View Full Version : Does ROPD update at all??
It seems like they don't update their database anymore. Does anyone know what happened? OR maybe they are just slow at updating the char information.

My new alchie was added a few weeks ago. Took abit to get her on and her level was behind, but she's there.
what pisses me off is that sites like this go offline just because someone quits, and no one has the source or any information about continuing it. kind of like Tom's RO shopper, when that site went down i was so pissed. while his shit was around, things from my shop would ACTUALLY SELL. it was incredible, its as if everyone could find the items in my shop without having to spend 20 minutes searching.

Tom's RO Shopper, uhh, that wasnt quiiite such a good thing... I know with 100% certainty that it was being abused for market manipulation.

no such thing as market manipulation solely because you know the price of your competitor's. If you opened a hamburger stand tomorrow, wouldn't you base your prices off the prices/quality of your competitors (Fast food? McDonalds. Sit-down? Red-Robin. etc.) and nobody would call you a scammer for knowing who your competition was and how much they're selling for, and where they position their shops.
Automated buy low, sell high is nothing you couldn't do legitimately, either.
Dr. Azzy

It was used to assist in jacking the price on several items. Sure, the change in price didnt last very long usually, but they were netting big money on it. It's really easy to maintain a monopoly (if conditions are conducive to it, and in RO there's usually several such items at any time, where the price is out of line with the supply/demand balance) in RO with a shopfinder like that. I'm not sad to see it go. Snipah informs players about prices that things were vended at, but you cant really go find the cheap shop based on snipah (i know some people who do, but it's much more difficult.). If it was just used by people who wanted to buy stuff for themselves it would be fine, but people making money off the market can get too much out of it.

If someone can "manipulate" the market that easily (read: publicly and blatantly) and you can't see it to get something out of it yourself and/or stop it, too bad, so sad.
Also your use of the word "monopoly" is way off.
I mean, while in a sense horizontal integration can be achieved in RO, you can't really pull off vertical integration and use it to completely wipe competitors off the map and control prices. They can always just go hunt the same items on the same map you can. Get off your lazy butt and go hunt some Elu or Evil Druid Cards ^_~
Edit: Some college Econ Major check my logic on this one, please. I might have the horizontal/vertical mixed up in my mind.

What was being done was to snap up the other ones vended, so all the ones ON THE MARKET were controlled by the one person or group.
While you may think that people can go hunt ED card or something, thats not the case for everyone. A fair number of people are sufficiently unlucky or inefficient (wrong classes) that they cannot hunt their own rares.
If you have bad luck, you'll be for a month with no card. I cannot hunt rares simply because they do not drop for me. The best item i've gotten is unslotted fire armor that wont sell from a kasa, and 6-7 mino cards from killing fewer minos (i killed i think 120k minos) than the guys who got 15-30 of them (they killed under 100k minos each).
That's in the process of getting a max lvl char, a 9x non trans and a 9x trans, plus countless 7x chars over more than 4 years of playing. 25k geos killed. No card. I find the claim that "anyone can go hunt the rare they need" personally offencive, and it makes me gag everytime i see someone say it. Because I cant. Am i not a person? not included in "anyone"?
I guess not.

They take all the real work out of it. All you need is a tabbed browser (and an egg timer if you're distractable) and a merchant, and you can spend most of the time sitting there lvling, doing hw, or whatever.
I love ROPD. I wish it updated more. Nice for background checks, but even nicer to track down the alts of someone who left you an infuriating message while your afk, like "Hey, you there?" "hello?" or "Want to trade you X for my Y? pm me", without leaving what chars they'd likely be on, so you cant get back to them. I've made a number of mutually beneficial deals because of ROPDing people who did that.

I've done that before. With a group of people. Without any form of website... whatever. Just need to watch the shops well. If anything, it might make it easier for lazy people to pull it off, but for the most part it's not caused by the existence of the site. It's caused by people with sufficient motivation and means to make some money off playing with the market.

I'm terribly sorry it offends you, as it was not my intention, but that's a rather silly thing to take personally; a comment about the loots in an online game to the extreme concept of me attempting to disrespect your humanity.
Honestly there is a logic disconnect there, good sir, and I will rephrase my statement to help clarify things for you:
"The formula that generates a random number and produces drops for a killed monster is the same formula for all people of all classes, and as such, it theoretically follows that any person with available time to hunt sufficient numbers of any given monster should obtain, within a reasonable time, the desired loot."

