lol, I remember back in the day, we would have an alt sit in HoS to keep it open so we could run into siege.

But I dunno.. if GF advertised on tv, wouldn't they have to push RW to fix stuff in-game?

By the time I got here, Scouts of Magic had taken its toll on the population, and siege was down to 25 vs 25

But I'd take anything over the current disgrace of a siege.

Yes they would they have to push RW to fix stuff but they would also have to be willing to spend actual money on the ads/marketing and such. I don't see GF in it's current state (being EU ONLY based) doing anything like that!

Sure they will continue to try to promote via social media and such, but nothing that costs any significant amount of $$$ to do.

I would guess that 75% of the new players who have tried the game in the past year or two have done so because someone they knew told them to, most of the remaining 25% came across RoM via a website somehow. Out of all of those people probably 95% quit within the first 2 weeks of playing. Especially once they started asking questions about how to progress.

I've been playing for just over 3 years now, but I'm 100% sure if I were to have started anytime in Ch4 or Ch5 I would have quit a LONG time ago...

My GF and I would have stayed quit a long time ago if we didnt have the money sank in to the game that we do. We leave for periods but always return cause she starts thinking about how much we have spent in game time and money on it.

I am far more jaded than her, having given up a game i played for 7 years... it is still going and i used to keep going back to it but finally cut ties. Just too much to catch up on lol. If i can give that game up, i can give any one up.

I thought Level 80 was the end of Chapter 5... It's not like the level 80 stuff is in ItemPreview and named... oh wait, it is. Yeah, the 80 stuff is written in the game already, all sets and weapons and even the blue and green items. I'm not surprised really, they've done this with every content release. It's reasonable they do this for a small scale, but they really don't need to update everyone on it instead of just the test server.

aren't other versions of RoM in other parts of the world at a different/higher lvl than us anyways?

I really hope GF creates quality assurance department and gives them game for 2-4 weeks to play new chapter before releasing the game to the public for next chapter. 4 weeks should be enough to work with RW to fix patches and to ensure everything works.... but that would make sense and there is a slim chance anything close would ever happen it current trend of milkin' the cow as much as possible without makin' big investments.

Game does not have marketing in USA for past year and half. That is when ads stopped being published in USA gaming magazines. (was giving nice gift package)

But Atar, they do not like to give stuff away, loss of profit for them. I was surprised of the 2 daily reset tickets we got from their patch issue. They have no clue how to do marketing in north and south America or they simply wait till it dies completely by itself and say it is no longer viable to keep the servers up. Knowingly that they caused it on their own because we are the unwanted adopted red-haired child of Gameforge, but hey keep sending invites on my e-mail for all your other crappy games. BTW i never subscribed to receive all those crappy e-mails.

We have said it before, this game could have so much potential and fun if they would take their heads out of the sand and get stuff fixed and running smoothly, cough cough siege war and make it twice a day at least or 3. We were supposed to get new content every 3 months and that was a lie. If you guys are waiting to shut down the game, at least have the decency to say so.

Marketing = more sales, simple enough.

What are you talking about we get new content every month! There is a "new" event that changes the zodiac pets and...

yea... that is most likely how they see it.

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Zid, while I agree that game itself needs new marketing for North America, I am not sure if simple marketing will bring more sales. With current IS prices, I am not sure how many folks would stay in RoM. Simply, game is just too expensive to run and only reason I stayed is because I did not mind everyone in chat telling me how expensive it is.

IS needs rework, then marketing needs to aggressively bring new blood to the game. (mostly telling new blood to ignore Raves and his comments...

)

The last Item Shop "rework" was a total disaster that made IS more expensive and user-unfriendly overall... Unless they get an IS team that knows that they're doing, I'm not sure I want aother item shop rework...

Unless they take the easy way out and just half the price of everything in the IS... now there's a nice rework.

Soooo.... any of you kidz wanna talk next chapter or next zone, or is this pretty much now SSDD thread?

But even you said no need to talk about new chapter if they don't fix current one... What good is going to be if only my main can level to new cap??

I agree Noblewarrior, without proper fix, what have they done so far it was just from bad to worst...

This feels more like game without leadership....

Back in time, if something is broken, lead CM would tell that he will inform HQ, now you don't get even that... Not to mention that Swag actually spent time trying to figure it out in times of NA Frog....

It is really depressing... whole GF situation, and question is does this game really deserves another chapter...

Personally I'm looking forward to it

new levels are always welcome here even if I have to grind. And new EoJ stats will help out

I'm sure some folks don't want it but you can count me as one who does. In reguards to fixing stuff rather than publishing new content, The mods have already told us that a separate group of developers for that process "though I wish they would hire more developers for that staff !"

EoJ's are only worthwhile if the stats are worthwhile.. After Rozaran, the EoJ pulls have been craptastic.

Unless you're pulling the same stats you could get via shells (Frost, Wilderness, Bygone.) In that case EoJ's have been great. But anything else is not worth pulling unless you need the gear. And even then I prefer to check in the AH instead of burning through a ton of EoJ's to get one that's OD or doesn't need to have a stat cleaned first.

Yeah, the "shell" stats are distributed normally. Unlike the higher stats which, I believe, come from easy mode table, "shell" stats are distributed same way as shell pulls.

As for gear, EOJ is way better than mems at this time. I don't want to farm DOD/GCE till my eyes bleed to get a chance at fail stat and hope for OD piece for my 840 mentos. I rather spend 280 EOJs for same fail stat and best non-POM ring in the game.

Which reminds me... previews of L80 gear is out and they are making what looks to be PVP gear. Pieces have crit resistance and "-x% resistance against damage from a player" bonuses. Hmmm...

so, is it too late to submit recommendations for new content that will be messed up?

And taking bets on the rock wall(barrier to new zone) still being there.
