Heimdallr seems to be in this "Alright enough bull, we're gonna try and slowly talk to the community about things we want to do".
I say nai to this.
Discuss what we, the players want to do instead. You've already had threads on this, but I'm seeing more and more that you forward things that pull away from what the players want and would like, in favor of your own wantings. While it is important to discuss the matters that fuel this server, it is more important to keep the players happy and make them want to play, instead of constantly thinking about finances. With less players you wouldn't be making enough money anyways, no matter how clever your box event is.(just an example)
If these recent threads and discussions are because the rest(ie;what we have previously addressed) is "in the works" and already sent to HQ then alright. But tell us that instead of staying silent. If we don't know what's going on then we can't trust you. We don't know anything because you never tell us.
For my part, I would like to ask about these things:
When will we get the new RK sprites? It has been sent to HQ, alright. But let us know more. The sooner the better. Get more of what we want, then focus on what you want. We're already waiting months on end for "new" content to reach us from the other servers. Even with the monopoly kRO and jRO has on their items, it seems like they are "doing it right".
Why are you going on about adding so many more new things and features? The last patch did clear up a lot of issues and things, and it was only a few days notice on some of them too. I won't hold that against you in any way, you've done a great job. Maintenance was a bit long, we would like to know more what goes on. Perhaps update the gravity blog or have a "Maintenance Blog Thread" here.
But back to the point, why so many new things? Are you not addressing the cases we've already discussed? What has gone through? What hasn't? Why are there no updates from HQ? Why are we, the players not informed about what is going on?
It's like ingame, you won't disclose the upgrade rates to us for some reason. You won't tell us what goes on for some reason. We're getting tired of it, it's like with your parents when you were young. When you didn't tell them what you had and had not done they assumed you didn't do anything.
I hope this doesn't sound harsh and negative, I'd for us to have a civil talk about these things and let us players know more. The issues I brought up specifically are my own preference, what I care about.
Perhaps a thread can be created that contains a list over user suggestions and "wants", and it can be crossed off as you take care of it.
Come with inputs, if you're a gm please post what you think, but don't think of this in a negative way and post accordingly. This isn't to call the gm team out or have a huge fit. I've talked to some players ingame and they have no clue what goes on here. I want to get some things straight, get some answers and improve moral on the forums and ingame. The main spark for this is a thread over at irowiki where several users said that they have quit because the community over the past couple of years has gone down the drain.
To the GM Team:
You know why Minecraft is so popular? It's because the developer listens to the community and lets them know what is up. And while you aren't the devs of ragnarok online, you are our devs.
