Runes of Magic US / AU

All the endgames will finally be able to make a single 12 man raid, the mid gamers will stay exactly where they are, and the noobs will stay exactly where they are.

An impossible dream that might come true after much difficulty. -he says with his fingers crossed-

I'm already top dps with 1k intelligence and 5k magic attack! With this magnitude of power I can solo all instances at one time. I just shoot one large tornado across the entire server and destroy all mobs within a few seconds.

Fear me.

The cost to make a set of endgame gear is the biggest roadblock, not the gear itself.

Unless you are delusional and think all endgame gear is 500m underdura.

^ Basically this. Gear isn't what's stopping midgamers from becoming endgamers. Stats, plussing jewels, puri's, and runes are. These will not be in any greater availability because of the merge. The merge will not magically create more endgamers it will just allow those that already exist to possibly make a decent raid.

I expect the cost of dias, stats and runes sold by players to increase some.

You're missing the point Djed. Gameforge controls the price of dias vs dollars, and the price of items on the cash shop.

They directly control the price of power and for most it's too expensive. I've always argued for a cheaper item shop. It'll allow a greater range of people to access and enjoy more content.

If my dollar went further I'd be willing to put some money into this game. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Anyways not trying to derail this into a cash shop thread. I think Bo basically nailed it with his comment. I'd like to think a handful of like-minded and motivated midgamers could push their way into endgame content, but that group of players would likely already be endgame anyways....

Well Sek you are totally right, prices will go up to adjust to the merged servers prices, some have diamonds at 120K per and some have 80K per. Mostly prices will go up for them cause people will see the opportunity to make more gold out of them. As for gear and weapons and cards etc, until we get to a point prices will be what they will be.

The merge will permit for regular folks like the 95% of servers, to find other like us to be running harder stuff and learn how to do it with 12 people and no buffers for the last 6. Regular guilds wanting to work together and running stuff will be good for them and guildies and bring prices for gear down when they do


BTW stats/runes/puris are dirt cheap and not hard to obtain on their own, gear isn't so bad either to get.


So the merge will help regular folks to run more stuff and more hardmode YIPPIE!!!!

well not necessarily you can still be good if you yellow stat and some people also have poms from events so not really much if you play smart

runes are NOT cheap. last i did math they were one of the most expensive aspects of modding gear. fortunately you only need to buy them once though.

as for stats, you can get away with bag/shell statting and it's not a huge deal.

puris, agreed, are decently cheap.

Nope, wasn't missing the point of the thread. My point was not that the dias GF sell are going to increase but the players selling dias in game will increase their prices if more people try to make it to endgame status because those with dias will see a higher demand for puris, plussing gems, etc.

And I hate the rune system. It should be more like the statting process (which is bad in itself but better than runes). You can't improve the levels of runes easily because of the exponential increase in the number you need in order to go up more than 1 level. I'd love to have a curse IX or X but the cost is too much.

Runes and plussing are the highest costs of making gear. You're spending about 5k to 6k dias to make all of your runes (if not a tank, then leaving a recon at vii) lvl X for your weapon only.

I doubt very many guilds will merge or much will change, other than a slightly livelier ghetto channel. Guilds can already merge or pug but they still mostly don't. Plus, you don't just abandon friends and people you've known for maybe several years for a bunch of strangers, at least I won't.

Merge is coming soon and things are going to get real interesting and only one can hold the title. The match has been lit all the big names will try to climb to the top but only one can rule who will it be former endgamers midgamers the noobs. Who will betray who who will band together only time can tell things are getting real interesting lets start the throne wars

I just love how naive this guy is. Roms best days are over, if you havent made a name for yourself as an endgamer by now a tiny little increase in population isnt going to do anything. You might get better gear and stats but the actual end gamers will get even better gear and stats so the mid gamers and noobs will still be midgamers and noobs unfortunately.

Gear has been hard af to get lately (pom yarlis, coe chain etc) but I see your point. Stats through eoj's are a big change that should give people that can't run hm a chance to upgrade. Plussing will always be a bitch. But from what I've seen the biggest problem is people not using their toon to it's full potential or not knowing their class in general. I see a lot of people way under-performing what their character and gear level can do. An all yellow statted party with crafted gear can clear pillars hm and hoE as long as people know their class (how to stat it and rotation which seems to be a huge problem for some reason) and give the maximum possible performance. People with brown hoE sets didn't have brown sets to clear hoE in the first place. Now factor in how eojs give hm stats now and pom events which allowed for guilds that can't down wb's to obtain pom gear and stats. People should be able to break through roadblocks and eventually run higher stuff to obtain better level gear themselves without any dependence on stronger guilds but they must first know and understand how to play their class.
