Are you guys introducing new friends to play Regnum? why or why not?

leafdale · 08-13-2014, 12:22 AM

I'm thinking about the game's population.
It's a great game now, it's a fun game and the devs are making it more and more fun.

But I'm sure it's far from perfect and during good times and bad I'm always wondering: are we doing our bit to help intro the game to new players, doing stuff to help the population grow?

It's quite a hard slog. So many new games coming out: Wildstar, Defiance with its huge budget and TV shows, Tera, SAO, ESO.... Yet I feel Regnum still has one of the very best Open RvR formats out there.

Are we introducing new people and friends to the game? Are we doing all we can to help the game grow. What can we do to do more, and why or why not?

(i might post some more in this thread later)

I have told people I know, and talk to about games a bit about it, but they don't really care to try it. This game is an indie, small game, and didn't have the advertisement hype that other games have had, even on its couple releases. All of the hyped games rise and fall after some time and people move on to the next new thing. While this game does have a loyal player base, we have seen a lot of the older players trickling out and not all of them being replaced. It shouldn't be my responsibility to champion the longevity of this game. It should have it's own draw.

ETA: I wasn't meaning to sound callous, Regnum will always have good memories for me, and I'd love to see the new direction start changing the game in the right ways. I'd love to be able to come back to a polished game, and have a revitalized community to play with.

Problem is the grind. I feel uncomfortable suggesting a game to someone but having to add... "oh but before you can experience any of the awesome rvrvr you have to do months of boring grinding with a few buggy quests along the way."

I brought in two friends. They got to the point where they had to grind to advance, laughed and then quit.

Yup, the problem is grinding. I invited 2 friends already, both quitted around lvl30. We have to admit that there are many other games out there with much better graphics and instant action. I don't suggest playing regnum for my friends anymore.

That might have been the case about 5 years ago. However while NGD was stagnating on their RvR and focussing on things like dragon caves etc, the rest of the mmorpg industry where taking leaps beyond what we see in this game now.

I have not recommended this game because quite frankly there is a high chance that I would lose my credibility.

I've already did , and they left game before lvl 10.
To quote some of them:
"sucks graphisc"
"i've tryed but game is crashig"
"boring game"
"ohhh champions of regnum is old sucks regnum online"

To be honnest , i think better than rebranding just name NGD shall made entire revamp of NG3D and sharred trees of spells , classes and other thinks to be kept the same , but they chosen fast rebrand of same think ...i know is harder but faster than rebuild new MMOrPG ... wtv ..

A few of my friends have tried this game and quit. I even gave one of them a lvl 60 conj which he played for a few hours, but he later called me and said he couldnt bother cause of so many weird bugs (positionlag and huge pingspikes even tho he lives about 15km from the place the servers are located are just a few things that made him leave)

No i would not recommend the current regnum to anyone :/
