They need free players because without them you won't have enough players. All online games know this for fact. Prior to Free play you had to pay to get in to play. Now Free/Silver, Gold/Monthly, VIP/LT.. Gold/LT get more perks and stand out more. So far now as along as they have FREE open access to play the game with limits on add-on's you can see how things are changing to squeeze you to move out of Free into either GOLD or LT account. Everyone here going to have his or her opinion on this subject. But if you want things that's you can't get on Exchange or with D-Ore then ZEN is your choice, but if you go with ZEN you might as well get on GOLD, but then again LT - Life-Time gives you extra perks. Vets seem to get extra extra perks.
Have fun!
you dont have to be liftime or monthly subscriber to use the c-store you can just as easy pay cash for zen and buy something but still remain a silver player, dont be fooled by the lifetime perks, ok it good value IMO but you can get some much better ships and kit for a lot less for zen without subbing.
having said that if you can afford lifetime and play a lot its a bargain in my mind, i have never regretted buying it, and it doesent take long to save your stipend for other stuff you might want especially if you can top it up a bit by converting some dilithium.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Nope, used to do a bit of that riding round 1-2 mile stretches of road in a quite exuberant manner with a bunch of like minded nutters though.
Lovely! I've been watching loads of vloggers lately, bought myself a Drift HD for the funzies and to record the common stupidness on the road. Unfortunatly still on a 50cc... Going for a full license in a year or so, hehe .
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

Very Off topic, but small piece of advice - learn to ride before taking up video logging stuff.
I don't mean just passing your test, I mean actually knowing how to ride. Almost no one normal will ever intentionally go out expecting to die in a traffic accident - but on average every day in the UK one of us bikers will lob ourselves at the scenery and die. Is just a sad, statistical fact.
If you come off, all your protection is what you wear - don't skimp on protective stuff, even on a 50. Essentially, your safety is down to you, and you alone. You cannot rely on other road users to use the road safely, simply because while basically every time you will be just fine, the one time it doesn't go well you end up in hospital with a smashed bike thinking "what went wrong..."
And the sad part is in well over 90% of accidents, it will be a human error that caused the accident.

Offtopic indeed, and true in so many ways. And even though how safe you can make it, a freak accident is happens in seconds. Just saw the video about David Holmes (r.i.p. disclaimer: do not watch if you're easily offended). I've got my license february this year and have been recording since may. Have had a vast improvement in riding experience. Have been cycling for years though (+/- 30kmph avg).

Ride safe mate!
As I read this I heard a motorcyclist go by easily doing 90mph. Everyone in the comfort of their own home seems to think how safe they behave on the road, until they turn that switch.
You won't catch me on a motorcycle after seeing the guy who had his face removed by the pavement, eyeballs and all.

Heard about a guy who hit a guardrail so hard it took his head off...
1. I have enough EC not to complain ( if there is such thing) made some a while back and still have some.
2. I am not a Cryptic hater, doom guy or anything like that. For instance i know many that hate some late changes but i actuality like the way this game is going regarding some game-play aspects. I want to see more of that.
BUT i see to many people complaining about how hard is to make EC now, how u need EC to make EC and so on. The idea is that many people are casual games not professional grinders/farmers.Now that junk farming its not working anymore they seem to have problems making EC. I might add that with the new changes regarding consoles now its useless to hope u will get some good console from making 1st in some runs, u get utter junk.
Also what its not working anymore (without taking a huge risk) its buying things low after market saturation ( lock box) waiting and selling later. With all this late changes regarding lvls or stuff and so on only sure thing are lock boxes ships, some uni consoles (and possible traits). But again those things are not cheep for poor players and having your little EC locked out for moths ...
It would be nice if some things would be implemented to help poor players get a decent start. Imo at least.
P.S. - I know there still ways to make EC but i am talking about some people that for various reasons cant do those due to lack if skill, EC, time etc.
Please stay on the subject my last post was closed due to some people starting talking about nonsense, if u plan to do that make your own post )
Of course it is F2P. You can do and get ANYTHING in the game without paying a single dime of RL money. Now, if you WANT something quicker, you can of course pay money, but you don't HAVE to. So I would call the game not so much Free To Play and Pay For Convenience.

Yeah, a lot of people think similar. And you are perfectly entitled to, it is a free universe after all. But, if you actually look at causes of deaths, motorbikes aren't as bad as they appear.
Statistically, in my country the UK, you are far more likely to die of flu than you are of a motorcycle crash. You are also more likely to kill yourself than to die in a motorcycle crash. Or be killed by National Health Service incompetence. Even be an elderly person and die in your own home because you couldn't afford heating on the pitiful state pension. (far more likely, sadly)
Or look at the Mike the Bike - survived racing's most dangerous era on 2 and 4 wheels to die in a Rover SD1 when a truck driver did something really stupid.
(even more off topic - David Holmes case above - the worst part is he was doing precisely the right/wrong speed to have that accident, 10 mph faster and he would have cleared the junction before Clio could turn in, 10 mph slower and the Clio would have completed it's turn with his underwear now brown...)

you dont have to be liftime or monthly subscriber to use the c-store you can just as easy pay cash for zen and buy something but still remain a silver player, dont be fooled by the lifetime perks, ok it good value IMO but you can get some much better ships and kit for a lot less for zen without subbing.
having said that if you can afford lifetime and play a lot its a bargain in my mind, i have never regretted buying it, and it doesent take long to save your stipend for other stuff you might want especially if you can top it up a bit by converting some dilithium.
