Has the game improved?

Beginner

Hi,

Its been a while since Ive played RoM and I want to get back into the game.

I have a few questions though?

My main reason for quitting was because after reaching level 10, I was bored having to level up another character to level 10. Especially if you pick a priest as a secondary, its the longest thing to do!

Did the devs make it better so it doesnt feel like you're doing double the work when you're working on your secondary? Sometime I wished your secondary leveled up with your main so you didnt have to relevel constantly.

My other questions:

Has the game improved as a whole compared to how it was a year ago?
Is it still cash shop dependent?

Thanks for all your responses!

Chapter 4 saw the release of Coast of Opportunity/Xaviera, with vastly increased xp and tp rates through quests. Getting a toon to 50/50 is easy, going past that is where you have to gear up, which is the hard part.

My other questions:

Well. Let me think. We've had broken housekeepers, house chests, broken mailboxes and auction houses, a broken quest map, quest npc's vanishing, the removal of the rune vendor and Owenstein (who gave out CS items for stacks of hunters' traps), siege war was so badly broken for a month that almost nobody could play, multiple server resets and a rollback or two, and right now accounts are getting broken into and stolen left and right across all servers. Customer support has, by most accounts, gone sharply downhill since Gameforget took over. Granted some of these things got fixed within a reasonable amount of time, but most took a few weeks or more.

Is it still cash shop dependent?

Yes, and right now there seems to be every indication that diamond prices are going to continue to rise.

Bored at level 10 on one side? Even a year ago that should have only been a couple hours play.

I don't know what improvement could help with that because you will need to get level 20/20 on both sides before you get to the easy mode levelling at the Coast of Opportunity.

I guess you could find someone to open a portal to get you there earlier.

When I played in your secondary character starting zone it took a while to get to level 10 and even longer to get to 20.

Can you explain more about the easy mode leveling please?

Newish zone called Coast of Opportunity. You will get a portal spell to get there at level 20/20, the area provides easy mobs & quests that give way to much xp way to easily. It is possible to get someone to port you there at a lower level.

That sounds pretty cool.

So last question, in your opinion, which side is more fun, the human or elfs?

You can go to CoO at level 10. (you can go there at level 1... but you might have some trouble coming back...). Just make sure you register at Varanas Snoop, then press K (default), and the Heffner transport will be on the second page.

Leveling my secondary class on alt in CoO atm.

So CoO is the new, best place to level your secondary correct?

Lvl 15/15 should take less then 30 minutes. Don't quest but instead just kill monsters 4-6 lvls above your own level. If your on Reni I can give you a hand. Realistically the game gets boring until lvl 50 but once you hit Dalanias things become a lot of fun.

So I ignore ALL quest till I reach 15 for both my main and secondary? Also, how long does it take to get to level 50?

Yes, ignore all the starter quests you get more points just killing mobs. You can lvl 15/15 fast. If you want me to help you to 25/25 and you want to start on the Reni server then I can Plvl you

. Anyways you will have plenty of quests with start in Varnasas and Silverfall once you get to a high level. You will notice that just killing mobs just is not enough. Also remember to do your Daily quests. These are a MUST since you get 10 a day every single day you play.
