RoM's 4th Anniversary

If I am not mistaken, RoM's 4th anniversary is coming up next week. Wow, it seems like just yesterday that we were complaining about how bad the 3rd anniversary was :). What are some of the things you guys want to see during this year's celebration? I know last year was considered to be a major disappointment, so this year, let's give them some suggestions on what they should do. This is what I personally would like:

1) Bonus XP, and non of that 1.5 or 1.75 Bullyouknowhat. 2x or preferably 3x like we had during Christmas. Or, you could give us 5x xp like that one year and I might even make one of those smelly dwarves and start leveling it :). Oh, and fix the broken quests since that would suck if we had bonus xp but people couldn't quest because their quest line was broken.

2) Sales WITH RUBY BONUS - Good sales are nice, but as has been pointed out in these forums, some of the sales aren't even better than the original price or are just barely better when you factor in the loss of rubies.

3) Diamond sale - If you're going to have good sales, you gotta have a dia sale with it. I personally don't really care about this since there have been a lot of dia sales recently, but I'm sure a lot of other people will want one.

The best part of the party was that the gifts were in your inventory when you logged in, no codes no games just a gift. It would be great if we were able to get permanent back packs again.

3/19/2012 - so we are still little bit away (and year before on 3/18).

I want a repeat of second anniversary. 500% XP/TP and unexpected, and much hyped diamond promo, to be followed next week by what has became known as "Rom Birthday Diamond Fiasco".

Good times, good times!

Yeah I couldn't find the exact date, but I knew it was coming up pretty soon :). I'm pretty sure they make plans about sales and events and what not a few weeks in advance though, so that's why I thought I'd make the thread early.

I didn't think about perm backpacks. That would be awesome if perm slots 4,5,6 came in packages (please no gashas)!

Yeah, because they always run better sales there than we run here. Compare the two and you'll see huge difference.

Not sure but we probably missed the boat on the suggestion time window. events are planned and approved weeks before hand. which is one reason why any suggestions we give on sale tend to take months before we see them take affect if at all. However in the spirit of the optimist. I will join in.

7day and/or 30day musical instruments. Its a luxury item i think fits well in with a special day like an anniversary. A low/fair pricing of course. singular not bundles with other nonsense. Or of there are bundles give the option for single items and a discounted bundled packages. Everyone wins!

*cough*sell us dagger skeleton mount PLEASE!!*cough* woah need to get that cough looked at.. by rom sale department :D

I have to tell you that Gary is right here.
From CM side the events are planned and ready to go, and Sales also has plans ready. However I forwarded the sales specific feedback.
The event parts of suggestions we'll have a look, maybe we can adjust some things a little :)

And timthum I can already tell you that we planned everthing for all regions. We would say "Keiner kriegt 'ne Extrawurst" ;) (no one gets special treatment).

Sorry Langhmara, but your post is a bit 'too optimistic'.

Since F-EU we learn completely new meaning to word 'disappointment', from rare and SHORT 2x/3x to terrible sale offers.

I would like to see any of those suggestions, but more likely we will get FAIL pet enhancement potion that I would gladly use to feed sales intern with.

I can' tell you which items will be on sale but I'm allowed to tell you that the pet enhancement potion will definetly not be part of it ;)

All I can tell you right now is that I'm really looking forward to the RoMBirthday and that I hope you will be surprised positive.

I'd like to ask you not to have such a negative attitude but I understand that you experienced the time since Gameforge (former Frogster Europe) as not so good for you US guys.
I can tell you that it isn't easy to coordinate the different need of US, AU and EU communities. That starts with time zones and ends in things like "what the f**k is a 'Cyber Monday'?" (we don't have such a day here).
Am I getting you right here that you are under the impression that we didn't make any kind of progress so far?

As for the shop promotions, I can tell you that there are usally the same promos in every region. I know that you had a different pricing in the shop before and some items we use for special offers were permanent in the shop. EU also had a different pricing before the repricing last year.

If you'd like to discuss that further. please contact me in PM, because this is definetly not a suggestion for the RoMBirthday. Any further discussion about this will need to be removed from this thread.

What would I like to see for this anyversary?

I'd like to first ask for something really hard to achieve, but not impossible: Everyone happy.

If that's not possible then: Maybe we can have some extra things not only on the diamond shop, also for Rubies and Phirius tokens. Skins, mounts, potions, and if I dare to say something that maybe is a bit wild: 50% discount on all items on diamond shop!.

Glad to hear that... about potion and sales intern will PM as you suggest in bottom of your post.

I hope for positive surprise, similar to the surprise that SW finally got fixed even we still have fire festival. Great job!

Sorry about that, it is part of RoM experience to have one step forward - two backwards. I never said that everything F-EU did was to worst, but most of it was and for every thing they fixed/adjusted we had 2 that got worst.
Regarding holidays and all that goodies with global economy... well, having USA consultant was suggested more then once in time of F-EU.

Quoted from "Laghmara;591720"

Am I getting you right here that you are under the impression that we didn't make any kind of progress so far?

We all see progress and things are going to better, even pace how things are changing is much better. But there are still many things that should be fixed and at the moment, in my opinion biggest show stopper is support. For example, guildie purchased DIAS, gets them, purchased items on SALE, tried to log in into SW, crashed - and none of items are any more in IS bag or bank. Created ticket last week and no single update from support since then. That is huge if you ask me, customer likes answers and communication even if that communication is not positive or what they like. Much better then knowing that either no one care or support is that much overwhelmed that they will not get back to you any time soon.

As for the shop promotions, I can tell you that there are usally the same promos in every region. I know that you had a different pricing in the shop before and some items we use for special offers were permanent in the shop. EU also had a different pricing before the repricing last year.

Biggest issue here is the way it was done - it was all to worst for USA market except puri - which is cheaper. Sales then did something terrible - bad sales week after week, and with wrong data (today 40% being less DIAS per item then tomorrow 50% - all leading to huge unhappiness. I Created many post with suggestions for sales.... but we never saw anything back from that... and since then item actually got even more expensive because DIAS npc got disabled and people like me used that DIAS NPC to off set rather high cost of IS items.

If you'd like to discuss that further. please contact me in PM, because this is definetly not a suggestion for the RoMBirthday. Any further discussion about this will need to be removed from this thread.

I can definitely do that once, and will like to help, but only if I see any moves to better.

Actually, people stopped complaining about sales, not because things are better, but because nothing helped in past. (many of them now playing different game as well) Biggest thing to fix atm is overpriced rubi shop as that is slowing servers progress.

Thank you for response!

And I am sorry for little off topic... would second emperor dragon - would be great to have everyone (or at least almost everyone) happy for a change...

Ain't happening. Too many people around who are working hard finding reasons to be unhappy. Happiness is what you make of it, and only susceptible somwhat to external factors. Most population here is actively anhedonic.

That said, yeah, perm-a-packs would be good, always, but I suspect we ain't gonna see them any time soon.

Forwarded that wish but we can't grant everything at once ;) ("Could we get a 70% off promo with ABLs, puris, permanent backpacks, tier X runes, instruments, wings, mounts, jewels with a 200% diamond promo pretty please?" "Let me think about that.... nope!")
