My 2 silvers on 03/14/2015 07:22 AM CDT
I want to weigh in my 2 silvers on the new accounts. I am a returning player and a few things unlike others I don't.
Pro's it's gemstone I get to play again a game I have enjoyed a lot for a long time. And if money gets tuff because well being an adult sucks I can keep my account open no worries no cost. Huge bonus.
I like some of the restrictions because last time I played I got stuck in the number crunch. I hope that the restrictions will help me worry more about rp.
The meh
100k in Max in the bank. Not sure but most fun/cool gear cost a lot more than that. And with no locker something's like battle dolls will become an encumbrance nightmare. Please uncap silvers for free to play players.
No lumnis for me it's meh I miss it but it's not going to make or brake my enjoyment of the game for hunting and leveling.
The ugly
Gear passes are temporary. Really? So I will have to spend 25-35 dollars to get enough silvers to by said gear then money sink to use it? That's more than double dipping if you ask me.
Society,guild, and artisan skills requiring multiple purchases to be part of or use. This in my oppionion will actually encourage people to brake policy with scripting things afk to cut down on cost. I can see if you can't resign from a society and only get 1 artisan skill that you can learn without paying. Just make it clear that you get 1 chance with them and have to pay if you change your mind. Not sure about guilds and guild skills but the lack of them being available was why I chose to reroll my F2P character to a ranger.
The casting/healing passes. I know this was so people with spellbot accounts don't close them but it does seem like a cash grab. Currently playing a ranger it doesn't affect me but it does hinder the pures and eventually some of or most of the semis.
