Don’t worry, the economy will be ok. We put a lot of effort into keeping it protected.
Three years of more and more rewards ever creeping away from any casual players range of vision, let alone grasp, would say otherwise. The economy isn’t fine now, how is it going to improve with craptons of players with no monetary consequences for what they do with their accounts?
As for this announcement. What? They just said:
“We stand by Buy to Play as the best monetization model for players and developers.” And then in the next breath “Which is why we’re going free to play.”
I think I’m done, I love this game but its turning in to yet another Nexon scam, and I’ve stuck around like a trusting fool one too many times through Nexons business decisions over games I absolutely loved. I am sick of emotionally investing myself in to a world, a story, and characters, and then getting my heart ripped so some old fat suit can have even more spending cash he’s never going to use. We were just bald faced lied to, millions of players were just cheated out of anywhere from 60 to 10 dollars and years or months of gameplay, and we got, as compensation, an outfit.
Can’t any company in this industry maintain its business and artistic integrity? This crap happens so much these days I am seriously on the cusp of giving up on video games period. Back to chapter books and pen & paper RPGs at this point, their creators don’t rip out your beating heart to keep investors happy.
