Runes of Magic US / AU

Just stop plussing. I did ages ago, run around with 28k ub hp, ftw.

Sadly we don't even get daily sales much now, there was talk in May/June if i remember, that we would get new items in the shop blablabla, now December almost here and still nothing.

Darkexodus you are asking for stuff we have all been asking for 4 years now, it has apparently been sent in here last




But nothing came of it and i doubt very much anything will be done either way. We have like 50/60 active players on Mithras, not alts but players. Don't think the PERSON in charge sees much time to be wasted with the game much anymore. Seeing the only sales we get are all rinse and repeat all the time. Very sad.

So what Polog said "now started work on implementing some changes. One of the major advantages of the new shop is that we can make the changes ourselves and put them straight online" and what Celes said " One of its advantages is that we can take care of a lot of things on our own, so in most cases we are not depending on support by Runewaker." only applied to cosmetic changes and not changes to the daily sales and the items IN the shop?

Yes, with the new shop, our shop team can make the configurations with implemented items on daily, weekly (what ever it is) basis and implement them directly without asking any support from the developer, which make us save time for our daily works.

Always wondered how could they make any decision on the item shop, for the players, when they NEVER EVEN PLAYED THE GAME!!!!! and i don't mean install the game, go through start up zone and then uninstall the game, more like level 3 classes to 98 and gear it up to T9 and all +20 and then they might be able to make educated decisions for the players.

I have nothing to do with shop and i do not have major effect on decisions related to IS offers. Yes, as i already said before, i always forward your wishes to the relevant people, explain them why and when its wanted, which group of users asked for that specific item and since how many weeks etc. After that it is up to responsible person to make the plans with our wish lists. To be honest, i am not a shop expert and i can see the statistics of it but the person who is responsible from the shop has all the knowledge both on game and monetization side, and i believe that they do the logical decisions to protect the balance in long term.

Most of the players are not going to invest X amount of dollars on wheel for a low % chance to get a +20 jewel that has a low % chance to success. If the game had the +20 jewels on item shop for a fixed amount of diamonds, people will spend more diamonds, because right now its cheaper to leave your gear at +16.
Also a schedule for item shop sales and promos would be great and you could see less people complaining about sales.
ROM is forgetting about cosmetic stuff, the few cats remaining on server always ask for new costumes, mounts, houses, etc. There are people that really cares on their outfits and stuff. That could increase diamond sales also.
Also we would like GM ingame events, where you can play with them, maybe 3 time a day for a few days, that would increase player activity. Example : GM logs in and call people, then make spawn 10 bosses in a row, after the bosses are dead , everyone gets a reward ( bound ) , something useful any level player like God redemption, Arcane charges, Magic dmg and physical dmg food, maybe 1 day buff, idk.

Polog i know you have no control over anything in the item shop, my post was to be directed to the person who is in charge, because they are clueless, no disrespect for the job you are doing.

This latest farce with the item shop and the wheel is actually pretty sad. The item shop manager might think that gambling your money away with something that has less chance then a casino in Vegas or Monte Carlo is a good idea, it is not. As i said and i will repeat this, he wants to know what it takes to play ROM, have them play the game, level 6 classes to 98 and gear it up to tier 8 and +16. Then they could stop thinking that number crunching is the way to go. And seeing the population dropping every week makes it that less and less players want to play.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee, US side is dying fast. TYVM for that.

I'm all for suggestions but holy cow, bub. Ain't nobody got time for 3x a day. We have day jobs and such.

we got people from different time zones, 3 time a day = every 8 hour, its gonna have a higher impact, GMs could take turns lol idk xD

Imo should just try to make sure a gm is online each server talking with the players, and try to get the cms to actually visit too sometimes, since not everyone reads the forums or visits irc. (Speaking of which, gameforge should totally be advertising their forum and irc using the broadcast system they currently only use for dia sales.. )

GM's for event every 30 days would be fine, if you want to catch one in game, just swear and they will appear!!!!! hahaha i do not advise that!! or do i? hahaha

Gm event is cool and all and I would like to see more with badges be giving out because a lot of us need,more badges.
But Idk if Gm event is enough, people leave due to plussing rates plussing shouldn't fail, some people also quit due to dias prices I see yall trying tho with dias sale every but I believe 200 to 300% would be more helpful but I doubt this will happen.
I also see more happy hour on useful item which is cool it helps.
But than you got to look at activity we need to merge all US servers it is long over due, but I understand it might be a year which is a bad idea seeing how ppl have a finite amount of patience.
What else can help this game is an international ah or internal raid group setting so ppl can do more runs ppl also Quit due to lack of runs this is why another merge would be very helpful.

If you look at other games their prices are less but they're making more money they See the Bigger picture, if something is cheaper more ppl will go there more often.

If yall do these things ppl will come back, stay, and so will new players.

But I also feel like yall know all this stuff already and rather than repair yall rather milk well ppl catch on everyday, and these problems aren't that hard to address and yall could be reaping the benefits of these repairs it's not so risky imo.
But yall going to do what yall want and ppl will leave due to negligence.
Have faith and trust the people on their opinions it will help you out in the long run especially if it's a majority or don't
