Runes of Magic US / AU

give us something to do, and a lot of us will actually play the game

Both Kashaylan and Hall of Chaos have by now been cleared multiple times by DE guilds. (4 in Chaos so far, the last one just a couple of hours ago.)

And contrary to popular belief, people are actually making use of the Chaos weapons.

Would love one server. It's like im on Indigo all over again atm

I can understand wanting to have the whole playerbase on a single server - but both servers currently do not have any population issue. In fact, on a regular basis there are more players online (no, not AA alts....) concurrently than on the singular pre-merge servers combined. So a comparison of the population to the old state of Indigo is, in my humble opinion, simply laughable.

-----------------

Yes, Bone Peak is still missing and I'd better appear yesterday than tomorrow and in a fixed/working state. Unfortunately, there's this roadblock called DEVELOPER in the way regarding to that. So, it's done when it''s done. Mirrorworld is currently being reworked from scratch as the original version of it that was supposed to be let loose on the players was ...simply boring. Also, it's meant to be mid-game content despite probably needing a high character level (there was intial confusion between "highlevel" and "endgame geared" ... it's not another instance and it's also not meant to be just another minigame. )

The shop will arrive when it's done - but regarding offers (what most people probably interpret into the "new shop" wording) those are still in the hand of the IS manager, the new shop is a global Gameforge project (it was mentioned a while ago by one of our CMs too, I just can't find the post atm) for all their games - the preparations for RoM are pretty much done for all I know (which may not be everything, though) but I think they plan a global rollout of the new system, so it takes time.



In general:
It is not that the instances mentioned above are in a perfect state, or that the Germans do not complain about anything, quite the contrary (just look at the DE section of the EU board) - but unlike a lot of folks I see posting here, they actually go and do something when there is something to do instead of sitting in the forums.


Last but not least, to the OPs question: I currently have no knowledge of plans regarding another US merge to combine the two servers into one. Next on the list is a cleanup of the not merged EU servers after March 01. Whether those cleanups are preparations for more merges there or just cleanups, remains to be seen.

But as a ballpark from just my own educated guesses - IF there were another US merge, then it would happen after more EU merges, which are not announced yet and will logically not happen before the cleanups. So in short, I wouldn't count on it before summer IF it were to happen. But as it currently looks, there are no announced plans for that. Also, given the current population on both servers, it's not really needed either.

no one cares about v.c.

for most the stats are outdated, and why try to acquire a 92 set when we've been 95 so long that we're expecting 97 to pop along any moment.

last i read hall of chaos was bugged.

Meanwhile in germany, almost a dozen endgame guilds are having an amazing time doing 7+ minute boss fights that no US raid will ever see, for no other reason then "because its fun".

And this is why we can't have nice things...

Not to say that they should be delivering instances 7 months late, but I wonder if US would have bothered with the 92 ini even if it wasn't late...

lmao, this guy just seems to get butt hurt over everything.



Relating to what noble said. No one on US region does it because not enough of the end gamers want's to run it purely because its a strat ini. And the few that does want to run it don't want to die a gazillion time running with some random people. But if RW kept up with the content instead of making gigantic delays then people would have forced to run it to get the gear and stat whether they liked it or not, just like they had to with belathis (the last good strat ini imo). I only ran belathis like 3 times back when you needed to clear it to get to lvl 85 zones and loved it. And now doesn't matter how hard I try not enough of decent end gamers wants to run it . And I would run vc as well if enough of decent end gamers wanted to run it. Although my 29k ub hp may not be very ideal for a strat ini, but that's beside the point.
