Treat it as a completely new and fresh entity. I'm actually excited.
So basically it has happened again, server division, people who spent a lot even going back into the game makes no sense because who is to say Gamigo / Trion won't do it again with yet another server on messing up the game yet again. ----------Even people who own Solar, Lunar, Stellar Farms, Gems, as well as every cosmetic in the game don't get to transfer any of this over, yet some spent hundreds of dollars in Loot Box to get these.
Get 1000's in at $20 or 100's in at $40. It's up to them.
so the difference is 20 or 30? seems extreme
They are expecting you to 'pay' for the privilege of not getting raped by a P2W cash shop, after all.
Not gonna be fooled this time. Cash grab nothing more.
Even if the b2p price is on the higher side for PC standards when compared to mobile games even $60 is not really much at all. The btp price is just a few months of a sub in other games.
They should really remove all the Trion branding before launch, but I assume it’s still there for the time being due to licencing.
Game for that was just NOT worth playing.
Now with the B2P model you can have everything after buying the game and just purchase expansions that you want, when released for them to have money comming in.
In Game Shops and Loot Crates were a BIG NO NO, to me when they started, when you buy a game and it has a subscription (monthly) you should NOT have to buy items from in game shop for real money, currencies to buy should be earned in game via tasks/quests or dropped in the game from boss's. With this news i more than likely would go for the game. I still have a bad taste in my mouth after being scammed from buying 6 x 60day Rift Gametime cards, using 2 and playing those 4 mths then PC issue in the last week lasting a couple of months (New PC) and then taking 8 more months before returning then finding out that the gametime cards were now obsolete really pivved me off, Rift was uninstalled. Defiance was the only thing left, though the B2P model was being discontinued when the 2050 (or whatever) came out and that version really sucked @ss bigtime = That was uninstalled and so was the launcher, Trion Worlds basically screwed everyone over and killed themselves with stupid decisions.

I like to quit on MY TERMS and not because a developer a year or two later implemented ideas that turned me right off,like p2w cash shops.
I would rather have NO CASH shop at all,that way there is a better chance the developer is more fair...honest,not trying to gouge players for MORE,so maybe it remains that way forever.
Sadly only ONE game did that,FFXI remained non cash shop forever,at least for the 15 years i played.
If all these other developers can say they went 15 years without bullshit cash shops they can stand up to the podium and be congratulated but NONE of them can do that,not blizzard,not NCSOFT,Not Trion/Gamigo,not SOE/DB NONE of them.
I do NOT look at gaming from a business standpoint,why would i,i look at gaming from MY standpoint as a consumer.I do NOT want to be gouged,ripped off,baited,hooked into anything that revolves around $$$,i simply want to pay for a game and play it.
