A hint, not really they just are telling you they have lots of diamonds, at normal price. No diamond sales sorry for all those hoping.

It is quite odd. Cuz the happy hour special is 50% off megas, and it says that they'd have more diamonds by the happy hour special...who knows what they meant. Or they probably forgot about it, like the whole warden fiasco.

Ida know...It sounds to me like they were going to have a diamonds sale. But decided....naaaaaaaw. lol I don't mean to sound like a party pooper... But check this...

1. We get constellation pets... They are fail. Only give +2 points instead of their 2%. Same for legendary. the other stats and stuff work (as far as I know), but still... I won't be making another constellation pet.

2. They nerf Wardens and then say they will fix it. But instead update the webpage and other crap. Which being in the U.S., everytime I go to their page or forum it sends to be the german page. FAIL!

3. Annelia's Wings on facebook. LoL... I don't even wanna go there. It works just like the game. It doesn't. I didn't get a code and when I click it, it pretty much just laughs at me. Another webpage loads and then closes within a few seconds. FAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIL.

4. Seige War - No rewards. Sick of that too. I don't care if it's a beta. This beta is attached to a game that's not in beta. With Non-Beta Rewards. Which are non-beta titles that I can't seem to attain because I can't get any rewards. Nothing better then wasting crazy amounts of pots to get left with a sore arse and nothing to show for it.

Has it occurred to you Runewaker that maybe it might be in your best interested to TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST and when you think you have tested enough...TEST SOME MORE! This way the bugs can be out of it before you release something. There is no hurry to finishing this game. Most of us just want a game that works...not a game that has bugs or miss leading sales. Ya'll could have just NOT PUT anything about the diamonds being built up and all of us would have been cool with that. It's like your purposefully trying to waste your time with players complaints then actually fixing them. You can reduce the number of complaints and flame posts on the forum if a little more attention to detail is used.
I personally don't care about a diamond sale. I'm not buying them anymore. Frogster, Runewaker, and Gameforge doesn't deserve it until they can prove they earned it. Fix the problems, fix the bugs, fix wardens now that you broke em, and stop lying to community. Just say what you need to say. No added lines of "hey we have a whole bunch of diamonds - keep an eye out on Sunday blah blah blah". It just makes us not trust you. Just saying. Trying to help, and trying to stay playing this game. But I'm getting such a headache from all the headaches they are creating.

Ya know, I didn't see ANYTHING at all worth stopping by my favorite shop for during happy hour. Cut the rhetoric from any more announcements regarding diamonds or sales please, nobody appreciates it.

bottom of the page, they stated there would be a happy hour sale, and seemed to hint at some kind of diamond sale.

You know if you didnt point this kobold thing I never would have read that bulletin, true story.

No It doesn't say a sale. But It does hit at it. Why would you even place such a thing in your bulletin when it doesn't pertain to megaphones? Cause that's what the happy hour sale is. Like I said above. I really could care less if they do a sale or not. That's not why I posted. It's the point of hinting at something and then not doing anything. They could have totally just not put that at all. They are too busy hyping this or that. Like, "we goofed up your warden but we will fix it with next patch". Which next patch? The patch with the new web page and forum? Or maybe this one? Or possible the next. It's hard to trust a company that lies/fib's. That's really what I was getting at. Stop the little games and small print. Say it likes it is. Don't hint at something that people can take out of context.
I would like this game to last. I really would. But there needs to be some serious things done to keep us (the players) playing. I enjoy kickin arse and takin names in SW (when it works). Or meeting the people I meet. The people in my guild and the people I meet in-game are amazing! If it wasn't for the people in my guild I prolly would have quit awhile ago. Love you all! But something needs to be done to keep this game moving into the future. Being bug free and keeping it real would be a good place to start.
Non of this "Stop by your favourite shop for Happy Hour on Sunday to check out our daily special &#8211; the industrious kobolds will surely have mined lots of Diamonds by then&#8230;" Cause it's mis-leading. Now I'm done. I didn't mean for it to sound like a flame or a troll. Just pointing out things that just shouldn't happen. <3 You all. Just wish they would stop playing around with us.

As per a business stand point, i was really not expecting a diamond sale at all this weekend. They've put the 3 most wanted items in game on sale. They were sure to sell diamonds at full price since people just wanted those. That is why when diamonds are at 50% or 100% i sit my arse on them till the said sale. It's called patience, people are so incline to sell their diamonds when they are on sale and get gold, but gold for what?? gear, stats etc. Come do your quests, dailies, minigames and enjoy the game. Get your own gear, sure if you wanna be endgame within a month, then spent 500$ to 1K of real money to be level 72/72 but you still won't have the TP for your skills you need and know how to play them.

Double diamonds will show up on small sales or expensive X or VIII runes. I made 200M a couple months ago by selling diamonds i bought at 100%, that i've kept for months, before selling them at 50K per. be patient with your diamonds and especially rubies. Rubies are even more rare than diamonds, the only way to get them by buying stuff with diamonds, not on sale. So rubies should be going for at least 80K. That is why i don't sell them anymore.

my 2 cents and point of vue

Not all of us have time to dik around on the game grinding away. Job, wife kids, social life etc... I don't know about the rest of you guys but, if everytime I logged all I had time to do was to grind dailies and minis, the game would be even less fun. They didn't do the diamond special so I bought none. Instead I bought a wow time card. Sticken it to the man. Just my opinion

I think what we all misunderstood is that Kobolds is how frogster refers to us the players.....because of the sale we run our Kobolds will buy lots of diamonds.

Even the main/active EU FM agrees that their advertisement is "misleading" since his superior confirmed that no diamond sale was scheduled. Apparently it was SO misleading, they are covering their backside with a diamond sale for 6 hours today (already EXPLICITLY announced on the EU site)

I thought it meant a promo for Sunday night too so queried it this morning with HJ. There was no promo for Sunday Night. However, I have to admit that it is misleading...

Truthfully, I don't understand complaining about not having time to grind to stay free to play so you want to have double diamond sales. Then go and buy a wow time card. It will take more time to gear up in wow because wow is not pay to win at all. This makes no sense to me? You would rather spend more money to not play and be good? Or spend 15 dollars a month to just have to put in the time anyways?

There was no diamond sale planned for that time, so it was not forgotten. This passage was meant to give an outlook of things to come the week after, and I agree, since we usually do not do that in that form, it was misleading, tricked me too.

Sorry for any confusion this caused.

Dionaea....Sunday = Sunday, next week = next week. The article clearly said Sunday. I understand that they meant the stupid little happy hour thing was Sunday and diamonds would be later in the week...but that's why you say that, not just leave it to the players to guess when things are going to happen. We get told "next week" and next week turns into a year from now when Wardens actually get their patch.

Because $15 a month will/would get you NO where in RoM. I know for sure $180 a year is pointless in RoM you will never reach endgame with that amount of cash and equal time spent in game. I use to spend 200-300 a year in RoM and that got me no where near end game.
