Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Secret Devs. conversation about the new mounts:

    Dev1: Those idiots are still complaining about the free medals, the nerve, cant they understand that DQ page was in our way? Our new Medal of glory pack is almost ready.
    Dev2: Yes they think that can get away not paying for everything just ignore them for a couple of months more.
    Dev1: BTW we just did a couple of recolors of that 5 gold mount, the girly ninetails.
    Dev2: Cooool, how long it took you to make those recolors.
    Dev1: Nearly 5 minutes, I am so not going to be working on PW for like 6 months.
    Dev2: Definitively more time than that old game deserves, cant we force those idiot players to play our new **** already?
    Dev1: Hey so long they keep charging gold I dont mind that much, 5 minutes of our time definitely worth 150 USD dont you think?.
    Dev2: Yea and thats cheap, hey I got an idea lets add the recolors through bonus zen rewards, that way we can say they can get them almost for "FREE" as a bonus for charging zen, one of them will still cost 150 USD anyway, those idiots will never realize that way.
    Dev1: OMG amazing idea, "FREE" is our favorite word. Do it right away.

    Edit: Fixed typos :O

    QFT, They used the sacred word "EXCLUSIVE", have you ever, ever heard them say "EXCLUSIVE" B4? I'm more positive though, they will be in the catshop in a couple of months.

    How does it cost $150 again? If you need to charge $150 for enough points, it's not like you don't get your gold if you get the mount. Fail logic much?

    For some people that play this game, $150 is nothing. I think it's nice to have bonuses like these.

    Seriously Okeano, if you need to charge 150 USD to get it, then it cost 150 USD, and yea you still have the gold, do you think anyone in his sane mind will pay 150 gold for a mount? That does not justify that you still have to charge 150 USD to get the mount for "FREE" <-- nothing is really free.

    My thoughts:

    1.) Even though the mount is just a recolored Ninetails, I found that to me personally, it looks better than the feminine Ninetails.

    2.) $150 bucks for a mount that goes the same speed as a $2 mount, with the only difference being looks? Lol, what? I don't understand.

    3.) Obvious milking player base of cash.

    I like the mount. I hate PWI management. They're vampires. Their souls are less worthy than used car salesmen and IRS workers. They will burn in hell. Guaranteed.

    No, that's just plain and simply wrong. If something costs 150 $, you lose the money and get the item in exchange. Technically, this mount is free but has the drawback that you need to charge 150 gold to get it... Ty, Okeano, at least one person that gets it...

    A little food for thought about this mount sale, is this...

    The mount has been available in PWI's game client for a while now (since the EG expansion I believe). It's been freely, or nearly-freely available on private PW servers since then as well. If you really want to have this mount, play around w/ it on a private server. Don't waste $150 for it, unless your spending $150 for something else already, and don't mind getting the mount.

    It's free for people who was going to charge $150 for the gold anyways. No one's putting this mount for sale for $150 or asking you to charge $150 so you can get the mount. That's like saying in a deal you get a free burger if you buy this car. ZOMG a burger costing $20,000?

    If anything this encourages csers to charge zen and results in cheaper gold. Why are you guys complaining about this?

    QFT.

    You know the worst part though? They'll go through with this promotion, and a few months later, they will release these mounts for half price or lower, and all those people who charged an insane amount of money are going to be SO pissed. (I don't blame them.)

    Why would I charge 150+ dollars/euros for a mount that I can already buy for like...2 bucks? Who the hell is in charge of marketing, and WHAT are they smoking?!

    The problem is, this is an MMO. In MMO's, everybody wants to be different; they want to look different, they want to be original. That's why you have people who get kind of irritated when they see someone with a fashion similar to their own or someone who has a character who looks like theirs. (Used to happen to me all the time before I became purple and put my bangs over one eye...Lazy people and their lack of fish customizations!)

    Everybody is going to want these mounts. They will want them because they look original....until they find out that every Mary Sue and Bobby Joe on this game has charged 150+ dollars to get one...then they won't feel so special anymore. So, they will recolor even MORE mounts and do the exact same thing with them. (Or, release them in packs.) It's a vicious cycle.

    I also wonder if the company who owns Transformers has seen that little slogan yet?
    PWI--Pack Sales in Disguise!
    They made fun of me because I wasn't a R8 Psychic...and then came third cast. It's not funny anymore.

    This will be my last post about this, you have to charge 150 USD to get the mount, so it costs you 150 USD, USD not gold, to get this mount if you want it, you still keep the gold and are free to do whatever you want with it, that aside this mount is not free is a hook to make ppl charge 150 USD (or 200 if they want both). Thats all.

    FREE Medals of glory in zen rewards only 5000 points each! What you complain? But its FREE!

    I dont think you guys understand what a bonus is.

    If you really want the mount , but you aren't an idiot, you'll wait till its common enough to be decently cheap.

    That's owned? Why the **** would you buy the car just for the burger? If you don't need a car and think $20,000 is too much just for the damn burger, DON'T BUY IT! It's just free for someone who happens to need to buy a car. *face palm* I'm done, you guys are idiots.

    Yeeeea, the EXCLUSIVE mount is FREE, to whoever happens to CHARGE 150 BUCKS for one week only as a BONUS. If you dont want it, then dont charge gold, however if you want it... then and only then, the mount will require you to CHARGE 150 BUCKS and you will get it for FREE, as a BONUS.
