Some Request for Future patches...

I've been play RoM for a couple years now, and there are three things that players (including me) would really like to see in up coming updates.

One of the main question I get from new players, "Is there a way to change your character's name?" I think it would be a great idea to sell Name Change Tickets as an Item shop item. Some players name their character thinking of how they want to be, only to find their character has morphed into something out of the realm and unfitting of the the name. For Instance, a character my start their life with a name like "Shadowbreed" (sorry just using you as an example). He may have started his life as a Rogue/Scout, but through what ever means has developped into a Mage/Druid. Now the name no longer fits the Character. It would also give RoM something new in the item shop.

Another issue I've noticed higher end player running into, Superior XP and TP charms are out dated. The 100,000 tp from a Talent Orb is only like .1% of a level 65+ spell/skill. I would offer an Elite XP and TP charm that at least offers 10x as much reward, BUT make it so that only characters level 65+ can use them. This would prevent people from power leveling on xp/tp orbs.

Just a couple thoughts my friends and I have been talking about.

Name change, imho, isn't a good idea. Not with scamming and ninja'ing so possible. Though on the surface it is a good idea (for the reasons you have listed) I think the negative sides of this just outweigh the benefits.

@the comment about XP/TP charms.

I have seen Charms that are 10m & 1m TP on the database. I guess we have to wait until they decide to release them.

It would be nice to have those.

Well, we have websites that track scammer. Plus, they would have to buy the name change tickets with real money. At least their art would cost them money. Also, their is really nothing stopping the scammer from creating new character, so a name change ticket really would not effect them.

Yes but if the scammer creates a new toon then they have lost everything they put into the old one, that is at least something. With name change they don't lose anything.

And if it costs them real money, they have cost others more.

And that doesn't even take into account the fact that they could just scam other people's diamonds or gold to get the item anyway.

And forgive me for being pedantic, but you said three things, but I only see two?

For genuine name change you could always ask Support, though you'd need a really good reason to have it changed.

Just giving my opinion, that is all. I just kind of feel that if you chose a name you didn't like or changed a toon's direction to something that you feel the name doesn't fit you just have to suck it up, otherwise people with awful reputations (however earned) have a permanent "vanish" something that is not really good in a social game as this.

But as I say I am just giving my opinion. Is disagreeing with suggestions against the rules or something? No one ever agrees with mine. Though that may have something to do with my twisted thought processes.

Afternoon folks,

Thank you for taking an interest in Runes of Magic. Unfortunately we are experiencing a higher than no...

No wait, that's the wrong macro response. What I meant to say, was that we're already working on addressing those two issues (for realsies.)

Unfortunately, you guessed it, I can't give you any more detailed information at this time. Some of you may have brushed up against some interesting information already, however for now you'll just have to wait. So really all I came to say was "We hear you."

Sorry to be so cryptic, but eyes forward.

O.o how expensive would those be? Eesh....

Wouldn't mind winning one at a random event though ;).

Ya know what else would be cool? XP/TP charms. I'm talking about a single charm that stored up both XP AND TP. That would help take the sting out of 3rd (and possibly someday even 4th) class leveling.
