In order to stay competitive in 2012 Frogster should consider re-touching this wonderful game.
But before I give out arguments why, lets look at what runes of magic has to offer.
Runes Of Magic features :
There's too many features, I don't even think i can name them all but;
- Awesome crafting system.
- Houses, maids, furnitures and related bonuses.
- Gearing system (Tons of ways to get gear).
- Skills and classes becoming more balanced. (Great effort done by Devs)
- Minigames.
- Tons of quests, instances, world instances and world bosses.
- Extendable environment (New content added regularly)
- Equipment (Aggregation), character and mount customization.
- Humongous open world to explore.
- Game is still challenging even at end-game.
- Seasonal events with nice prizes, in-game/forums/facebook contests.
- Free to play. (It is possible to get at top ranks without paying a single dollar, even if it is time consuming).
- Awesome siege pvp concept (excluding the lag and the crash, but i'll get onto that later).
- Pvp arena and mini-games.
- Tradable in-game currency with premium currency (may have some risks depending on situation)
- Item shop offers alot of items. (Some may say it's pay to win to some point, but I have seen ALOT worse (scarlet legacy)).
I could keep on going but that's all I can think of now and anyways I do want to get to the point of this thread.
In so far, having exprience many different mmorpg (massively multiplayed rage producing geeks), ROM has the most and best features that any games offers.
Now the reason why I quit ROM hence the cons :
- CRASHES!!!!!!
- crashes
- crashes
and
- critical error, um crash...
Not just in siege but everywhere, all the times, about 30-40 times a day when I used to play.
There are tons of threads related to game crash or critical errors on the forums, therefore this issue obviously can't and isn't being ignored as per some CM says they are investigating what is causing the crashes.
Being a former technical support for a major ISP, when 2 or more clients have the same issue repeatedly in the same conditions, investigation on our side was required, e.g. 2 customers nearby had internet shortage at the same time, the node was malfunctionning and we had to send a repair technician.
Hence the cause of the crashes is in the game itself. Now knowing what are the conditions in order for the game to crash is mostly when the game has to many objects to load at same time, and or peaks when the amount of players reaches critical point in the same area.
This happens to every one of us, even if you have the Intel I9834774 core with 1973918391783 cores and 1028019809 gigs of ram with the latest ZTX 23213 supercooled at 2 degree kelvin display device using drivers dated from the year 2056.
So it seems more a massive compatibility issue from the ENGINE, or graphic engine more likely.
It is not impossible for a game to renew the graphic engine as some other games done it quite well actually (Aion, entropia universe)
The
cry engine 2 was used to enhance the graphical textures and rendering. Less lag because the engine is to be more compatible for different platforms, hence different pc setups as well. Transition is possible to be done in a timely manner as it was done already by other games. This would also fix all the crashing issue every is experiencing.
Given all ROM's features has to give and add the CRYTEK engine, this game could be potentially the best 1 ever.
Hopefully this message doesn't fall on deaf ears, or in this case, blind eyes... Because I just hope for the best
Cheers!
