Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "effervescent;602261"

100 people buying a crapload of charges, ABLs, normal BLs, drillers, plussers, puris, etc, is going to add up to much, much more than 200 people buying only puris, costumes, and mounts - the latter two of which are permanent and one-time things.

Yet that is EXACTLY what you are asking for. Do you even remember what your initial ideas were? Some people will never get a clue, even when said clue takes a sledgehammer to their head.

Quoted from "timthum;602280"

Ummmmm this game is free to play........

Quoted from "Ziav;602284"

There is no way this KID has been doing the marketing he claims. Nobody can be this dense. All he's doing and has been doing this entire thread is trolling. His original idea was nothing more than a fancy troll post. He's shown it time and time again when nobody agrees with him.

I will say, very successful troll, u got every1 all worked up...

also, yw for bump, fun watching things collide then go boom...like watching a train wreck, in real time...

Quoted from "Borella;602294"

You have no real arguments either.

"They will get more money in the long run by decreasing profits now" is an opinion, not a fact.

"More players buying less is better than few players buying more" Is an opinion, not a fact.

"More players will pay and pay more on costumes and such than they are paying now" Is an opinion, not a fact.

Quoted from "Borella;602296"

No point going through your giant textwalls of crap to find quotes that are the same as the above.

No problem Always fun bumping an idiot.

Quoted from "EsxCape;602308"

I appreciate the general concepts behind the main suggestions...
1. making the gearing cycle easier/cheaper
2. altering/removing the gear binding system
3. creating a guaranteed plusing system (removal of either failures or downgrades or both)
and these are all concepts that have come up at one point or another throughout the history of the game. In the past 3-4 years, which of the suggestions we've read have presented the best way to address these concepts? Well I really couldn't tell you. At this point we know for a fact that of all the suggestions that were ever presented on these topics, regardless of the quality of the suggestions, NONE were ever implemented. It's not exactly an inspiring track record.

BUT, it's not all about Gameforge. I think the staff do pass on what needs to be passed on and they are pretty frank about whether something is or is not. The real wild card is always Runewaker. Nobody here really understands what Runewaker is planning or thinking or doing with this game and half the time we don't know why they change or adjust things (some things that maybe didn't even need to be touched lol). Now throw in the fact that Runewaker most likely has #1 priority on their newest creation and you figure we're really up a creek without a paddle. >_<

I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy towards suggestions because the fact is that there are a lot of good concepts that have been posted in the suggestions section over the years. I do think we do have to be realistic though at this point instead of idealistic. The game has never really been overhauled. The biggest changes I can think of that had to do with Runewaker were Chapter 4 balancing, two patch roll-backs (% MP and the Cast Time issue*), and Owenstein. And frankly speaking, roll-backs and a NPC re-classification aren't really "big changes." I just don't see Runewaker as the kind of developer that goes out of the way to make a design overhaul for the sake of game improvement and history supports that opinion. (If the case is otherwise, let it be known that I'm still 100% behind Midknight129's proposals for Magic Damage calculation overhauls.)

*Note that the two design changes that could be considered overhauls -- the % MP change and the Cast Time adjustments -- were constructed of Runewaker's own initiative and had nothing to do with the community or our feedback. Add to that the fact that those changes had to be rolled back because they were just that bad and it shows us that when RW does make design adjustments, they really have no clue what they're doing.

They would most likely have to be re-presented to be re-considered. Generally once a suggestion thread ends (archived, closed, or buried) and no staff has entered to say they're passing it on or noting the idea then that is the end of it. So if there's an old suggestion you like, you would have to start a new suggestion thread (because you can't necro) and then reference the original thread and probably make a statement about why you want it to be re-considered. Unless the original suggestion thread was closed, then you can't because you're not allowed to re-open closed topics. >,<
