But this has all the hallmarks of an official release. Pre-order bonuses applied, money exchanging hands, no character wipes, communities bedding down in their respective servers for the long-run. How can this be anything but official release? As I stated, beta by name not by actual existence.
B2P is now HAMSTER because it gets filled with cash shop stuff anyway so you pay again. Or the B2P becomes F2P and you get stuck thinking "What did I spend thirty quid on all those years ago?" I bought STO, then it went F2P and I had nothing at all to show for the fact I bought the game and subbed to it beyond a petty XP…
+1. This open beta only by name, what you are playing is the final release of the game. The only beta aspect to it is working out the correct server load because it happens in every MMORPG release (and some non-MMOs like a certain "Emulated Centre of Population" if you want a really bad release). In fact, interesting to…
I'm talking to Sasheria about buying large quantities of virtual currency to take advantage of the exchange rates later. Your idea is a good one, the buying of ZEN idea is not considering the game is utterly unproven and new.
Go to casino, spend real money, win loads of real money*, use winnings to buy large quantities of ZEN??? *Or beg CAB for advice the next working day as your house gets repossessed. :lol:
Wait, I think I get what you mean now. I take it no real money purchase of Zen is involved and instead pool all your grinded AD into Zen to buy all unlocks at once?
Frankly, if I get overflowed with lockboxes I will just put them on the AH for a tiny number of crystals and contribute to the entire lockbox economy tanking.
Same here, Cryptic were the first MMO company I became a customer of back in Paragon City so they still have that goodwill from me. But the pricing of games across the board with supposed "micro"-transactions have gotten out of hand. What started off as a good idea of paying a pound or two for minor stuff like skins or…
Sorry but I don't think any game is worth a $200 hit, expecially unproven and pre-release in a game where you are still going to be paying after the initial purchase. Ask if you really need the stuff in the pack. The $60 pack is more reasonable given the cost of new games these days, but again take into account you will…
I can't make new threads but I have a forum bug to report. If you insert the pound symbol in a post (the currency, not the waffle-shaped thing on telephone keypads) anything after the symbol in the post is cut off. Watch, there is a sentence below this one but I am putting the symbol after this full stop.
I'd be playing Defiance if it wasn't for the HAMSTER poor interface. Surgeon Simulator is a nice distraction though (that has a good excuse for a rubbish interface :D).
