes a great point.

The bounty board was a great quest for casual players, you could log on at any time and role play and have a quick adventure, with or without a GM or party. Prehaps do something with the plot like that, set it up and then let an adventurer go through the adventure and make an impact, even if he/she cant find a party. It would keep people feeling involved, even if they play in a time zone where not many people are on with them.

Maybe we need to start thinking back to how we found Layo, and what kept us hooked, and then try to resurface those more if they have dissipated and maybe make more of it if it is still around. There is a great community here, but why do we stay? For many of us, it is the love of our characters. But maybe it's time to think back to when we first joined, and what made us like it.

When I first joined I was only 9, and I mainly enjoyed playing with my dad, Merlin34. That may not be the greatest of examples, but its all I have. But each and every active player has one of those examples, and that's a fair enough sample size to make an assumption on what people are looking for, and focus something onto that in game or on the forums or elsewhere.

Maybe there could be more quests based around one or two people, rather than parties, since the whole thing this thread is about is the fact that there aren't enough people to make a big party with on the server at one time normally. Or maybe some solo quests made more about role play and roles, like persuade checks and bluff checks, since mostly the quests are easier for fighters, and a bard or wizard without a party can't do much. And it would give newer players more taste for the role play.

Maybe the players need to start spreading the word. I know that I started playing Layo when Merlin34 told me about it. Maybe if the topic of games comes up between a player and one of his friends, they could mention Layo. And if that person tries it and enjoys it, he would tell one of his friends, ect.

Just a cheap, simple way to advertise the world.

And prehaps give new members a starting up quest, just a little impromptu, that they won't forget, give them a little push towards loving the great story of Layo.

Maybe there would be a different spawn for a certain level group that would have the spawn with the item, so that the difficulty of getting the item is high for the people who can get the correct spawn to get the item. Therefor, if someone tried farming the item with a higher level character to get easy gold, they would not get any special item so the number of them in circulation would remain lower.

Maybe there would be a way to make some of the drops there more randomized, like a chance of either electric or fire or no elemental, and a chance of 2, 1d4, and 1d6 damage on those damages, so they would be more random and not be mass amounts of those items?

It has been far to long since I last saw Cord. Things have been keeping me tied up, and i have not had time to visit her. I could write to her, but she cannot read. I need to find time to see her, life without her songs is dull and colorless. With any luck I will be able to find time to see her within the week. I find myself thinking of her more and more as the time goes on, and I would give anything to hear her voice. I hope she is okay, I worry sometimes that the "Dark Masters" could try to come out of whatever slimy pit they hide in.
