What happens to people's current subscription? (I just bought 2 - 6 month subscriptions this month o.o)

[robinsuu]

You said something about a kafra point conversion menu that's supposed to pop up. I can't see it anywhere. Do you need any special browser-addon for it? I have clicked pretty much every button on both the RO and WP-website now without success.

Edit: Don't tell me you have to actually have WP points to be able to see the kafra popup? Would really appreciate if someone could reply at least..

the plus sign next to the account name that you are activating the code for (on the left side of the screen)
click on the ragnarok game coupons tab
past the code into the box and youre good to go

In reality the extra offerings will be more than it is currently, but what it won't control is access to the game on premium servers. Everyone that thinks about this has asked almost immediately about the bot stopping, and for that we have an answer that only premium accounts can create characters on the current premium servers, thus an initial payment, or a special invitation would be needed to create a character on our current Premium servers. Valkyrie players will get an option of the premium account as well, but you can create a few characters on Valk without an initial purchase; thus Valkyrie is still a free server.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. That's a first.

F2P allows you to access the game but with less than subscription benefits. If you have subscription you get better exp etc.

+50% exp and drops
-50% exp loss on death
double storage size

On ruRO you need a premium account to make characters, but the rest is subscription optional.

Well I guess this is one way to get more people onto ymir and ygg. I just hope it goes more smoothly than most other things tend to go.

[Talvis]

Wow, Gravity's making it hard for me to break this crack addiction. I personally don't see why they're still going to have 2 different types of servers, it's not like requiring a fee to create a chara will really stop the bot farms anyway. Just let the Valk players have their GTBs and such and get to work on that supposed dedicated bot team that Heim mentioned earlier to take care of the bots.
As far as the fee to create a chara, if I understand correctly, you only need to be on premium mode to create the chara, if it's already created you don't need the premium mode. Isn't that what ruRO does? How well does that work to keep bot farms out?

[Pingchan]

Valkyrie players will get an option of the premium account as well, but you can create a few characters on Valk without an initial purchase; thus Valkyrie is still a free server.

Does this mean we won't have access to all 9 slots or something in the future? What about already made characters?

[Supatony]

Must.. find.. stuff to cry about.

Oh wait, I'm a Valk player.

[Studmanly]

when will the emails be sent?

[Supatony]

Can I transfer my 1/1 Novice from Ymir onto Valkyrie now? Or is there still a crime against Valk players?

[Miyuki]

when will the emails be sent?

They are already sent. I've gotten all mine.

[Studmanly]

i see.. then when will i get mine sent

[Miyuki]

Not sure. Maybe they're coming in based on the order of your account's creation date? I've at one point paid for 3 accounts, two of which was from '02/'03. The codes for those two came about 7 hours before the one for the account I made a year or two ago finally arrived.

[AhinaReyoh]

extended storage

I understand all changes... But storage?
I've been around 550~600 items for the past... >_>; Ever since storage was expanded.
Cutting our (Ymir) storage back to 300 if we don't pay is really going to hurt me. (And players who have similar hoarding problems as me)

I'm curious how this'll work too. I'm pretty sure my Ymir storage has over 500 items, and have no idea what'll happen if the limit is reduced to 300 without paying.

1 time fee to make an account

and rape bots

Meh, so confusing T>T

[ensignfluke]

Wow, finally! This is long, long over due. Even though I don't have time to play right now, I'm glad they are changing to this model so when I do have time, I can play for a bit without doing a month long subscription and feeling bad because I only play for a few hours.

[Suzz]

Get ready to face more...zeny spammers...

[Charisma]

I've only gotten one e-mail for my alt account. My main account is still waiting...
I
Hmmm, but I guess I'm looking forward to F2P and not feeling obligated to play daily I hope it does go well... And maybe I can do that 2nd slave account too...

[Suzz]

is it possible tht we can transfer chrc from valk to premium server?

[Hrothmund]

no emails here yet, accounts are about 6 years old (currently active).

In terms of the transition itself, does this mean a character on Ymir who doesnt have a paid subscription will have the same rates as Valk server? I'm not too concerned about exp/drop/upgrade rates but i would be concerned if storage size/char slot restrictions were placed on people who had paid for access to Ymir/Ygg.

Edited by Hrothmund, 10 December 2010 - 09:08 PM.

[Smexyness]

I'm confused.

Does this mean that people can only get onto the premium servers through an invitation or one time fee, and get access to premium content and people on valk can pay that fee to have premium content. Or does this mean all the servers are f2p, and you have to pay a subscription fee to get bonus content.

[kymmy]

Everyone that thinks about this has asked almost immediately about the bot stopping, and for that we have an answer that only premium accounts can create characters on the current premium servers, thus an initial payment, or a special invitation would be needed to create a character on our current Premium servers. Valkyrie players will get an option of the premium account as well, but you can create a few characters on Valk without an initial purchase; thus Valkyrie is still a free server.

cant you put the invitation thing on valk too or a very small one time fee to even make a char?

there's going to be a massive move away from valk??, who wants to pay a subscription to a server that still going to be packed out with bots, thats like all the bad with more of the bad

hell i want to move from valk just reading that now, where can we transfer to lolz

is it just iRO doing it this way or all other countries too?

unless im reading that wrong all i see happening is people moving, you giving them a choice, basicly of paying if they want to level up right? but why would they pay to level up a char on a server full of bots when they can pay the same and not be on a server full of bots

welcome to pay to grind what type of server would you like, one with or without lots bots?
hm no bots please!
there you go m'am

is valk going to be cheaper or something i dont see where the tough choice is
