Rubies of Eventide

I was a "paid" player.  The game is free, but you can make "donations" of $5 per month in 3 mth. or more installments.

Sincerely, the biggest issue I had with the game was how amazingly RUDE many of the GMs are to new players.  They will never grow a larger player base with the GMs they presently have.  Now, granted, GMs are really only other players that have been players for a long time and applied and became "GMs", it's not like WoW where the GMs actually get paid and work for the company or anthing.  But OMG....they are tremendously rude sometimes.

I have watched numerous new people to the game ask questions in the help channel (which isn't actually FOR help, it's for technical issues with the game ONLY) only to be diced and sliced by some impatient and rude GM.

Now the UPside to this is....you are very likely to find SOME kind soul in the player community that will help you.  There are a lot of very nice people that do play, although the PvP servers are short on ANY kind of "niceness"  LOL!  The PvP servers are a display of cruel, cursing, impatient jerks.  However, I found that on the other servers that I made characters on, there were plenty of nice people willing to help you when you're new.

Personally, I think this game is worth a shot to try, if you haven't tried it.  The graphics are not HORRIBLE, the gameplay is good, it has some unique sorts of activities, there ARE actually QUESTS (unlike some games that are just grind, grind, grind), and there is more character CLASS customization than I have ever seen in ANY game bar NONE.  Each character is vastly different from any other player created character because there is so MUCH customization in classes.

I have never had issues with rude GMs in any of the servers. In fact, when I ask a question about the game in the help channel I get 5 people telling me what to do. As for the PvP server, I haven't played on it very much so I can't say much about it. But I can agree with you that the player base is very friendly, and the class options are amazing. A high level player made me a staff that was built to fit the types of magic I was using and what class I was, and yes, if you haven't tried RoE and your looking for a deep game with semi-good graphics and a unique gameplay, it's worth a look.

I have. I was helping a player and a gm muted me. Suffice to say that was a good 2 years ago, I think that my character is probably still muted lol.

I'm sure it's changed since someone has reposted this thread. Suffice to say, its much much better and you all really should have some patience and give it a chance.

I’ve never personally had a problem with GMS but they can be quite stubborn and one-sides in their actions…but isn’t that their job? Giving the final decision?

No votes needed.

I believe it is and without them the game just wouldn’t be able to function as properly, although now that there is moderation in the ex-halberd server/nemesis ….things aren’t as fun as they used to be, a rowdy bunch we were really, obnoxious too but that was hally for you, constant war and secretive plotting --- now we’ve limitations and granted mutes, suspensions and banning that happen often enough to become weekly habit, old players are lost and quite disappointingly so..

Unfortunately that’s the way the cookie crumbles and nothing can be done about it. Otherwise…the game is good. All in all, it isn’t the most exciting RPG in the world but it has its upsides, the many friends – I’ve made and the hours I’ve spent trying to over come other players! All, of which I’ve yet to succeed but I’m getting there!!

The GMs...

Well, ya know, there just players. They dont wanna GM... they wanna play...

So, if they sound kinda upset, its prolly cuz someone bugged em while they were tryin to level.

Or pulled em out in the middle of a party with their buds. Thats just da way it is...

But, ya know, the GMs aint there half the time anyway... So dont worry bout it.

But ya gotta be careful... Cuz the rules aint written down.

So ya never really know... Keep quiet and just do yer own thing if ya really wanna try this game.

GM’s aint the half the time? Are you kidding? When last have you been there. They play everyday. In fact: Your not allowed to kill there playable toons. Nope, why? Because its an annoyance and can seemingly draw you into something called “Perma-banning”.

A total power trip if you ask me. If they’re on a normal ‘character’ used for playing purposes, do they expect high praise? I don’t really know but that’s just the way I see it.

Be aware and warned that GM’s lurk all over now. So becareful of who you gank, it may be your last strike before your banned.

not lately risty pipSqueek killed dunny 10 times a while ago no ban I think it was about 10 for pipsqueek and 5 for dunlavin <- gm playable character

Pip'squeak you say? Well -- that may be so.

But they're both GM's.

In fact, they live together as far as I know.

So does that really count? I don't think so.

That was just friendly between them PVP.

I'm talking about everyone else attempting a little slaying action. Pirates, MI. Err...yeah, that would be about it. No one else would dare try, oh well...maybe eternity would!

I watched the NEMESIS chat screen closely at all times...
