Hey Lucifer, I remember well when Koreans first came to server, they were friendly and there was no hostility towards the US server community, but in that time Dokdo where primarily Koreans and they did not invite very many non koreans. I also quit in 2013, i remember well the server was very empty, no good pve, people were entertained only by PK but it wasnt enough to keep people there. I came back to game in August last year and what i saw in Dokdo was not many koreans there where many other nationalities there, my belief is that they non koreans who joined Dokdo Degraded the good reputation Koreans had in game, i can say within 2 months of being back i saw very little koreans, mostly only 1 guy who stayed in valdes all day. And btw they non koreans who were in Dokdo all left and i have saw most of them in different guilds every few weeks, 5+ guilds already or more,  these are not Loyal guys, they will always leave guilds when things get tuff.

 

What was not clear for me in your statement is, are you saying koreans quit because of PK or they quit because of bugs/errors not being fixed, because both of these are very different subjects.

 

Also i think we can all agree that hackers are not being punished as they should be, i know 1 guy who got a 1 day ban after someone sent a video of him using instant cast, a 1 day ban for me is a complete joke and years ago it would have been a pernament ban, im not sure why they dont want to ban people, maybe they lost too many players in previous years due to bans? well i have no idea but it does not seem right.

 

Now about Black Tower, whilst there was a bug that has been fixed, the number of players who actually abused this bug was alot, basically he would be banning a mass of players at once which as you can imagine they would not want to do this. Now about compensation, helium would have to check each account to see who actually deserves a compensation,its very easy for someone to say "i didnt do it". I believe this would be too time consuming and will not happen. Whilst people admit to abusing this i didnt see anyone deny that it was wrong to do, all know it was a bug.

 

In a more positive note, tonight there will be a maintainence which will increase the BT boss drop rate to drop 10-18 xeons. Also Catacombs will be available next week with plans on adding a quest which would gain you Black Tower High ranks.

 

The thing we have to remember, we all play here because we love this game, many of us for many years, if we did not enjoy it we simply would not play. On servers which where closed down, there was no productivity or efforts from GMs for a long time, we have Helium, only him, whilst we do not agree with everything he is doing, he is trying to develop the game as best as he can,its a slow process, but it is progress.

 Thanks to reply and I'm very appreciated that u try to understand what I wrote.

 Most Korean can admit pks in this game. This is a MMORPG and Pk is one of content.

 

 As I wrote (but if it was ambiguous to anyone, it was totally from my poor English),

 Koreans have left because they feel that this game will not working properly anymore.

 If there were bug that might bring about severe discrimination between players, or

 if there were hacking users that might  collapse character balance,

 and someone feels unfair to submit investigating about them,

 any sincere apologize or result of investigation should be announced first.

 Without such announcement, only misunderstanding between players will be grown.

 

 I know only one good man - helium have made a every efforts to satisfy remaining player.

 But the more important thing is to communicate with player by himself or by assistant in forum or homepage.

 

Anyway I hope there will be more communication between players and developers or game assistants.

 

It's too late and AM 2: 50 here. Have a good sleep and see u later in requiem world.

If you are suspecting someone of using hacking software, you need to report that player by sending a ticket via https://support.warpportal.com/ providing proofs of the violation (for example, a video).

There is no need to accuse players on this forum because this will only give ammo for unwanted fracas.

Did you know that if you speed up your video to 1.5x everyone looks like a speed hacker? 

Open your eyes and look at the clock on the minimap. Game time.

Since 2008, I have enjoyed requiem world.

The requiem world is the place where can spend my sapre time and  can meet new people with various occupation.

 

After Korean server was terminated, many people moved into this server because we would like to enjoy this game contiuously.

 

In 2012~2013 there were two korean guild.

One was "OASIS" in which most players were light game user and  prefered farming and raid-hunting.

The other was "DOKDO" in which they were also enjoyed raid-hunting and showed more agrressive attitude on GvG than "OASIS"

I was in OASIS but left the game in 2013 and 50% of korean users also left the game.

The main reanson for leaving game was there were no new content to enjoy and no expectation of update in near future.

 

Anyway, i was come back Oct. last year and joined DOKDO remaining korean guild.

There have been GvG againt Inception and Dark Crusader and Choco-pie etc.

I have heared form guild member the reason of GvG, that is some people in those guild used hacking program such as speed hack, non-stunned hack etc.

Althogh submitting ticket repeatedly, there have been no change or no penalty for hack-program users.

So they decided to make a pk against hack-program users.

I have wondered that they (some people in inception etc.) have used hack-program really.

 

But important point is, there have been no responsible answers on tickets from authorized people.

In addition, No-Action on recent bug issue of Black Tower have been recurred .

 - Was there any notice that Nubellion boss re-spwaning is a bug?

 - Was there any notice that 10 xeons drop is a bug?

And ideed, there have not been any sincere apologize to remaining players about those bugs.

 

Meanwhile, a few players have aquired new armor sets easily and wtih no pay.

And they only worry about birng back or penalty and insist that is a layziness problem.

 

How can we trust that this game be managed and controlled with fairness.

 

Still there have been no action, no answers.

 

80% of korean players have left this game since Dec. last year and a handful remaining player also feels suspecious on fair-managing.

  

Most korean player have left Requiem World due to unfairness and irresponsible action for issues not due to other players 

 

I would like to see any sincere answers from authorized people of this game on problems issued by any player.

 

But I will not leave game because playing Requiem is one of my reaxation time of tired daily life.

Thank you for the honest feedback. Let me take some time to assure you of some things I feel you may have missed in your assessment and also to summarize the situation over the last few years.

 

I began playing at the same time, in our Open Beta Period for the North American version of Requiem which launched in early 2008 and then continued in full launch of June 2008. I am happy to hear from players that have such a long view.

