Actually Midnight, I would just want the car.


Then we are on the same page :P


No one here should complain.

You pay 600 WP for 30 days, which is pretty cheap; you get extra drops&exp 24\7; you get extra storage; you get extra content and quests (haven't seen yet but if they said we would, then we probably will); PLUS you get a free daily item, sometimes good sometimes worthless.

Seriously? What were you expecting? A gem 7 everyday? A box of Plutorunes? A Sagi stone?

Be happy with what you get for once.


Why should we be happy BEFORE we get what we pay for? I disagree.

I have one and it saddens me to say it. I suggest they remove the free daily item bonus and replace it with something else.
Suggest that everyone who buys a premium is alloted a special number. Once a day or once a week even, they hold a random name draw. The GMs announce the winner via Ingame. Its a sure fire crowd puller to see a GM ingame.
Not only will this hopefully put out the flames and unfortunate negative impact this give away has created.
Or they could even announce the winner via forums. That would attract players to join us merry folk on the Forums. Possibly give Item Mall points as the reward.

i agree in this part with you, its a good idea.

and i do really prefare a free toy or free sauce which is worthy

wow so much crying over something no one is forcing anyone to buy. if u don't like it don't buy the premium account thing plain and simple. so quit you are crying over getting a box of metal or of wood while its the trail its not even the real package and you are still complaining over something you are getting at no extra cost.
now this things here :
1. A 20% increase to experience
2. A 30% increase to the item drop rate
3. The ability to create up to 8 characters per account
4. Access to the 4 Premium storage tabs without having to use an Item Mall coupon
200 for 4 days or 600 for 30 days
u know what ill take it i farm a lot that 30% drop rate seems nice to me, 20% exp i make a lot of noobs i am fine with that too along with the 8 characters per account. more storage to put my junk in without having to buy more storage sets every week sounds good to me too. the free gift everyday so its random and it gives u some good items others not so good but im sure half of you buy the event boxes they sell sometimes and some of them half really good stuff others dont but u still buy them to get tht 1 item well this box is free sure u might say its not cuz u still pay for tht sub but its a 1 time pay every month or 4 days so jst enjoy the trial and have a nice day :P

@Naughty I like your lottery idea :angel:

how about if it was "spiced" with getting some unique items not available any other way?(as lottery rewards)


I like your idea of spicing it up with unique items only available via that route.


Then we are on the same page :P




Why should we be happy BEFORE we get what we pay for? I disagree.


We are on the same page? Ru Oh, is that good or bad ;)
I can think of lots of occasions i was happy before i got what i had paid for.

I believed it was a common saying. Pardon, let me explain; It means that from my understanding our thoughts of the matter, that we discussed in this topic, were the same.
If you disagree please point out what I could have missunderstood.

Clearly I was unclear, let me rephrase :P
Can you think of many occasions when you were happy to pay for things you DIDN'T get?

Since if you are paying for Premium right now, as you CAN do, you DO NOT get what they say that you will get from paying Premium. You do not get any extra Content or Quest. If you know something I don't, I would very much like to be enlightened.

Oh its a common saying. I just dont think we are on the same page.
Im quite happy and content to wait the few weeks out, while all the features as advertised get implemented.
My reason why is simple. The day Calanor announced the Premium account feature, he did state

"Premium Access &Quests along with the free item a day will be updated over the next few weeks."

Now a few weeks to me, would probably be about 3. However, im going to say until the end of December. Im allowing a little extra time since the launch of the service was unfortunately gripped with problems.
Im a fair person and can fully understand when things go wrong.
Quite frankly what i find sad is that something that should have been spectacular, pretty much was marred by bugs, glitches and gripes.
Im looking forward to what is in store. I think when all the dust settles this package will be a good un.

In light of what was announced from the very start...
With all due respect. I really do think you are asking me a premature question when you ask me
"Can you think of many occasions when you were happy to pay for things you DIDN'T get?"

