Runes of Magic US / AU

Some?? theres a ton of 80+ people that dont have a clue on how to play yet are i totally agree with you cike, they are still classified as new, and probably will be classified as new for a few months after at a minimum.

Theres too much too learn about this game , hell ive been playing for years and still there's times where, i go... wait what? U can do that? or wow i wish i knew that a long time ago etc etc etc. qq qq qq,

/\ that is how I was thinking about it. new is not level, new is time in the game. I would say anything under 3 mos is easily considered new

I think its funny how people think the game is too expensive.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOO EXPENSIVE.

When I played back in chapter 3, a person did the math on how much money it took to get 'endgame' in money costs if you ran the instances yourself. It roughly came out to about $650 dollars and that was back when there were no random atti stones, and +12 was the max you could plus to. If you had to restat an old piece of gear, you had to wipe it clean with cleaner stones that were 199 dias back then.

Think about that, $650 dollars back then, and now, with the current lvl90 plussing jewels being complete crap and it takes almost 30 or more to plus one piece of gear, I bet it's almost $800 or more.

Point is, the game is unbelievably expensive, and with more people leaving the game, and the sales team making perfect plusser stones costing 400 dias or more, this game is just becoming impossible to keep up with the Jones'. Unless your rich, you can't afford to not play the perfect class. Trust me, being p\w and gearing one was stupid. I wasted a ton of money on a class incapable of even doing instances 10 levels below me because I can't do any damage to bosses or mobs.

These are good ideas guys.

I have been reading this post and it is interesting enough to read but I think one fact got left out, I think or I missed it, which is possible.... I feel that there are not enough new players in this game anymore to help each other out, so they expect mid and end game people to do it. I will help anyone, telling them what to do and where to go, how to dirty stat to get by at the lower levels and that sort of thing. However, I won't help these people do regular quests and their dailys. I been there and hate questing myself, and dailies and mini games are boring me to tears these days

I remember when I first started playing this game almost 5 years ago, there were people everywhere. We could make a party of all new palyers to help each other out and get our quests done and our dailys. The new people joining now do not have this because there is not enough of them around. I honestly feel bad for them, they are missing out on all the fun of being a new player and learning the game the way we did. Most are forced to use XP orbs or get power leveled just to get out of the low zones, so that people will help them more. Hope you can understand what I am saying here.

I never spent a penny on this game until I turned Level 55. Since then the amount that I spend have grown outrageously, I have only just recently put myself on a budget and lowered the amount of money I spend here. The game is messed up in my opinion. I mean the items we need such as ABL, Random extractors, + 16 jewels and others are not even readily available and we have to wait and wait for them to appear in IS. I am getting really bored waiting to be honest. I have a toon that has all +12 armor and have been waiting it feels like forever to get her gear to +16 .

So, in my opinion, the problem with ROM is: 1.) there are not enough new players joining to enable them to enjoy the game the way we did when this game came out. 2.) Items required to enhance your game play is not readily available in the IS. 3.) It is to damn expensive to do much of anything which leaves us waiting to either save enough dias or enough gold to get what we need. This turns people off and many will leave.

One other thing I would just like to touch on. When was the last time ROM tried any rebalancing or done anything to shake things up and make ROM interesting again? It has been way to long and the game is becoming soooo boring again , at least for me it is. Basically I sign in, we do World Bosses if they are up, we do SW at night, and that is pretty much it. We don't run instances often because we rarely have everyone on at the same time, which again indicates not enough people are playing this game. I don't even do my dailies or minis half the time because I am so sick of it.....

OK, I will go away now, I have vented and I feel better . Thanks y'all for listening.....

as odd as it may seem for me to say it, glad to see you still around BB

Hello Jada28 aint see u for months
me too, these past 2 months i aint play much , or shall i say, not at all ?

to all
am following this post since first post ( -.- )
i think this game is really too expensive, one very interesting thing, MANY players were " throwing virtual rocks " at me for thinking that.
they were all like, " u crazy , u don t need + 16, we can run it with less , u can farm bag stats and sell " and on and on
i wanna say, yea, i dont need +16 , i can farm bag stats, but am pretty sure themselves have all teh help ( dias, guildies, time , gold) to talk like that
just imo, very rude, not helping at all, and VERY RUDE, and i forgot, most important VERY VERY RUDE and DIRESPECTFUL.

dont mistake intent

i totally agree with people whatever their opinion is who spent more than 300 USD on this game alrdy
totally disagree with people who says this game is not expensive while having all the help needed to not spend at least 300 USD
i personally spent more than 300, was all good when level cap was 70 , and now? having a hard time solo stuff I need and want, and please, dont tell me to farm bag stats or whatever taht cost me 30 days and XXX dias to gain few million gold taht YOURSELF wont do.

wooosh, feel a lil better
