Are we spoiled??

Just wondering with all issues with game, support, in game item shop, meaningless events and expensiveness of our favorite game - are we a bit spoiled with our demand for game to work as intended, being available without costing fortune and have support that will work at any time you post ticket?! (in short - all that I expect with other games in the same genre)

My good sir. It is my sad duty to inform you that indeed you are spoiled. After all, a person who wants everything handed to them on a platter by setting such high expectations for a man-made distraction, is the very definition of spoiled. But think what you have done with this question. Your guild will be swamped with people looking to join so that you can carry them thru instance after instance getting them geared. I'm sure other guilds will appreciate your desire to bring more people of such like-mindedness together. ....

On another note i have an alt that needs powerleveled on reni does your guild have the time ?

Romage is power leveling sign me up........

What you mention sounds similar to how RoM used to be (except the bug free bit). Unfortunately RoM isn't aging well, take the cash shop for example every level raise things like plussing jewels get more expencive. eg level 80 jewels cost more then the level 70, if we want to plus anything past +6 it cost just as much to +12 +16 level 1 - 70 gear as it does level 80.

Xp/tp for skills grow higher and higher, yep xp/tp charms stayed the same price. 249 dias for a superior xp or tp charm lets buy 1 of each 498 diamonds you get 1mil xp and 100k tp. (buying 10 dialy resets will give you 33mil xp and 3.3mil tp with lv 77 quests and only cost you 390 dias see the problem here?)

The biggest problem is no one seems to be listening anymore, even the US forums had active and informative GM/CM's. I cant remember that last time Thalia had a GM run event where GM's would gives away aged wines, egg rice dumplings and other fun things. Back from the days when Game managers interacted with players on a more personal level. It was things like that that made us look past the bugs and crashes.

There is a saying "Once you don't like someone EVERYTHING they do will start to annoy you." That's kind how the management of RoM is going, with little or no interaction every little bug or glitch is really annoying.

i return from a ban and guess what all my 30% speed pots are gone and i get this response 7 days after submitting a ticket
You will neither receive your gold back, nor will we send you your speed potions.

If you lost items during a suspension we do not offer a reimbursement.
i had 17 million gold meh that isnt the issue i am missing potions i PAID FOR WITH REAL MONEY.
bottom line here is they are blatantly scamming for real money.


hmmmmm if i lost items during a suspension i am 1000% positive that it wasnt me that deleted the potions.
i bid you all good luck with this failforged company.this cash cow is not spending 1 cent on anything related to the publisher of this game.i doubt i will even play anymore.they have ruined the fun.

Reason I started this is about a year ago I had my problem with support, where with all proof they need and even me recreating issue to prove quest is deleting wrong item, I got 'we can't reimburse you'. At the time I just deleted RoM folder and wrote letter to GameForge HQ. 3 months later someone from HQ emailed me that he reviewed my case and has sent my lost item back. At that point i reinstalled the game and came back.

In mean time I played some of games I collected (not sure can I mention name, they both real time strategy games) and completed 2 games and each had 2-3 scenario packs that I completed as well. None of them crashed single time in all gaming.

Of course I was furious with support and stability of the game, but only thing that makes this game great is community, people you play with.

I am believer that with correct person at head of this game, this game can be among top 5 if not the best F2P game, and still make much more money then what they are making now.

Just small update, with all folks reporting having issue with support, I created ticket yesterday and in less then 24 hour I got 2 response. It worked well, but only once someone in Germany is at work. (thus next day)

As for power leveling, we can arrange something... ;) (even Mr. Pink Hat is shaking his head telling - its bad idea for n00bs such as myself to powerlevel others... :D

On topic... Hmmm... can you post on topic in the forum called "off topic"? And if you do, does it violate forum rules?... anyway, yes, we are spoiled. But it is not just this game, it is society-wide phenomenon; usually observed before a hard crash.

Hey, where were you when I was powerleveling? Takes heck of a lot longer to do it as a rogue than an AOE-spamming mage. :p

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

True, are we supposed to be off topic all the time here?

Why it takes long, is it hard to hit one button and low-blow-a-lot?? :D

I still have 2 alts to level enough to be able to pick on flies... :) But still many alts at level cap behind you, sire.

This game can be fun, make profit, just someone needs to call right calls and fix b0rked things that do not require RW input, such as item shop, ruby shop, additional support, one server for AU folks that is located in AU... should be simple enough...

Unfortunately most of the Au folks have gone to play other games with the same ping as its no longer a deciding factor when choosing an MMO in Australia now.
Those of us that are left would just like to be integrated in some way to siege or Arena's or as we all know can't happen a server merge. We were small before the move now we're tiny.

This game is fun and the player base is great, a few tweeks in the right places would really set rom apart from the others. Really there's something for every type of player in this game.

Definitely spoilt. Without a doubt.

Problem is, it just isn't RoM that has to deal with spoilt players. It's every other game too.

Everyone things they are entitled to everything. I remember playing games 10 years ago+ and games were x1000000 times harder.

Edit: As someone who has ALWAYS played with 200 - 400 ping in MMO's/RPG/FPS/RTS/DoTA - style games. I do not understand why people are moaning about having high pings. I actually was doing 10% more DPS with lag than without it. :\

Watching you moan and scream the past few weeks has been definitely fun.

Sekrit, when you go to vending machine, place your money you except to get drink that is cold and refreshing. It's the same level expectation in game. Now, if vending machine is way too expensive, and just block father I have another one that is half-price, I will opt for that cheaper, for sure.

This is one of main reasons we are still loosing people.

Game is far from cap level 55, yet plus-ing is FAIL experience that is not just frustrating, but EXPENSIVE.

Little things like that ARE turning people away. Not that you have to pay RL money to plus it, there is still HUGE chance it will fail.

Compare it to vending machine from previous example, it is like if you get drink with hole on can.

Making game affordable will help attract new users, while providing better support will ensure to keep those new users.

What people are for, including me, is good experience. For example, if I go to movie theather, I expect for price of ticket to have clean comfortable seat, and to watch movie without interruption.

This game has a lot of fun to offer, but someone just needs to take care of all of those annoying little things...

And yes, we are spoiled if we think that if we invest money, we are required to have fun for it...

And again yes, GF can make much more money if more players come to play game. ATM, it is very hard to gain new players with extreme expensiveness of the game. And for worst, many of those that I know invested quite money in game, bad support and decision by leading team has turn away from the game.

I did not do what i was accused of.trust me if i had i would not be upset about this matter. Suspension aside if you buy diamonds with irl money and then lose items that were paid for with real money. Those items were obtained in a legal manner. If they go missing while unable to lig in then the issue is on gameforges end not mine.i can pm you later with details as i cannot state them here.i am currently going through all in game logs to prove my innocence.it will be proved because i have the logs and nowhere in them is there anything against the tos.the only thing i am guilty of is purchasing something from the ah at a good price.
