Hello...
In Korea, RO was became a paid game.
We have to pay about $20 per a month.
But.. infact it's service quality is same with BETA service game.
Server is downed so often, it has so many bug and has poor
balance between classes.
So.. So almost Korean RO users claim about poor service
of Gravity which is the developer and service provider of RO.
And almost Korean users say "We are BETA testers pay $20 per a month".
But Gravity did nothing. I Gravity they regard users as shit.
Already many users quit play RO cause of server down, bugs
and rude attitude of Gravity.
Today, we can't play RO for about 4 hours.
Guys.. Will you pay money for RO after RO will became paid game?
Plz.. think about this again.

It's going to take a lot to get me to play RO when it goes PTP. Right now Gravity has a chance of doing the right thing. Which whould be to learn from the bad korean launch and not make those mistakes again with the other versions of the game. While it dosn't look like they are doing this, there's always "hope" Having Beta tested games for the last 3 years, mostly MMO's, I can say that gravity is doing an awful job at it. I think in large part this is due to having an open beta. While people might have complained about it being a closed beta and not being able to get into it, this still whould have let them control the game enviroment a lot easyer. The Reason we have beta's is to make sure the game turns out good for the commercial release... The Reason Gravity has an RO beta is to make people happy by letting them play the game early. Which it's not doing.
Now the real right thing would be for Gravity to just hand IRO's code off to a real american gaming company to bring it up to spec. Heck I still dosn't know why they didn't throw in water that reflects.  ;; |

| it doesnt matter to gravity one way or another, from what I heard they already earned enough money on the "opening day" in korea to support them for a LONG time and already make a profit. I don't know why people would keep paying money for an inferrior unfinished product. Not that the game is bad, but gravity MAKES it bad. |

while i agree that the korean pay-to-play sounds more like pay-to-betatest, it is their right to take away any accounts and make ppl pay at anytime. while i didnt read the TOS im sure it was in there. It is a test after all. well i think they should beta longer, but its their choice, so o well. =/

Really? I heard that they flopped on opening day. It kinda makes sense since the International server was shut down 1-2 weeks later. Two conflicting rumors...I wonder which is right.

Now i dont know much about the software itself, but what I do know is that it is a company's perogative to turn at a profit above all else - this means that if a company doesnt know what it's doing, it can have product trouble, inferior services, overall low quality. Any business is this way, whether it's in Europe, the Americas or on the moon - money is the driving force behind products of this nature. The ususal way to save money is to sack employees (reference to the CEO layoff in another post) or kill projects. Since this is a new product, neither is really possible.
But hey, dont get all angry because a company releases a helf-complete product - look at Winblows 95, 98, NT or ME. All sucked eggs if you ask me - all were released, then patched, then upgraded, then fixed again - sometimes for free, sometimes for money. The seven year gap between 3.1 and XP is not a great record for Microsoft, but they're still in business... (much to my personal dismay  ) Speaking of cyberdyne (how long do think it will be before Microsoft goes too far and computers wil lgo on a rampage? can you say - sky.net? bahahaha stupid joke, sorry.), what's happening withthe X-Box (heh heh Ex-Box)? Most people just call it the Halo machine and leave it at that. Anything good on it?
If you want to see a real crime, look at Vileplanet - they get files and beta for free, use a semi-stable network to send their sometimes-functional files across the globe, and make you pay for good service. (I'm really hateful on this topic, so I may be exaggerating)
While I'm not saying it's OK, I am saying that it will improve - hopefully in less than seven years, but things do get better with time.
Koreans: Hold on to your $20 for a few months and go to it then.
For those of us in the western world (and europe too I guess), you'll have toi wait a little longer to play a malfuncting game for free. You're still getting more than what you pay for here.

Well, it may not have been two whole minutes, butit was at least ninety seconds.
Similarly, I have been made into a punching bag when I get lagged and have a critter attacking me, but I cant return it's attacks. I have been knocked down by things I can kill in threehirts this way - usually if the lag getsthat bad I'll exit before I get totally annihilated.
-----
Yeah, well, a poring can STILL KILL YOU if it manages to get...
...
7288 hits.
Rememer that next time you see the little smiling pile - it can still kill you if you stand pewrfectly still.
No wait, I'm wrong, they wont attack on initiative and your first blow will kill.
Nevermind. |
