These numbers appear to increase the cost of Straws, Alcohol, Immortal Hearts, and Mermaid Hearts... mainly ingredients for making Grenades/Acids/Glistening Coats while also increasing the amount of time we have to sit at raffler to obtain them.

 

I can certainly understand the need to combat inflation by having a zeny drain, but these changes hurt players more than help. Time is the most limiting factor, and the current human player population doesn't support the amount of these items that we want to obtain for leveling, mvping, pvp, woe, farming, instances, et cetera. The raffler changes were requested to help players stay around, but I fear this is just another change that could alienate players.

 

An example of maybe how this could be changed for the better, Speed Potions can be purchased 1-3 at a time by doing a time consuming quest for 15,000 zeny each, or you can buy them for 40,000 zeny each in bulk. I personally opt to buy them in bulk for the 267% increased price because it saves me time that I could otherwise focus on more interesting aspects of the game that I find fun and enjoyable.

 

In the past there was a decent market and strawberries could be resold from raffler for a decent return on investment, that doesn't really exist now. People bought strawberries from the market because they probably didn't have the time to wait for it to show up on raffler to buy it themselves and save zeny.

 

Some of the items that have lower cost in these planned changes are most likely the more underutilized raffles, I'd suggest that there is more need for a shakeup in the prize items and consolation items than just changing the prices to create additional zeny sink opportunities.

Even so, still a bad joke. U increase the time to get fabric or alcohol, now we can get 1~2 of those. Alcohol is 40k 1~2 and right now I can get 10 for 150k, just do the math or don”t change anything!!!

Doesn’t make sense though...why did you guys reduced the amount you can obtain?if you would’ve lower down the cost even 5-10 k each that would’ve so much better. It’s true that some of it was cut the cost in half but now you need twice the time to get the same amount of items you’re trying to get. It just doesn’t make sense. You have to consider that most of your players are either working/going to school/have kids/basically life, and most of us has only so many hours to play the game. We can’t just sit there and try to spam raffler all day to get things we need. It just doesn’t make sense.

We want to give everyone a chance to chime in regarding the raffler this week. We'll review the comments for next week's maintenance and continue to adjust it from there.

I agree on this, the changes was to make the market stable. And in return we don’t turn away new players, which means WP would get more player base/costumer. But with this change that you guys will make on the raffler doesn’t really help us. Small changes like this sometimes draws the line of just quitting the game and playing other games.

I honestly didn't even notice that the main prizes amounts were changed as well, so that's something to also consider.

 

I think most players are using the raffler for the consolation items, personally I've won raffles multiple times and actually been not so happy because I wanted to farm more of the consolation items. I've gotten multiple Fish In Mouth and just ended up giving them away to new players.

 

If it's up for discussion, I'd very much like to see the main prizes looked at as well. I'd be willing to sink more zeny toward getting HE Bubble Gums, but not when the consolation is Blue Herb which I have no use for at the moment. And as previously mentioned, Fish In Mouth is really undesirable (as it can be obtained relatively easily through the Eden headgear quest).

A Simple Request was quite enjoyable. I think it worked well as a zeny sink and had a lot of fun rewards and ways to utilize the event whether it was the vending machine or farming Super Large Jellop(y) for head gears and buffs.

 

The item collection was clever with the use of the missing letters and the story was unique and interesting.  :no1:

Everyone, please ... This is not cool, do not make that change in the raffle. The server does not have enough market to have AD's trade between players. This nerf is pretty bad, just reduce the value of the items by 1/3 (33%) and keep the rewards.
 
Another point I wanted to know, came out an update a while ago putting new cards to get out of OCA's, are they leaving? I did not get any of them ... And the MvP Nidhogg card is dropping (says yes, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase)

After much thought and consideration, we have decided to postpone the update to the prices for the raffler. The prices will remain untouched after today's maintenance.

 

We will continue discussing raffler price adjustments for a future update.

I believe that an alternate solution to the raffler would be to introduce a NPC that simply sells the ingredients that the raffler is currently offering as a consolation prize.

 

Karvo, Alcohol, Witchsand, B.herb, etc.

 

This game is already a super grindfest and with little no end game, at least give the players the ability to play the content that it offers without the need to go out and farm more items just to use basic skills.  I mean, the sheer amount of diverse materials needed to just create a poison bottle for a sinx is ridiculous.  The economy on this server is already extremely broken, prices are overly inflated and new players have a extremely hard time to even self sustain. 

 

I feel that by implementing a NPC that sells basic ingredients needed by all classes would be a great quality of life improvement as well as introducing a new zeny sink.   

 

Lastly, please be considerate of your customer's time, we are here to enjoy the game. If your customers are happy, they will tend to stay longer and even invite new potential customers.  Please do what you can to make iRO a enjoyable and the primary choice when choosing a Ragnarok Online server.  There is a large amount of successful private servers with a large player base that chooses to play there instead of here.  The goal should be to make iRO great again and bring those players back.
