Runes of Magic US / AU

Give them time they cannot be everywhere.

Chapter V is shortly before the doors and as you all may have noticed, the frequency and appearance of sales offers and diamond sales is currently under re-works.

I am afraid Memorial Day is one of the weekends or better days affected by this, since we are so close to the release of Chapter V. But lets not frown please. Memorial Day should not be about buying and selling stuff anyways but rather about being with loved ones, friends and family and honor those who deserve it. Which will not stop me to grab my (limited) monster summoning tool and a hell-of-a-lot free buff-food and jump from server to server to steal a shy smile from your face. I will also provide rubber bats to hit me with, BUT i will wear a flameproof suit.

Speaking of your summoning tools

Apparently the reset of zones on Osha have caused Owenstein and the Buff NPC's to go MIA

Can you please re-summon them?

Kyaaaaaa I knew there was something. I get on and place the NPC again

Owenstein is placed not manually though so if he is still missing i need to forward this.

Edit: All back in action, including Owenstein.

Thanks again for pointing this out!

Dionaea, I've been reviewing the forum posts for the past few weeks and is this is really the best answer you can come up with for this question yet again? How long are players going to receive nothing but banter and derisive responses to questions that ultimately help us determine if we continue playing this game or not?

Alot of us can actually manage to balance playing this game AND "spend time with our loved ones, family and friends and honor those who deserve it". What we shouldn't have to do is constantly have to ask for diamond sales to be able to afford the items we need to enjoy the game. People on Govinda are spamming daily for diamond sellers but few can be found. Why? Nobody has any diamonds left and they can't justify buying them at "normal" prices because there are simply not enough diamonds for the money. When people can't enjoy the game to the fullest possible, they tend to move on to other games.

Which brings me to another "hot topic" gold sellers/buyers. I wish the management would wake up and realize that their current behavior is actually encouraging gold sellers and gold buyers instead of the opposite. A gold seller will sell 130 million of in game gold for $12US (quoted from a spam in Varanas today). It would cost a player $99 worth of diamonds and the risk of selling them to other players in game for the same return. It's a simple cost-benefit analysis that many players seem to be making based on the amount of spams we receive that buying gold will get players banned. While I don't condone it personally, I can see where people might get tempted. Who really looses? Not the player. If a player gets caught and gets banned they simply move on to another game. The people who lose are the company and the player community.

It's ok I don't like mages either....and you might need to call up Marvel and get a fully body Adamantium suit when you log into Artemis due to the plethora of rogues on the server :p

This is getting suspiciously similiar in nature to the answer we got about Eve Ballusha. You remember her, right? The rune npc who was happy to trade some gear and some gold for random runes?

Granted, this thread is about diamond sales. So I'll try to stick to that topic. There are multiple feedback threads, right now, on the current (mis)-state of the cash shop and about how unsustainable the game is getting due to a lack of them.

And Dio, I think assuming that people have other people they can spend time with on that particular day/weekend is a bit off. There are multiple reasons why a person may choose to play the game instead. For several folks, even in your own recent survey, one of the options was to play the game "for stress relief."

If you've ever had a family member or friend get drunk/upset/lie/otherwise impact your life negatively, you'd understand the need to cool off/take a break from "family/friend o-rama".

Why is humoring us such a difficult concept to understand? If you were to tell us what guidelines the company is supposed to follow as it pertains to the cash shop, it may go a long way towards the community understanding how GameForge/FEU wants to run things. We get that they're a business, and staying in the black (or getting out of the red) is important. But both of those goals can be accomplished without squeezing the clientele out of the game completely.
