I never said I don't play it anymore. All I said was I don't spend here anymore. "It is a free game, though. I don't have to pay to play." What part of that was so hard to understand? And yes, I do "picket" retailers that don't meet my expectations. Currently, NCSoft will never receive another dime from my wallet even if…
I was actually trying to point out that I'd be tickled pink if either/both companies went belly up. IMHO, Cryptic has had three games to try and iron out how to build them, and still hasn't learned basics, therefore they don't deserve to stay afloat. Four, if you count City of Heroes.(But they sold that one off and it…
I one star everything since the foundry xp "adjustments" in protest to them. Nothing against authors or their shining jewels of literature, I just hate the fact that if I have a combat-efficient build and can burn through enemies at a "faster than intended rate" in Foundry mishes, I get reduced xp, but if I can burn…
I do not know you from Adam, but I place your life well ahead of PWE/Cryptic's continued existence. Matter of fact, both companies could go belly up tomorrow, or even two hours from the time of this posting and I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but even someone I never knew passing away is a tragedy. Bad analogy, friend. I'm…
1) I've already taken my business elsewhere. It is still a free to play game, though. I don't have to pay to play. 2) I realize that "vote with my wallet" is the MOST effective strategy I can employ. 3) I come here to post what displeases me, because in the off hand that Craptic DOES actually pay attention to its customer…
I would beg to differ. Let us say that customer A is unhappy with the product being offered here, and makes a post on the forums stating just that fact, and offers his/her opinion on how it could be done better. Customer B does the very same thing, but since he/she does not have any idea on how to do it better, their…
This is very true. But DDO was up front and transparent about it. Cryptic isn't, and it seems to me as if they're doing everything they can to change the fact that statements were made in these very forums that they won't ever sell anything other than cosmetic items.
There is nothing beyond food, clothing, shelter and the job to support these things that one needs in order to live. There are many things people want to increase enjoyment of life, this is why corporations are making money. Nothing is Needed, however. It is all optional. Self control is the only requirement. See what I…
I stipulate that the main problem with the pack is that for sixty bucks, you can go out and purchase a WHOLE GAME.(This is a fact.) Let that sink in. A whole new game. This pack? Fluff items. OH. And free content that will likely(this part is pure speculation in case anyone has difficulty determining such things) only run…
Please. They can't be bothered to pay people to moderate ingame, much less TEST product before going live with it. Also, isn't that what the test server is for? For a mass amount of us to test the stuff before it goes live? Except...content rarely stays on test long enough for thorough testing, and most bug reports are…
As one who has done a lot of digging to find any quote of that nature...I can say that Craptic interviews are worded very cryptically on purpose. This should send up red flags when a company cannot (or will not) just be forthright in their press statements. While not actually being able to find anything SPECIFIC about…
Yes, you could. I remember being rather fired up that I unlocked both Drow AND a 32 point build. It wasn't by character level, but with something like reputation points. Do so many quests at a certain difficulty level and you would "earn" points in various factions.
Paying very close attention. Mainly to the fact that many times in the past it was stated in interviews that the game's content will never be charged for. Except, by your post( and that of the announcement itself) we are now being asked to buy packs that contain a new race. I realize this is not necessary to experience the…

I consider core content to be what the game launches with. This includes classes and races, and it merely proves my point from much earlier postings about this very subject. Core content is what is defined by Craptic, and not the customers. So, in -essence-, they have not lied to us, nor misrepresented themselves at all.…
So, contrary to everything that was said in interviews and by volunteer mods.....there was indeed content gated through cash purchases only, and right from day one. Point proven, in my viewpoint. I admit to overlooking halflings...but hey. They're short. >_> Also...the game did not launch with eight classes. Nor races.
I'm guessing you are right with that last sentence. Also, this article: http://www.mmoreviews.com/exclusive-interview-with-the-developers-about-the-upcoming-action-mmorpg-neverwinter/ Also, from that interview, these quotes: As I recall, the game launched with human, elf, half-elf, orc, dwarf and teifling. That's six, not…
You go right ahead and blithely and blindly follow along, like a good little lapdog. I, for one, will ALWAYS exercise my free will and think for myself.

I can't be the only person that remembers pages and pages of forum "debate" where it was repeatedly(and quite firmly) stated that "all content will be free" and "you will NEVER have to pay for classes or races" by community reps and admins? Hmmm? Guess I was right, after all.
There are numerous retail businesses that advertise, "If you find it cheaper elsewhere, bring us proof and we'll refund the difference." This is not a full refund of money spent, but it IS saying, we pride ourselves on low prices. If a competitor beats us, then...we'll make sure you get what the difference in cost is back.…
Ah, to be young and ignorant again. Kyo, there was a time when companies put out the very best product the could not to please customers, but because of a little thing called pride in your accomplishments and profit was a by-product of this policy. Little by little, this has changed. Companies cut corners anywhere they can…
