Is there a way we can promote RO with this?

Promote regnum online? It can't handle it's current user load. During peak playing hours the game is sluggish to the point of being hard to play with pings continuously spiking. For U.S. players even during the best hours our pings average around 190 to 200ms using broadband. Why promote a game so that new users try it out and are displeased with the server quality? And you say free game? No, a lot of us pay or have payed.

no i dont, also i think the lag is bad allready a couple more hundred could kill ro forever NGD needs a better server

Mattdoesrock · 04-30-2008, 07:41 PM

I use it

I think that it would be a good idea, but only once NGD has made the nessesary server improvements to be able to handle both the current and future number of players.

The peak hours are actually in the mid-afternoon where I live so I do not experience as much lag as everyone else since I play mostly later at night.

Also, people choose to pay only because they might be too impatient to wait and level up the old-fashioned way. It is possible to get to lvl 50 without using any boosters (hell, I got my hunter to lvl 50 without using xim, proving you do not have to either).

I know that there are plenty of people out there who are willing to pay so they can level faster, or go places faster. The more of those people who play this game, the more revenue that NGD receives, meaning they can afford to hire more people, thus helping to improve the quality of the game, which makes all of us happy.

NGD should start advertising more both there own game and others to bring in some extra £££

We are happy that you choose to play when no one else plays. I am not sure how that has a bearing on the fact that the network is completely saturated during regular game hours. It is irrelevant as to why we justify paying. A good amount of us do pay and expect to be able to play during the hours others play since the game is based on interacting with other players.

Irrelevant? Well...rather than complaining about how bad the lag is ( although complaining can be fun sometimes

), I think promoting the game, thus luring in more people willing to pay, will increase the money that NGD receives. This could possibly help solve the lag problem, and is still better than just sitting there talking to your friends about how NGD should solve the lag problem. Plus with more people playing on the servers, NGD might be forced into creating more servers or even update their existing servers to accommodate the new players. Besides, what have you got to lose?

staticfang is my xfire account

I've used it since it was back in beta stage

The more hours of regnum played while xfire is open, the better the rank

If every1 from regnum that could use xfire actully did, we'd have regnum around rank 180 or lower
