Anyway, why is our reset in the middle of the afternoon, when people are halfway through their daily raiding? It makes no sense. Does this mean we're also gonna get the short end of the stick and be forced to have maintenance during the peak hours of Europe? Don't do this.
Not new to EU

They always could?

This is nothing new

Better start banning bots properly then, MOST of us do not want your incompetence here otherwise
>Niffleheim can now drop Superior Bracelet Gem Boxes
They always could
>Assorted text changes to match North American version
You can keep those half done translations and bottom tier skill names
>Friends list is categorized by on and offline, as well as being sorted by name
Yeah, because everyone had such a hard time on their eyes to see if friends names are either white or grey

"All players have access to 7 character slots (up from 6)"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Korea, players can have up to 20 character slots. Also, mentioned in December 2015/January 2016 developer notes, Premium Character Slots were changed to free.
Temp shared storage = you're forced to buy new tickets = more money for Nexon. Remember, if there's no logic behind their decision then the answer is money.
How does NA deals with gold farm bots and gold buy website advertisers ingame? You guys do still have them there?
We used to have them but we got rid of all those people in the last years.
Will our EU server be flowded with them again once we merge and fuq up our economy?
Please provide some inside information if you have it. Thanks.
Would like to know more about this. I honestly can't believe NA didn't have this. You can't possibly expect players to not experience crashes or connection loss when this game has such a horribly optimised client. It's even worse when raids such as Neamhain are released; how is it fair that you lose all your progress on such a long run due to not having such a QoL change?
Also, any news on NX selling? I know, bla bla bla it's banned on NA bla bla bla terms of use but hear me out, VFM's, EU needs to know.
This thing got implemented in EU for ages.
Not many of the newer players stick around for long after reaching a certain level as well because of the gold amount some weapons enchant scrolls are worth here. Too overpriced for the casual I suppose if you don't grind a lot and get lucky. Our event have varied from just bingo to attendance event lately giving us not much but cosmetic things, not even runes (enchant runes) to help us out, is like they force us to buy their overpriced runes from nexon depot.
I'm curious to know if our ping will still be the same or if it will get better with the merge as well, been playing the game for like 2-3 years now on and off, have quit a few times because of what I mentioned above. Also I'm mainly posting for the first time because I am surprised that you guys aren't complaining as much as I thought with all this that's going to happen. ( Been thinking of quitting for good but I am hopeful this is a start for our end to get better, seems like East is the trash can for all vindictus carelessness. ) That's just a little input of what we are going through over here.
We've been complaining since September and all our feedback, complaints and suggestions are either being ignored, silenced or responded to with the "thanks we'çl look into it.".
Worry not, a lot of EU are aware of how things are over there, and aside from a few people being happy to not deal with XE bugs anymore, this merge doesn't really hype anyone, far from that. (aside from one secret thing :^) )
-Yes we still have bots and if the Black Cypher program doesn't get them then there is little/none manual GM bot banning.
-Gold sellers in mega are fairly common and the same seller, who has been reported, can sometimes exist in mega up to a month or two . Once they are banned sometimes there's a week break before the next.
-There seems to almost always be spammers in general chat in the lower channels as well.
Its just an VIP now is that right? couse everywhere it says u'll get an VVIP there?
