As paying customers, I think there are a number of things that need to be addressed. This game cannot continue to function the way it is. We are not paying for this game for our health, we are paying to be entertained. I assure you, being PK'ed in any shop, particularly the jewellery shop in Bichon, is neither amusing or entertaining. I am a lvl 27 warrior, most of the time I don't get hassled, but I feel sorry for ANYONE under level 22. They are being picked on, and no one is protecting them, or me, for the greater benefit of the game.My solutions to the above are as follows, (I am sure it wouldnt be hard to implement such ideas) 1. Make shops a PK free zone where no one can damage anyone, but put an option on all shopkeepers to teleport out of the shop and back into the centre of the current town. For instance, the place where you relocate after dying in a town. 2. Remove the curse free zone of shops, so that if you kill someone without just cause (i.e. not retaliation), it curses your weapon. Perhaps guarantee the curse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do the developers actually give a damn what their paying customers think? If you do, reply to this post with your proposed solutions to the above and the following... 1. Why should anyone be forced to join a guild? You are not forced to join a guild I hear you say. For example, I am lvl 26, I need a lvl 26 weapon/item. Hmmmm, what drops lvl 26 items? Lemme see, WhiteEvilBoar, EvilTong, EvilSnake, WoomaTaurus, ZumaTaurus, SuperZumaGuardian. Right, now I know what drops lvl 26 items, I shall go hunt one down. WRONG! A lvl 26 character cannot solo these mobs. Perhaps maybe a wizard could if there were no other mobs around him, but what about us Warriors and Taoists? You can solo SOME of these mobs at lvl 26 you say? Okay, say a lvl 26 character actually manages to kill one (after emptying his backpack of all his potions, hmmmm about 30-40k's worth maybe?). After managing to kill it, what are the chances of getting a decent drop? Not much. I have killed 7 EvilTongs in the last 12 hours. I got HalfMoon book and a bunch of useless crap. Its a no wonder items are selling for millions. By the way, the most money I have ever had was about 300k. High level characters = rich. Lower level characters = struggling to afford the next hunt. Lets think about every paying customer shall we, and give everyone an even chance. I am not saying give newbies millions, but lets just make things a bit more stable, thus more enjoying. 2. Where are the new lands and quests we were all promised when this game went pay to play? We have all been fooled! Damnit, I wish the sales guys that work at my company were as good as the MIR developers, my profit margin would triple. Congratulations to the MIR team for selling music to a deaf man. The reason why there is so much PK'ing is because once you reach lvl 30 or higher, levelling up takes such an incredibly long time and people get bored of levelling up their characters. What does this leave them to do? With no new lands, no new quests, they are bored. So they simply show off what they DO have, and go on a PK frenzy in the shops. Either give them something to do or ban them. This kind of behaviour is ruining the game. If they are so bored that they have to resort to idiotic behaviour like PK'ing in shops, then they should either find another game to play or go and do something constructive. It is your duty to prevent this and such people should not be allowed to ruin the game for everyone else. If any of you have read this much, and agree with what I am saying, then post a short message saying so, and lets demand value for money. WE ARE THE CUSTOMER after all. Lets not pay for something that is dull and annoying. Unless we all make a stand and make our feelings known, nothing will ever change. The bottom line is, stablize the economy of the game, give players purpose, make the game ENJOYABLE! Please add your own comments and wishes to this post and lets see if the developers really do give a damn, and reply to us. Regards Maver1ck P.S. We NEED items and weapons in stores. Sure, make them expensive (but affordable), make them something you have to work for. At least we would have some purpose. Also, why not have dungeons that only characters above or below a certain level can enter?

The chances of you or the other pillocks that PK in shops stopping if I or anyone said STOP I AM TRYING TO SELL, are 1 million to one and you know it. Besides, a newbie would be probably be dead b4 he/she finished typing the sentence anyway, so SHUT THE F**K UP and go and annoy your little brother or something because that is all you ammount to. A stuck up bully who picks on people who are not bigger than you. Why dont you try PK'ing someone who is 5 levels above you and see how far you get. In fact, that WOULD be amusing.

You hit the nail on the head m8. It seems that you do have an ounce of intelligence after all. It IS a game, and thus designed to entertain. I am not sure that someone of your intellect would possess a dictionary, but why dont you check the definition of game in it if you do. Do not despair if you don't have one, there are places designed for idiots like you. You will most likely find such a place in your local Town/City Centre. It is called a LIBRARY. If you ask the nice girl at the counter she will be able to direct you to the nearest dictionary. Even though you might be bored with MIR, it doesn't mean that everyone is. If players do not air their opinions then we will never get the improvements that we want. Why should we have to put up with pathetic, self absorbed idiots like you? ------------------------ Regards Maver1ck, LVL 27 WARRIOR [The Syndicate] Edited by - maverick on 12/27/2001 11:46:11 |

