Ok then. @Campitor and staff
You have repeatedly dodged your player base by saying it´s a management decision.
I don´t know about you, but other than being a passionate RO players, I also graduated in Management with focus on Marketing. So please give this one message from me to the ghoul behind WP Marketing Strategy for Iro : Re:Peat.
This is not a conventional business model. Your first job is to identify the key points for a sustainable income creation.
1. In this case, you have a customer/user base generally older than your average gamer. We are mostly 23+ year old people. This is good. Older generally means stedyer incomes. Means more money to spend with leisure activities, like Ragnarok. Also means you need to respect us as consumers.
2. Customer satisfaction is the most important binding point for your offered product. If you want customer Loyalty (And you imensily need it for a sustainable business) , invest in keeping the players happy. And by keeping us happy I do not mean do everything players ask for. There are several experts in this community. These people have empirically tested know-how for questions of server health. Cut the bull-_- you are trying. We will always see throw your actions!
I´d be more than happy to pay2play or even pay for customs, just because I feel it´s fair. If you offer me a good product, I will hapilly pay.
What you are doing with Iro: Re:peat is : Milking your cash cow as fast as possible before it dies, instead of healing it. Old players leaving, impossible enviorment for new players.
If you think that this won´t have consequences beyond this server, be assured, If you keep this course, the image of Warpportal will be wrecked. I for one, will never play any game managed by this company ever again, IF you keep this up.
You have a good product, with good potential in your hands. Apply some management skills from this century ! STAKEHOLDER VALUES MAN!
Until competence strikes back, I´m off and will be a WoE player only from now on. Until not even that is possible.
Good luck.
