    What the hell is wrong with theses people. I didnt even get my FREE ZEN as promised for hitting lvl 40. And now the prices are stupid. I guess I am going back to PW-MY unless they fix this quick.

    What you have to understand is that many non-Americans who make those ridiculous comments are merely jealous of our freedoms and, even during slower economic times, our prosperity.

    Whatever country he's from, guaranteed that in a time of crisis they will be looking to us to bail them out with economic or military aid. I used to get upset when people would disparage our country and people, but 4 years of listening to left-wing **** in college got me over it.

    It's amazing how bad we suck, yet we're the only country in the world with an immigration problem.

    What the hell is you're problem with Americans? Just because the server has high price, you make some STUPID comments on us?? Even if it's sarcasm I find it offending. Don't make remarks on any countries/religion if you don't know **** about them :mad:

    You make me lol

    I never said ALL Americans anyway. I got a lot of family in US. I said stupid and rich and unfortunately there's a ton of those there

    This high price has anything related to America? NO, it is not. The high price just show the lack of business sense and marketing skill.
    PW is an expensive game to play, and PWI make it even far beyond expensive. It is not affordable now ^^.
    I used to spend over $600 in PW MY for 4 months.
    And for PWI? TBA until somthing change ^^.
    Why...so...serious?

    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.

    :D thank you for listening to our feedback. But I want to ask for you to take our current Economy in the US into effect. Gas prices are at $4.00 a gallon now in most states. Because of that all the prices of everything els have gone up. But we are not making enough money working to keep up with that. Please take that into account :p

    Look DO NOT insult my country where I can see it. Sure we are not the best in the world. But it is my home. I do not go around saying how much your home sucks now do I? Not to mention this is a direct violation of the TOS please be careful.

    Not to mention my husband would not be fighting for YOUR FAMILY's freedom if this country didnt mean something to the people that live in it.

    I was not sure if i want to spend money in PW-MY but i'm 100% sure i won't spend money in this version... if i ever play it. The cash shop currently doesn't have the item(s) i wanted to buy anyway.

    Attention to GMs- You make more money by dropping the prices.

    What would you rather have? The 100 guys willing to pay 1$ per 1 Gold or the couple thousand willing to pay 25 cents per Gold?

    Let me do some math for you guys.


    100 Guys buying 100 Gold @ 1 dollar = 10000 $

    2000 Guys buying 100 Gold @ 25 cents = 50000 $

    50000 > 10000

    You're welcome.
    And this

    Should this not work out, then i'll leave this game to the rich kiddies.
    Maybe i should finally start playing RL instead of PW

    So the ratio is 1/1? Wow, high level rides will be too god damn pricy and gold hieros...and fashions...and flying devices. Nevermind, I'll be a Wizard without cash shop.

    That's an awful move on their part.

    I have to agree with everyone here. I was so excited about this game, but the zen prices are just way to high. My whole, four person family, plays on each of their own computers and I liked the profile option very much,but their is just noway we will pay that much for zen. We have dumped some cash into other F2P MMO's and had fun doing it! I really hope someone really is listening because if the prices stay where they are we will also be going somewhere else to spend our "family fun" money. :(

    I totally agree with you, but I think we all should give it just a bit more time and see what happens. Its good we still have people like you who dont freak out and cuss out the devs of the game b/c of this. It is still in OB, so its good we show we dont like the prices, but it could do without the fowl language and accusations. imo

    Since when is an opinion fact? Also there is nothing appropriate about insulting an entire country this game was based around. Not to mention you cant think of any othe response other than "e-feelings" show's how smart you really are.

They have done a good job so far, it seems, listening to the community........Just hoping they keep up they good work!

    Haha...ah, this thread is truly amusing.
    The sheer amount of pissing and moaning here is gold.

    Considering this is a F2P game...and you're technically not required to buy anything from the CS....I would recommend you perhaps play a subscription-based MMO if you are dropping over $15 a month in the CS. Despite how much I like this game, the F2P system cant hold a candle to the amount of updated content you get in a P2P game ( I wont name names...but you know what games im talking about). I understand you might be all bent out of shape cuz you cant buy your heiros or whatever you waste your money on...but really, the amount of complaining going on here is out of hand for an extremely good FREE game. If they fix the prices? Great. I agree they'll likely make more money. If they leave it as is? Oh well.

    God forbid you have to play twice as long in PWI in order to get what you want, rather than immediately waste your allowance or paycheck or whatever on a stack of heiros or some new wings.

    I have characters both here and on MY-EN. I can spend around 10$/month on these games. With these prices, it would be stupid of me to spend it here, since I could only buy 1-2 items, while on MY-EN I can get much more. A hiero is a hiero, and does the same thing in both servers, so such an increase in price is not justified. It's not like a hiero from PWE brand will do better than a Cubizone one. >_>

    I was planning to spend a little money on both, but I'll have to continue only spending on cubis. I just hope they didn't ruin the game completely with this bad marketing move. It was such a nice start until now...

    P.S. A good thing I went on PvE server... I'm not rich enough to play PvP lol

    Yes, cash shop is more expensive than MY. But MY is a different country, different standards, different incomes. and PWI isn't affiliated with Cubinet, if I'm correct. I think it really depends on their target player base. The game has only been out for 1 day in OB, so give the devs some time. No /ragequitting plz, we have enough of that already.

    these prices r crazy i thought it was just a joke when i heard it but seriously $1=1zen/gold me n my wife were big spenders in pw.my for one she bought every piece of clothing the game had avialable and it cost no more then $50. Here $7 for a blouse this is crazy if gold heros come out u figure $5 a hero is not worth it i played an ea on my.en and went through 1-2 hp/mp heros a day so u figure that here $20 a day on heros it aint worth it im very disappointed on the prices i hope to see a change or a lot of players would rather deal with lag then high prices

    I played on the Malaysian server for a few days, I quit because the lag was so terrible. I never made it very high in levels because lag just plain irritates me. I didn't pay much attention to the cash shop because I wasn't going to spend money on something i could hardly stand playing.

    Now Open beta is here, after enjoying closed beta for multiple level 20+ and a 40+. I love this game and was ready to spend a good deal of money for both me and my gf to get whatever we needed for our new characters. But after seeing the price difference between versions, I have signed the petition and refuse to buy zen until either prices change or they double / triple the amount of zen given per dollar.

    My question to the PWI Marketers / people that make the pricing:
    Why should we buy it when there is so much to show that this current rate is an obvious rip off :confused:
