Alright let's get serious here---Future of RoM

As of right now, even with the server merge, there is hardly a future for Runes of Magic. Let's just face the facts here. Each server consists of about 25-50 good players that have been around for a long time, and they consist of an even smaller amount that can successfully run instances. This is because 90% of players get to the point when they realize you need to spend a lot more money than they anticipated to be any good at the game. Unless you want to spend 4 years making alts for shells, eojs, and other in-game bonuses.
I recently read a thread based about advertising the game. Where this is a good idea, it wouldn't help because the game isn't f2p. I understand you need to have the item shop around just to make some revenue, but what everyone fails to see is POPULATION IS KEY.
It's a simple concept that is in the back of everyone's mind. If you make the prices lower, then more people play the game. More people play the game means more people buy diamonds. More people buying diamonds means MORE MONEY. And more money eventually leads to a populated, and successful game.
So my question lies this; why is no one doing anything about balancing the game, and making it more fun to play for the general public. If something isn't done the game will eventually be shut down. The server merge is like putting someone in a nursing home. It makes the remainder of their life as comfortable, and drawn out, as possible.

Honestly, after we asked for a mergers or toon transfers for so long even years ago and all they said was IMPOSSIBRU... now that they actually considered and even started working on it seems like they just wanna milk the game for a while longer before it's shut down. At least the US servers >.>

I hear you say IS items are too expensive. Well good sir they maybe too expensive for us but the Germans are more than happy to pay for it. And Gf's main concern is what the Germans want. They are like the first class passengers on a plane and we are the coach.

Word I feel y'all that's why they should really lower prices or do 500% dias more often like back in the day so even with 20$people can get a reasonable amount of dias I just did some calculations the other they and I found out tier 25 would be millions and not low millions high millions. I know no one doing that but still they should really lower prices unless they can afford to lose the us and a few other countries.

No one needs a Tier 25 weapon Warrior lmao but people who complain the game is expensive, there are those that do not spend a dime on the game at all since it is F2P, since it's F2P it means they can be endgame all T10 and +20 statted LOL, it is doable but you better be patient as hell. But that is how they were brought up and everything was given to them on a silver spoon, NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE.

It's just like those things you buy, when it says LIFETIME WARRANTY, read the fine print and you will see it has a clause that says that they will pay a percentage of the replacement costs up to 25 years, but basically after the 5th year you ain't getting much back LOL.

People should take the course in school that is called : REAL LIFE SITUATION AND APPLICATIONS, a lot read the words but cannot read the fine print, same thing applies to ROM.

The merge if it happens, will make servers more populated and we will have more people to play with YIPPIE!!!! but i think they are waiting till then to start advertising it ( I hope ). Cause no one will want to come and play if they see all of us complain that we lost stuff, toons missing etc during the merge. I truly hope they get it right on the first try and meet new interesting people to play with :thumbsup:

Word I know no one needs it but still lol 110mil for a t25 that's crazy I'm just describing how expensive rom can be. It should be achieveable even if it's not necessary lol. But word I hope they start advertising and everything goes well and cut prices in the process so people can stay.

And technically even that isn't free because they are getting dias from people who actually buy them and they would have to been playing game from day one with no type of life and they are end game to even do that and that would be a one time thing because it's impossible to keep doing that unless you start spending money.

Even $110 milion USD wouldn't be close, to tier something to T25 would take 15.7 billion charges (7.8 billion diamonds if on sale). This would be the easy part though, actually making the T25 stones would be more of a problem, at a rate of using 1 charge per second it would take 497 continuous years to make 3 stones.

It would be far cheaper and time effective to just buy out the controlling interest in Gameforge/Ruenwaker and make them send them to you in the mail premade.

Edit: You'd actually save some time and money here because of the level cap increases, after level cap 101 whites should be T6, about 1 year from now. At the current cap increase of 5 levels per year we'd actually have T25 whites in only 76 years. :)

LMAO only gone cost just over 68 million pounds, assuming that the starter clean gears are t5, and charges are purcahsed on a 25 dia for 50 charges sale and the dias are purcahsed on a 150% dia sale. That's ignoring all the price of all the fusion stones and price of clean items.

I'm certain 68m pounds is more than the net worth of GF and RW combined. I mean im pretty sure if you send an email to GF saying you will pay them 10000 pounds off the books then they will just give you that weapon as long as you don't show it to anyone and only use it for that 10 sec of burn when everyone else will be too busy to look at your gear.

I'm sure that one of the Gm's saw this thread and went and made one, just for lolz and to rub into the faces of us mortals. :phatgrin:

All i did was use his numbers and what he said. I didn't fact check since t25 is a tier that is practically impossible.

Word I counted 150% sale and happy hour doing dirty 25 clean 25 would be like 5bil dollars and word off the books would be the best way but back to the point lower prices are make it 150% all the time with happy hour prices

What changed to make it possible? Other than the willingness to work on it. Honestly.

Either way this thread is now discussing price of T25's and will most likely be closed soon so who cares.

fairly sure RW developed a database tool, or some way to easily manipulate RoM's databases, which did not exist previously.

If something could be developed, then it was possible. Inconvenient or a pain in the behind, maybe, but possible. :)

Same thread, different day. Same argument, different day.

What was impossible back then was impossible back then. That's what we were told. We've been over this time and time again.

Closed. no point in arguing how much a tier 25 weapon is going to cost and no point in arguing about how possible or impossible the server merges are or were.
