I don't recall that I've ever personally believed price increases were intentional in a malicious manner. I think it happens because businesses need to make a profit in order to survive

No.. not even that... overall restructure is not aimed at raising the prices at all..

Then how come from all the changes in the past 2 months, not 1 was done to benefit the player, instead just IS changes and raising the price ?

Kinda sad to see these changes took plance since your "arrival", even tho you have hundreds of feedback from players. In the end, from all the AMA etc, nothing has change for better, just like the empty promises we had for years.

It looks like some prices changed. One of our polish players Zeno made a post about it. Yes it's in polish, but you'll recognize the items by their icon. Anything with two prices listed has had a price drop.

• Ulepszenia

• Niezbędnik

• Styl

• Dom

FYI everyone, the discussion has been moved here to keep the question and answer threads clean. Discussion still open, just mind the usual forum rules.

The post is purely about diamond cost, not about item cost. They're making the off-sale diamonds less expensive, and also making the diamond sales a bit less of a boost. The goal is exactly as stated in the pasted text: "smooth out the pricing".

Since we haven't had a diamond sale since it went into effect, the only result so far is that if you spent 20$ on diamonds 3 days ago you'd get a smaller quantity of diamonds than you'd have gotten if you spend 20$ today.

Such greedy. So faceslap. Wow.

What I take away from this is that the playerbase is so used to feeling 'milked' that they can't imagine any change might have a benefit.

Maybe my opinion will change when the first diamond promo rolls around, but until then I'm content.

Youtube videos or twitch streams are always great, if one of you guys is a streamer I can try to arrange to get your stream on our Steam Shoppage. Steam is probably our biggest source of new players.

Quote from Bluesons00

Also if you would like to learn a little more about the game itself, i would recommend you to check out my Runes of Magic channel on youtube, where i have for many years & still are promoting the game (For free), worth mentioning. Link in signature.

Ask and ye shall receive, Phelan . Bluesons may well be the longest running streamer of RoM. I certainly can't think of anyone to challenge that distinction.

Since there aren't enough submissions to choose from, we will extend this event until Thursday Sept 27, at 23:59 PACIFIC TIME.

Please stick to the brief, folks. One question each, without repeating the previous ones. Many posts here are just right. Others seemed to have missed the instruction post entirely.

Csendeshalal, lets see if we can't find a teamler who speaks Hungarian to help you.

Quote from Groot

can you create a mage handed hammer for druid/rogue ?

When you say mage handed hammer - 1H ? 2H? offhand only? Just to check

Let us know when you meet Fierce Gale in the Inferno Gardens ;D

Edit, for EN we will shift all by two days. Submissions to end Sept 26, and voting ends Oct 2. Thanks for your patience.

For some reason on aeterna even maint doesn't bring them back. Rather than use a GM command to fix the quest and risk damaging the character.... just spawn many and let the user kill as needed. No risk there, it completes same as usual way- by kill count.

Good morning Phelan! Why is Siege War still in Beta?

Dear Rommunity -

We will run a question and answer thread with Gameforge's VP of Customer Communication - Phelan! First we will spend a period of time with an open thread for gathering questions from players, then the thread will close. Don't be shy! The moderation team will then sort, remove duplicates, and do a general cleanup. Then Phelan will reply.

RULES

_{there's always rules, right?}

1. Usual forums rules apply - no flaming, no image-only posts, no one-word posts, etc.
   • Our behavior in this thread will certainly influence whether this Q&A is a recurring event or not.

   • Teamlers who speak assorted languages fluently might add their own help in such a case.
5. Please avoid usage of idioms, cliches, acronyms, and other text usage that might be tricky to decode for participants who speak multiple languages.

We had some ticket about 'no spirit cores, cant do quest'. So I made a few (ok a lot) and then world shouted that they were up for people to finish their quests. Presumably more than one person needed it. This isn't the first time we've intervened in this way and probably won't be the last.

With server maint they should be gone again.

Quote from Hirundo

Maybe add some achievements too? One option is to bind those with existing in-game title system, so that old players got the achievements automatically if they have same titles in-game.

The old server character is a different toon that the one on the "Steam" server, even if it has the same name and class combo. Just like alts on the other servers, each character on this server needs to earn its own titles.

It only seems fair to me.

GF used to transfer one set of wings(sans stats and refining gems) and one mount for you between two servers on the same acct. They may be willing to do this also to the new server on the same account.

perhaps frogster used to do such a transfer, but to my memory GF did not. These days support only transfers items that were bought on wrong server by mistake and only if the error was recent.

Quote from ILoveDIaPromos

Prices are way over the top , for anyone wanting to buy the diamonds from your site to purchase the pack is almost spending 2x the money they would on steam. You need a diamond promo asap to balance the item shop price and the steam price.

steam: 75$ canadian

Ingame shop : 3.4k diamonds = 145$ canadian

feels kind of slimey if you ask me

They actually know this. I spoke to them and got this explanation, basically. [...]

I think when you say you spoke to 'them' you need to be more specific.
