  1. I'm a broke College student, I really don't have a ton of money. I can spare a few bucks here and there but at the end of the day 10 bucks is a lot of ramen packs or bottles of clean drinking water. An option for 5 bucks for 500 rose points so i can toss a smaller amount in when i have the money to spare would be nice. Especially since several items in the shop cost 500 or less. I don't know if there is any inherent reason for not offering it, but id like to request it. I don't really see any downsides to it since it makes it easier for us less fortunate to spend a little of what we have to spare on the game, which earns you money you otherwise probably wouldn't get from us.
  2. Stuff like the bean or pumpkin "pet" really feel insubstantial because they're just one off scrolls. Personally i think that these pets and other pets should be all class unique skill books that let you summon a single version of them. If anything you can strip any offensive properties and reduce their summon limit cost to 0, because right now they aren't doing anyone any good.
  3. Im partial to the ever nostalgic tree house character select, however i noticed a missing detail which gave the character select its charm. Back when the Tree House Character select was the main one, the house would actually hold each of your characters, they would sit in the chairs in various poses and even some leaning against the walls, and you could click on them individually to swap. When you made a new character, they would walk into the house and sit down, it was so cool. That being said, i would like to restore the chairs functionality, and have the tree house display the 5 most recently used characters, even if you can't select them via clicking or even have them in unique poses just having the unique charm of all your characters "living" in the same house like a bad fanfic comic is a very nostalgic feature to me. Con wise i imagine it would put the tree house as thematically superior over the other ones, but those other character selects were always one character at a time, while the tree house was many, id prefer it to be atleast the same charming idea as before and maintaining them all as close to their original function as possible. Who knows maybe you could update the other ones to have your other characters in the background to give more life to the screens, i just love the tree house one and want to see it back in full glory.
  4. To start with the more important aspect, i think too many items especially early on reuse very similar names and its noticable. For example the Land walkers and Earth Walkers, it feels rather boring naming scheme wise to just change one word to a synonym, and can lead to confusion if the player isn't careful. Even if you don't want to just go off and come up with unique names for every item, i think just changing both words to synonyms helps with making names less annoyingly similar. Instead of Land Walkers, call them Land Striders even if its still just changing the words with synonyms, at the very least it looks phonetically distinct from the other gear pieces making it less likely players mix them up. Another major habit i noticed is that many items are just the same name with an adjective added in front of the word, like Luxurious, which is fine conceptually since most of the time its an upgrade to the existing piece, I just feel its important to use that where its necessary and not over use the word. Then you have stuff like the grey gloves where the improved version is called the "Gloves of Iguje" which is just a "wut" thing, it doesn't feel like names are treated consistantly for items. which is fine if you don't want everything to be tediously named but you pick the weirdest items to uniquely name, like bland grey gloves. Now this is the part im most worried about coming across in the completely wrong way, and I don't want anyone reading this to think im at all attacking the basis for these items names, your beliefs are your own, im focused on the context of their existence within the World(s) of rose, and nothing else. There are items that have names that really don't make sense within the world of rose, the most obvious example being the islamic items. Inherently as far as im aware of rose lore, islam the religion does not exist within rose. Mostly due in part to the common knowledge of the existence of two deities. The term itself feels out of place due to the meaning of the word not really making sense within the world thematically, it has nothing to do with the values of the religion itself, i want to make that absolutely clear. I feel these could easily be renamed to something way more consistant with the world or atleast a more understandable generic phrase, like calling the islamic Bandana a Doorag or head rag. Changing the Islamic Dress to Desert Robes, or just changing the names to fit the areas like zant or the coastal area of adventure pass. To that end, it does extend to the santa and christmas gear since while its become more or less the generic december holiday, it was originally based in christianity and german/greek folk tale. Its why many mmos take to making their own equivalent holiday called something else like WoW's Feast of the Winter Harvest, or the ever infamous "Life Day" in the starwars universe and its games like swtor. Though in fairness christmas has more or less become a general holiday concept and has almost completely lost its meaning, which to an extent also goes for the "islamic" items in rose, i am only suggesting changing the names to make them more consistent to the world, not to remove any diversity or out of any malicious intent towards the islam/christian religion. Its for the same overall reason as making the names more unique for many items, to help keep items from feeling out of place or too same-y, to help reach a nice middle ground. I do not intend to offend any religion i may have brought up in this suggestion, your beliefs are your own and just as valid as mine. Heck if you want to go the other way and introduce other religious paraphernalia im all for it, id just rather it not be weirdly out of place either way, id totally start rocking a cross, pastafarian head colander, while wearing a gem socketed version of my grandfathers tallit (the traditional shoulder scarf if you didn't know). You could go either way, i just rather it be consistant. The suggestion isnt two seperate suggestions, just two aspects of the overall suggestion of making the names of items in game more consistent and fitting to the world overall. If your offended by my suggestion, i am sorry, i do not mean to offend, this is just a very touchy subject to approach, and i mean no harm.
