Ok insert info you remember here please:

Chapter IV FA :

Got 3X XP/TP event for a week
250% diamonds with 450% for 15 minutes and we all remember what happened
Got 3 pages of awesome special sales

Chapter V FEU

100% XP for dwarves only in beginner zone
150% TP for all everywhere
Crafting potions as the special

I think something got lost in translation or is it just me?

Also any Knights out there that can tell me if they nerfed our Whirlwind shield skill

EU never gave xp events like FA did. We were spoiled compared to them in that regard. As well as abl's and plussing jewels always in AH. No matter how hard the qq, we are now eu minus diamond vendors and loyalty programs.

plussers from 6-12 were not always in item shop. well i take that back. in chap 3 they were special similar to the way +13-16 gems are. only on sales and in bundles. and abl's all the time were just added towards the end of fa's days. they used to be promo items only. so yea, fa rolled out chapter 4 with a bang. for sure. with minor glitches.

feu rolled out chapter 5 with a gasp for air. i hope they get their bearing and someone who understands the us market and its differences. sorry feu, thats just how we roll over here.

Comparatively it's not even close.

However, thanks to the 3x's xp (although I recall it being 5x's xp...but that could have been another time) I also remember there being a ton of level 65 noobs going "What's this skill for>" *smacks rock with staff* That was very very bad.

the 3x xp was for their 3 yr anniversary of the games start i thought. the 5x was chap 4 release. and loll, yea there were and still are lot of players that speed leveled during those kind of events that still cannot play their main class. most of them made many alts and twinked them with dod stats because that was as far as they progressed.

Yeah there you go, I couldn't remember when they had it.
Someone put it eloquently in another post...basically that he started way back in chapter 1 and has stayed with the same character since. He has a couple friends who started in chapter 4 who way outgear him now because they spent a ton of money. Regardless, he still out-dps's them because he knows 100% how to play his class to full potential and they don't. Proof that gear doesn't make you a better player, it just helps mask that you suck.

Sigh... 5x XP/TP and the 425% diamond fiasco were not chapter release, they were birthday promotions. I dont recall what XP/TP bonuses leading to chapter release where, but I do remember lots of whining and gnashing of teeth about how awful it was that *after* chapter release, there were no XP/TP events for a while.

It helps, when doing historical comparisons, not to invent the history wholesale. Actual history is illustrative enough without having to pull it out of ... you know where.

Yeah, the 5x xp and diamond thing was for the 3rd anniversary and in ch3 (the hot daily at the time was rescuing prisoners near WA, or buying up lots of bymorsh dailies. The only time I remember 3x xp in ch4 was because Swag was leaving.

Yeah I do wonder why we don't get the diamond vendors and loyalty programs even though EU does. Since they are trying to make us more and more like EU, doesn't it make sense that they implement this for us as well?

http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/news,id217…chapter_iv.html That was the Sale before Chapter IV was released.
Also Triple XP and TP weekend before the release of Chapter IV was made possible because of the 20,000 likes on Facebook.
They also did A lot of balancing as well, especially with scouts.

everyone is a "noob" when they start running instances, no matter if you ran around killing mobs for over a year or 2 or been playing a week. you still have to be taught how and when to use your skills in instances and boss fights. frankly i think ppl need to stop crying about ppl who have jobs and cant spend all day on the game "learning" how to 1 shot world trash mobs cause some how you think that way of playing transferees to boss fights in stances...... imo
