Not necessarily. There is, of course, grinding (till your eyes bleed).

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I'd love to see a video of somebody grinding a class to cap by killing mobs.

I wouldn't watch it, no but to have the video evidence of somebody having done that would be gold. And would deserve a spot in the gaming Olympics.

My guildies did exactly that on 2 classes. Was slow going but he eventually capped them(this was without xp event btw) so they need to do something to help levelling.

theres actually a lot more people than you think that have all 6 classes capped out... events like the last one we had make it super easy really... i could be 90 across all classes myself but i drink and im lazy. lol and i play multiple toons XD

LOL ok got it

I've been gone from RoM for about 2 years. When I was active, I had my wife, best friend, brother-in-law, and another relative all playing. We stopped when cap was 72, and Chapter 5 had just launched a few weeks prior. After leaving, we explored other games, and decided to come back. Upon returning (and some account / password / email remembering), all 5 of us were back and ready...kind of. My account and my brother-in-law's account didn't have our main toons on them, but our my friend, my wife, and our cousin did. We put in tickets, and my brother-in-law got a response that his toons were deleted by himself. Ugh. None of us deleted our mains, but that's the ruling so he won't get his toons back. My ticket is still in limbo, and I may be facing losing my main toon and the guild he created.

Question to those active: if you spent about $3k USD on Zeevex alone to gear up your toon and those you play with, and can't play what you've spent ALOT on, is it worth coming back and starting all over? Is the headache of re-gearing, waiting for +16 perfects, and ideal OD drops that took a lot of patience, gold, diamonds, and pure luck worth it? I hate to think his toons are gone (hell, I funded him when he wasn't able to work due to injury), and mine as well.

If it's not worth it, I've got about 300 Adventure pack codes on Zeevex for whoever wants 'em before it goes away. I myself am not sure I want to re-invest that much $$ into a hobby I love and potentially lose it all again. If I want to lose money, there's a gentlemen's club not too far away...

Well...the game is already at level 90, maybe 92 coming soon. With level 72 stuff, no matter how good it might be, you kinda have to take it as sunk costs. I doubt you can really do anything or sell anything near that level anymore. It's just not worth the ABL for the items or stats. Good luck and I hope your friend the best.

At least with the 72 gear you can quest the final few levels and not have to beg for FA runs or try to rebuild all the TP you don't get (but sorely need). It's expected to eventually re-stat / re-gear, but to start over just to try to survive w/ nothing to show for all the time you spend before...sucks.

Yup I get what you're saying, it really does suck. However, even if they wanted, if your friend's characters were really erased, there isn't anything Gameforge can do about it .

Well my guesswe should have a double or triple XP soon, since last year at this festival we had one, that would be the best time to come back to get level 90 and get gear, since level 92 hopefully will be here soon, you will have a bunch of people selling their old stuff out ;-). Also if the merge can get here NOW please, you might find even more gear available to you guys.

What server were you playing on?

I personally wouldn't bother coming back if you'd be starting all over again. The game is no longer worth sinking that much money into to restart.

We are / were on Govinda. Bad thing about 2x-3x XP is that it's great to PL some trash farm alt, but for a main toon, you want your TP, and I don't want to lose that.

It’s a common misconception that you somehow “lose” tp during xp/tp events when in fact the opposite is actually true.

I’ll try to explain: Let us say (hypothetically of course) that you have 1000 quests available to you in game that give both xp and tp. That number doesn’t change if you level faster or slower, you still have the same 1000 quests available to you. When you level more quickly during these events, your character WILL have a tp deficiency if you stop questing once you have achieve level cap, but that is because you still haven’t completed the 1000 quests - you stopped when you hit level cap. If you went and finished those quests you would have exactly the same amount of tp you would have gotten if you had not participated in the event.

Actually you would most likely have more. This is where a player actually "gains" tp during these events. When you do daily quests and farm mobs at a higher level you gain more xp/tp from those quests and mobs than you do from doing daily quests and farming mobs at lower levels. The longer you stay at a lower level, the longer you are restricted by your level from completing higher level quests and in many cases farming higher level mobs.

