i was planning on coming back to ROM but i decided to check the forums to see what all has been done. i was pretty disappointed and glad i took a little time reading the current things going on.

no real changes have been put in place to make a difference with the economy, just a cheap smoke and mirrors show with the "ban hammer". that and reading other posts stating that all the patches have already been made and are currently being played in korea and they are being released over time here as normal only assured me that bugs and glitches will only be fixed by already made patches that wont be released till later.

i didnt stop playing because the economy was bad, anyone can have fun playing with minimal gear/items. but i got tired of dieing because vanish is broken, losing guild sieges because another guild will have 3-4 wardens force crashing our guild, and a horrible dmg/def calulations rom uses.

all it would take to make the game the best ftp game in the world would be to fix bugs, and bridge the gap between new players and end gamers. fix the dmg/def calculations so players can actually progress through instances and raids. i couldnt run DOD till my guild carried me through there a few times to gear up. the only other way to do it is spend a few hundred dollars statting lower gear that i would end up replacing with new gear i would have to spend even more money on to stat to run the next instances. if you allow players to progress as a player and not a customer, they wont be so reliant on other players running instances to sell them the gear, which there wont be such a demand for gold, and people wouldnt decided to buy gold from spammers so much. (yes QQ endgamers for you wouldnt be monopolizing gear anymore)

people would still have to buy diamonds for gear to be statted (and what ever other goodies) whether they buy diamonds directly or from players with gold, someone still has to spend real money on them.

but this will never happen. FA has proven that with how they are currently conducting the game, and if those posts are correct about the game is how ever much progressed in korea and patches come to the EU and US game later on. well, there is no hope at all, and pleads fall on deaf ears because the games' future is already set

take care ROM players, and good luck

There is no such thing as a video game without bugs. There are issues that exist but we do try to fix as much as possible.

"Possible" seems to be a relative term, since in my opinion there is a lot more - a whole lot more - that could be fixed if Runewaker pulled their fingers out and actually did something about it.

I know you didn't get a chance to see this before your post, but this is one of the things we are doing for the economy: http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/news,id241…nfestation.html . I think that by the end of the month you'll see a difference.

A difference? Riiiiiight. You'll forgive a little skepticism - if the malatina-reset for traps is any indication of the future offerings of this NPC, I'm not holding my breath on "difference".

We are still trying to work with Runewaker to fix the Warden exploit, but there is a workaround that you can do yourself to make sure that doesn't happen to to you: http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=63712

I still find it pathetically sad that it took a workaround from a player to deal with a problem that Runewaker have had a very long time to fix. This is the kind of stuff that really leaves Runewaker and Frogster looking... well just plain incompetent.

Localization doesn't mean that we simply slap a "US" sticker on it. You would be surprised at the number of times patches have been delayed because we wanted things changed first. The game's future (as you described it) is certainly not set in stone.

I find it amusing that you say that when in essence what you are getting is a second-hand, hand-me-down Asian game that has been translated and "localised" for us... The game's future is wherever Runewaker want to take it - since it seems they aren't really interested in what Frogster have to say.

After what is turning into years, the important stuff still hasn't been fixed, and you've basically come out and said that some of it won't be fixed. Thanks for the honesty, but now we can see the reality of it. If Runewaker can't find it in their hearts to even work on something like redesigning guild castles to make the walls "unshootthroughable", what hope do we have for anything else?

Just know that we are constantly listening to you guys and trying our best to accommodate you.

Well... the jury is out on that one since most of the stuff we suggest on the forums that is in Frogster's jurisdiction of control never seems to surface. What we get seems to be what Frogster / Runewaker want to give us, even if it is directly at odds with what the players have been asking for / complaining about on the forums.

Some bugs would be fine but last night with all settings on low I crashed 5 times during siege. I crash 75% of the time leaving Dalanis. I crash if I use Snoop more than once. I crash in Varanis 60% of the time.

Your rig is definitely good enough, it sounds like there is something else weird going on. Post your full system specs (HDD, OS, Power supply etc...) along with exactly what you are doing in the Bugs forum and we'll try to help you there.

His power supply, HDD, OS etc.. has nothing to do with why the game crashes, and frankly I'm tired of seeing FA asking for system specs etc.. when someone claims their game is crashing. The facts are if it were his PSU, HDD, OS etc.. the entire computer would crash, not just "single out" ROM and decide to just crash that.

I don't care who you are or what kind of computer you have, this game has and will crash on you. Anyone who has been playing awhile has experienced cities or zones completely disappearing. Files, textures etc... bugging out and not loading properly has nothing to do with your system. It's game files getting corrupted and just poor coding.

Not saying that other games do not crash, but this one has a fairly high crash rate compared to any other game I've played. Not to mention most that crash this often have since been patched, in beta.

I don't think the infamous memory leak was ever truly fixed. Port around a lot and you'll crash.

I've not installed RoM back onto my system since I wiped it and installed 7, but I'm guessing I'll still crash going into Dalanis or Varanas.

Quoted from "sewerpipe;473746"

I guarantee it will crash. I left for awhile, came back with a new/updated computer. Very high end gaming machine, and it crashes. So that's proof in the pudding that it's the game itself and not peoples computers.
