Regnum should have NO PvE. Or, it should be optional for loot and extra experience when war is slow. There should be a training area where you can kill other players for the first few levels, then you're able to join the wz straight away. Obviously this would mean a major overhaul which won't happen, so please ignore this. We can dream.

This is the one of the best suggestion I've read so far in this entire fucking forum.

There is already a low level wz, you can join and try it out (rather could) if there was enough low level (or any at all) to try it out with. A quest is connected to it in the first town. Just for the record ^^

If I were a casual player, I'd have stopped playing when I found out that mounts can be bought only with Xim. Since obviously you do need a mount in game like this that does not offer free fast travelling, I was disappointed about that but decided to give this a try anyway. This was first 'this game sucks' moment, at level ~10. Later I also noticed that premium content is not shared with characters... Seriously?

I stayed cause I was recruited in a new clan immediately once I got out from beginner zone, felt like I was in active game. Made boring quests and finally got that '5 players from enemy realm' quest and of course went to WZ at 30, only to find out that I cannot do anything but die and run away. This was second 'this game sucks', but I was too curious about how RvR is when level 50 is reached.

Finally hit 50, had some knowledge what to do in WZ and I thought I was ready. Wrong. Sadly, nowhere near to be ready. What can level 50 hunter do in WZ, other than grind and get ganked? Not much, since either I got killed by Datten or I was unable found enemies that I could actually fight with. This was third 'this game sucks' moment and I was pretty fed up already since I had invested so many hours just to get killed.

Well, glad that I had some nice players around me, who motivated me to become WM and finally hit 60. Yay. All done, now I can gank like a boss and fight with anybody? Still nope. Turns out, I don't have those epic jewelries and other stuff that all cool players are running with. And even if I had, where is the fun when there is no one to fight with as Haven is nearly empty. So here I am, fourth time saying 'this game sucks' and asking myself why did I not see the pattern before? Why I threw my money for developers who have not fixed the most obvious problems?

Regardless of that, I wanted to take a look if grass is really greener on the other side of fence and grinded my RA hunter to 55 relatively quickly. Busy server, much action, but many player I know are not there and all my stuff is in Haven...

That is the short story of mine. I wanted epic battles, exciting hunting and loads of fun, but those were fairly rare moments. And if I had given up at first let down, I'd have nothing positive to say about this game. It'd be 0/5 stars.

So, how to increase population? New players will stay when these are achieved:

• Mount must be either rentable OR permanent with gold*
• Premium content must be shared with all characters in account
• Premium content must be tradeable
• WZ must be place where lowbies can join too*
• Lowbies at WZ must be able to fight against level 60 WM's with slight chance of winning in fair PvP situation*
• Quests must be interesting
• Realm tasks must be selectable by type (loot, kills, letter)
• Leveling must be much more faster, for example: 1 to 50 in 2 weeks with quests only
• Jewelry must be accessible for everybody AND they must not be overpowered*
• Characters must be synced between servers OR servers must be merged
• Player must be able to create character in all realms*
• Auction houses must be combined so that you can do business with players from other realms too*

*It works very well in another MMORPG that has RvR(vR), has no subscription fees and is very popular, so don't cry about this point. Or cry if you will, but it leads to nowhere.

And before any of these few points that I was able to type out at the moment, all bugs must be fixed! I cannot believe it that there are bugs which have existed (according to some threads around this forum and game chat) for more than few months. This is kind of a 'red alert' for me, it shows that either project is just a cash cow or there is no developers who know what they are doing and instead of fixing bugs they create more content that may increase the amount of bugs (and of course more money if it is premium). Bugs happen, I know that, but to let them hang around for longer than week or two is unacceptable and unprofessional.

That being said, I see no reason to support developers who are not using the money they receive for making their product better. There is the root of this problem why players (new or old) leave: developers.

It would be nice to see that I am wrong with my statement about developers, but I am not sure will I be here to admit it, if it ever even happens that is.


That's all I have to say. Take care.

This is just the tip of the iceberg because there have been many other similar posts, and there is definitely room for more constructive criticism, but +1.

Someone needs to nail posts like these to Adrian's refrigerator because we don't want big updates concerning big things. We want big updates concerning the smallest aspects of the game like the above mentioned (which are just a small example of what needs to be done).

That's the problem. Too many people have already moved there :P

Why is RA even available in countries that don't have Spanish as a primary language. I don't seen Valhalla since I'm not in Germany, so why is RA on my server list? It would at least stop the majority of people who switch from switching.

Because RA is and always has been an international server from the very start. Why shouldn't I be allowed to play RA when haven is dead during my timezone?

That's not even the main problem. Many people (including myself) have top notch gear and characters already well setteled in haven. Moving to RA would not be the option because of the current uber-boring grind curve and not having your best equipment in RA.
Since, NGD already mentioned that it would be impossible to transfer items service vice, what i suggest it to allow RA and even valhalla players to log in to haven just like amun.
Alsius has the dominant population in haven, syrtis in RA and ignis in valhalla.
You can put the German and Spanish chat tabs for those language speakers that acts as a realm and commerce tab. General and clan tags remain the same.
Best,
