Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "earlyraven;507291"

I've got a few questions about RoM.

1. Population? I'm on Indigo (PVP), lv 13/10 (thought I did play to 20/13 class choice turned out not to be so good, so restarted). I hardly ever see any other players playing. Is that cause there's a low player pool for RoM? or for my server? Or is everyone just is in different (higher lv) areas? As a result of this, I end up just doing quests alone.

Indigo does have a decent population, but you won't see the majority of them questing around, though there are some. Most interaction won't take place till you reach Varanas, and you normally won't be recognized until you reach at LEAST 20/20. You should get yourself into a guild and that's where you'll start finding people. Give us a holler at Knights of Honor when you reach 20/20 and we'll have a space for you. If you don't want to wait, I believe that the guild Arise doesn't have minimum level requirements.

2. Servers... What order did the servers come out in? Ei, oldest to newest list? Which is most populated? Where does Indigo fall w/ respect to server pop?

Artemis is the oldest server, and hence the most populated. Indigo was one of the servers that's been around since before chapter 2, and survived the first and only server merges. I'm not sure which is the older PvP server, Indigo or Grimdal, but in general, the servers that are available have been around for some time. New servers haven't been released in quite a while now.

3. Add ons... Just recently discovered I could use addons, so I downloaded a few from Curse, and I'm wondering what other ones to get? Wowmap, yGather, ClassSwapHelper, and Advanced AuctionHouse are some of my favorite, and ezMailQue and BuyStack are some simple, convenient ones. Which are your favorite/most convenient addons?

You've already picked up a good number of them, I would recommend PBinfo as I've heard it's a good addon. There are a number of others that I've been suggested, but as I play clean (no addons or macros), I'm probably not the best person to answer this question.

4. Searching for add ons that... (if not available, what forum section would be most appropriate to suggest these? My guess is here: http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=312 ?)

Yes, that is where most the addon & macro threads surface.

4.a. Show what item (and quantity) was sold on the Auction, when receiving payment in Mail. Currently it just names the item, but by the time it sells, I've forgotten what stats that item had (ei. did it have free slots? Did it have +dex? + str? ect). Additionally, though not as important, would be nice to receive bid history, (ei, did several players bid on it?), and purchaser name (so as to be able to contact him and offer to sell more of item).

Don't think this is a question, more of a suggestion if anything...

4.b. Manage equip swaps... As a Scout/Druid, I tend to use the same gear for both chars, but there are some gear pieces that need changing. EqSwap sort of meets this need, but it is (1) slow, (2) requires lot of inv. space, and (3) user interface isn't so friendly. What I have in mind: integrate w/ character equipment sheet: add a check-box near each equipment slot--if checked it keeps that equipment when swapping, otherwise it replaces the item w/ what's in the other equip sheet for that slot. This can all be done only requiring one backpack space.... swapping (or keeping) one equipment slot at a time. (Optional: perform the one w/ less operations: either keep current slot and change equip where needed, or transfer "keep me"s to other equipment slot)

The game features a dual-equipment feature that allows you to wear two different sets of armor, without taking up additional bag space. To do this, open up your character window (click "C" in-game) and to the bottom right of your character's picture, you will see a button with a "1" surrounded by circular arrows. Click that to switch to your second set of armor, and click it again to return to your first.

4.c. Auto turn in... If clicking on a completed quest, auto-walks to quest receiver person (or asks if you want to).

A number of quests in the original lands allow you to click on the name of the quest receiver from the log book and if the game can establish a route, it will auto-walk to them. However, in the new areas (everything beginning with Coast of Opportunity) this feature seems to have been disabled, and was instead replaced with a way-point system where you have to move your character to the location of the NPC by following an arrow.

4.d. Fix for pathfinder... lot of times I get message that I "cannot establish route to target." This sometimes occurs even right near the target. Any fix for it?

As I said before, this system was only utilized in the earlier versions of the game, and IMO, I believe it was only meant as a method to help new players learn the questing system. It would be a boring game if your character auto moved to every location without you needing to be at the controls...

4.e. Going along w/ 4.b, something to quickly compare a piece of equip in inventory w/ not only equipped item, but also item in secondary equipment sheet.

Again, simply swap back and forth between gear. Besides, you're a scout/druid... one of your classes uses leather, the other uses cloth, they won't always be using the same gear.

5. Auction / Selling....Equips specifically... I know auction house had a history button, but that doesn't really help me decide on a price to sell equipment (as same equips can have dif. stats). So... how would I determine what price to put my equips at? I'm guessing free slots and/or attributes ((Energy II, Earth II, Stamina I, ect) it has have more of an effect that the actual piece's stat's itself (ei. how useful for making mana stones is it?) So, can anyone tell me how equipment value is determined? and a formula I could potentially use for pricing them? (I'm guessing such formula would be based on equipment teir, available slots, and attributes (ei Energy II, Earth II, Stamina I, Solidity I ect.). Would an equip w/ several attributes be more or less valuable than one w/ just one? I'm guessing less valuable....unless talking about decently upgraded equips... correct? Are equips w/ certain attributes more valuable than those w/ others? (Ei. Stamina I vs Solidity I, or Energy I)?

This is something that I get asked a lot, and really, there is no "general" rule to follow. No formula other than an item with a runeslot would be more valuable than one without, overdura items are more valuable than not. When it comes to pricing items, you will have to spend some time at the auction house and learn the way things operate. As you have said that you have never made it over 20/20, you won't really be able to determine "true value" of items, as that takes time and experience and levels to see. When you look back you'll start to notice that those blues really weren't all that special, and those whites, well, some of those can be pretty nifty. The history button is your best advantage to learning this, as it will show you what the item has sold for in the past, and not what some noob with delusions of riches overpriced it at. Just because there's an item on the auction house selling for an insane amount, doesn't mean that's what it normally sells for. There's a reason it's still there...
