I have been around for two years, and two be honest the game in most regards is about 1000 times better than it used to be when it comes to most aspects.
The lag is greatly improved, FPS is not bad at all now, and the game is for the most part pretty smooth. I think the balance is not too far off, but I remember when the balance was way off. I think that marksmen is almost complete, conjurer is good, warlock is close to good, but knights and barbarians need some spells fixed and added. I think a complete revamp needs to be done on the knight class, but that is beside the point. I think that the resists/evades/blocks are extreme, but could be greatly reduced if certain area spells were toned down. What I don't like is the repair costs, the little gold, the fatigue, and reduced xp. It forces you to buy premium even if you don't like it, because if you don't your sunk. Obviously, I think this Economy project was a scheme for people to start buying repair hammers. No one can afford repairs, so they have to buy the hammer because the drops don't give any money. I mean I just think that is wrong. Don't get me wrong I am all in favor of supporting my friends at NGD, but this brute force tactic needs to stop, and stop fast. I feel as though I am being bullied into a corner that is almost impossible to get out off. I just miss the days when spells were added, or changed because the balance was off, but then again I am not because at least everyone is used to it. I think if we could get this Economy thing sorted out, and not "force" people to buy premium it would greatly improve peoples mood, and for god's sake if you are going to add a premium item; it is a no brainer to introduce a drop rate scroll. There is no need to punish players by cutting down xp, making no money from drops, raising repairs. I understand NGD needs money, but there has to be another way or something. I am ok because I can afford to buy premium, but I really do feel sorry for people that have to grind it out, and then can't afford repairs. I think it is wrong, but I have also grinded without premium on several of my characters. Just saying, I think some re direction in the aspect of premium, and the economy along with some balance changes that we all know about would greatly help this game. Oh, and making fort wars more attractive would just be an added bonus. Sorry if this post is a little jumbled, but I am tired.

Personally, if they came out with drop scrolls and gold bonus scrolls I will probably buy some xim just for that. But then again, it is very unlikely they will introduce such things... I also doubt that NGD will swallow their pride and get rid of fatigue, bump up the xp, and fix the in-game economy since they stupidly placed all their eggs in one basket and focused on only making money from leveling and annoying running quests. Heck I bet that the next thing they will do is reduce the running speed even more to increase their horse sales...

Nah, the economy really isn't that bad if, and this is a big if you conserve like scrooge. Now at 50 I don't know how I am going to pay for war repairs, and arrows.

i dont think so
sorri but even though im a new player and only level 12 and started playing couple days ago but i think that your character shouldnt be transfered to horus server because i dont think NGD is doing it for anyone else and plus Horus is a new server with alot of people starting new characters so if NGD transfers your charater which might be heaps strong already because you have been training on a server which has been there from the start.. do get what im saying? if not well .. lets just say.. you might have an advantage because your not starting new.

Start a new character, get to know people, have fun leveling, and when you get bored just log back into RA to get your war fix. I promise it's not that bad guys, but I do get where a lot of you are coming from because I have a lot of characters that I have invested a lot of time in. I don't think that migration should be implemented for at least awhile because people need a chance to learn the game.
