Hi guys. Question about Runeword: Feather. Don't you think that 105 units on 6 lvl offensive too few? If i want to play for rune+spirit/storm/earth for exemple and using melee weapons (clubs, swords) i have to hit the enemy on legend difficulty. Ok i will invest in dexterity before 400. Well i have 505 offensive ability. Perhaps with things typed yet 100. This is still not enough lol. In Ragnarok to hit well you need 800. Up on 6 lvl to 305 and such builds will be more effective. It’s very difficult to pack things with high resistances and high offensive ability. With respect to you.

I have an issue where the cursor completely disappears after the intros. Hopefully this wasn't reported before, sorry if it was.

My game wont let me create female characters having a name with 4 letters, while I can create men with 4 letters as their names... 5 letters work but not 4 and only for females.

Well, that's one of the weirdest issue I've read here! Even something as simple a name as "abcd" won't work?

[Vikord]

Thank you for "Pet attack"! But please, PLEASE untie it from the speed of casting a spell! PLEASE!
Sad that having a "pet attack", I have to use the F button...

Thanks xD I tried out right after reading this. abcd and stuff really works, but that special name I wanted "Zola" does not work. I'm confused, I think I remember it did when I played the game a few years ago. Do you have any idea why?

Any special characters or accents? Try lowercase "zola"?

Hi, no there are just the letters Z O L and A. Lowercasing doesn't help either, I tried it out. Not even creating a male with that name... im confused, that just doesn't make sense.
