no class is should be foreced to pay premium to exist i dont want regnum to become a free game were free = free untill you realise you NEED to pay to play properly

So knights are the class that needs premium to level?:P
what to say but we got screwed again.

And we can't even paint our shields :-/

*sigh* the noble hero in shining armour i signed up for seems more like a trampy rust buket with BROKEN printed on his head =(

maybe i should start lvling my lock/marks more =/

you can still play for free. Just kill low lvl mobs which drop gold an/or jewels.

The problem is that it does not effect all classes in the same way. I do understand that, but it was like this before. Leveling a knight and a mage is a huge difference. Sad but true.
Now, with decresed loot rewards this gap between knights (also barbs, but not that much) and ranged classes is even bigger than before.

Thats the bit i dont like if you read my post in the sticky on the top of general discussion then you see why i personaly dont want to spen hours killing 0 XP mobs for little money =/

This will do nothing but cause everyone to create a second character (or account for that matter) do farm for gold. I've found that my conjurer is still able to pull in quite a bit of $$.

Thereby making hunters jobs EXTREMELY easy?

Well, seems like the'll be no knights anymore

we're gonna be flooded with warlocks, hunters and marksmen again

I agree that its not really fair to classes with more expenses than other
but this really shouldnt be a problem if ngd just reduced the repair and arrows cost just a little.
Really think they should add an auction house and storage before doing this change, its good that they do something.
I think new players will take the lead an show us old bastards how commerce is going to work from now on.
