Wish Posted December 17, 2010 Report Posted December 17, 2010 Dear ForsakenRO players, We have found several places where people have posted the locations to the storyline NPCs and the quest items. Frankly, we find this appaling. We specifically asked that no details about the quest be spread or posted in public places. Personally, I feel that that was a small request in return for how much time and effort was put into designing the quest. Because of these players and the players who choose to abuse this, we are delivering a warning. If the data regarding the storyline quest is not removed, we will be forced to remove the storyline quest from the server. If you have any information regarding this, please contact Genesis or myself. Also, rest assured that the one spreading this information will be banned if they do not come forward willingly.Thank you. ~ForsakenRO GM Team
Nadtorious Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 :O Take the Frigg Shield away from them . End .
Justice Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Sadly, that won't be enough to fix the problem.
November Thunder Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 Well i would be saddened because im half down the quest to find out thatall my effort was for nothing and it would be removed before i finish the quest. Please take into consideration the other people who are still doing the quest
Poringly Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 Well i would be saddened because im half down the quest to find out thatall my effort was for nothing and it would be removed before i finish the quest. Please take into consideration the other people who are still doing the questI agree w/ you! :O && I'm almost half way there in doing the quest. ;3
Azurefox Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 Could turn off use of the First NPC so that new people can't begin the quest, but those already on it have the ability to finish.
barhe Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 I agree, just take the first NPC in order for them not to start the quest.. Because I'm almost done with the quest too.. It would be tragic if it will be removed right away.. Q_Q
Veracity Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 What is tragic is when the staff spends a lot of hard work and dedication to make something unique and special and people do the one thing they were asked not to. If this is removed, you can thank your fellow players who have no appreciation and are lazy and selfish.
Wish Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Posted December 20, 2010 Exactly. We only asked one simple thing, that the locations not be spread around. Yet our players can't even give us that little respect?
Wish Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Posted December 20, 2010 Thank you soooo much for throwing my work back in my face, Casio. And to all out there who are using his information and the information others put out there. Thank you for making the work worth my time. I honestly never thought that helping people and trying to make them happy could make you feel this terrible. Thank you. The storyline was supposed to be something fun for everyone to do, something to keep them occupied to drag away from the monotony of sitting in town all day long. It was supposed to have friends working together to get a great reward. I'm glad it was appreciated.
November Thunder Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 Well im sorry wish but i too would like no not even like i would love to get rid of all those who cheated away something that you worked so hard on. My deepest apologies to you Wish i hope the people who are seeing this that cheated understand the pain they caused you. And if i hear anything about the cheater's somehow ill let you know : )
Wish Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Posted December 20, 2010 Thank you. I really do appreciate that.
November Thunder Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 My pleasure Your a fantastic GM!!
Azurefox Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 It does suck when you put a lot of effort into something, you make a small request and its thrown back in your face. Bit of experience in that field. I haven't personally started the storyline quest, nor would I know where. Which is kinda nice. If I ever wanted, I'd have to hunt around or something. I'm sorry that people can't respect the smallest of requests, but I still feel the best solution, at present, would be to remove the first NPC. See how things go in a few months and potentially re-open the quest line. See if you can't take those couple months and snuff' out most of the leaked information. Then when it feels secure enough, open the quest line back up. Or, more radically, change the positions of a couple NPCs. That's more work though :/
November Thunder Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 My only request is make it so the people who already started the quest can go back and talk to the first npc but people who havent just make it so the npc doesnt say anything to them because people who are still on the first npc are there because essence of fire takes along time to get that is my only concern atm.
Leaz Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) why not change the npc locations once in awhile? that might be extra work, but it will probably lead to less cheating? Edited December 20, 2010 by Leaz
Xtopher Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 @Wish: You did a fantastic job at putting the quest together. As you said about friends working together; the quest took me and my friend two whole weeks to finish while working in shifts. It's easily the longest and at times the most annoying quest I've ever done but definitely worth it and definitely well put together. I know that I, Nuerotic, and Nines all felt that our minds were going to melt at times trying to figure out where you stuck some of the NPCs. I really looked forward to more quests like this but I completely understand how you feel your work is fruitless when things like this happen. @Leaz: I agree with moving the NPC's around. Is there a way to make the NPC's only appear at certain times or to move between maps automatically? I know this may be asking a bit much... The quest items could also have their drop rates lowered to make it more difficult. If people are set on making it easier I feel a fair response is making the quest and future quests that much more difficult / annoying.
Wish Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Posted December 21, 2010 @Everyone Yes, we're planning something along those lines. @Xtopher Thanks for the support. :)
November Thunder Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 Well Wish i would like to let you know that one idk if therees more than one but the sitei knew of that had the information on it was taken down. Just letting you know : )
Sorrow Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 i was very disapointed at the action of this player. If serves as consolation, i would not use the guide on that link. i'm sorry for the lack of consideration of this player, and sorry for the rest of the community taht's gonna pay for it. It appears i won't have time to make my shield then! xD For all that's worth, thank you for all the hard work put into the creation of the storyline/quests.
Wish Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Posted December 23, 2010 The storyline quest will remain. Unless this happens again. However, for right now, we're just moving the NPC locations.
Forum~ Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Meh, I'll probably never do this quest because it's so time-consuming T.T. I do want the Frigg's Shield though... Oh well. The suggestion about moving the NPC's... if that is done, will it be a completely new map or somewhere else on the same map.
-Krelian- Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Eh i dont know, do what u feel right.. but then, be fair to those who are new in this server. To those who dont know ur custom maps i guess?. And btw i just notice that the one's who agree in ur messages are those who have the shield, not only one but 2 or 3 or 4 and so on... omg. sorry folks and peace :D but then again! i like the way u handle ur server, u giving chance to those who cant afford to donate. u have lots of quest's and balance stuff's. SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH :D :D
