    I know that but then... to my actual question.....

    How much Zen per in game gold to spend on items?

    If I spend $50 I get the 5k Zen + 300 bonus = 5300 Zen - Thats all explained in the guide. What it doesn't say, or at least I can't locate it saying

    Is 5300Zen = ???Gold when transfered to my Character

    Thanks b:thanks

    I have spent arround $1000 on this game withing the past 4 or 5 months. Some people may think this is excessive and you might be right; however, I like playing the game. I have no problem paying for something that I like doing. I do see it as somewhat of an irony. I will not pay a monthly susbcription to play a mmo, but I will drop cash into a game when I want to for items I want to buy.

    To answer the zen question above. If you buy $50 worth of zen you end up getting 53gold not 50gold and 30 silver. But your best bet is buying the cash cards, if you can find them,you get bonusus for every dollar ammount over $10 and 5 extrta gold for a $50 purchace. Free stuff is always good and when you spend money on the game like I do, the extra's tend to add up.

    Hm..I think about $150 or so...I know somewhere around there...I've enjoyed most of it. Only thing I regret is buying those Hot Color packs...stupid random pigments...but the rest...oh, yeah. ^_^v

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    If you clicked the link, it will show you that amount which is why I placed it in my response for you. The ratio is 100 ZEN = 1 gold for PWI so 5300 ZEN is 53 gold.

    b:cry about $300 so far. $100 in the last week to stock up on Charm Packs.

    For entertainment since the beta has opened I'm not feeling too bad. Compared to 3-6nights out at the bar or at a restaurant I feel its been a real money saver overall. I DO wish that some of the prices were reduced, some things are just overpriced.

    None.

    I don't really have problem making money in-game, either. Though I guess I don't play dress-up as many other players.

    I am pretty new, only played for like 3-4 weeks. So i only spend something like 3 g ingame on crafting mats and bronze charm for safe leveling. but i do have a few extra on my wish list in the nearest future.

    Mount = 10 g
    Wings = 20 g
    Clothies = 10 g
    Random stuff = 10-15 g

    Think i would spend it in like 2 month which means 60 g = 60 euro and if u compare it too buying a normal game with maybe 50 hours on entertaining for like 50 euro. i think its fine.

    I've spent probably $50 or so on the game.
    Most of it on charms, teles, and other misc items, and $17 on my panther and skymanta.

    So far $270 and I'm ashamed of it b:cry
    I was planning to spend no more than $50... I blame the overpriced items!
    Legally, it's questionable.
    Morally, disgusting.
    Personally, I like it.

    lol wow!!!

    I remember making this thread during my first month of playing, it's like going back in time :)

    Just as an update for historical purposes and those following the thread, I've spent a total of $120. The last time I charged zen was back in December '08, which was quickly spent on charms and such.

    However, I had incredible loot hax and picked up an HH90 gold mat (touch of seven luminaries) that drastically changed the game for me. I was able to sell it for 10mil coins, bought myself max speed mounts, inventory/storage space, some gear, and then parlay the rest of the money into working the archosaur market.

    I made a decent amount of coin; about 8mil in just about 1.5 months, which I planned on using to buy my hh90 gear.

    I got an even bigger break came during this last Jolly Old Jones Spring Event where I went all-in and made about 35+mil, and still sitting on a *potential* of ~28mil (based on current sales numbers, which could possibly go up as time goes on).

    But yeah.. it would be so nice if I could make RL money like I did here.

    I feel you. I have always been against game subscriptions, but i am willing to pay for extras from the cash shop if they so interest me. I think I have averaged about what it would cost to pay for a subscription though, or at least Ive been trying to. Since Oct Ive spent 250. Some of that was spent on gifts for RL friends that also play the game (my best friend turned 30 this week ;-) i got them a Hellhound for their Barb) So i guess thats about 30 or so a month between myself and my wife for our 2 accounts.

    My biggest thing with subscriptions is if I have to stop playing for say 2 weeks I cant just pause my subscription (that goes by monthly basis) Pay to play gives you so much more control and so many more options. I will say though that some things dont seem to be priced well. Like the Socket stones, sure they seem cheap but you need like 80+ 2 use them on anything worth it.

    Exactly 100$. Only about 60 euro.


    And wow, my message got cut off because I used a euro sign. gg. Either way, I'm not spending any more money on this game until they fix some ****. I'll stick to making money in-game, because the game isn't worth my money the way it is now.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    Over the last 4 months, $20. They were poorly spent though. Now, I'm waiting until new clothes come out before charging zen again.

    Sometimes I dont have much in game money and I'm considering to use real money. But haven't done it. When you get higher, you'll have more in game money, I think, and you don't need to use real money.
