New content

As per Heijoshin on EU forums :

[COLOR=#3399FF !important]Hey everyone,

Information from my side regarding this issue.

We are aware that the content for the RU servers differs from that of EU, US and AU. The RU publishers have their own seperate contracts with RW, but of course I am not aware of the details and in what way it differs. However, because it is a different contract, it has meant that in some areas, their content is different.

However, what we are not saying is that we are ignoring your requests. They are taken seriously and forwarded to RW and as a matter of fact, we have already forwarded requests for certain features that you see in the RU servers.

Also, we are certainly not withdrawing content on purpose. Definitely not that. Like I said, a difference of contracts.

Kind Regards,

Heijoshin [/COLOR] [INDENT] Last edited by Heijoshin; 02.11.2012 at 09:22.

[COLOR=#3399FF !important]We haven't received any update regarding this as of yet, but some of our team were at RW HQ recently and this was one of the discussions. Hopefully I can get something to you as soon as I get the info myself.

Will keep on nagging until I get something.

Heijoshin

[/COLOR][COLOR=#3399FF !important]I brought this up again and this is what I was told:

regarding a PvP castle in Ystra: Not true, the only thing is that the settings changed and that the whole Ystra Highland zone is a PvP zone.

Flying Ships: Again, not true.


That is what I was informed when I brought it up again.

regards,

Heijoshin

not true at least anymore http://rmonline.ru/news/2063/ posted 05.02.13

which translates to

Dear friends!

We hasten to please you good news. Flying ships that we have all been waiting for, will be available tomorrow.

Elves have finally agreed to open the secret of the ships, but not willing to share the secret knowledge of the unworthy. According to them, they will tell how to get the ship, only the guild leader and deputy ministers. Already guild leaders will decide who to take on board.

Elf Sidklo adventurers will wait outside the class room Varanas (near Falirla).

To the owners of the ships opened fantastic opportunities that will emerge gradually. For example - the search for heavenly treasures and air battles.

Quest to ship available to players in the guild rank 9 (guild master), 8 and 7.[COLOR=#3399FF !important]

[COLOR=#3399FF !important]aaaaaaaand back we go to get the info.

Thanks for the heads up!

Heijoshin


[/COLOR][COLOR=#3399FF !important]Hi guys,

let me just jump in here quickly.

We here at Gameforge have a "only confirmed and verfied info is good info" politic. That might be one of the most german things here but we like confirmations and confirmation mails and being 100% sure.

For Heijoshin getting this info means: he sums up what you guys need to know and sends it over to me. I ask our producers and they get in contact with Runewaker and Russia.
Answering mails from the european publisher might not be on top of the ToDo List from the russian publisher.
And if we get the mail we need to check with Runewaker. And if we have everything checked and verified we'll get you guys an update. But before you get it we'll have our Produce reread it to make sure that all info given is correct.

I know that these rumors are of high interst for you and Heijoshin does know that as well. He's asking me every day what I can tell him and every time I just can tell him "Sorry nothing new so far". I guess if that goes on, he'll even call me at weekends.

As some of you might be aware I was on sick leave for nearly two month and some things got delayed due to that. I'm glad to be back and I'll pick up everything that needs attention. And I can assure you that we will keep on investigating on that issue.

Regards,
~Laghmara

I read Russian. Not very well, but enough to read Russian pages.

Looks like whatever they had for ships for example is open to guild leaders and guild officers only. Also says that it is only available if you have premium accounts. They seem to have some kind of "pay extra for features" memberships. Controls are disabled for everyone else.

Also seems like it might need to be built as guild resource (unless people are speculating or being snarky about it, not sure). Not sure if it anything more exciting than a large group mount.

See some kind of SW-only transformation item, giving you 25% extra stam and wisdom and reducing your speed by half. As usual, no riding when transformed. And I am not sure, looks to be item shop item.

Prices look to be quite a bit higher. Equipment Attribute Purifying stone (extract specific stat from gear) is on sale for 120 dias. Have +17 weapon gems and +18 gems for other slots. 400 dias for armor/accessories, 660 for weapons. Ouch. We have prices like that, people would be all pissy about how much they are opressed.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

They have several types of these "premium" accounts, where you buy a month with an amount of diamonds, and get bonuses to movement speed, damage, HP, etc.

Russian side seems more P2W, but then again, we don't know how much diamonds they get for the same money. Though assuming its the same, I definately wouldn't want to go there.

What I said in another thread applies here as well...

Quoted from "ghostwolf82;601868"

...can you guys start making posts here ... at all?! This is ridiculous that we have to rely on other players going over to the EU side, grabbing the info for us, and posting it here. Stop letting your customers do your job. That's just lazy.


This is such a horrible way to do business guys, really. You have made a few minor changes for the good, but overall...

Well EU have a lot of posts or comments in BLUES, where we do not. We have people who deletes posts, make bad comments to forums questions ( not Kalvan, he actually does his job when he/she is here ) ;-).

We are probably just not worthy to get answers to questions anymore.

They are just too busy in Dragon's Prophet on the spot support and fixes

pretty sad ;-(

What I get from this is that the Russians are better at negotiating contracts than the Germans. (Insert witty historically accurate reference here. Though, as I understand it, when being taught German history in Germany, they act as if that whole incident never happened.... So much for learning from your past, eh?)

The parent company isn't as good as the subsidiary, which means they should just let the Russians work the contract negotiations when the time comes to re-negotiate them.

Russians are way weird. They have "Miss Rom" contest for last 3 years, and... "Miss bikini ROM"? Mmmmkk... I guess no point in holding that here. Ghostwolf would run away with the category. :p

No way I see of checking dias/ruble rate without registering, and I am not sure I would trust the current conversion anyway. But their dia promos look to be very weak.

Here is the big promo for a major holiday:

Quoted

При покупке 100 алмазов - бонус к алмазам 5%
При покупке 200 алмазов - бонус к алмазам 10%
При покупке 500 алмазов - бонус к алмазам 15%
При покупке 1000 алмазов - бонус к алмазам 20%
При покупке 2000 алмазов - бонус к алмазам 25%
При покупке 3000 алмазов и более - бонус к алмазам 40%


Format is "with a buy of X dias - bonus dias Y%". 40% max bonus, AND you have to buy 3000 dias for that? No thanks. Dia package sizes seem similar to ours, so that suggests the costs are as well.

Oh, and looks like "insults directed toward players or game administration" is listed as prohibited activity. You guys won't last 5 minutes there with that rule.

1. Kindly restrict complaints about GF staff to PMs.

2. Remember that our CMs and our FM are based in Europe and have duties there.

3. Dragon's Prophet is not published by Gameforge, but by SOE. Runewaker is the developer and is continuing to do development work on Runes of Magic.

1. Kindly restrict complaints about GF staff to PMs. Ignore the man behind the curtain.

2. Remember that our CMs and our FM are based in Europe and have duties there. They own the U.S. servers as well, thus they have duties here too, they just choose to ignore them. Again, poor business practices no matter how you look at it. I can get on these forums from my phone to make a reply, why can't they do the same? Is this the only internet based business that does not use smartphones?

3. Dragon's Prophet is not published by Gameforge, but by SOE. Runewaker is the developer and is continuing to do development work on Runes of Magic. For the Russians.

Replies in bold. These are weak answers Kalvan, you normally do so much better, but in this case you just can't. They are dropping the ball here and everyone can see it.

Is "Lighten up, Francis" overused? Jes wondering cause StickinthemudIt certainly calls for it.

Reading a bit more.... Seems like those "flying ships" are leading to some kind of island in Tergothen Bay. You have to go in as guild sounds like, it is open PVP zone and you are supposed to score more than other guilds. First test of zone is tomorrow, it is a new content for them.

No rewards for winning, although their GM indicates that it is because it is not finished yet, they just want people to kick tires. People are having none of it, they want rewards for testing. Also, expecting a lagfest.

Finally, again I am not sure I am reading this right, but seem like there is a dia component to even building a ship - apparently only a few OP guilds have it.

So RURoM has its players test things live as well? That's just crazy. There needs to be beta testing servers for this game, like we see from other games.