 

After the closing of the Korean Service there was a sizable population of players that continued here. It is also true that after the Korean Service closed, without a full studio team to develop Requiem as was the case when the Korean Service was open, we had to carry on with much less capacity and longer development times for what we could do with our team of two. Our ability to have the client language strings translated into Korean was also lost then. Nonetheless we took over the work of developing new content and revising old content to keep Requiem enjoyable for both the Russian Service and our Global Service.

 

The handover was swift and we announced it (http://www.playrequi...om/notice/37127) in November 2013. Alteris and I began immediately to work on new content. The first work we did was not a major update but rather for a seasonal holiday event (http://www.playrequiem.com/events/2339). But following that we began releasing seasonal event content, regular minor updates and occasional major updates which I list here:

• Daughters of the Frost Blade 02/19/2014 http://www.playrequi...om/notice/39558

  • New Field Boss, equipment and more

• Leprechaun from the Streets 03/17/2014 http://www.playrequiem.com/events/2417

  • New Event Field Boss and more

• Big Bubba Koont's Casino 05/08/2014 http://www.playrequi...om/notice/42210

  • New Monsters, Quests, and more

• The Resonating Artifacts of the Frost Blade 05/27/2014 http://www.playrequi...om/notice/43315

  • Various new contents

• Rage of Voxyon 08/18/2014 http://www.playrequi...om/notice/47514

  • New Raid Boss and various other new contents

• Assault on Ethergia 10/15/2014 http://www.playrequiem.com/events/2924

  • New Event Field Boss and Halloween Event contents

• Skill Updates from 10/20/2014 to 08/22/2016 and now

  • Over almost 2 years we would revise skills in an attempt to balance game play between classes. This effort has been revived recently and will continue because I acknowledge there is a lot of work to do here.

• In 2015 I began working on developing Requiem alone as Alteris began working with our title Dragon Saga. In 2015 I kept releasing new seasonal event contents but had to plan out what I could accomplish solo.

  • (To save time I will not list all the seasonal event contents developed between October 2014 and now but you can find notices posted at playrequiem.com announcing all of these if you are interested.)

• Honor System / Alternate Advancement 06/30/2016 http://www.playrequi...om/notice/84200

  • With the help of our new WarpPortal.com Programmer

• 2nd Ethergian Olympics 07/15/2016 http://www.playrequiem.com/events/3626

  • No new contents but a fun event with exclusive rewards

• The Catacombs (and Black Tower) 02/02/2017 http://www.playrequiem.com/events/3743

  • Still evolving and additional content to be released this week

 

Although our output has not been that of a full studio team we have strived to keep new contents coming and now I keep doing that today. I hope that even without a good Korean translation for these updates our Korean users can see this effort nevertheless.

 

The problem of cheating in online games is always present and although we do not typically announce our actions or updates pertaining to these issues I can give you some details to assure you we do take the matter seriously and do attempt to address it where we can.

We added a cheat detection system to the game around the time of the Honor Update. Last year it made well over a thousand detections and kicked those users. This year so far more than 100 detections and the same. We do not automatically suspend the users but do disconnect them whenever a detection is made. We do suspend users upon submission of good evidence such as video capture or a report verified by a Support Representative in game. Many users are given an opportunity for release with a warning understanding further violation could result in permanent suspension or the removal of all contents from the account before release. We do not announce the identity of users we suspend for these actions or behaviors and we also do not advertise our efforts to address them. In part this leads to situations such as guilds feeling they need to take matters into their hands and enforce a sort of vigilantism blind to the efforts taking place in the background. This leads to all sorts of issues where user actions are not verifiable and often breakdown into national, racial or other outside the game basis that becomes a problem for the game.

 

Regarding the recent respawn bug with the Raid Boss Nebullion. Indeed I did monitor to be sure that what was gained out of the period was, although a notable head start in collecting the contents, not as much as many came to believe. Also, there was notice about the respawn bug and it was fixed. There was no (after the fact) mass suspension for users that in the course of participating in the new content enjoyed fighting the boss all day as it respawned and not knowing it was a bug immediately, too although there were calls for this. The 10 Xeon drop was not a bug. Reducing it to 6 was not a bug. Raising it up to 18 max, as it is now, was also not a bug.

Here is where notice was given about the respawn issue and fix to come for it: Maintenance Notice for 2/14 and 2/15 02/14/2017 (http://www.playrequi...om/notice/93482). There were only a tiny handful of players that only completed the Raid and picked up loot once without using a Raid Reset during the period. I do not seek to be unfair to those players but I will not punish the huge majority of players for playing normally and thinking it was all part of the fun on purpose.

 

I do sincerely apologize for my own failings and for being unable to juggle all the tasks I undertake from time to time. However, realize there is a lot for which I also do not take credit for that users do not see but do happen behind the scenes and take a great deal of time. I am happy to hear you will continue playing. I am also working to keep new updates coming while keeping in mind the need to try satisfy our global player base.

Dear Helium,

 

Great tanks to sincere reply on my post.

And I am appreciated again that you have struggled together with volunteer group to deveop better environment of Requiem World.

 

I will carry your talks to my korean friends.

 

 

I, The Survivor

I know of course: it's simply luck

That I've survived so many friends.

But last night in a dream

I heard those friends say of me:

"Survival of the fittest"

And I hated myself.

 

                                                        -Bertolt Brecht

 

Most koreans in this game can't speak Englsih well, and this brings about misundertanding between players or lack of communication with GMs.

I also will make my best for carring any information and other player's critics on korean players to my remaining friends.

 

Because,

I, Know this is the place to have a chance to meet new friend over the sea and  to share one's thought based on different culture and background.

What a wonderful Requiem World.

 

Have a good farming, raid and war all.
