What do you mean OP? If you can get it from the box obviously its been approved by the NGD team as a non-OP item if they were OP items in the game you think you wouldn't hear other people complaining? and on top of that you make it seem like with this idea everyone will suddenly get the set of their dreams its not like that some people buy 2,3,4 up to 5 times before they even get a usable item talk more of an OP item? what are you talking about...

No, I think Gabburtjuh is right on this one. Although you may not get the item you wanted, the chance would be MUCH higher then. Non-premium players can't choose what drop they get either, so it's completely fine as it is.

edit: Oh, and there are indeed many OP items in-game. If you really signed up for regnum at nov. 2010 then you probably wouldn't know it, so I won't blame you.

Actually I've been playing since 07 and yes the chance is higher but notice the word CHANCE is still there and of course you can't chose your drops because you didn't buy whatever the creature is holding you get for free if non-premium players got to chose they're drops then there would be no point in boxes anyways I think this is a really good idea. Oh btw I play ra server. I can tell by the way you guys speak English that y'all are from Horus.

It's your idea.....
But there's clearly no point in arguing with you, because you won't change your point of view and because you are failing to see this idea from a non-premiums point of view.

Now, you can buy armor for example, get a good breastplate while you already have one and try it, for the part of armor you need, if you can pick whatever item type you want, you can just keep doing that over and over till you get a nice one, and you will try to sell all the ones that acctually suck, this has a few results:

1. The small item market in RO will shrink even more
2. NGD will lose money because it will get alot, yes, the chance increases alot since you have 100% instead of 17,67% chance on getting the part you want, easier to get what you want
3. This would improve abusability, since you can just buy alot of things of thesame type and flood the market with it, and get magns/boss gear fast for example

(didn't want to make a new post so: I am one of the premium users, it's not like it would give me a disadvantage...)

I just have to do a quick word on this.

Non-premium players are living the life. There is no significant advantage do being premium, other than the horse that gets you killed more often than not. There are only corners to cut, everything can and with this idea would still be able to be achieved without premium.

Most games with some form of premium content adds a huge advantage to the people that drop some coin. Some games you can buy your way to the highest of lvls with the best equipment, not doing any work. Some give such amazing equipment that non-premium players dont even have a chance. Non-premium players in RO have it so much better than that.

Im actually kind of sick of the attitude some non-premium players have. Its a harsh reality, but face it, premium people have a stronger opinion than yours. You are lucky NGD even listens to you, lets you make suggestions, try to change the game, without you even paying them a cent. Premium players help the game, help it build and grow. We support the team behind the game. We keep it alive. In a normal game with not so awesome devs, your opinion wouldnt even be listened too, they wouldnt care.

This all may come off as selfcentered and douchey, but really, be thankful that NGD provides you all the services they provide to the people that support their company.

To end it all, I do not agree with the suggestion of this thread. I think it wouls be too easy for premium players to get their gear. Im a premium player against this idea. The above was just my rant about how some non-premium players come off way too confident in themselves.

I concur premium boxes are fine as it is although it does suck to get 10 gauntlets in a row but it happens. I to am a premium player and the only changes I would like to see happen with premium is tradeable mounts & barbarian weapon boxes should only drop items the class can use.
I have several people that I am friends with that are either in a country they can't buy xim in or simply can not afford it that I would GIFT a horse to if NGD permitted it. Just my 2 cents.

Well if there were not for premium players this game would be dead but if there were not for the non-premium players this game would also be dead (empty of people = dead).
That said we have to admit that in general premium players do have a substantial advantage towards the non-premium buyers. If you cannot afford a horse you will very often get late to take part in some battle. Generally heavy premium buyers have better equipment than others. Players who cannot afford it, will try to get good equipment from drops, (super)bosses etc., but this take time and many players do not have the time or patience for that and get frustrated when they get killed because the others have better gear. Skills are very important but in case of equal experience, fights get decided by better gear. Thats a fact.
Of course NGD needs money to survive, like every company, but I think that the best gear should have to be available for everyone and not only for premium buyers. There are many other ways or items that can provide a really good source of income. Its all a matter of thinking.

Oh dear god, I hope they do this, I spend god only know how much money on my hunter trying to get a BP and Legs, but I just kept getting paulds and gaunts, and one helmet! It was SO not worth it anyway, because while all the items were epic and magic, the bonuses were so low I can't believe I wasted the money!

I swore I'd never buy another box again. But if they implement this idea, I think I might.
