Default Rune Markings

New players are constantly finding runes, getting excited about this valuable item, and then continuously asking how they use it or sell it for a fortune.

A couple of changes to the rune icons could help eliminate the new player frustration, and relieve the rest of us from answering the same questions 20 times a day.

1. Change the cost of a rune from 250,000 and higher to around 2,000. No one buys runes in town stores anyway. Perhaps two years ago when the game was new, but not now. This would eliminate the new player's belief that the rune is worth a lot of game gold.

2. Change the sale value of a rune from (0) to (1) gold, so that it can be sold to town stores. The new players get very frustrated when they are told the thing has no value, and that they should just destroy it. This would make a rune like a piece of silk or other collected resource.

3. Add a statement that clan membership is required to use a rune. New players cannot understand why they cannot use the rune they found.

These are minor fixes that would alleviate new player frustration and eliminate at least some of the repeated asking of the same questions all day long.

Thank you.

TJ

We believe these are working as intended.

Full support here too!!

Just to add... lowering the prices is not of profit to anyone anyways and the actuall cost indicated on the runes might be used (if has not been done by now) to scam people who is just starting.

Only downside is we wont be seeing messages like "OMG OMG OMG i got a rune worth 250000 gold!!!!! im rich"

would be nice maybe they could give each rune worth 1k for each rank (sellback) make them worth something.

or maybe it was intended that the market for runes be entirely player based?
