Hi, I am not what you would call complaining. I knew the risks but im done buying zen due to this Halloween event seems a bit unfair. And yes I bought zen from thePWI web site. I had 20 gold left over from the time i bought 50 before and I bought 20 more thinking I may have a chance to get the new steed that came out.yeah, i got a pair of 3 star boots and no mount at all. This is all my $40 got me.and my wife and I were going to spend $60 more onin game marrage, HAHAHAHA! Guess you guys wont be getting that $60. Im done supporting your servers with my hard earned cash. If I really wanted to waist cash I would have got the ugly boa for $50. So, just to let PWI know, I will not be supporting your servers anymore and I will also take down my myspace links for other people to join PWI. Have fun and enjoy !!!!

    *In shock*

    This is heart-breaking news, I think I'm going to slice my wrists, drown and electrocute myself all at the same time.

    And then brag about it to the emo's in my city.

    Here, have a cookie.

    So what? That's F2P standard, and your post just proves that it worked extremely well.

    Would you have paid $40 if you had gotten the "exclusive" mount right away?

    There may or may not be legal problems with the way F2P companies operate, but to my knowledge nothing has been decided as of yet anywhere on thw world.

    That's what a BET is all about.

    Look what the others get, sample some tenths of winners/losers, do a bit of maths to evaluate your chances , and use your brains to decide if it's worth the price.

    Now is a good time to sell gold tough.

    Not a scam, statistics. Knowing the average size of people's networks, the estimated average number of attempts they'll give it before quitting you can calculate what chance there should be to get something desirable. And naturally, once there's someone you know who got something nice, you'll likely try more often.

    There may indeed be legal implication to this game of chance.

    yeah I would have spent $40 but thats my cut off limit. Anyways maybe I should have had my coffee and woke up before I posted anything. I would have just kept it to myself then. Oh well, I guess thats why I dont speak when im half asleep. Im always angery. anyways it would be a good idea for PWI to release new things in the cash shop and give players a chance to buy it out right or try there luck and win them. I just hate throwing $40 bucks out the window XP and having nothing to show for it.

    I spent 1.8mil on angels. Got 1 gold necky, 1 Wing, and 2 3*s. Sold the necky for 1mil and traded the Wing for Goose + 1mil. So at the end I got 2mil + Untamed fly :)

    It is a game of chance, and it is gambling with real money if you chose to do so. We all know that chances of getting something good are slim, we also know that our chances of getting common shards will be fairly high, but that's the chance we're willing to take when we gamble. Just have to figure out how much you're willing to gamble with. No different than going to a casino or playing the lottery.

    I bought 4 GA's from the cash shop, and used 200k in game coins. Didn't get much, but that's my limit. The items just aren't THAT important to me having fun in the game b:pleased

    i spent $25 on angel's and got:
    1 3* Club
    2 3* neckalces
    2 untamed aerogear (traded one for wings, gave one to my partner)
    1 Nightmare (for all the non D&D'ers that would be the horse)

    I realized
    ~*~ The typical treats you get are actually a pretty good value 20 of them = 20 potions from the apothocary at 3400 each = 68k still coming out 20k ahead
    ~*~ The shards most of them i will trade up to lvl 5 shards so will save me some money but probably lost about 20k each on them
    ~*~ The candies sell for 12k i believe to teh npc so you are loosing about 30k there
    ~*~ 3* items you *should* be able to recover your costs on them or profit
    ~*~ The pills are just a complete and total loss b:angry
    ~*~ The Amulet/Necklace of the headless horseman seem to be selling at the 200k range which is a 150k profit roughly
    ~*~ Aerogear i have not seen for sell yet but imagine its 1 mil + easy, same for the Horse

    all in all there is alot more good items then bad
