pre-invasion server
 

i'm curious, how many of you would prefer to play on a server pre invasions .


i guess, IF such a server is possible, then worldwide without any language districtions.

Well I'm kind of torn apart there... There's much stuff missing in the old Regnum. But you can't really say the current Regnum is a base to build upon. :/ That stuff is now there, but NGD managed to break the game while implementing it.

Damn here should be option i don't know :P

hm i guess "idk" in that case is just no ...

hehe.... i'd like to try that server out(don't play too much time)

i*m just imaging a server (prolly p2p) with old mechanics ...

anyone would be free to play normal servers ....

I'd pay a moderate subscription fee for such a server.
However, it would need to be pretty high populated (at least 200 players online average), which I think might be hard to achieve.

LOL

we just got owned so hard XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

No.
I like the game better now than i did around 1.0 or just before.

If I get a pre "auto swing" server, then possibly i would play there.

was there a game version with no auto-hits? I've been here for so long, but never heard of this...

It was the update that allowed warriors to hit while moving, Megrim (dev) called it auto hit in a thread.

I would go there immediately. Even if i had to grind from lvl 1 again.

Same! Hell yea!

Conju played without devotion, because all his spells was instants - only fast staff. We got possibility to regen without been damaged. Possibility to cast while running - most awesome thing ever. Not going into combat mode on support spells - this was so so nice.

And many other stuff. If all this comes back i will grind new char even with how it was called erm the stuff it lowered hp after 2-3 hours and all went to fight after. Ah yes fatigue. Even this will be bearable!

Pointless
 

I bet NGD removed sources of old good regnum. And won't rewrite it again

They use a version control system like everyone else.

When will NGD react on our threads....?

I think, no I'm almost sure I would play on a pre-invasion server! I wouldn't even mind to donate money for it.. Damn, since these last couple of weeks/months.. the WM update really made me miss the old RO!

+33 votes for a pre-invasion server on horus-forums atm.
would be interesting to know, what the spanish speaking community is thinking about this subject^^

another option could be, to make "pre-invasion" open source by any chance?
it's the old engine, so no worries for ngd with their "new game".

:)

I, myself, am VERY guilty of this, but I think people are looking back with fond memories, but are forgetting what a pile of crap RO was pre 1.0

Don't get me wrong, the game was incredibly fun, you could play for hours without getting bored, the community was awesome etc. etc.

BUT.

The graphics were bad (though not a deal breaker,) the game was unbalanced (4k SC's anyone?) there were graphical faults, memory leaks.. Good god the memory leaks. Each update made the game literally FUBAR for a few hours, the game would be unplayable... But. People would shrug off these problems and enjoy the game anyway.

So, a Pre-1.0 server is a nice idea, and I'm sure it would be fun... But I'm not sure people would want an EXACT replica.

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea really. I have many, many, many fond memories from that time, but apart from it being very unfeasable for NGD, it would also fracture the community between ANOTHER server, which is something I'm sure none of us really want.

Pre-1.0 was a very special time, but every dog has its day.

Question of taste. Old models looked better to me. All new lightning features? I have them turned off.

4k, 3,2k, whats the difference to char with 3k health?

They are still here, old ones, new that replaced old...

Now new update, make game foobar for good, old game relayed on fighting, nowadays game relies on running and waiting, and this is crazy.

:lighten:!!!!

Oh, oh. Since when you're so confident that you speaking for other people?

This one isn't yours for sure.

I agree with everything but this one. The game was unbalanced, but it has become way worse. Especially due to the new movement system, we still suffer from the changes made there. For sure, strafing and stuff is fun, but everything needs to be adjustet to this.

I think the game got better and better since when I started at least. The only thing I ever hated about the changes was the recently added new saves which totally ruined fort wars in my opinion. And also the ghost swings:P Other than that, everything else is nostalgia;)

Anyone remember when this game was all about who had more sultar's? God that was annoying:P
Well now it jus changed to who has more wm's online^^

Though, another thing that's bad I think is the tele'ing around everywhere. I havn't seen a good bridge fight or even open area fight forever it seems.

Yes you can have.
It's more smart to have more alternative at your bussiness.If one go down other can keep you up.
The issue is :if profit from such a server will cover costs.
I will pay also moderate for such a server.
Features as chat in wz and old spells balance from 1.0.7 can bring lots of fun for some ppl even they was not eye candy.

About open source engine i am not agree at all.
All open engines and games bring more troble also.Maybe some of ppl will fix issue but some of them will create troble also.Balance of make better and make more bad allways will be more ppl that will exploit something aroud.
RO it's not so bigger game with tons of players to aford a open source game.This can make company to go down.

Also RO can have two different dirrections:
-Regnum Warmaster-->going ahead with this idea(invasions);(Horus)
and
-Regnum Basic that can go -->Regnum (crafting, questing,chat etc ppl can have more ideas)(Old style server)(maybe pay 5$ or 10$ /month) for such a server ...but repeat "maybe" it's a free to chose option.

more versality in skillsettings and playstyles, without doing a bad Job: Skilling determined the strenght and weaknesses of your class. Classes in 1.0.7 seemed much more balanced than now, therefore the classes where equally spread on the servers.

In the Past I searched on youtube for a native mmo, and eventually landet here. Graphic-wise it looked less demanding, so I tried it.. and <3 it. A never forgetable RvR-exp in my opinion.

