    Agreed. MY makes enough to keep up and running at low costs I fail to see why Int can't. I was planning on buying zen too. Not at those prices though. =\

    They are gonna justify it by saying they lowered the prices 20 silver on most of the stuff. Which equates to 20 cents rl money lol

    Yeah, I can't afford these prices...10 bucks for a shirt? I can buy a real shirt for that....no joke, wal mart shirts 6 bucks...is there a wal-mart version of the cash shop?

    That's too bad, was planing on buying zen right away too, actually had my credit card out and everything...looks like this is a play for free game for me.

    Actually this is incorrect. 1000 ZEN is equal to $10.

    We realize that some of you are not happy with cash shop item prices. Since Closed Beta the prices of a lot of items have been dropped, and this was primarily due to player feedback.

    We are constantly watching the community and listening to what our players have to say.

    she was actually talking about the end result, after you convert the zen into gold, not the zen itself...don't know why you start with what looks like lots and end with little. Still, 10 dollars for a shirt, can't afford that, can seriously buy a real shirt for cheaper, bits of code shouldn't be more than bits of thread...pay to play games end up being cheaper after I buy shoes to go with that shirt.

    Count my vote in for the too expensive mark too. These prices are insane compared to more F2P MMOs with a cash shop.

    Taking into the consideration the stuff I want...

    Blouse- 7 Gold
    Skirt- 1 Gold
    Gloves- N/A
    Heels- 1 Gold

    That's $9 right there, not counting the costs of dyes to make the outfit match (at least 2 Gold, more if I'm unlucky with the randoms).

    So...$11 just for a nice looking outfit?

    $25 most if you want the Wingspan outfit.

    I think not. For $10 I could go back to Mabinogi and buy a kit gives me pretty much everything you offer and more. Or for $25 I could go back to playing WoW and have everything I want without any CS to bugger with.

    Lower prices please.

    The prices are ridiculous. I had been planning on buying from cash shop, but now I don't think I will anymore.

    This server is starting to become a bit disappointing to me. First waste time on their contest that I didn't even get the prize for, and then they also make CS high priced.

    At $1/ZEN, I'll just learn to do without for a bit. I'll be looking forward to that free 10 ZEN that they don't seem to be giving me.

    well I went to see how much it was going to cost me and its going to be $35 for 2000 zen which in the end is a little bit cheaper for me and I know I went overboard before with the prices coz I didnt calculate things right but either way still expensive for others

    At those prices, I'll only buy the essential from the cash shop. So in the end PWE will make less money with me than if they priced thier cash shop currency closer to what it cost in MY-EN.

    1000 zen = $10 USD = 10 gold that is STILL a damn dollar for gold raito. Seriously, I was all hyped on my PW int...specially with the IP ban, no lag, and now this? No way, I rather go back to PW MY where $10 will buy me more than what it can here. You want players to spend money and STAY on this server, compete it with PW MY, there is no reason why you can't. You would still be making a profit. Or keep your prices, and soon, the big spenders from PW MY will go back there. Why spend 2-3x as much here, when we can get so much more for our money there? I am so dissapointed it's not even funny.

    Blah. I was all ready to spend my money on the cash shop too, I thought the prices would be similar to MY-E. I'll pass. The prices at current are pretty ridiculous.

    when yuo triple the cost for zen, you better reduce the cashshop item price by 3 times because at this rate, no one is gonna pay for this nonsense.

    PWE should realize that you guys provide a server with no lag, but old players would go back to pw-my easily because of high level charas there and low prices, we are not stuck with this expensive ****.

    for he sake of organization (and to keep accurate tally) I have created this petition for the lowering of prices in the cash shop, it is out of the most respect it is made, and not to be seen as an insult to anyone at PWE or PWI.

    With a $1:1 gold ratio, I will not be spending a cent on PW-INT, unfortunately. EP's go through heiros like water. 1-2 a day...up to $5 a day just to keep heiros going? I dread to think what the price of fancy wings or mounts will be. At this rate Wings of Seraph will be $99, and some of the lion mounts will be upwards of $110.

    Just...no. Do something about the prices, because right now it's just ridiculous.

    I see alot of complaining, I don't know why. I didn't play PW-MY. Never intend to, don't want to deal with that lag. But the prices seem fair to me...unless maybe...you make minimum wage and live alone paying all the bills, then maybe I could understand the complaining. This is generally how it is when I see a game from asia converted to a NA game. But whatever, everyone views this their own way.

    lesser the thing is, even at these rates, many of the important items are double, almost triple the price here than they are on MY-EN, basically the two major factors of this game are switched between my-en and here:

    PWI: Great community - Expensive cash shop items
    MY-EN: Bad communit - cheap cash shop items.

    So much for playing this game...I'm outta here. Uninstalling the game right now. Not even bothering to patch it. Those prices are wayyyyy to high.

    I guess, but since I didn't play PW-MY more than 1 day, I guess it bothers me less. Though I wouldn't mind heiro's being lower...considering how fast I burned them in CB. But the rest of the stuff I don't mind paying the prices. Either way I'll still enjoy the game. Just will end up being more cautious with Heiros (no more rambo runs).
