    I think it was originally F2P in Asia, they are just using this new scam to release mediocre F2P Asian MMOs as B2P in the West with promises that there will never be P2W and microtransactions will only be cosmetic, then they slowly go back on their promises and subtly start including P2W into the microtransactions, until about 1 year after they started doing it, the game is both B2P and P2W and everyone is disappointed, but some keep going, because they have already invested into the game, and that's what those publishers rely on.. in the worst case scenario, the game will go F2P and if that doesn't help boost the population numbers, it will shut down.

    I wish that wasn't the case for many such games, but sadly it is.

    Yeah, they supposedly had to go B2P in the west to 'ensure a quality product' yet they still haven't finished ungenderlocking classes.

    Tried it during the "beta" for this version, as I got a free key. I didn't get far at all, but as far as the game itself goes, I found that it wasn't bad, but not amazing, the launcher/installer on the other hand was pure crap, so I do hope they fixed that at least by now.
