More drops

Could it be possible to make the bosses drop more often like the Monarch drop the rose blade like maybe twice or three times a day. or the hally drops any of them there are so many people on the game and with them only dropping once you have to be on right at drop time to get them. Just a question.

their are enough people that play this game. all threw the day that just making it where the Bosses spawned 2 times a day at different times would make no difference in price at all. But by keeping it as it you insure that no one will get the drops unless they are online right at the time of drop.
What you dont seem to understand is if the drops are Alternated and more frequent by even just one more time a day. The lag is going to get better because not everyone will be rushing to fight the Bosses all at once.
Next for those who dont like Pking that much. It makes it easier to fight a boss get a drop and increases the odds that you can be online when you need to be and not have to run into pkers becase you are unlucky enough to be on at peak. and peak only because that when EVERYONE knows that they must fight to get the drops.
So making them drop one more time a day at different times, that alternate i still think is a good idea.

one of the many problems with this idea is that people seem to think if there was a 2nd boss spawn then they'd get a drop...the only drop any true newer player has a chance to get really is the hally because they could take a pacifist and get lucky....no one would be getting the key to go to the atrium monarch other than the people who already do because of how easy the kill is so you wouldnt get the kill on it..or the drop..i think really you just want more of them in game to drop the prices to make them affordable to you.

first off bone head is I get the drop of the thorn key when its there. next I want the drop exactly for the reasons I said. but I give you credit you actually did help what I was saying by stating that the only hope new people have is the hally. I am not new and can get alot of other drops as a matter of fact I have. I put this up to make the game better. to pull in new people maybe even to bring back some old ones that left.
People eventually get tired of playing games they cant win, there for yes make it a little easier to get some of the prizes. Make it a little easier for someone else to have a chance to get what they want. when the drops were made once every 24 hours there were half the amount of players. So you only needed it to drop half the amount of time. now we have double the players so you need the drops to double so you still get a shot at it.
You know in math when they were teaching you the pie theory.
if a six slice pie can feed 6 people and six more come along you need another pie.

the problem is that these bosses are already hard to kill unless you have a half a dozen alts or so and then you have to be on at the right time it just makes for a worse game espicaly for those who can not detacte half there day or more to traning so you can see how some one like me who has at the moment 1 alt 4 perfect stat thief unfair even with a better then avrage stats I sill couldn't go to a major boss like The General Or TH CG and do any thing not to mention even if I tryed no dout about a million ppl would show up pk me like it was nothing and get every thing they want so what is basicly is happing the game leans more and more to those who have nothing to do but have a bazillion alts and no life they hold the power and will contiune to keep every last thing from the people who don't play that much, honistly can any one tell me they took 1 person down to the CG and killed it by them selfs? no so whats the point of playing this game if u don't have a billion alts? I guess there is none right? and even getting heaps of money requier lots of atls if u want to make any serious money right? not that any of this is gona stop me from playing I still like to play but there is just no place for those who don't have the alts and the time to play nm like it was there life *babble babble babble* I know but its stupid how every one wants this and that and all they do is end up giving more power to the ppl with 30 alts its not fair? am I right or am I wrong?

I've played nightmist for over a year, i've done everything there is that you could possibly do. Yes there are twice the amount of players now, but that doesn't mean that all bosses should drop 2xs a day to suit all the newer players needs. There are a good variety of easy bosses for new players i.e Rel' Thon, Elishra, Mansion Owner and many others already. Those do not require a dozen alts to kill if i remember correctly. No their drops aren't top of the line but when you are new to the game a spider staff means everything. The point is to work your way up, and if you really desire so much to kill the Crystal Giant or the Atrium Monarch at such a low level than you are missing the point of the game completely.
When I started playing this game, items like Spider Gauntlets sold for 1 million gold, and now because of the increase of players their price has dropped to a piddly 260k. I know you say that anyone with 5-6 alts can easily kill most bosses by themselves, but think of how long it took that player to gain those 5-6 Master/Archmaster characters. Thats alot of work!
Even after I aquired my first Archmaster crit I still didn't have any 'rare' items at all. I spent hours upon hours in the sewers killing rats just to buy a halberd. If you are really so pressed for time and can't sacrifice hours to train 5+ characters, do what I did and go to bosses with a group of friends. My first CR was aquired by going to the Crystal Giant with a friend of mine, she took about 7 rangers and I only had 1, yet I still got the ring. Back then those rings sold for about 350k+, nowadays they sell for only 190k, 200k if your lucky because there are sooo many. The only way I could see bosses spawning 2-3 times a day is if their drops were lowered a great deal. So the Demonic General would go from dropping 50% of the time to dropping about 15% of the time (There has to be some type of a drawback, otherwise every player in the game would have every type of boss drop you can think of and nothing would be rare anymore). All in all this would not benefit you any, unless your just looking to put the kills on your profile. The bosses were made strong and their drops made rare for a very good reason.
Basically if you don't have the time to play the game in the way it was meant to play then your at a huge loss. Nightmist is neverending, it's roleplay, you can't beat it. If your looking for a game that hands you items, and is easy to beat than I suggest playing Mario Bros for Nintendo, because this isn't the answer

I think Lich's main problem was that during boss spawn times he is usually at work, so no matter how many archmaster crits he might or might not have, he wouldn't be able to get a boss drop due to his ate up work schedule.
Now that the bosses spawn randomly however, his chance might be a bit increased. I guess we'll see.
