Ok lets make VIP more lucrative on Classic so it would help out the servers more.

Here are some ideas that should be easily addable:

1. VIP Buffer +5-7 All stats -> Not Applicable in WoE, 1 Hour Duration.
2. EXP/Drop Rate Buffer -> Since mapwise is currently not possible, make a NPC that will add you a buff that gives 50% EXP/Item Drop. 1 Hour Buff Duration or longer.
3. MVP Summoner -> Yep, this will be needed to add eventually. Add this when Trans class comes out. Make it VIP only and uses monster drop loots to summon and a 3 hour delay for quest. Basically like the old Summoner(LINK) however you need VIP to use.


Currently VIP have little benefits otherwise my friends and I would purchase VIP for our accounts so lets make some good suggestion for VIP in Classic server.

1. I don't want to be doing high end MvPs and be beaten by another player because they pay more real life money. If some group is more skilled than my group fine, but they sure as hell better be winning for some other reason than how much real money they throw into this game.

2. As long as drop rates aren't increased on MvPs I don't care. No real opinion on this point.

3. Exactly why would this need to be added? Summoner is a terrible invention; it floods the server with MvP drops/cards. Adding this feature is already a bad idea, but adding this feature solely to VIP members makes it hard to argue that this game isn't pay to win.

I'm afraid to say all games are pay to win.

I agree with your point on requiring VIP to summon MVP, however this add a major point to get VIP which generates income for RO. Allow non-VIP to use Summoner is a option.

VIP should get benefits over non-VIP, that is the sole reason of VIP. VIP could be a great cash cow for RO and would not cause major imbalance if done correctly.

It should have stayed as said before the server's beggining.

VIP:
- 1% death penalty
- no Magic Stones required (or, if they were required, they would be returned to the player)
- small increase on exp rate, 1.5

Non-VIP:
- 3% death penalty
- Magic Stones required to change jobs
- regular/normal exp rate, 1x

Summoner should never exist on classic. Don't care about anything else.

Nope.

Lets let this server progress naturally.

1- "Cough" League of legends

2- Just no

3- leveling x 3 faster and loosing less exp on death isn't that good for you?

4- Whats the point on turning an rpg game into a "i pay more so I have to be better than you?

League of Legends in some way could still be considered pay to win. I followed the League scene for along time, favorite player is bigfatlp, he used to play RO too

Recently voyboy switch to CLG gaming, why? money/more famous/drama team

I think you are replying to the wrong thread, this is for Classic not other servers.

Progress naturally? This will always happen because there is no real definition of naturally for the server. It will progress as anything is added and that is naturally.

Anything added to the server could be considered progressing naturally. So progressing naturally is what the server is doing and will always be doing.

Delaying... that is all I see. That is what it seems like you guys want. Delaying. 24 MVP a day and eventually you'll get a card but that is just delaying. Is Delaying things fun for everyone? no because there will be 1 guild that will be the only guild to hunt them and you will not be able to compete.

You hunt thara frogs, you'll eventually get a card in time, there is nothing wrong in making it faster. Bubblegum/Battlemanual does not ruin the gameplay experience they just enhance it.

There is no reason to Delay things as it'll just make it less fun for everyone.

This game needs to generate income without adding too much imbalance. Speeding up the natural progression is a good way to do this.

A monopoly will occur if nothing is done anyhow. These MVP summoner suggestion allow and help other people and will lessen this affect.
