Earning Diamonds

I don't know why this is like the only game where you can't earn in-game currencies for those who can't pay for them. A lot of MMO's now you can earn In-game currrencies by watching video ads, doing surveys,offers, and even just visiting a link. And the People who make money off thier MMO's ,gets paid by these companies. So both the consumers and the entrepreneur benefits. So I HIGHLY suggest this be created.

it does exist btw, instead of complaining of what the game doesn't have, do some research ;-)

Surveys are available, i HIGHLY suggest you look into that.

Also by this being your first post, try to make friend with the CM's, they are here to help ;-)

There used to be ways to get free dias, but players called them scam-y, so the practice was stopped.

You had to fill out questionnaires and stuff..

I've done those supposed surveys for buyable currencies in other games. Most of the time, never got my reward, and had my mail spammed to hell from those companies, so no thanks.

You can buy diamonds from other players. To me, thats enough, and way more reliable, as well as less time consuming.

There were several places that offered diamonds for taking surveys. However, after you filled out the surveys the diamonds never appeared and some of the people complained that the information they had given out in the surveys had been misused. No matter how often the people filled out the surveys and met all the requirements no diamonds were given. A couple of players claimed to have gotten them but people wondered if they were just shills for a phishing operation to get info about people.. After the forums were flooded with complaints and then Frogster could do nothing because they were 3rd party groups not under Frogster's control they just ended the practice. It was a dangerous practice that blew up in many peoples faces.

Yeah that's true about people filling out surveys and not getting thier reward. But I also play IMVU and the surveys and video ads actually really do pay you. the offers don't though. like I made 6,000 credits for doing the surveys and their 1200 a piece. And if you did an offer and your reward wasn't here you can report it. And all the surveys are just about anything to help their bussines really, like automotive, beauty, food and so on. The never ask for personal information. I also got in-game currencies from Allods Online and theirs take about 15mins to get through and not all of them come through. So I think it just depends on what types of surveys and other offers they allow to put on their site for consumers. They need to do a site check for each one to make sure it doesn't have a bad rep and its safe.

The company doesn't have enough staff to fix the problems, what fix should they stop working on to do a site check, Everything is nice to do but resources are limited and for each thing done another must remain undone.

Wrong. They do work. I haven't logged in in quite a while, so I don't know if the surveys are still available here, but they definitely do work. I've personally gotten a lot of diamonds from them. It's not reliable enough to have a steady supply, but for making some quickly for a short sale, it works.

It's a shady company for sure, as the "free offers" section is mostly full of crap and/or things that will spam your email or phone if you're stupid enough to give them the real thing, but the surveys (note: different from "free offers") do work. As others said though, often it's more worthwhile to just buy diamonds from other players. If you're lucky, you can get hundreds of diamonds from surveys. If you're unlucky, though, you get little to nothing. They're a gamble.



Oh, and if this program is still active, if anyone attempts these, DO NOT do any of the "free offers" that require downloads. Some of the ones that require you to just sign up on a site are legit, albeit annoying, but most free offers are bull. My boyfriend downloaded one of those games out of curiosity once on a virtual drive, and it was so full of malware from that one download that if it had been the real hard drive, it would have completely trashed it. Don't trust downloads from those. Strangely enough, he did get the diamonds (think it was a couple hundred) for that download...but kind of pointless if your computer dies, heh.


Also, RoM isn't the only game to use this scammy company. I've seen quite a few games that use them or companies like them, and they're all just as frustrating.

Yeah your right Aardvark3, their isn't enough resources to do all that. I guess I'll just figure out how I'm ganna make like millions of coins to buy those expensive behind diamonds on the auction house lol. And wow Effervescent about your friend,He should of had a Anti-virus program to prevent that. Some anti-virus programs actually scan the download before continuing to download. And he still got the reward lol? So it's like I'll give you these diamonds if you let me wreck your computer lol. But yeah can you give me the link to the site were you said it works? All I want really from the item shop is one mount and a few drillers so I'm ok with getting a small amount of diamonds its all I really need.
