Daily quest rewards and Mounts

Hear me out before you do anything or say anything~

In the Token shop I noticed a pair of wings (costume item) and that got me thinking well I really like the rental horses and I kind of wish there was a perm version available.

as I do not know if there is or not this spawned the idea of a Perm mount for the token shop.

So what do you guys think about being able to (like with the costume wings) be able to acquire a mount through the Token shop?

I'd support the idea of a low speed mount in there 60% or even 55%, not that it's hard to get the parts for better mounts through mini-games anyhow (30 day mount through Sacillia Steps mini for example) so I don't see the validity of the complaint.

I wouldn't say never, the game is very young it could happen eventually and than your comment becomes nothing but trolling. please do try to keep an open mind about this.

Yes exactly a low speed mount ^ never said you had to see the Validity of it, it doesn't have to make since at all it could just be another perk of the game.

Since when does Runes of Magic give free-to-play players perks?

*hops through the thread and grabs it for her suggestion section of her weekly report*

Now I do not know if we can make this happen and can only forward your idea, but maybe from the mounts you know, you would have suggestions of one or two to put in the token shop as well as your idea of amount of tokens needed?

Now please do not get me wrong, but just being able to play this MMO for free in all content, all classes, all races, is that not a perk by itself? Just saying ^^

I was thinking like something funny in the 10-20% speed increase range like the pack donkey, more fun than functional, idea for price well the wings are what? I was thinking ratio it accordingly. Obviously it would be on the high end requiring thousands of tokens instead of hundreds but I had a few more ideas for things for the token shop.

One of my other ideas was a Planting table that had specializes strange (seeds fertilizer, irrigation water and the like only) and acts like the three pots but only took up one piece of furniture space. but it does require more thinking and I am not really sure about it since the little cabinet in the coin shop has worked just fine for me I was thinking of just suggesting like a shorter version with more storage space in the higher end of tokens required.

I Just thought I would put these out there and In all honesty this NEVER incentive some of the other players sounds more like whining about loyalty rewards instead of having an open mind and talking it over. but that's just me fell free to ignore that comment as I am use to being squelched and having my ideas jacked by people being all fussy and its never gonna happen riling up people that think its a good idea or scarring away people who else wise have good ideas to add to it.

it isn't about giving people playing free perks, its to reward loyal players perks as you can only earn 100 tokens a day max by setting it at something like 30K that's a month of straight play if they are doing only daily quests.

That's a very CRUEL thing to say about a rewards system for loyal players who cant afford or don't have the means to get diamonds. This brings up another vital question DOES runes of magic Have or use Prepaied cards?

No, that makes it a normal free-to-play game. Rubies were perks for paying players, but those got nerfed. When a game doesn't even give paying players, who actually keep the game running, so-called perks, it's hard to believe that the company running the game would give any perks whatsoever to free players.

Such as a diamond NPC, which EU has, and we still don't.

If something like this were to happen, however, I would agree with the other poster that it shouldn't be anything above 55-60% speed. ATH horses are extremely easy to get once you can run it...I've got enough mats on one of my characters to give me 7 or so months of permanent mounts, not including the one I just started yesterday. As for what types of mounts, I would say nothing too extravagant -- leave mounts like the hippogriffs/flame/star/new manticores that I can't remember the name of, etc, to paying players.

Also, good luck getting a mount with 30k tokens if you ever plan on gearing up. Your daily gain really isn't much with minigames.

Exactly; nothing extravagant just a little something to say ya we appreciated you enough to offer this. They have a set of wings in there for 3k why not a simple mount.

I agree 50%+ increase is too high for token shop mount concepts; to be honest I believe even 40%+ is pushing the idea I think at max it should be 30% increase if upgrade able.

They have allot of pretty good things in the token shop, part of the problem is the item description is a little vague on most of them and In all honesty could use a little cleaning up. but that also gets into the ascetic bug and problems. That reminds me if the development staff is looking and I know its being a little bitchy but could you guys PLEASE do something about that Weapons holding thing?

You should push for Score For More...EU has it, we don't. That's the rewards program whatever for how many hours you play on RoM (works only for one character for each acct though, not all your characters).

The whole idea is to help ROM get better by talking about these things, saying NEVER gonna happen and just closing any argument or topic of conversation in such a brutal and closed minded forum will never help ROM make a name for its self, ROM got pushed off as a WOW clone but having been playing it and looked into it I can say that WOW clone is like saying NEVER its a closed minded mindset that does NOT belong in the MMO world.

Rom is a wonderful game and even if they don't add the mount to the token shop that's ok with me The whole point is to get people talking about things that would Make great add on's to the token shop, things ROM can add to allow players to experience the full aspects of the game without the limitation of RL class or income. I have to find a part time job here already on top of my Contracts for Comics that I have to complete, In fact tomorrow I have a fallen branch to clear out and a garden to weed.

My rosebush needs pruning and the vegetable garden has dead pepper plants that need to be disposed of.

There are three types of game cards that can be purchased and redeemed for diamonds:

Runes of Magic-branded game cards These can be found at Target, Walmart, and Walgreens stores

Zeevex cards

Ultimate Game Cards (UGC)

Zeevex and UGC cards can be found at GameStop and some other game stores. Zeevex cards can also be found and some or most 7-11 stores. UGC codes can also be purchased online through PlaySpan Marketplace.

Having said all of that, please do not acquire a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard "credit card". The Moneybookers system doesn't recognize pre-paid cards, so they won't work. Otherwise, regular Visa/Mastercard credit cards and PayPal can be used to purchase diamonds.
