Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "Southern;580891"

It being in the top 5 for 2011 in many polls is what led me to check it out.

In 2011, things were actually happening....

Well, as of now, RoM seems to be ranking pretty low on... just about everything. lol

Things still happening, just need to have a good time while playing.

Aside from the problems of;

Imbalanced PvP
Bugged quest
Comparatively low population
Horrible Money: Dias ratio
Easily hackable
So much RNG based
A lot of stupid players
Crashing all day erry day
The amount of time/money it costs to get to endgame is beyond belief to any other game
Bots everywhere

can list a lot more but I'm lazy

RoM has best Sales Department, we all should vote for it!!!

The problem is, that management usually looks at stuff like this poll and takes results as being true. Look, RoM is at bottom of list therefore, no resources to a fail project. Or, it could be, wow we have a winner here, keep up the good work. Ideally, you want to come in at #2, that gets them in the competitive mode, how can we become #1.

I got a idea to make the game better...take some of that overinflated 3 Dias for 80000 = 26666.67 per dia spend all of that of some fixes, COMPUTERS , hell buy lunches and dinners no one cares and give us back the 15 Dias for 300000 = 20000 per dias , or offer both.... I could write the code for that if need that much help there.....Only played for 3 1/2 months now and the game has gone downhill from there. I LOVE THE GAME but when Papp Hesof has been broken for me for 1 1/2 months now I'm stuck at 73.5 level Should be 75R/65S by now just disappointing

There are ways to get RoM at #1 (where it really should be) and we (including me) were pointing on that for over a year, but that just does not work. Current leadership and sales department are killing game, and I am already researching what to do when those servers get shut down.

Reason why I am disappointing Mr. Pink Hat with almost no sales QQ-ing is just that I as everyone else before me just give up.

Just look at latest sale - we all say that sale should be really that - SALE, and we got 20-some dollars pack of + stones, and you need what, 6 of them to redo your gear?! Who in clear mind would spend 150 bucks on the single update, and they just announced couple months ago to get new zones every 3 months?!

A bit too much, if you ask me.

FYI I fixed the missing link thingy, it now directs you to our vote and you can still decide whether to vote for us or not

Of course we can and do not want to make you vote for something if you are not wanting to vote for it.

But I would think at least in the category Best Community we should give our community some credit, because you are awesome

Someone on the EU DE discussion of this vote did put it quite nicely:

This game must be doing something right if it still exists and people play it for years and participate with a lot of passion in game, and on forums as well with feedback, criticism and your input.

We all hate bugs and want them to be fixed asap, we are players just like you and suffer from them. But while we always hope for a fast fix or to be able to offer workarounds for stuck quests, it is not always possible.

Quite a few of you expressed the concern that we do not do enough advertisement for RoM and not enough new players pop in to check it out. Well, here is your chance as a community to do something that you can actually do on your part. If you like to play despite all issues, surely something deserves your vote

If you do not see the best community in RoM as example, surely you would not participate much in our forums or play much. A community is the spice of every MMO and I really think our communities rock across all languages.

This is your choice as a player, to put your vote in if you like what you play. If you do not want to vote, don't.

Most of all, have fun playing

Last night we faced a guild that used to outman us and steamroll us, they were down to like six people, we were down too cause we had a guildie quit the game. Gameforge you abandoned this game, made it way to expensive and dropped the ball on every event and holiday.


Sure you have nice CMs/GMs, but all they can is is apologize it say I'll forward that.

Grinding is not fun, and we have no choice but to grind, especially now that servers are at all time low population.

I have been grinding, dailies, minis, EoJ for the last six months this plus seige takes all my playing time. I just decided a couple weeks ago to get out of that rut and go back to enjoying the game. Yeah, my path to end game has been cut off at the knees, I just decided that it was not worth it...and you know what, it is not. Get back to playing the game RoMage, don't let teh grind take over your life.

Well Dionne i'll vote for you and the game under the catigory of WORST RUN GAME EVER. Thats all i coud vote for and you think your doing something right think again. The only reason why people are sticking around is becuase we made friends and enjoy playing with them and we've put to much time and dont wanna start new again but i've even noticed that your guys are just driving the most hard core people away. Just look at you lack or I.T they are the bottom of the barrel.

best community? no...
Most hopeful community that someone will fix the issues and make the game shine
Most disappointed community by the lackluster diamond sales and the extreme cost of the game.

i will vote for best community.i have asked many questions over 2 years and ALWAYS get satisfactory answers.now support isnt as bad as some other games i have played.gw2 being the worst of them all.to the point that i wont even play it i have unistalled it due to a 2 week time to get 1 response from them and then they said they will not answer me any more.NEVER have i had an issue like this here,support here ALWAYS answers.i may not like what they say but they answer and dont tell me that they wont answer me.this community is the best one i have come across yet.

i would like to say THANK YOU to EVERY ONE.you have made my game experience better by sharing info and strategies.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty sure the only reason why people still play this game is because of the amount of money they have invested in it.

I can guarantee if RoM were to have a "Get your invested money back!" event, 99% of the end gamers would take it and quit the game instantly.

Just sayin'.

You want to be the best F2P MMORPG? Increase the cap on the diamond vendor, put the rune NPC guy back in, remove the "Spend $200 USD to +16 one piece of your gear" stones and you might get there. Sure you WILL make LESS money in the short run, heck you might even lose money, but with decent advertising you WILL get more players that will spend money which will ultimately bring you more money.

Is there category 'most expensive free to play'?!

That really sounds ironic...

@Auros - thinking to do the same thing. I already left once because of support that its support only in name, more annoyance in my opinion. Would probably never return did not someone in GF HQ (still got email) decided that they should send me my twink weapon back with runes that got eaten by bad quest.

It is kind of hard to know potential of this game, but just watching it slowly die by bad leadership and support. How many of you have the same feeling?

@ RoMage & Auros

I did actually do that on my 3rd class... started questing in the 2nd human newbie zone outside of OS. I keep forgetting how pretty Sathkur & those areas are. ...and lag free!