@ azzy: the only reason you can't get the cards you want is not because of market manipulation, its because of very very flawed game design.
the shopper website made it actually possible for people to sell things they were vending, and find things that they want to buy. the shopping system in RO really really sucks but the shopper site made it perfect.
there were so many more advantages to that site than there were disadvantages. market manipulation makes me lol, not only because in the real market (as others have said) you already know everyone else's prices. besides, i would only consider that a factor if the current vending system was for a fact made the way it was only to PREVENT market manipulation. between me you and everyone on this forum, we know that the vending system sucks because they made it 5 years ago and have not updated it once. (except for an auction house system which sucks even more)
you know how hard it is for me to find solid peaches and aloe leaflets on the market? i could, every 2 hours, spend 10 minutes searching through prontera and i'd still probably miss most of the ones that are vended. without a shopper program/website its almost impossible to find these items without spending my entire life walking my merchant around prontera.

You could in fact, simply sit there with a chat saying you'll buy them and wait to see if people reply to you. Its probably the best way to get lower value common drops... Its like vending except the opposite. If people see that you'll buy an item for what they would sell it for, they'd jump at the opportunity to deal you. :p

You were doing so good until the piece with bold letters. At least for card drops, you could hunt a particular card for years without ever getting one. Every time you kill a monster and dont get a card, you're back to that same 0.01% drop chance. As for Elus amd other more common drops, by all means, go hunt them if you dont want to pay current market price or cant find an item in town.
As far as I'm concerned, Roshopper was providing a service that was already available (and still is) to some guilds.
So if market manipulation there was, it's still there for some people.

That's an interesting way of thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I agree, even though I never actually used one of those shopper sites because I... don't often have much that I'm specifically looking for in a vend. Most of my shopping is buying conds/blues for my guild for siege and that's pretty easy as of late!

You could drag in items and set the price you want to pay for them, and then everyone with that item could sell it to you while you're afk. The main flaw was that you had to have at least one of the item to be able to put it in auto-buy though ):

One thing i would really like is a skill "Procurement". Quest skill. Acts like vending, only in the reverse. You specify item, and quantity, and people can sell to you. Make it act like lvl 1 vend, 3 item limit. Maybe require job 50 BS/Alchy for it...
That way, it would all be in the open.
And yes, i know some guilds have it. It's not cool. Unless i was in one of those guilds, then i'd be making alot more money than i am right now reselling botted ppecs and ranked blues.

A ROPD discussion has turned into a Market Shopper discussion.
By the way, it's more like oligopoly you are talking about. A monopoly on an item would be one resource, which that's definitely not the case when you can hunt them or buy it from other people other than the targeted person.

In perfect competition, this is true. However, things in RO are not always perfectly competitive, although some are more competitive than others.
I mean, while in a sense horizontal integration can be achieved in RO, you can't really pull off vertical integration and use it to completely wipe competitors off the map and control prices. They can always just go hunt the same items on the same map you can. Get off your lazy butt and go hunt some Elu or Evil Druid Cards ^_~
Edit: Some college Econ Major check my logic on this one, please. I might have the horizontal/vertical mixed up in my mind.
Books tend to be ambiguous as to which is which. Personally, I prefer to think of Standard Oil from the early 1900s as a horizontally integrated firm (controlling the market all at one level of production) whereas US Steel was a vertically integrated firm (having a piece of every market at every level of production and thus able to sell its own products to itself at lower prices).
The former makes its money by stifling competition, the latter makes its money through a specific price discrimination scenario.

euRO offers a special interface for fansites like rocheck.de or rocards.de (rocards market watch can be found here: http://rocards.de/MarketWatch.rc) which contains information about every shop ingame and the area (note: not the exact position) of the vender.

