Ragnarok Online (GM email)

I went shopping around Prontera today for the first time in a while and was shocked to see how bad the population had shrunk. There are almost no shops near the fountain (center) of Prontera, and only about two venders near the tool shop. So sad to see such a great game go. It's so boring now because of how it is. I just can't get back into it. I spend my time AFK-ing hoping that the game will actually get back up on its feet.


Anyway, here is the email I sent to the GM's. Wonder what kind of responce I'll get.
(Note: I didn't proof read it at all, so expect many mistakes as I was typing fast just to get it out of the way)

Hello,

I'll keep the e-mail short as I'm sure you get quite a few of these.

Basically what troubles me is the declining amount of players that leave RO in such a short time leaving this game feeling empty.

I've been a iRO customer since open Beta 2, and I've learned a lot and had a bunch of great times with this game, as well as the honor to lead a great guild with wonderful guild mates (-The Fallen Angels-). This has to have been one of the most thrilling MMORPG I've ever played. I usually get bored of them pretty quickly too after a month or so. But this game has grasped me since Beta 2.

Now obviously, if you compare now to then, there is a huge, huge difference in population. I joined this game because of all the players it had. There was so much to do and so many people. I love competition and thats what this game had lots fo offer. It was rare to see a map empty, but now its just too common and its really horrible to see that its just getting worse.

I could go on, but lets cut to the chase. I've heard several rumors that this game is seeing its last breath very soon. I highly doubt this myself as its just a rumor. But is there going to be anything done to bring back players and restore RO to what it once was? Obviously not as big as when it was F2P, but at least something decent.

Chaos Prontera feels like Sakray from a year ago. You guys said you had made a decision with Sakray, and I hope its something that'll make everyone happy and every bring a few extra players back or something. I know advertisement was mentioned, but is that really enough?

Basically I just don't want to see a good game die and not be able to play on my characters anymore. I also don't want the game to get boring either.


Anyway I'll stop here.

Thanks for listening and your time,
-Chrispy
