I don't know if I'm missing something, but why do I see people under lvl 35 riding lvl 40 or 60 mounts?

I saw a chick riding the kirin mount and she was definitely not lvl 60, She had all the amour of a newly lvl 30 along with a lvl 34 sword.

I also saw a chick riding a Elephant and she was definitely not lvl 40, unless she decided to wear every piece of equipment that a lvl 14 would wear.

Then a guy in my guild who I know isn't even lvl 30 yet was riding a Kirin mount.

So either everyone is downdressing or I am missing that you now can ride mounts at any level?

    if you get the speed upgrade it will lower the mounts level restriction to 20. go to the cash shop in game and look at the mount upgrades they have been changed to show that they will lower the level from 40 to 20 for the first one and 60 to 20 for the other one

    Wait, what? The seems massively broken.

    Before I start caring about this game I suppose I should research the shop, since I'll be spending $0 in it this game might not even be worth playing.

    There is no MUST in buying Item-mall items with real money.

    At this game, you can buy Item-Mall items via Ingame Gold.
    At Lost City its about 200.000 ingame-Money for a 2.50 Zen Gold Item.


    Its up to you if you wanna spend real cash, ingamecash, or non cash at all on Item-Mall items :)
    €dit as much as you want. You cant Change the Truth!
    So dont think you are save. I am watching YOU!

    If the imbalance between payers and non-payers is too great, it's not worth playing IMO.

    But like I said, need to read up first =p

    they should indicate that buying the upgrade will lower the ride's lvl to 20 in the cash shop, this way people will know for sure.

    there's no real imbalance, its mearly a question of time

    buying stuff with cash lets you get things faster

    doing everything free mearly takes you longer

    your being handed a completely free game, dont whine just because people who spend the money (to allow the game to stay in business) get things faster than you

    Aye. I come from another F2P MMO where I was a fairly heavy donator, and I'm just not ready to get back into that again. At least not yet.

    Right on the upgrade item now, it says that it lowers the level.

    So you don't have to troll the forums to find out.

    Its a glitch in the game or thats what Ive been told. Im guessing the reason it wasnt fixed is because this is a business and they are profiting off people buying 2 items instead of just the ride.

    It is clearly stated as a feature on the upgrade items, so I doubt it is a glitch. However, there does appear to be a bug with what is displayed for the upgrade item itself.

    For instance, I see the "Spurs of Alacrity" listing that it lowers the required level from 40 to 20, and the "Galewind Spurs" also list that it lowers the level from 40 to 20. It appears like this for all characters I have and even if I relog it is the same. I figured this was normal, however, other people say they see it as lowering the required level from 60 to 20 instead of 40 to 20 as it lists for me. Considering I have seen many people I am pretty sure are not yet 60 riding Kirins, I am inclined to believe that it is a display bug on my end only.

    Whats the current price of 1 gold in Euro's?

    Ofcourse ppl who spent rl money will be in advantage? What do you expect? The company needs to make money. Ppl who spent money can buy Hiero's so they don't have to sit or use potions thus they cna kill faster. Ppl with money can buy Exp. scrollss which makes you gain more exp.
    When you hit 60 ppl with real money can "Zhen". Using Hiero's and Miji's will level you like crazy when zhenning.

    Ppl who don't spent a dime will be levelling slower than paying customers. The good thing about this game is that you can get all the items without spending real money, but spent a lot of ingame gold. But you need to invest time to make money and that time could have been spent on levelling.....

    If the imbalance between payers and non-payers is not great enough, it's not worth paying IMO.

    During one of the patches, the shop description of the speed upgrade was changed to also include 'Lowers the level requisite from 40 to 20". So, people don't need to troll the forums to find this out now :).

    I see the same thing, so it must be a typo :).

    My friend spent all this time saving up to buy the spur thing and can't even figure out how it works. I was of no use because I never used one. If someone knows could you please let me know. Thanks
