    Lol at those cash shop pricing are they going mad over there?
    Seems like B2p means milk them for as much as you can for them.
    I will stay as far as i possibly can from this company.

    You do not play on Russian servers of the game. Without cash in this "free" game impossible to play, and most importantly the spyware is installed with the client. They promised a premium paid server, it bought a very few people, but it was never opened.

    It seems like they're going "Trion meets Archeage" all over again.

    Funny how they said they wanted to change the game to suit the "western audiance" Changes it to b2p and then doesn't remove the cash shop... that's... interesting.

    Depressingly I think this is what's going to happen. Not immediately of course, my guess is around the 6 month mark.
    There's bound to be a furor when it happens, with calls for refunds etc. So they'll have to leave it a while. After six months the player numbers will have significantly trailed off, and those still playing will probably be glad of the boost to the population.
    Personally I'll carry on through the closed beta, then sit back and see how it pans out. I don't see enough that's different over the other recent offerings to part with a buy cost at present.
    Even with a completely ftp model it may still struggle to woo away BnS players.

    They wanted to release the cash shop on the 10th of March. Everyone believes that now, because of that - they were doing some extra pricing changes. I'm about 99% sure that the prices will go down before launch.
    Especially with how quickly we were able to get them to change the cash shop opening date ( funny right? lol )
    Everything is pretty much reasonable within the cash shop - the worst is the costumes, BUT, they aren't required to play the game.

    PS - All mammals have nipples.

    Get over it already.

    30 mins in beta and I might not log again, ever. Bad first impression and the huge amount of players don't help. I refuse to waste 1hour just to get a lucky 5 kills and loot few items, because the area is designed for 20 players, not 500...

    I had this about 75% of the way downloaded, was going in blind, then I just couldn't do it, stopped the download and removed the files, this hobby is nothing anymore.

    just an FYI that many people don't seem to know - The mobs for quests spawn in a HUGE area around the area that it directs you to. Everyone is basically sitting on the generic spawn point, look around a little ..

    Isn't this game supposed to be some kind of sandbox savior for the wailing masses of players who are tired of "generic themeparks?"

    It was, but then Daum happend, and it was turned around 180 degrees, removed open world pvp, instanced everything, removal of world bosses etc. It's not a "soloable" experience that follows every other generic themepark there is, though with nice graphics and fun gameplay mechanics. Sadly they're putting everything on the "combat mechanic" and while combat is fun, grinding from start to max level gets kinda boring really fast.

    Daum's actually a great publisher. They have been listening and changing things according to what the people want. Especially when they flame the forums about it.

    Open world pvp is still there - nothings instanced? .. World bosses are still there - were you not in CBT1?....

    Heh, they did opened it on February 10th 2016.
    It was a long Delay, but it was worth the wait.

    Russian B2P server, gives you 2 cats and 1 full costume for free just for leveling your character to lvl 50. Plus they stated that Cash Shop items will never be sold on Auction House - this means it is the only server with out P2W and that Credit card would not give players an advantage here.

    P.S Costumes in RU Cash Shop cost 22 Euro, and Pets 5 euro.

    One P2P server isn't going to cover 3 Free servers. One server that is 10% full won't last. Maybe if they went with my idea of 90% AI-player-characters.

    Pardon any spelling errors
    Konfess your cyns and some maybe forgiven
    Boy: Why can't I talk to Him?
    Mom: We don't talk to Priests.
    As if it could exist, without being payed for.
    F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
    Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
    It costs money to play.  Therefore P2W.

    Yeah played only for a few hours early this AM but so glad I did not get on this Hype train....think I will wait a few months before buying it IF I do at all.

    Why stop? You can try the game for free to make up your own mind about the game. A lot of player won't care about the Cash shop and beeing the best of the best - the best. The game is fun and will keep many players playing for month.

    So they went with megaservers after all, I guess the plan for different server types didn't pan out.

    Oh they bumped up PvP enabled level to 45? I thought they changed it to 30 recently, now it's back to match Korea.



    No it looks like they went with a standard server setup. They have two servers per region for a total of 4 servers. They have 4 channels each which is pretty standard for Korean games (TERA, Blade and Soul, and Aion all have a multiple server structure with multiple channels per server). So not as good as the 2-3 channels people wanted, but 4 is pretty darn good. I'd say it's a win for the multiple server crowd, with 6 read to be turned on in cases of high demand. Not too bad.

    why people do mindless reply like you ?? of course most people dont care about being the best of the best, let me ask some question

    do you enjoy got a slow horse when everyone run near you at 5x your speed ?

    do you enjoy got your bag space alway full and you need to to the bank at every 5 min ?

    do you enjoy being unable to change your skill if you make a mistake ?

    do you enjoy gettng killed by monster because you did not buy in the cash shop ?

    do you enjoy wait for put your skill pts because you did not buy premium

    do you enjoy a bad experience for the sake of enjoy a bad experience ?

    many people just want to have fun and these f2p crap game cut all the fun behind pay wall, when a f2p game cost hundred more to enjoy that a subs the same way ( not more !! ) then f2p are crap and we got a problem.

    that never about being the best of the best that alway about fun

    some people dont want pay thousand for enjoy a games, crazy right ?

    That's why they have 4 channels, to spread out the population so you have less competition for mobs. You're supposed to switch channels. Also go farther away, there are mobs in other parts of the area that count for your quests.

    It seems that the closer it gets to launch, the more the "adapting the game for the western audience" becomes empty words and marketing manipulation. The promises are falling like dominoes.

    At this rate, all that will be left of "listening to the demands of the players" will be the B2P upfront cost, lol

    And even that will probably be gone in 4 months' time...
