Runes of Magic US / AU

sorry dood, we're not EU, and they don't like NA very much... we're like the red-headed stepchildren of the RoM community. The diamond NPCs haven't been active in like almost 3 years... maybe before that? Chapter 1?

I am sorry, but frogster stated months ago they have no plans of ever activated the diamond exchange NPC's. EU will be the only side that gets them.

And until someone from EU servers says that this changed, the latest that was posted on forum is that people on EU servers barely use them. So, I say this needs to be enabled so we can lay yet another piece of "EU is managed well, US is not" malarkey to rest.

I would've hoped that it died now that EU is managing US side and everyone is extra PMSey, but this would drive the stake into the heart of this once and for all.

i love that quote, very good work you captured us all and summarized it into a well done 1 sentence... (+X; when X>9000)

Thee barely use them because diamond sellers' rates are similar to the NPC in EU. Activate them here at the 20k per diamond and you will alt accounts created just for using them.

While I cant find the direct quote now that our new management team successfully disabled searching, I don't believe that's the case.

And why is this problem now anyway? As predicted during the high inflation at the start of Ch4, the price spike went down big time as people leveled and geared. Diamonds and consumables are half the price they were at their peak, and gear is getting there as well.

And creating accounts to take advantage of NPCs is ill-advised. I done that once when Owenstein was selling golden eggs. I probably would still be slapping myself if I didn't mail my eggs to my main and his pet right away, before they went poof.

Ouch....

I knew they blocked new accounts at the time, but had no idea you've lost some goldens as well...

Lesson learned, create alts before you need them.

Just to add - I would like to see those DIAS NPC as well...

Even if I could only use the diamond NPC's on 1 account, I would gladly do so. Basically, they could make all diamonds bought ungiftable. Of course, that does not stop making them into puri alts, but it would be enough of a restriction to stop some of the multilogging.

But, this entire post is pointless because they will never activate the diamond NPC's.

Actually, in that thread, the EU player said that the NPC was pretty widely used and refuted your statement with actual numbers. Much like yourself, though, I can't seem to find that thread or specific post with the search function since the change to the forums.

I would certainly welcome the diamond npc on the American servers. If it went on unused, no harm no foul. At least the support staff could say they tried.

Found it:

Not really. On the day in question of that post that particular diamond npc was about to hit 8k transactions for that week. That is over 1k transactions per day.

Since last maintenance that server has already done over 1500 transactions and Siochain has done 2000. A lot more than the 150 a day you keep trying to push.

So, how about it GM's? How about getting us some fair treatment? Let's ignore the long term beneficial effects of the diamond to gold NPC and look at the fact that it isn't hurting the EU servers. We have asked for it for a long while and it would certainly be a welcome addition.

@roche1,

Can the amount of transactions be seen on the NPC? Otherwise, 1k per day... doesn't seem right.

I would too like to see the Diamond NPC's reactivated for the US servers. Doing this will stabilize our ingame economy and drive prices for gear and diamonds down to more realistic prices.
Common I want to see a GM or CM comment on this too.

I play both sides of the pond, albeit my main character and time is spent this side , I logged on last night onto Smacht PvP to get my 15 diamonds before maintenance and there were 15,749 transactions left for the week out of a 25k limit. So yes it is used and yes it shows daily/weekly usage/limits when talking to the NPC.

The main complaints I've heard from friends and guildies has generally been directed at the limitations on the trade (was originally 5 dias per day per account) and the cost (20k per). When launched I was paying upto 15k per so the trade npc was looked at badly, since then I now pay upto 30k per so whether connected or not the extra few dia's I can get each day at a stable price is welcomed.

For what it's worth, the Gold NPC is imo largely irrelevant and is hardly used at all, I'd very much like to see Cedric (Dia NPC) over here on the US side but they can keep Agnes (Gold NPC). They would need to be slightly tweaked too if implemented this side as EU Diamonds are not US Diamonds, they cost more but then also buy more, so I'd be looking at say 20 dia's per day per account to be in line with the EU's limit of 15 (although I'd rather both were higher ). In terms of gold, I honestly don't mind, for in game items/diamonds I pay around triple on Indigo compared to Smacht.

+1 Cedric (along with other select absent npc's )

I would like you to fix the issue about the 2 NPC that are suppose to trade gold for diamonds 3 times a day, just like they have on the EU servers.

It works fine there and all. Have you just decided to take them down so you could sell more diamonds?

I would like YOU to quit Q.Qing so much or to go to the EU servers, since you believe they are so much better. Buh bye!


Thx

GM/CM comments would benefit this discussion.

What i really wonder, why are we now different, where everything else is the same between servers. (even sucky sales)

The NPC was never actually activated on the US servers. It was put in game as a sort of "see? we're working on it" with the promise of activation at a later date. They have since sat there, mocking the US servers, doing nothing...especially what they were designed for.

Now that the NPCs have been thoroughly tested on the EU servers with no negative effects, I think it's about time to give it a try on the US side. This is especially true since we now have the EU management team running the show. There is no reason to keep them inactive now. Could we please get them activated?

Roeksha? I know you have to have read this thread by this point. Some feedback would be much appreciated.

plz explain your rationale as to how these NPC's will help the economy?
