This pattern of reboots, missing or broken items spells instances etc without any warning is beyond a joke now .
This a live server with paying - contribution customers that keep the server alive.
Its not a freaking test server for mods etc to switch things on and off as they wish ......
No warning no explanation yet again we kept in the dark and fed on rumours and bulshit.
Get proffesional for once and let the comunity know in advance .... time and time again this has happened.
I urge all contributors to stop for a while , I cant see any other way of communicating this to them , if they keep getting your money they will keep ignoring you ...
COMUNICATION please its not so hard ...................

Yes
1 HRS Warning yesterday for a server re-boot. Ok fine weekly maintenance etc understandable .
When servers come online RDD shut , various game shop items no longer available new npc apears from nowhere without any explanation etc .
RDD is only viable content for the momnet for smaller guilds or groups to complete with out hassle of PKing and grief play and bam its switch off no warning no explanation just some cyrptic message on the NPC ...... Now others including myself that do not PVP have nowhere to go of an evening.

Like i have asked for and many others have is Communication .... takes 5 mins to post - Re.boot today here are the changes planned and why ....

The same with the implementing of various items or changing them at a drop of a hat make some people tons of gold over night and others sat on usless items etc.
I coould list quite few more changes , both gameplay item etc that have occured without any comunication in the last year , Its your server you run in as you see fit , but Its us who decide to play on it etc kick a dog enough times and it will run off and never trust its master again .....
 
I agree.

I never brought this up, but during the skill update patch, all the spellbooks were changed to the cost of 100gg.
But within the week before the update, i bought Battlecharge, Luring cry from the game shop which costed 300gg each, and a few other books costing more than 100gg each.

Had i known this change was coming, i would never have spent those gg knowing that i could save atleast 400gg if i just waited a few days.

Really a bummer.
Theres usually consumer protection laws where you are able to get compensation if the products/goods you buy goes on sale/discount within 1 month of your purchase, atleast in Sweden.


So a notice of changes happening within the gamestore is very important because it directly effects on how players spends their money on your game.

News gets posted to the website. Re yesterday's reboot: https://www.thelegendofmir.com/short-reboot-on-all-servers/

The RDD NPC says "Coming Very Soon". This is not cryptic. In line with the above news post, we need to test that the update goes smoothly before implementing the new cave. Issues that may arise could take an unknown time to correct and so announcing a release date would be irresponsible.

Please feel free to list the other changes that are of issue.

In regards to item changes, this is done very rarely and only when considered utterly necessary. Announcing changes ahead of time tends to lead to griefing between those who know and those who don't. I personally deem it fairer to make these changes without announcing them. You may be either unlucky or lucky but at least you were not sold something which someone else knew was getting changed and you did not. Again, these types of changes only occur when we deep it utterly necessary.

I am very sorry you had such an unfortunate experience with the changes to the GameShop pricing for skill-books. Players are more than welcome to contact us to discuss these concerns and we do our best to accommodate despite the fact that the GameShop is a virtual shop in a computer game.

Maybe i was blind but certainily didn,t see when i checked when the banner anoucement was made ingame.
Still RDD is shut down why if you read your own text -------

"There will be a short reboot across all servers today to apply the latest updates.

We have been working to improve systems behind the scenes, to add new features (not yet released), and prepare for the future. This update will help us make sure that everything is working as it should be and so there will be nothing exciting for you to see in game."


No mention of RDD being shut what so ever , maybe as i am more Swedish nowadays my english has failed me completely and I need to use Google translate ....

I thought an Update just meant that to apply something new, progressional , I guess if you call a NPC that says Coming soon .... as something new then its a update ......
But still dont see why RDD had to shut down .
sincerly hope the old RDD will be in paralell with the new uber 1 and that the new uber 1 is not instance locked by and exsisting group in play meaning many primetime playing hours wasted trying to get your group or guild into the instance ......

The update was to systems behind the scenes, which should have very little noticeable difference to you. Assuming there are no bugs, like the GameShop.

Well this been thought out really well i must say ,

Fact 2-3 guilds each day hogging this instance until they clear it fully etc. may aswell say goodbye to another 20 odd players that play casual on this server instantly for a few months until the elitest have milked it ...........

Really unless the game arcitechture dont allow 2 rdds due hardware or network limits then cant understand this, I know when i wrote extra code for Ruby files 10 years ago its possible to truncate instances to different servers like events etc to prevent overloading on maps or x instance crashes. Easy way to achieve this was sub npcs which transports players , as the chances of having 2 players on the same map time clicking the same dialogue very remote ,there are many ways to control this if is and issue aswell . Can even have the NPC control the group summons etc useing a coded hidden fixed grouprecall command called by the npc not by group leader.

oh well its your server do as you see fit ....
 
It was a very difficult design choice, it has been thought about a lot, thank you for your concern and permission to continue running our server the way we see fit
 
There is still blue dragon palace open. That’s the ice version of rdd. Same aspect. Many floors, guild hunting, no pvp, lots of bosses.
Exp and mobs.

Aye i know m8 , this is not my beef to be honest , RDD in todays format is perfect for the casual group of friends to hang out , you dont need many to complete it its 1-2 hours run through and fun for any lvl past 130 .... plus the drop system on the server is very PVP boss based , so RDD was really nice to help others gear up a bit , I have run many RDDs with lower levels and to see their reaction to get a HC brace or something is reward enough for me .
As many know me I love to help people no matter what guild level etc , if i have time i gladly give it to assist others ....
be sad to see it go , but hey ho it is what it is ......

No offence but that ludicrous if it's that hard to complete with 20 floors. Other groupsa will be locked out forfor hours. Maybe implement a timer so you can only access it once a day.
 
the last thing ur gonna do after completing it is rush back lol. It’s 3 hours solid of intense pve. Also 200souls a pop and u get 0 from mobs inside.
