*Silvervine System

Spoiler

What is the silvervine system?

• The silvervine system is a way for players to gain access to item mall items and unique quest items through in game play or trade with other players.

How do I earn silvervine?

• The silvervine cats will offer a serious of tasks that can be completed for a silvervine. In V2 Silvervine can also be purchased with zeny (limitations apply).
• Silvervine Boxes can be purchased from other players that have purchased them in the item mall.

Wait what were those limitations?

• Characters will be limited to the amount of silvervine that can be earn during the month. Currently the plan is that each character can earn about 100 silvervine per month. Silvervine will be account bound so characters on accounts can pool their silvervine earnings. We will be evaluating how silvervine is earned and used to see if we need to change the system.

What can I use the silvervine for?

• Enriched/HD Ore and almost everything that is currently in the item mall.

What will you change in the future?

• Silvervine will be used to complete headgear event quests and some interesting cosmetic option quests we have planned for the future the future.

Aren't you worried about bots?

• We will be monitoring the bot situation for silvervine and adjust the system as needed to meet the needs of the server.

Nothing about a new anti-bot???     

[rhexis]

Really? Nothing about anti bot and you actually roll out more costumes? Are you sure your priorities are set right? 

 

You're losing customers, and existing customers are getting more frustrated each day and you add new costumes. Wow.

Aren't the tests with woe done yet? Can we see (if you guys have) the schedule / queue for 2-2 class launch? 

[Myzery]

Stop being so angry, they have to get build updates from kRO and since these last few anit bot measure failed, they have to step up their game.

"Things don't happen over night" - Well, except they have had 5 working nights to work on it since the last patch.

 

The least they could at least do is let us know how it is going. Not a single word on the post tells anything on the thing this server needs the most.

Nothing is finalized and I am pushing on all avenues that I can. I can't report anything else.

Where is the Jeje Cap? I offered to donate 2k USD for this hat, I am not bluffing please release jeje cap immediately

[Blueness]

Guys. The current anti bot system dates from 2008 and DOES NOT WORK.
 
When they put it back in unannounced last week it lasted 35 minutes.
 
The only way it would work is if they shuffled it multiple times a day every day for a few weeks and eventually most of the casual bots would go elsewhere, but this would be very annoying for players.
 
They need to put recaptcha v2 on the new account page and that would fix a chunk of it.

How will this work exactly? Can we expect all the boxes to be there in the room after maintenance?

Sadly, developers don't relalize how toxic  bots are to the overall lifespan of the game. Now, we are past the peak bot population (from 7k to 5k) and as people leave the server/are less willing or encouraged to play due to this problem, there will be less demand for zenny and botzennyfarmers users will also start to leave because (they will sell less and go botting elsewere). What will remain will be just a few players who don't know any better, and some bots. Whats more worrying is that we are seeing this only in the first two months, which really shows the lack of control.

Even as a bussines model, you can estimate the potential loss of money due to less people playing. Now it doesn't even feel like gravity doesn't care, it looks like they don't know how to make optimal profit from their game, they lose people, money, client loyalty, stain their brand, etc. I feel really sad, of what might have been a wonderful server. Also, I fear for future gravity projects, WP has too little control over the server and they don't seem to be technically competent to confront large and consistent problems. 

I will always have a deep love for this game, with his ups and downs. Thats why I came back after so many years, but never thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game at all. Some users (myself included) believe a paywall will help bring down bot users to some degree, we want to play your game, we enjoy it and we will spend money on it, as long as is healthy enough to play it.

Having no bot update this week, and not even mention it on the main post, shows that it bears no urgency besides campitor screaming to deaf ears. Truly a shame.

[RealGarion]

Yeah new custome hurray  ! /sarcasm

 

Well whatever ... you might get thier eventually... or not.

 

@camp

well i feel you somewhat i know what its like when you got the feeling to scream at a wall .. prepare yourself for another week of rants though

Sending threatening letters about losing players = losing money won't truly affect their income. If they reach $50000 revenue (this is just imaginary value) target then that's it. It doesn't matter if it comes from 500 players x $100 vs 100 players x $500. They can still get same revenue with less players which is why cash shop/costumes are used for marketing...

 

Chaos server have less players and more bot issues but with +14 equips that most likely come from cash shop refining, you might be surprised if Chaos income is way bigger than Restart income.....

...and about the bots ? its getting aggressive y'know like kill stealing your mobs and looting your item drop , c'mon GMs its shows that RO restart is for bot players , we "REAL LIFE" players spend time even night to level grinding and saving zenny by selling loots , while this bot players sitting around and sleeps soundly leaving their computer do the jobs .....

 

p.s: those who will rant to this please dont do it its shows that your the bot owners seriously ...

I'd rather it in the client login because making accounts is a one time deal. Not sure if it's possible.

[Hagges]

well implement captcha on login and send the captcha as image via mail to the account owner

[wputra11]

cant login

[D4ut0n]

Why can't i login?
