That does bring up a pretty good idea though... As much as we loved the slot machine dia sales from the FA era, we could also have slot machine IS sales.

basically, the server would spew out a message:

Item Shop item going on sale will be: < random item from the list > @ < random % off 10-90% > for 10 minutes!

Regardless of the %-off, the rubies would be the same as if the IS item were full priced.

Of course, IS sales list had better be puris, puri packs, abls, rae's, etc... and NOT marking ink, marking ink, marking ink, transport runes ;) otherwise,you just might see Zid @ your offices

Quoted from "wenwenni;591911"

Oh My God Timthum. You're taking the quote out of context. The guy (or girl?) wasn't saying that there would be no sales, just that they're not going to offer a ton of items on sale for an outrageous discount of 70%. That is a perfectly fine statement and I see no trolling whatsoever in it.

Yes, we all know that GF makes more when there are good sales on items that everyone wants, but that doesn't mean you offer everything at 99% off! There needs to be a certain level of balance between the regular price and a sale price. You can't have an item be 100 dias during non sale days, and then all of a sudden have the price go down to 10 dias during a sale. I'm sure you can understand why.


Nobody ever asked for 99%, even some item should really take that kind of 'fix', but not on sale - but regular price.

For example, in last 2 weeks we were offered stupid pet enhancement pot at 50% discount - 13 dias. In reality, I can have the same results with 100 miller cakes for 350K, which is much less then 1 dias (depending on the server and current market)

To put it into $$, at level 49 you need a bit over 43K experience, which ON SALE is 637 DIAS or at regular price of DIAS is somewhere around 15 dollars - for 1 LEVEL? This pot made sense when you needed 1 to level pet, but now is obsolete, especially at this price.

Athough I'd have phrased it a little different: thanks wenwenni for summing this up so very well.
And thank you very much for explaining those marketing thoughts :)

This 70% off example was really nothing but an ironic hyperbole, I had hoped that this would be perfectly clear.
If not please see me being sorry (source)


And I really have to agree with GarySandstorm

To be honest: I don't get the point of complaining now about how bad the birthday will be if you don't even know what we'll do. I'm currently proofreading the event descriptions and I have to say that I like it, from a players point of view and from a CMs point of view. It can of course be possible that you guys wont like it, but hey: in that case don't participate.

If you'd have children and they would be like "Mom/Dad I don't wanna go to Johns birthday! I wont get presents that I like! I don't like the birthday cake that will be there! All the games we play there are stupid and boring!" - how would you react?

Last but not least I ask you once again and for the last time to stop the Off-Topic in this thread.

Great moto... will use it for sig... time to retire ol' Al...

What we try to explain you that we did not participate much in last year or so... and with comments like this you just put too much shade over coming time... imho FAIL.

And talking about previous BD disappointments is now off topic? How? Idea here is for you guys to know what not to do and not to make the same mistakes FEU did.

Okay RoMage, I take it that you know what to do best for all of you. Please send me a detailed event & shop plan for the next birthday, we'll take it into account. Please add objectives for the plan :)

I don't know why you want to get everything wrong, but you seem to enjoy it. Okay.

Here'S an idea :

Give us 200% diamonds more than deserved
POM guys in Varanas would be really nice for 3 days
Then Helping Hands spread out in world for guild runes and rubies 3 days
ABL'S RAE at 70% but true 70% off
50% off stuff in IS in rotation for a week, no packages or crappy 2 and get one free
Little mount for 12 diamonds again ( would help alts and new players ;-) )
Egg rice dumplings and little magic biscuit permanently in IS

Also 30% 30 day mount potions, since i lost all of mine (6) in one week ;-( INVIDUALLY NO PACKAGE!!


Make up for last year FAIL, MAKE US BELIEVE YOU CARE ABOUT U.S. SERVERS!!!!!



No GM's CM's in game please, all you guys do is crash people and benefit endgamers only. Just like the president of Frogster coming in at 3AM EST and giving 1000 egg rice dumplings to endgamers only. Then we can't get them anymore because you realized they were all selling them DUHHHH!!! STAY AWAY FROM US lol

P.S. BTW last time Dio came by for the Disturbed guild 3rd anniversary, all the stuff she gave me, i gave it away to the players that crashed and couldn't get any. GREED is a bad thing, i just love to make it right to all on RENI. I hate and love you all equally ;-) Everyone knows that on RENI = greatest server in the US!!!!!!

Stop being greedy and give back Gameforge ;-)

Actually GM's Ingame doing Giveways is something I'd really like to see again. Little magic biskets are for fun, wines/egg rice etc.

Comps for things like OD Wings etc

Please no POM give aways, the trade in runes for poms just creates more botters from what I have seen.

I would like thank Lahgmara for proving some of us wrong by being active on us forums.(see i am not always negative) and i do believe that gf is trying. Sorry for being off topic but i felt this needed to be said.

OOPS sorry but endgamers and POM botters wouldn't want this Blade, you are right. Trade in POM ?? REALLY?? 30M for one stat, that is fair price?? Give us POM people again, so regular players can have access to them. Since everyone know how people Bot the world bosses and prevent the rest of us access to them. The only thing that did, when we got them, is make prices go down, screwing up the economy for endgamers only.

I buy my diamonds with real money and have no problem with that. Would be easy to be free to play for me and buy diamonds in world or AH, sell stuff for 300M and buy free diamonds, but i don't do that. I give free food, potions, stats, gear, weapons to all guildies and friends, everyone chips in Disturbed ;-). You can ask anyone on RENI, i am not worried about the response you would get. I do not cheat, hacks or lie, i say it like it is and don't really care what people think. I am one of the most honest, nicest player you will find on Reni and proud of it. I will do anything to better my server in anyway i can.

We all have the typical morons on every server, greedy stupid people who don't care about others, i am not one of them. Few people i hate on my server, but we can't get along with everyone and share the same view on things ;-). I am not perfect, but working on it lol.

Enough, already.

I've just killed off 15 off-topic posts that discussed exploits and were filled with accusations and personal attacks. Knock it off.

Is there any place/way to discuss it without breaking forum rules or causing people to know how to do it? Or is it just by private messages?( if even that is allowed)

Lagh or someone said you can still see the deleted posts :P Can you send them to me in a pm (I thought that besides talking about the exploit I was pretty clean :p) because I kinda want to hear borella's side if he still wants to talk about it
Also delete my post about making a new thread (not this one) right above your post because it isn't relevant either

Though we do need to know whether or not it is okay to use those other methods (if it has been said before can you direct me to the post?)

Discussing exploits, including how to exploit is already covered by the forum rules:

c) Fraud in- or outside of the game (e.g. exploits, scams, phishing, the sale of accounts and/or gold, and sites or files which contain and/or spread viruses or other malicious software)

So no, public discussions are not allowed.

In the deleted messages, there were no specifics given. A number of the deleted posts contained accusations of alleged exploiting and/or personal attacks (forum rule 2a) and were deleted for those reasons, and not to mention they were completely off-topic for the thread.

Technically no one was discussing exploits or how to do them, since I don't recall any statement indicating that it is an exploit. It would help if GM/CMs would come in here and say taht doing x y or z is exploiting when things tend to be vague. (See many threads regarding siege and no one knowing if doing a certain action is or isnt anexploit)

How do we go about discussing that and finding out if something is officially deemed an exploit?
