Thread: Attention devs

First off, i been a monthly subscriber for 4 years now but i ended it for multiple reasons. K mostly for GW2, its more of turbine fault on that one.

plz let us play hobbit runekeepers, or hobbit champs. Only then will lots of people come back and play them, i know i will. I know no new classes will come, but at least let us play classes on specific race and not be restricted.

plz merge servers. Brandywine, landy, and Elendimir are the only servers that have life. I can back this up because i tested all the servers, its dead. Also if no merge will happen instead give each account a free transfer for only 1 characters. Its not my fault my servers (yes servers) are dead.

plz fix pvmp. ffs Im talking to the walls on this matter. Just add a new map/content, i think its now time after idk 5 years? sad. For those who say, this is a "pve" game. FALSE.

If this is ignored i know lots of people wont hesitate to leave the game and move onto something else, GW2 maybe? Speaking for myself, if its not fixed ill have a 90% chance of never coming back lol.

There probably ought to be more restrictions, not fewer. As for RKs...a fair number of people think they were a mistake to add in the first place, but having been added, the restriction to Elves and Dwarves has at least some justification.

Not everyone likes crowded servers. If you think the one(s) you play on don't have enough people, you can start new characters on more heavily populated servers...or pay to have your characters moved.

In what way is saying that LoTRO is (primarily) a PvE game false?

Yawn. Yet another prediction that the new Game of the Week will be the death LoTRO. How many has it been now? Six? Eight? More?

You can't know what other people do. This statement is clearly erroneous.

Here you get to the truth. There is a 90% chance they will get one more customer if they make all these changes. They may one cause one or more current customers to quit because of your wants.

Does not appear to be a good use of their resources expending them to try and convince a former player to return. When they could spend the money to attract replacement customers. Or do things that retain their core customer base.

These kind of games have customer loss every day. The money has to be spend to try and delay a customer from making the decision to leave. Or spend the money to attract a replacement customer. Perhaps after a customer gone for a while, wave a little carrot to get them to come back because it is new again.

Merging servers is a HUGE mistake. Not everyone likes highly populated servers. You also have to keep in mind that by merging servers you have the problem with names, kinships & housing. By Turbine merging servers, it makes it look like the game is dead. You want a highly populated server to play on then roll a new toon on Brandywine or transfer a toon there.

I have been thinking of posting something like this for a while now...

I really love the Great River expansion. The Isengard instances have all been awesome. I was not a fan of ROI and I think I complained about it more than I should. Well, I am back in love with LOTRO after going through Great River. Kudos.

Just a counter point to the OP.

You could learn a lot from them.

This post made me laugh irl. See mighty balanced well-deserved reputation post by "W.H. Heydt?
What a well rounded person he is saying what he said in that post, seems like a real fanboy to me.
Did i mention this game will die because of GW2 or any other game in that matter? NO.
Very well-deserved reputation person, that i can learn from.

Try listening to ones suggestion and not taking small part from it. Its a suggestion thread not a flame one.

Another post that made me laugh, thanks.
plz read the thread title. >>> Attention devs <<<

I like my "dead" server tyvm.

I quit the game when it was the recommended server. I can't stand playing on a crowded server. I had to turn off almost every chat channel, had to fight for mobs, etc. It was a real pain, so I stopped playing. If when I came back, it was still like that, I wouldn't be playing again. I don't enjoy overly-crowded games. At all.

Also, I really like the name of my server, and the others aren't as awesome. : P

If you really want attention from the devs...posting in the Forums is *not* the way to do it. The best way to have a chance of getting your desires in front of the devs (and it would still be a slim one), would be to send a *private* message to the Community Manager--Sapience.
