I say it goes with every random effect in ROM, Runewaker don't seem to put resources to keep the game going, just check the latest instance, it's been what now? 2 months and still can't get it to work. Runewaker programmers? probably kids in a sweat shop working for rice if they are lucky. What about the merge? yes 1 year and still no clue when that will happen, fewer and fewer people on the servers but everything is fine, less people for Gameforge to worry about if the merge does come.
Lack of communication, lack of interest in the community, lack of basic content working properly, but keep promoting Orcs unchained!! nice big booth and game shows to attend with that one. Sadly Runes of Magic is so low on their priorities that i see it shut down before any merge gets here
They also just hired 5 veterans from the gaming industry this week, guess by veterans probably meaning a free desk job for their retirement. Would love to see them prove me wrong
But enjoy the randomness of location issues, half hard mode bosses on easy mode, this game gets more random everyday that goes by. Crafting festival used to be end of June, beginning of July, guess will get it just before Halloween now
