It's time to nuke the server.

RoR wouldn't need to delete any characters you could even keep Vict/Triumph and sentinel jewel like RoR has designed + Rest of the PvE changes well. Lotd /Tovl/City Should be reverted. If they just reseted to 1.4.8 Combat formulas + Everything how the game functioned in AoR is the important part here. You had Under lvl 40 conq/invader sets with RR 40-50 only needed to wear full invader. Full Warlord was rr56 or something like that. RoR should keep all the SC gear from mercenary to Vict/Triumph+wpns just lower requirements to use them. Imo this would be what is the best for this server population wise

Just wipe the server...

Btw, we live in the future and have the most advanced AI ever right now.

Most who play this game play it because it hails from a time when MMO games presented a challenge, they play it because the mechanics require some actual effort to master. Turn RoR into a 'modern' MMO and, in my opinion, most of the player-base will leave.

Besides, the game-mechanics here have already been 'eased' over time. There were days when leveling actually meant something, where acquiring the armor and weapons you wanted actually required effort. The process here has yet to reach the level of being either easy or effortless, but its close.

I dont get these posts, if u dont like it dont play the game period. I took a brek for 1,5y cause I didnt like the WS changes but I never asked for everyone else to suffer by asking for a wipe, get over yourself and either play or leave

This is the Classic Stockholm RoR Syndrome

And honestly, the game would benefit from making things less of a grind. There’s no real reason for long, drawn‑out progression when the peak population barely hits a thousand.

Faster experience, faster realm rank, cheaper currency costs, better solo paths for PvE.

Agreed.

I have never understood why the devs have actually made the grind in ROR harder than AOR and less rewarding all while facing the blobs of BIS geared veterans that this game has become. IF a player is committed to this game an easier grind would make them (me at least) more likely to roll new toons and try other classes.

Another aspect that's getting stale and making players /yawn into leaving the game, the blobfest it's turned into. Gone are the days of realm pride and best rewards for zone conquest. I remember back live taking a zone meant upwards of 50K+ RP and the reward for the whole realm in zone of turning in resources. IMO this led to the guild/alliance WB and PUG WB teamwork that the mechanic would generate to take a zone. Now the best RP comes from kills and it's only amplified with AAO, resulting in the WC to WC blob pushes while zone building gets ignored.

Reset would change absolutely nothing, it will still have same failure it has now with a non working RvR system , a SC rework that didnt work, efforts put into Ranked that only lead to fewer ppl playing it and a continues kill-trading farmfest instead of a working Campaign. Scheduling brought less players into City, LotD is scheduled so almost no NA do it, I can go on and on with the failures of current RoR and all you achive with a server wipe is loosing even more players.

Devs should have put efforts into saving/reworking RvR years ago instead of these futile class and gear reworks that no one asked for.

like RoR can even afford it

I just wonder what this wipe would solve. Nothing. Commited veterans would be geared and rr80 much faster than casuals. They will start farming pugs and in 1-2 months we would be where we are now.
Resets does nothing. Changing game mechanics does.

Its true that dev team is really small and even with tese resources devs focus on game aspects nobody asked for. PvE was fine, yet it has been "adjusted" to be harder, because harder=fun right? Nobody asked for gear "balance" neither, yet devs decide to put much time and effort in to it for sake of "new players" that are nowhere to be seen. This game is played mainly by veterans. New/younger audience is looking elsewhere.

Nothing worth acquiring is easy. No, please no!

Just wipe the server. It’s an alpha, and at this point a full reset would actually help. With all the new gear changes coming in, people should start fresh anyway. And honestly, the game would benefit from making things less of a grind. There’s no real reason for long, drawn‑out progression when the peak population barely hits a thousand.

Faster experience, faster realm rank, cheaper currency costs, better solo paths for PvE. Give every class more ways to survive and self‑heal. Let the game feel like it belongs in 2026 and maybe we pull in another few thousand players. Why not aim higher?

I’m not trolling. I’m completely serious. The game needs a shakeup. If guilds get upset, that’s fine. Everyone knew it was an alpha going in.


Btw, we live in the future and have the most advanced AI ever right now. Why don't you guys get it to help you add the skaven and lizard men as playable armies/classes into the game?

Did not notice you posted a second post in regards to you being upset with the server. Eldriyth, you have played for years on the server off and on, I get the frustrations we have all had those from time to time. Like I stated in a previous thread of yours, be the change you are looking for in others. Lead warbands, rally the troops for scenarios. If you feel strongly about starting over you can do that too. I have leveled at least 4 kotbs from 1 to 40 on this server a few Chosen and an AM/WP or two just because I wanted the leveling experience again. Good luck sir, I hear you and I know you are frustrated. The team reads all the threads (well at least I know I do).
