Very nice of you to take the time to say 'Hi' to the community and give an update. Though my avatar is only about 13 years old, he's been getting drunk plenty lol, whether that is legal or not, I'll let MA decide lol
I hope you get an RT Share going, that would only make sense, seems like all other areas are getting them these days, RT should be able to have it too.
Not sure if you're looking for feedback or not but here's a few things I'll volunteer if you care to hear it:
Rocktropia Armors/plates:
1. RT doesn't have a whole lot in terms of Armor anymore since the Jarhead armor BPs no longer drop (since at least 3 years now I think?), and most of the dragon parts don't drop making the plates impossible to craft, and the Modified Source Codes not dropping means the Malware also cannot be crafted... So what's left then? Disco, Stealth, Spam, Firewall... Disco is just a carbon copy of Jaguar, Stealth is the same as Martial, and spam, well, since the changes to armors in Loot 2.0, it's impossible to sell it... So while Ark enjoys some of the most popular armors in the game (Perseus and Pegasus), RT is left with nothing interesting to offer EU in terms of armors (Firewall MK-3 is nice but not much demand for that sadly, except during Easter Mayhem maybe). I really hope this changes soon. And I hope there will be an RT armor upgrade chain.
Player owned Instances:
2. I'm assuming that the privately 'owned' Instance concept is still alive and well seeing as there was recently an indication of a continuation of it via the new Dragon Kingdom, but I think Instance Key BP sales are something like 1 BP every 3 years or so? To me, the reason for this is quite simple: it's really not that easy to collect the needed bananas and I think that creates a big barrier to would-be investors/Instance owners. I've been buying bananas on RT since 2016 and I only have enough to buy a basement instance, which is not what I want. An investor could come along, want to buy the Castle or the Zeppelin, only to realize that the task of gathering the necessary bananas is just way over and above what they are actually willing to invest in terms of time. I think this is a barrier, it needs to be easier than this. I'm interested in the Tangerine Zeppelin but at this rate, it's going to take something like 10 more years...
Epic Dhampyre chain:
3. The Epic mission chain to get the Dhampyre is really awesome, I admire the thought and planning that went into designing it, truly nothing like this anywhere else in EU as far as I know. Sadly, very few people even know about it, which is sad really because it's designed to encourage collaboration and team work. The Dhampyre is totally worth the time and effort also, love that pet. Sadly, I feel that the last part of this chain isn't really of much interest (I believe you turn in your biodome antidote for a chance to loot an UL firewall-mk3 armor part). Seeing as Thunderbird goes for something like tt+2k, I feel that the last portion of this chain isn't really up to the playerbase's expectation of what should come next and that is a let down. But otherwise, I think this epic chain should be more widely known somehow, not sure exactly how that would be done exactly, but more people should know about it.
Also, I'd like to add some item points to my booths at City of Dreams, I've asked Doc, he said to contact MA about it. MA said to contact NDS... So now that Doc is no longer around, how do I go about requesting this? Are you even going to allow it? Would be nice if I could add 10 points or so per booth, I try to offer the community things they need there.
Cheers,
