Runes of Magic US / AU

I would like to suggest some for of central communication form for in game communication. I know reni has people online often but I tend to stick to their own guilds or circle of friends and don't extend beyond that. There needs to be some form of communication that is available to everyone right from the start that is shared by everyone and can't be avoided so people can communicate better. There are new people that join the game but join guilds that have no idea what they are doing and teach them improperly or that are small and thus give them a bad idea of the game.

My vote is to eliminate the use of megaphones for world. It gives a bad impression when people join the game and they see no people and absolute silence. If everyone can use world chat they can talk to one another ,get to know one another and help each other out and ask for help. I know I would feel awkward asking for help in a absolutely quiet place if I was new and didn't know anyone.


And while yes I am aware and Valgard I beseech you to forward this bit of common sense from a business major student, that gameforge probably makes a lot of money off of mega's but they are also merging the Usa servers because of a small population problem. People even if they join they may see absolute silence and no one in the lower levels and no one to ask questions to and log off and never play. They could remove the need for megaphones to use in world and people could talk without that need. New people could join the game and see life and think "hey this game has a lot of life it must be pretty fun to play". Also remind them they are a business they don't have to be fair if population is fine on the EU and such leave it there for buying. Let them know my exact words.

There is a difference between the 2. Gm's can't interfear in a private channel they can in world chat someone starts something they silence them. Gm's cannot do anything to anything said in private channels the same cannot be said in world chat thats why if someone is silenced in everything guild/say/zone/world ect they can still talk in the private channels. I took that in to consideration when proposing this idea any other complains cike


Your idea isn't to bad either rogue but I don't think it would be as effective. Even if people are arguing people will see life and think there is a population to the game. The idea is to make and keep any new players and have a form of communication available to all and again Gm's can't do anything with private channels.

OK mainly what I am saying is remove the need to require megaphones to talk in world. I guess I wasn't simple enough. Everyone can see into world at all times but they cannot speak without mega's. If they cannot speak they are more than likely not going to pay any attention to it.

I misspoke originally forgive me I have been feeling Ill lately and have a headache.

I suppose that could work but my main issue with that is I don't trust Runewaker not to break something with that hence why I suggested something simple. Also drama or not isn't the point the point is to make servers look more populated the drama can be dealt with and would actually be good for my point of making it look alive. Drama happens in world chat anyway or regardless of trade channels and world fights I would know more than most........
The point is to give an easy option to make it "look" like there are people in and effort to keep any new people. As I said a new person joins sees absolute silence and no one in zone thinks game is dead and never logs on toon again. New players may not ever even consider existence of forum...which is a good thing for population as well for US servers anyway. Drama will look like life which can work and besides that its not like Gm's are the only ones that can defuse a fight people can calm others down if they know how and what to say its not like its always there.

And with the join automatically for new players.....well we all know how runewaker does things I don't trust them with something that's not simple.