What are we having nowadays?
In my case: A significant fps-drop (avg 32 vs avg 15), bulky looking chars, an RvR-game which favors the strongest rlm. (e.g meni 18 vs 46, taking half of them down doesn't matter, they simply teleport back with backup. "Unknowingly" frustrating the small rlm for their own fun)
*sad face*
Yes, if I had the option to chose between Regnum Online 1.0.7 and 1.7.5, I would abandon 1.7.5.
NGD, I like the trade-channel, the ring-quests, the idea of daily kill-quests even,
and your forts are looking nicely done (adorable details), but they require another playstyle, and favors due to their huge size marks and barbarians. (my taste: half lenght, half width, half height, shrink it ;-) ).

1.0.7 +trade-channel +ring-quests +ngd 2.0 in old-school-char-look (therefore lesser polygones,lesser demanding than even the old 1.0.7, which favors widely used intel gpus. And also: no miniskirt-mages anymore)
That's how its supposed to be. :/

Eventually character-transfers to this new server (cooperate with game-samba, gamigo for that), not that lvling again would matter, but I think every Player has something in or on their chars which they can't abandon.
Be it a costume, op-jewelry or presents from lost or absent players, it resembles a part of your ingame-history. Yes, I know it sounds naive and sentimental ;P

Benefits of a Regnum Classic server: having done something for the community, possibility in gaining back old left-behind players, lesser gpu-demand, which could begin a "the best RvR-exp on even a netbook"-campaign, zero effort in backups (just implementing bugfixes and performance-optimizations)
removing the uncertain, which eventually express in a higher income through xim.

I wouldn't want to play. People are acting like there will never be an update again. NGD will try and change the game to our liking. I've played this game for a long time, and there has been some tough roads. I enjoyed Beta a lot, even if the game wasn't completed, BUT I had a lot of fun. As much fun as a lot of people had pre-invasion. Still I wouldn't want the game to go back into the ol' beta days.

Some of you are losing so much faith in NGD, is it even worth playing their game anymore with such attitude?

Try playing alsius/syrtis during US time, when ignis invades every day, that time, or even during EU time, most fights are fun, but you'll find everytime you loggin the gems have been gone again etc.

I wouldn't want to play in Alsius here, half the realm went to Raven because Horus became too hard for them.

You think it is so easy for us to invade now? This isn't like before when Warmasters were introduced. We would invade as we please. We have a lot of fail attempts trying to get those gems. If Ignis invades at A.M Hours that's their problem, staying up late. We get invaded during my morning sometimes, you don't see me here using it as an excuse. If you really don't want to get invaded, if it's bothering you that much. Simple, stay up... a few others stay up as well. Challenge the night crew, we aren't many. Oh wait? you have a life? Okay, than live with it. NGD will not remove US players from Horus, so this time zone imbalance will be here for ever.

/end_rant?

I was just giving you the reason for the ppl that quit, but like most ignis, you're a ignorant .... that doesn't care about others, just want to "win"

3 years a go was same....ignis in every night made invasions.
But a char had RPG and game was less random.
Was more a PvP game.

I would definately play exclusively on a server with the old game. Ive found every update a step down in quality and have mainly stayed because of all the time i have invested and a few good friends.
I actually quit for about a year and a half after the update where they removed the ability to attack while moving for all classes except warriors. True that update was mainly a hunter and lock nerf I believe, But pretty much everyone I talked to at that time felt it ruined the gameplay (except of course warriors) because even though you could still be successful at fighting, it wasnt nearly as fun or dynamic, and many players quit at that time.
If given the option I would gladly delete my horus char if that was required and would probably be willing to pay a subscription and start from scratch all over again.
I realize the vocal minority who have always lived in the forum wouldnt want to go to that server because they pretty much drove the ruination of this game as it is (probably more than Ngd). they can stay here and good riddance, they made their bed they should be happy to lie in it.

So much true....in fact game it's made by minority from forum or NGD not by player that spend hours in game.
I can tell you lots of ppl that never posted in forum but play 24 from 24 and lots of ppl that play 5 minus ,i saw them very rare in game but have over 5k posts.
I posted first time in forum after 1,5 years of play when i saw how worst become the gameplay ...when i told:"Wtf it's happening with this game ?!?!"...and i come in forum to read.

Then we had all about unstopable barbs renting and cutting down with 1,5-2k normals, now its even better you are cut down by barbs with extra life, speed and resisting all CCs:). Sorry men terror chains were never ever so annoying like babrs tide now. At least terror chains need skills, cooperation and synchronization and locks were dying often in the process.

BTW when recently have you seen terror being cast or were hit by it? In last 2 months I maybe seen terror being cast like 2 times and don't remember being hit by it.
And this is my personal question to NGD why haven't you just delete that spell? It clear that your nerf completely destroyed best spell warlock had, and nobody use it any more.

I voted no, I like invasions, its warmasters I don't like. It increased lack of balance, make people lazy (noo...I won't horse it its to far, I can die, I will wait for portal) changing that game into waitmasters and it killed bridge fights and open fights. With new "Devasteting" feature it even killed hunting and created even greater realm unbalance.

What he said, +1

A pre-invasion server isn't possible.

Hehe immediatelly to the point

Lol Wyatt. Without closing thread u killed it :D

Why not?

How hard would it be?

And if people were willing to p2p, wouldn't that generate more income for NGD, everyone talks about profits and the need to make money, so again, WHY NOT?

One thing, It would probably kill horus, but well its almost dead anyway, so no biggy
