Runes of Magic US / AU

So... everything you wanted to know but didnt ask so far.

General rules of forum apply here.
Basically, talk, ask, hit with critics, ask whatever you want. Just don't cross the line with insults and severe flaming. And don't troll...coz I'm not feeding you here

Quoted from "Djed"

1. How often are you in the game and can you do anything about the gold spammers if you are in the game?
2. Are there plans for new events (not the annual ones)?
3. Why were the honor points capped at 25k, and why was there not any notification prior to the cap? Would it not have been better to give everyone at least a week to utilize their resources?

1. Not as much as I would. With all the things going on behind I simply have no time to play as much as I would. And about goldspammers... I'll repeat again. As a player I do not have any special powers ingame. Sure, I can imediatelly report someone and make sure they will end up banned but thats about it. Ingame support and Forum support are clearly divided and you all know that

2. There are always plans. But thing is that plans are changing and only official info you can get it by reading News. Don't expect from me that just because I'm on forum to have answer on all your questions. I'm Community Manager, however planning of Events, calculations when or what should happen (like events etc) is run by another department. Implementation of those things are again another department. And I'm here to inform you about it (on time), to gather your opinions, feedback and present it to product Team so they can be sure if stuff they're doing are good or totally disliked by community.

3. Ok, this clearly happened before I arrived. Yeah, basically, people had amassed honor points in the 200,000+ range to be top of the server rankings and the 6.0.0 patch capped all honor points at 25000. And now you feel cheated coz all your honor points are now down at 25000.
Well this happened long time ago really. I understand your oppinion and I will forward it further, to the people able to make decissions. Hope to get some answers.

Will the staffs be fixed ?? If you look at the new codex healer staff.. it has more Ph attc. then magical attc.
When will the new things (from SFM) be added to the CS ( cash shop) ??

Ok, first question is a bit problem to answr right now. Coz in order to answer I have to contact RW. Yeah Mage staffes are not increasing in magical damage inline with melee weapons increase in physical damage. A healer staff with Physical Attack is likely *intended* for use by a Druid/Warrior or Priest/Warrior. I've made little research and I see problem. Basically same as thing before. Questions like this simply do not expect me to answer you just like that. Especially since I cam on RoM few months ago. I will forward this complaint.

When will new things be added to CS? Well really I can't tell you this.
Sure, you can call me useless now, based on my answers you can actually. But it won't change the fact that some things are kept secret because company has reasons to keep it secret.
We're constantly having Shop promotions and I'm informed about them just some time before we announce it to you.

1. Are there any plans set in motion to have some more double exp weeks/weekends, seeing as there hasn't been one of them in a good number of months. I especially liked the once a month or once every 2 months double exp events that occurred last year.

2. It would indeed be nice to see GM's in game again, haven't seen one/heard one/been poked by one in ages.

3. This one's a personal question: Do you prefer bacon and eggs for breakfast or toasted waffles with a hint of brown sugar. Or perhaps none of the above? I find that a well-fed CM is a busy CM!

2. It would be nice to see GMs ingame, indeed. And Imho I'd like it. We have new Product Director and new Product CM so it is possible that we introduce GMs again. Since it happened before KA took over I don't even know why we stopped with GMs. Feel free to put this question on the list and when ThePit makes a Team SPeak meeting with Guild Leaders you can ask him.
3. black coffee without sugar + 2 cigarettes.
1. Again, question for Marketing Department. I mean, I have some information, but what you guys are asking me is to copy/paste stuff from my bussines calendar here. There are reasons why some things are not announced before they happen. However, I've included this question in my weekly report to Product Team and I hope to have some answer next week. Do NOT hesitate to poke me in case I forget to reply back.

Have you played this game prior to being Community Manager (if so, for how long?).

Unfortunatelly no, not before I was assgined here.
