For all you Forum readers and posters lets all see who has spent the most real life cash into this game.

I will start of with how much I have spent.

0$

Please post, this could be interesting to read about how much money really people like to invest/donate to PWI.

    Not a cent! :)

    I have nothing against spending a few spare dollars on a game this good, it's just the fact that you can get so much in this game without spending any actual money. You let the others do it for you - the Zen buyer gets game money for actual money, you get cool stuff for your game money, and PWI gets actual money either way. Everybody wins.

    I actually think it's a pretty cool system. :P

    $300, not that I think its necessary to spend money on the game, but it does help it run. And it was worth the enjoyment I got out of it. b:pleased

    70 dollars, 20 at early lvls and 50 more when the charm packs came out. But it does make me wonder why i spent so much when i literally have no need for it. Have over 100 gold right now with nothing to buy.

    if you haven't spent anything then you really have no right to ask others how much they have spent. all this type of question leads to is those who have spent nothing rubbing it in the face of those who have spent something.

    I totally agree with the last two posters and I'll add to that. I don't really believe that it is your business or anyone else to ask me how much I've spent. I have spent some money on this game but i don't intend on telling you.

    I too have spent money on the game, and will not be stating the amount.

    Though I THINK Deity has spent way more than the average player.

    I don't think it's offensive or negative for the op to start this thread. it's up to other players to volunteer such information.

    The OP was just wondering, geez. It wasn't a personal criticism. o.O

    All he/she said was "this would be interesting to see" so if you're taking offense at that, that says more about your reactions to your spending than the OP's.

    For the 3 people thus far and anyone else who has a problem with this thread you need to keep yourself busy with something else.

    To the 3, You really jump to conclusions very fast and seem to see the worst in this thread before anyone has even said something negative. Before you whiners replied the thread was going fine.

    Please take your paranoid whining elsewhere and leave others genuine innocent curiosity to them.

    Thanks to all who replied and apologies in this thread about the outspoken whiners.

    One of the so called "whiners" had to reply to this. Personally i don't think u put much thought into posting this. Mostly because one of the biggest questions that newbies have is "Do i have to spend money on this game?" and by having a post about how much real money is being spent, we could be unintentionally sending the message that you must use real money to seriously have any real fun.

    So if that makes me a "paranoid whiner" so be it. I'll say it again, its not any of your business how much money a person spends on this game and if they want to tell you then they have this right, I just won't be one of them.

    actually i said what i said because as of post #5 the thread was already turning into a "make fun of the people who pay to play a free game" thing.

    what i said had no hostility. your responses do. that's unnecessary and uncalled for.

    also, the original post had the same connotations... "how much did you spend? i spent 0 b:chuckle"

    chuckle?

    Ive spent $0 so far but I'm planning to later on. I have no problem spending money on something I enjoy, I don't know why all these people are taking this thread as some sort of mockery of them or why there taking such offense to simply curiosity of the OP but really there's nothing wrong with spending money on a game especially when its free because your also supporting the PW team.

    Even though the OP chuckle icon could have given the wrong message its nothings to attack them for.

    I've spent $30... mount/reset/safe expansion... planning to spend maybe a little more for a new sword or something later on. Figure I ought to donate at least a little, I mean to play other RPG's like WoW... its $ for the game and then more $ per month. lol I would much rather support free games that let you choose to donate than be financially **** by Blizzard.

    Jesus... don't be so sensitive. Its just a question. And i think its interesting to see how many people have used how much money.

    I personally haven't used any. I might some day maybe.

    I have spent nothing, though I would if I had any money. Maybe. I have everything I need out of the cash shop already just from coins. I don't see any reason to spend money on the game. lol

    <3 sai lol

    and what i think is interesting is that all the people who spent nothing are so curious to see how much others spent. why?

    and excuse me for being a bit squeamish when i see something that will lead to the inevitable e-peen waving, item comparing argument of "you're a loser; you spent so much money" versus "you're a loser; you spent so much time/effort," and it's usually the ones that don't spend who discuss it in a bragging and condescending manner.

    I spent $152 so far...but i'm only lvl 40.More to come since i'm financing my REAL-LIFE wife's cleric too^^

    I don't feel anything wrong with spending money on my hobby.If i can afford it and i'm willing to spend it............Noone has the right to tell me otherwise.
    PITY,REGRET, AND MERCY are just EXCUSES for the strong not to kill the weak!

    Jus' to explain to the people who are askin' why folk are takin' offence to this, it's more complicated than it might seem..or at least there's more to it than jumpin' to conclusions or bein' melodramatic.

    Whether the OPs intentions were innocent or not (I'm not sayin' they were or weren't) but typically when a post like this comes up in any/all games, it's generally a ''I have a +10 set w/ the rarest gems, legendary swords 2b coins and am a lvl cap and never spent a penny. How much have you wasted to be at half my progress?'' or some such mockery or brag.

    So, innocent or not, it's easy to see how people can take offence. Even easier to see how it's the people who have spent money, typically the victims of such abuse, more so and the people who have spent nothin' are ok w/ it.