You are right. The data is collected by using a bot (easy to recognize in the town), which is maintained by the company itself (Burda INC). The company which distributes RO in Europe. Gravity could have already made it by themselves, but I guess they aren't that service orientated. In my humble opinion, the responsibility lies on Gravity. It's better to collect the data "server sided" than let an outsider run a program 24/7. You need to at least check, if it's the same merchant selling the same item on another place. You can't see it from the outside, but rocheck.de has a very intelligent system. It's protected against price manipulations (probably by check up the name from the vender and etc.) Gravity should really "copy" or at least purchase a system like this. The population on the marketplace forums went down with 80%, because there is no need to open topics anymore. People will find you wherever you vend in prontera. People will know. The advantages are great and it will save money for the marketplace bandwidth and it gets updated 24/7. I also assume it's safer, because Gravity can regulate everything by themselves.
euRO also has a ranking system, Vcards, character viewer and other stuff. All maintained by the same company. It's all much easier to regulate.
But still, euRO has the shittiest lay-out on their website of all RO distributions. :dum: The lay-out from rocheck is 1000x better than that from euRO and it's made by the same company...
Gravity should support these fan sites, Or at least look into them and be inspired to make something similar which will actually be legal. I just hate the fact that websites made by players(fan sites) are more useful to us compared to the official site.

You havnt learned the trick to not getting people harassing you yet? It works in real life as well as online - once it's clear that they're not going to stop, you just act like they don't exist.
They will get bored and stop. Sometimes it takes a while, but people only do things which they know are annoying as long as they get a reaction. Learned this sometime around 4th or 5th grade.
Ignorance may or may not be bliss, but ignoring people can bring you closer to it.

They said just the opposite when I asked about having some of my characters removed from the database. The explanation I received was that even if a character was removed, it would only be a matter of time before it ended up on the database again later. This was not a request that they wanted to be burdened with respecting on a regular basis, since so many people complained.

It's a different case. Name-changed characters appear twice: once with the old name and once with the new. Having a character removed because it got a name change shouldn't cause any trouble since it wouldn't get added automatically, only the new name would appear. Removing a character simply for the sake of removing it wouldn't do any good because as you said, it would only get added again after a little while.
It doesn't matter if ropd doesn't update anymore. Took me 30 seconds to check Little Debbie's ID to find out he is actually Bape from iris.

But it would still show up under the same ID wouldn't it? If the maintainer of the database removed a character that had a name change, wouldn't the new character eventually show up under the same ID right alongside any other alternate characters? The only way this would really work is if the person had no alternate characters or anything else on the database. Even then it would still appear under the old ID, which I am sure any stalker/harasser would have had the good sense to bookmark or remember.

Whatever bug there was before, it's gone now - only shows a double of AraIyn on Chaos server and nothing comes up in the second link :(

I transferred my Sin and gave it a slick ass German name; sadly ROPD hasn't gotten around to adding it =(.

RODP, is mostly dependant on how much time you spend in Prontera, because I know if you’re in Izlude or other towns that aren’t as crowded, you sometimes don’t get updated (hence my Sin isn’t even under my account listing and my alchy is still 95 when it's really 99 :<)
I don't like it personally to people to know all my characters =|
Actually they stopped updating again rofl. It was only that one date that they updated, after that i think they just stopped updating again. I sat all day in pront and my chars wasn't updated.

They have't stopped, it's still updating. It's just every few days instead of every 10 seconds.

If you're around leveling or not the main towns alot (I'm not sure if they'll still catch you out of Pront), ROPD probably won't pick you up.

Most of my chars have been caught by now. /hmm
It did a major update with the latency test the GMs did. Could tell since there're a bunch of Sakray people's Chaos alts that they'd never log onto otherwise.

ROPD managed to finally get some of my alts, even though I only logged on one of them for <3 mins to move stuff into storage before I deleted him. =p

It's still got my brothers characters, and my priest is only 96. ): Not to mention it doesn't even have my tkm!

They removed my main character from the database after it updated. o_o; All of my alternates are still there though. Strange.

my friend's high level character got removed too.

There was a bug that made all chaos chars also present on sakray due to some bug. I believe they've deleted every char affected by it.
Not quite, one of our monks appears twice.

It updates my high priest almost regularly but I apparently still have a 94 sader. :( Oh well.

They're more than willing to correct mistakes on it. Won't chew your head off and complaining about it elsewhere won't do much of anything.

Doesn't the FAQ say that they won't fix the database for name changes? Is what would otherwise be exactly the same character with two different names not a "mistake"?
Apparently, it updated a couple of days ago, because I see new and updated levels on there.
Pa.rabola

They said they will not remove name changes; however, mistakes while collecting data will be corrected. It lets you see who became who, tracks down ebaying quite easily. It's not really a mistake.