So you don’t “lose” anything, it just might “seem” like it until you do the rest of the quests and get where you would have had you not
leveled during an event. Where this tends to get tricky for some players is when leveling their secondary, tertiary, etc. classes. The reason for that is even though the number of quests still hasn’t change, your ability to utilize those quests does. There are simply not enough quests in the game to fully level classes other than your primary so the tp deficiency “seems” even larger for non-primary classes as you level

In the end, everything has a trade-off. Sure, a player can level more slowly and not really “feel” the deficiency as much. IMO, this isn’t really necessary as most class abilities are only marginally improved over 10ish levels anyway (i.e. go from 10% to 10.1, 10.2 –
11%). The nice thing is you get to chose your own approach - to each their own.

I hope that clarifies the point. I’ll check back to see if I’ve not been clear enough in my explanation or if there are questions about it.

You are correct you do not lose TP you actually will earn more. What you do however is lose TP in relation to your level and your ability to keep your skills in somewhat a balance to your level. Which puts your skills in balance with the mobs your will face in the environment When leveling normally you will get enough TP to level about 3 to 4 skills to the same level as your character. So a character without a XP/TP event normally going from level 89 to 90 will be able to level 3 to 4 skills from level 89 to 90 with the TP earned from quests dailies and killing mobs. Now most players try to have about 10 skills near or at at close to the level their character is. This does not include the skills that max out at level 50, So there already is a deficit of about 7 skills per level gained. This can somewhat be overcome when you reach the max level and continue to do quests (though many people stop doing quests when level cap is reached), dailies and kill mobs before the next time the level cap is raised.
However when there is a TP/XP event. This is thrown out of kilter. Since you get less of a TP bonus than an XP bonus from quests and dailies when you level your character you will get only enough XP to level 1 or 2 skills to max level each time you level. This results in your character reaching level 90/90 quite quickly but with only enough TP to have 1 or 2 skills at level 90. On your primary. If you are willing to play with only one or two useable skills this works. But it usually ends up with level 90 characters playing with most of their skills in the level 60 area which creates quite a disadvantage against the mobs.
I have 2 Scouts at level 90 as primaries, one with enough TP to keep my skills at level 90 and one that was leveled during events and a bad TP deficit the one with enough TP does triple the damage of the other due to the difference in skill levels. It takes about 25 to 30 million TP to go from level 89 to 90 in your skills depending on how many you use regularly. You only get 9 million normally when you level up. If you level up during a XP/TP event doing quests and dailies you may only get 3 million.
This is magnified in the secondary classes. Since less time is spent on secondaries when level cap is reached other than the skills that you can use when your primary is active many secondaries have only those skills leveled at all. So using the secondary class as your primary for anything is often impossible.
The point of most of the TP/XP events is to cause you to level quickly and feel good. But the hidden agenda is to make you buy TP potions and orbs so your characters remain playable and create greater profits.

Yeah, not looking forward to re-capping skills, and with another diamond sale, that makes 2 we've missed, and we always bought at least 1x $99 package each.

Well if you are willing to spend money on the game, wait for a daily reset ticket sale, get a zodiac pet that will allow you to get 10% more XP/TP on daily quest turn ins, if you got lucky and still have 20% or 50% XP/TP potions from GM's or event and 20% TP wich all stack together, you can farm TP pretty fast that way. Also get a guild that has some XP/TP bonus in their castle that will
make it worthwhile farming it. You can also get a pet with rubies that
will give you another 20% XP/TP and drop rate.


But i would get to 90/90 as fast as you can and then complete the quests in game, do your dailies daily and farm TP on mobs to increase the TP you need. Yes some will argue it's not worth the time blabla, but it's all in the eye of the beholder. When i have nothing to do, i will go farm for an hour or two, better than running around in circle in Varanas square and then complain they are TP deficient.


The game is worth coming back too and especially with the merge, those that say otherwise, it is their own opinions and choices to make.

Going to see what Aqualink finds on my ticket. If the result ends up being the same as my brother-in-law, all 5 of us will likely move to somewhere else. We collectively can get 1 person back to snuff, but he and I were the tanks (me a K/S, him a K/W), and the others are squishy casters who won't be able to help us at all. With it being another diamond sale, all five of us are anxious to abuse the VISA and get back to the fun.
