Kafra Warps, except for Prontera, have been removed from the game and are for VIP only

What ? What are you talking about.

Well, for a few days, at the very least, warps were allowed for non-VIPers, which I personally used so I know it worked.


Are you on Ymir or Ygg? Gravity had been extending people's accounts on Ymir as a special favour to those who were waiting for F2P, so they could play 'free' and not have to quit playing until F2P, but as they hadn't setup non-VIP/VIP settings yet and Ymir/Ygg was Premium they could only give free Premium/VIP-like extensions, including the extra warp options. But those extensions should be running out this month for alot of people (mine runs out end of this week due to the timing of when I re-activated my account and some others I know had their run out over the weekend). On Valkyrie though its pretty much always been that way when free so they're more used to it. They just save in Prontera where theres still a lot of warp options.

Each of the official servers have different setups for subscription vs free plans. But iRO is only just starting with this particular plan, there'll be more plans for subscriptions in future. For example idRO, tRO and malaysia/singapore server you lose items on death when free which sounds pretty crazy :(
http://irowiki.org/wiki/F2P

It might be nice for them to offer a Warp Key though one-off purchase in the Kafra Shop however if not modifying the warps from the previous Free settings.

Or how about a NPC in Edens which lets people go to Prontera? I think that'd help new players. I suppose it defeats what iRO is trying to do with incentives. But I just replied to someone on New Player section stuck in Alberta (luckily they can probably use the boatship to Izlude, but some towns aren't as close to Prontera for that). But yeah incentives don't work if new players quit before buying a subscription. :blink:

I've always thought that this scares away new players. Perhaps the benefit for subscribers should be that teleporting is free.

I would rather to have a bothersome teleport for non VIP, and an open tele for VIP. Being on valkyrie, I have been used to warp from prontera and juno only. Neither I feel VIP because I see no new options/benefits in teleing, neither non VIP see anychange.

How about if instead of the current system, VIP got to warp between all towns (from anywhere to anywhere) for a set cost (for example, 2000 zeny). That would be increased convenience, now I don't have to save in prontera anyways, now I can warp from anywhere to anywhere.

Then, change non VIP to have a few warps, for a high price, for example 10000 zeny. For example, from payon, you got to warp to alberta or izlude. From izlude, you get to warp to alberta or prontera. From prontera, you ca warp to izlude, morroc, of geffen... and so on.

Then, you get two now changes for non VIP:

1) You are now not trapped in a single place in the world if you don't save in prontera, which discourages players.

and

2) You can not just save in prontera and warp to anywhere like premium players. So now indeed, multiple warping becomes a premium service.

If you are stuck in another town and trapped there because of DB/BB's, please spend $7 to buy a VIP service and stay out of trouble with the DB/BBs!

I tried Valk out for a couple days, and after realizing that I couldn't warp anywhere, I pretty much left. (that & the bots)

I'd be OK having VIP free and non-VIP priced.

Considering the goal is to make veteran players come back (quote from Heim, I believe) I think the warps for non-VIP should be set to what was normal on Chaos / Loki / Iris. So far on Ymir I've seen quite a few people go "wtf I can't warp from the Kafra. I just walked all the way from X town and I STILL can't warp anywhere?!?!!?!" For VIP you could make it so a warp from any town goes to any other town and add in a dungeon teleporter, etc.

I hope this isn't true, just a mistake. Kafra Warps have always been a big part of the game. Just reduce prices for VIP members or make them higher for Non-VIP.

Not literally "trapped". I wasn't talking about DBs or BBs. Trapped meaning that if you save there, you'd have to walk to get out of the city, whereas with Prontera you can warp out of it. Didn't think I'd have to explain this, honestly.


If all of your paths to Prontera are filled up with DBs or BBs... then walking to get out of the city is not an option. And don't forget about this:

Kafra warp are indeed a major part of the game and will only make players leave if it's only for VIP. I agree with free kafra warp for VIP, and a small fee to non-VIP. Perhaps some exclusive warps to VIP too.

I must say, I was expecting non-VIPs would get the "out of the box" ro, and that would've meant normal warps for non-VIP and normal warps + old valky warps for VIPs

For example, at geffen's kafra:

VIP warps:
Every rune midgard warps + juno+ orc dungeon...or is it coal mine from geffen? can't remember

Non-VIPs:
Prontera
Aldebaran
Orc dungeon or coal mine, can't really remember which

At prontera:

VIP:
Every rune midgard warps + juno+ orc dungeon

non-VIP:
The normal pre-merge kafra warps, I really can,t remember what they were...
morroc
geffen
payon
izlude
Orc dungeon
I think?


That would be better than whatever we have now imo =x

Buy the town bwings in the kafra shop is what they are hoping i guess. But then you need to get to payon to buy them. :blink:

Ok HTML Table to the rescue! It is entirely possible we have an "oops" here and there on the warps, and it is viable for us to add more. I am not likely to authorize making all warps available for non-VIP but certainly giving the basics is a possibility, as is adding a "get to Prontera" function for the Eden Group.

Such a giant table o.o

How about for non vip members. In all basic towns you can at least warp to the town nearest to the town your in. For example.

If you are in Alberta, you can warp to Payon.

If you are in Payon, you can warp to Prontera or Alberta.

If you are in Morroc, you can warp to Comodo, Geffen or Prontera.

If you are in Geffen you can warp to Prontera or Morroc.

If you are in Comodo you can warp to Morroc or Umbala.

For new players under the level of, let's say 40. They will be able to warp to all basic towns via the Eden Group. Basic towns are Payon, Prontera, Morroc, Geffen, and Alberta. Job change towns basically.

As it stands now, Non VIP can't really warp from anywhere except Prontera. Warping is a big part of RO. It's a big world. Who wants to wait for a non VIP party member to cross the Morroc desert to join them in a Angeling Hunt. No one!

I think warps should be available from every town, maybe not the same amount VIP members get, but at least some basic functionality.