You've been around the Rose block plenty of times to know that things usually go as planned. While in principle, yes, in an ideal world you should get what you pay for on time. But then there is this silly thing called "reality". And one of the realities is that Calanor warned that some features would take "several" weeks to be implimented. But yet you still jumped in with both feet and paid. You know how Rose is run yet you still act like Rose has never havea delay or a problem, even in light of the fact that you were told "up front" that not all of the premium features would be implimented right off the bat. So you made your choice with all these things taken into consideration, yet you are making such a fuss. After the "few weeks" are up, then fine, hold Calanors feet to the fire. A few weeks in Rose time is probably 3- 4 weeks, which we are nearly over with. Offer up suggestions of what you think Rose staff should do for something constructive.

On the 8th of December I recieved a mail in my hotmail, as I believe all of us did. It goes like this:

During November, ROSE Online launched Premium Service for all Free to Play users - allowing you to play with increased bonuses and features. Power Up! your ROSE Online game account to gain better EXP, Drop rates and access to Premium Content. With 4 day and 30 day Premium Account options you can play the game as wish to play with benefits that fit for your own play style.

Not only will you be able to boost your ROSE game account but you will also gain other benefits with a Premium account.

Increased EXP & Drop Rates
Full access to Premium Storage
Create up to 8 Characters
Premium Content Access & Quests
and Free Daily Login Item Bonuses


In the last month we have done a number of updates we think you would enjoy!

A new Jewelry System was updated which introduced New Jewelry Sets!
No longer do you have to spend hours hoping for that 1 drop for the Wings or crafted item you want to make. You can do Valor Quest and exchange points for Crafted Items!
We have been taking in a lot of feedback from the community and have put out some smaller updates that you have helped create!
And we have added a load of new Costumes

We are so grateful to be servicing ROSE Online to users around the world, and this December marks our 6 years of service. So we are throwing a party and you are invited! Join us as we embark on the next 6 years and get your Anniversary Jewelry Set.

Just in time for the Holidays, we will be celebrating Christmas starting on December 13th, and you don't want to miss out on the festivities!


Can you tell me where Calanor says it will take a few weeks for the things to be implemented and fully working in this mail?

Now I've seen many of the staff here in Rose make Timelines for things, Genesis for example said late October/ early Novemeber for the game arena if I'm remembering it correctlly. And now Calanar says a few weeks for the premium content. Hopefully the premium content does arrive in this update or the next.

So when I see this email on the 8th of December and power-up my account, without looking on the forums to verify if the email Rose sent to me was correct, I would pay for things I didn't get during the days it was not yet implemented.

I'm merely trying to make a point.

I have been making some suggestions, altho I don't claim to be any better - hence I don't have it as a job.


"You know how Rose is run yet you still act like Rose has never havea delay or a problem"

Yes, fully aware - that does not mean I will sit idle on the side and let it slide merely for the reason that this has always been the case. I would like to work for progress. Even if it means pointing out when they done something I would consider as wrong, so that the next time they do something similiar they might do it better.

You recieved an email on the 8th December...You powered up shortly after.

http://forums.warppo...-where-to-find/
Zeppelin said on the 8th December...
"Wanted to pop in here and give a quick update... I am pleased to say that the free daily item for Premium Accounts is scheduled to be implemented today!"

Few hours later, Calanor said...
"We are pushing this back to tomorrow. We ran into 1 small issue and rather then push out too fast we are going to do the update tomorrow."

So due to some problem, the free item was delayed by one day. Due to the delay of one day, what do you think the GMs do? Give you a double free daily log in item?

What i will say about the other, i think the email should have been more descriptive on the premium quests were not implemented yet.
Clearly an oversight on Gravitys part. Maybe one solution could be that somebody behind the scenes proof reads these emails before they are sent out.
...But thats a whole different Topic, as this Topic is/was about the daily log in item.
