Kachua, is this really what you expect of us now WarpPortal? Insanity?

So let's do a bit of math here real quick and see how insane and predatory Kachua boxes are lately.

Let's assume that we are getting keys by buying kachua ore boxes and that we have no bonus WP to KP conversion.

 

100$ usd gives us 12,000kp

On kachua ores, 12,000kp gives us 60 keys.

If I want an item from kachua that is 0.19% chance, that is a 1 in 526 chance of getting the item.

So, average expected rate requires 526 keys to acquire by yourself.

If 100usd is 60 keys, that is roughly 875$ to acquire one of those items, on a normal average chance.

 

That is already a pretty hefty amount of money for a game item. But now consider this.

Bad luck exists. Very bad luck also exists.

Consider that Richard, the card desocket NPC, has once taken near 160m from me for one desocket.

The normal rate for that is 1/20, or 5% chance. That is 8x the average expected chance.

 

Now let's apply this to our previous case. With very bad luck, that means it could take 7000$ usd to acquire an item.

How excessively ridiculous is that?

 

But wait, it gets better!

This current Kachua list, we have a box, at 0.19% chance, that contains 12 different helmets.

So, to get a specific helmet, by yourself, on normal rates, would require you to spend about 10,500$ usd.

Now, apply some very bad luck to this, and this could reach 84,000$. For a game, helmet.

 

Absolute, insanity.

Now you might say, yeah but a ton of people are going to open those and so that's how we get them.

Sure, but in the end, this is still the amount of money that players need to inject into the game to create one of those items regardless.

Again, absolute, insanity.

 

It doesn't help that kachua box rates are plagued by useless items.

Alchemist box? Get that -_- out of here. Same with Yggdrasil boxes.

Remove the generic class shadows too while you're at it.

Would go a long way to bring the rates back to something a bit more bearable.

 

There will be no money from me anymore WarpPortal.

Also yeah, I know you can get lucky too. Good for you if you do.

Rant over.

1 Billion Sphere - Improvement for trading

Hey, GM team.   It isn't new that we are still having several issues with every trading performed in the game with items above 1 billion zeny (scams!). bRO (Brasil Ragnarok Online, managed algo by Warp Portal) has the solution for us, it is the 1 Billion zeny sphere:   You can exchange 1,000,000,000 Zeny for a 1 Billion Sphere or vice versa with the NPC "Shibanqueiro". Which can be found at the Lighthalzen bank (lhz_in02 25, 19).   Notes: Only characters level 140 or higher can make the exchange. You can buy or sell only one sphere at a time. A fee of 500,000 Zeny is charged for both selling and buying the sphere. The sphere cannot be sent via RODEX.       Source:  Negociação - bROWiki   More of this, directly from a Warp Portal BR post:  Nova moeda: Esfera de 1 Bilhão de Zenys | Ragnarök Online – MMORPG gratuito! - Warpportal Brasil (playragnarokonlinebr.com)   This is something that has been since 2020 in bRO, would...

Why does it take 9 months to delete a character?

I tried to delete 2 characters from my account but then it says my characters will be deleted in 9 months. 9 months is too freaking long to wait for, i would have expected a week. Who had the ridiculous idea that to delete a character it would take the same time to make a baby? Index: WarpPortal Forums https://ift.tt/9oYTPzn

When did we start giving more and more tolerance to ill-mannered behavior?

It looks like we are not executing our in-game rules (at least not as much) any more. This is a major reason why players are more fed up this time (4th job update) than 17.1 or 17.2 updates, although all of them came with extended maintenance time and a number of bugs. Proof, finding, screenshots and replays in this tread are collected from trusted sources in the community.   The in-game rules I mentioned here are referring to the staff posts or replies from the following links: https://forums.warpportal.com/index.php?/topic/247414-mvp-rules/ https://forums.warpportal.com/index.php?/topic/202141-ro1-in-game-rules-and-guidelines/ https://forums.warpportal.com/index.php?/topic/178399-ingame-rules/   1. suspected duplicator For previous discussions please see: https://forums.warpportal.com/index.php?/topic/256774-why-server-down-so-frequently-now/ In summary: Players can take advantage of some server disconnections to duplicate items (confirmed by a coincident deal rig...