It's not that I am pissed off, I am annoyed.Sure, why dont you hit me, damage my armour/rings/bracelets etc... Like I don't mind logging out and back in again after being PK'ed, having to waste potions replenishing my health. Damage what little items I have, and further reduce their lifespan. Think about it. If I want to be PK'ed in a shop, I will say so thank you. Why don't you guys use this theory instead, and assume that people don't want to be PK'ed unless they ask to be. If PK'ing amuses you so much, do it amongst yourselves. In fact, why dont the developers create a room called "THE IDIOTS SOLUTION TO BORED SHOP" and just make it a PK frenzy zone. If you are bored, take a hike. Go back to doing whatever it was that you were doing before MIR existed. Which no doubt consisted of getting ridiculously drunk & collecting empty aluminium cans and selling them back to stores for recylcling, because you are so idiotic you don't even know where the local social security office is, and this is the only way you know to find more money for alchohol. ------------------------ Regards Maver1ck, LVL 27 WARRIOR [The Syndicate] Edited by - maverick on 12/27/2001 12:00:41 |

One or the other m8, either way is a step in the right direction. Now why didn't you think before you typed? :P ------------------------ Regards Maver1ck, LVL 27 WARRIOR [The Syndicate] |

But if its just a room, it wouldnt be a shop, because you wouldnt be able to buy anything from there, so it wouldnt be the same << In a picky mood, feel free to ignore/flame

I agree. Pking in the shops is getting really annoying now. I was in there selling and reparing (after wooma guardian killin) and Faisal and Dragonoffire start pkin me (with help). Now I like a good laugh and I have joined in once in a while, but NEVER go for n00bs, and only for those who are pking and agree to a fight. So, i gets killed, after nearly killin Faisal the n00b aske for help and dragonoffire is there helping plus 2 other wizzies. I was ther originally to sell and repair, but had no time to do this cos n00bs like Faisal and dragon were pking me. I swear to dragon and the char gets upptiy about it, saying there's kids online. Hmmm I think to myself, kids on MIR never heard swearing, my my what a nice place this is, (get the sarcasm?) Anyway I tell dragon that im annoyed cos i wanted to use the shop like a shop, she tells me they would stop if i said i was sellin. She lied of course, cos they attacked without provocation. Oh and there IS an area where peeps can pk all day long, it's called the training areas, or contest room. My point is that, pkers are morons who cant take on peeps their own level (Faisal begged for help) accuse others of using pots (when they do) and generally make the game crap for everyone. Pkin in shops should stop!! And Faisal i have no problems with you m8 or the others, but ffs w8 until peeps want to have a fight. I havent got halfmoon or a g.axe, but i nearly whooped ur aSs if it wasnt for the help u had, now think about it. You think ur high lvl eh?? LOL. Oh and Maverick , I'm with you, bored chars should bugger off somewhere else and not spoil it for others. TAGRED: WARRIOR OF THE HIGHEST ORDER (not a guild) I will rise again

I totally agree with u Mav, have nothing much really to add. We r paying for something we dont get, and we r not being attended as costumers, but as fools that will pay forever. Well, after being pissed off by many ppl (some of them even called me a n00b...lol im playing since July!!!), ppl who only dare to go onto ppl with lower lvl then them (if ur bored get urself something but dont piss the others off WTF!)...i think i will leave the game soon. I´m f***** tired, really tired of trying to have a bit of entertaint, even friendship, and being f**** by those foolish kids(at least with the knowledge of kids, perhaps even less) that are spreading through the game. So... at least while im still in MIR i will support any initiative to do something to do this game a GAME. Nice1 Maverick, m8. Ur totally right!!

I think CH have proven today, just how much PK'ing in shops needs to be addressed, don't you agree?I am a member of the guild... The Syndicate We are allied with Chosen Heroes At the risk of losing my membership in the Syndicate, I will NOT be assisting any member of CH after the stunts they have pulled today. CH don't need me I hear you say? Maybe not, but my morals stand firm. ------------------------ Regards Maver1ck, LVL 27 WARRIOR [The Syndicate] Edited by - maverick on 12/27/2001 19:52:51 |

sorry but i totally agree the pkin in shops pisses me off so much,i mean if you want to twat about its not as thow u havnt anywere else to do it,u have all the bloody map. then again we all know why they do it in shops ,because they dont drop anything if killed. so therefore they dont do it outside because there scared of losing stuff. now if u can all remember when this problem occured some time back in bw with the book shop it was cured over night with a reboot and they put the npc outside. now in my opinion just do that put all npc's outside therefore leaving the morons to get on with what they want to do inside. because when i have played for 2/3 hrs and have a full bag and just want to sell and get on with it not avoid idiots pkin. as for the other real bad thing. killing the noobs, if all u pkers get yer head out yer arses and actually stop to think for 1 minute (if u can actually mange that)the noobs are the most important people in this game,y you ask,simple because without fresh and new players the game base will die,they need more players to get more money to continue with the game. so think about it b4 u kill a noob,because if i had just started and kept getting killed everytime i entered a shop the last thing i would want to do is start paying for the game. |
