I appreciate the effort put in game, the wonderful community here, and the constant development of game. I see all the hard work that goes into running a place like this, and I usually try to keep my opinions balanced and complaints to a minimum. A few recent things are beyond my capability to ignore.

Yesterday I finally got myself some xim, since I could not find a good tunic for my warlock. Bought 3 platinum armour boxes and 1 gold one on warlock. I got... 3 pairs of gloves (I already had 2 pairs of epic gloves) - gives me 5, and a conjurer tunic! I understand this is random.. but 3 pairs of gloves is a bit ridiculous. I love supporting game when I have some money, since I understand money is needed to run any business, but this does not encourage supporting!
This combined with lack of Alsius chat - makes trading impossible.

Next...
The last event (rosettes) - I lost all my rosettes because some people were abusing system. Than when I decided I had no chance to participate since I could not put enough time, it turned out time was extended (of course many of us did not know). I figured... well, happens.

This time I spent time searching for feet etc. I had some drops on different characters (since I also warred and supported others), so I used account stash to transfer to hunter... Effect?! All transfered well to stash, when retrieved... I have 1, 19 and 20 Halloween drops left from maybe 250-300 each that I had before. Even original ones I had on hunter are gone. Of course gold for stashing/retrieving were taken from my tab. If trading between your characters using stash is not allowed/problematic... please tell us?

There are a few other things I have issues with, but I will stop here. The point is... I play fair, try to organize community, help as much as I can. Try to support game by putting some money into it.
As I said, I love the game, and I appreciate the effort and wonderful work NGD does. I am very disappointed though, that little things are ignored, and this makes a game difficult to enjoy. And I would appreciate if my time and money put into game are respected as well.

agree on that,the game is good,but there are MANY little things that must be fixed or review anyway.Are those things that make ppl unhappy most of the time.
For lucky box,i got the same problem tryng to buy gems,weapon for my knight,for my hunter,for my marks,but all the stuff i use on them is droppped stuff cause PLATINUM box never give somethings good.
And i'm sorry to say that,but if someone ask me about, i ever give ppl advice to don't buy lucky box,because platinum box are really really crappy to be PREMIUM items.
I spent and waste lot of real money,so i can say that for sure...

Then so sorry you lost all your quest items.
I tryed to drop the mask on my marks founding big pumpkins,i founded 67 bigpumpinks,have you seen the mask on my marks after 67 pumpikns??!!Well me not!
So i'm ignoring completely the event.

Hey dz,

I feel your pain. Unhappiness and dissatisfaction have become synonymous with Regnum Online over the years.

"Get Ximerin: Be Premium!" has always really meant "Get stuff you should've been given for free anyway because we like to make the game so rediculously hard". While actual premium users get very little satisfaction either because the premium item selection sucks, being mostly aimed at milking the game mechanics for money, rather than giving players some awesome things.

But well... this is just something you have to grow and accept if you want to continue to play. It is NGD's business model, and whether we like it or not, it seems to be working for them, as the game is still running. And to be honest I'd rather it keep running than be gone completely.

Kind regards.

There is another issue with one of the halloween quests, the collect candy one,
If you decide to collect the 5000 candy required, you will find it will weighs 50Kg, enough to overburden most people

I started to collect it, but after seeing 500 of them weighed 5kg i though umm no

simons_pl · 10-31-2010, 11:40 AM

Lucky boxes are risky thing - only time I use it was on Amun server and I've never get anything interesting. Dunno if it still works, but when you cant sold what you get, it could get really annoying. But in the other hand, many people could say that there is a balance between premium and free players, but is it fair enough when people spent their money for some loot?

Anyway I regret one change in premium content - why there is no longer an armor paint? I know it wasnt work perfectly (I've tried once to paint my Necromancer tunic and it wasnt worth a while - when I use a green paint on a black part of the tunic, it didnt paint to green, only gets a little bit greeny on black background), but if it'll be fixed, it could be a perfect way to customize our characters.

There is armor paint. But it won't show up if you play in fixed pipeline.

simons_pl · 10-31-2010, 04:37 PM

@Myxir: Thanks mate, didn't know that :-) Some time ago I've switched to fixed pipeline to get more fps, gonna set back and check it again. :endofofftop:

Shwish · 11-01-2010, 06:40 AM

I've had that exact same issue when using platinum boxes for armour. Every single time i use it i get gauntlets. I've purchased alot, never got anything else besides guantlets. I just spend my money on costumes and paints nowadays.

Nekoko · 11-01-2010, 09:27 AM

NGD the account issue really needs to be addressed. Please. People shouldn't have to worry about using items they put in their stash. I've also heard of the whole if one tab gets too full items start to vanish. How about putting some hard limits on how many different things we can carry to account for any possible bugs?

Until we hear otherwise from NGD I would advise everyone to not put stacked items in their stashes unless they're arrows, especially their magnanite's. I've never had problems with armors or weapons for the record. I also really hope NGD is restoring missing items.

Sorry you lost your items DZ ;_;

Nice post but NGD doesn't care. Guess you know now that buying ximerin must be taken precaution. Buy the important items such as Horse, Engrave Socket, Potions, and Warbanners. Otherwise its all scam.
