Is Living World Season 2 Free with HoT?
Season 2 was released in episodes (8 to be exact) during 2014-2015. If you logged in during the release it was free. Now you have to buy it through the gemstore.
I thought Living World Season 2 was included with HoT … but the game is asking me to pay. So was it supposed to be included?
Thanks
There are/were 3 ways to play season 2 for free, but buying HoT is not one of them. The 3 ways are:
1) Log-in for 1 second within 2 weeks of a chapter being released to unlock the chapter (this is of course no longer possible).
2) Convert in-game gold to gems and buy the chapters with gems.
3) Play together with someone else who has the chapters unlocked (this does not give you the achievements and does not give you the rewards but does allow you to experience the story and gameplay of season 2).
I think it would have been a good idea to bundle LS2 with HoT. It would have added more value in terms of quantity of content for new players while increasing the overall quality by giving a better view of the story.

But it would have decreased the value of HoT for the players who already had LS2 (at least in their eyes), especially for those who used real money to buy LS2.

No.
Adding x to y, assuming non negative numbers, always results in a sum that is at least equal to the base component of the equation.
If someone, such as myself for example, already had access to LS2 adding it to HoT would not add value to my purchase, but it would not take anything away either. I would still get exactly as much fromHoT as if LS2 was not bundled in.

I said ‘at least in their eyes’. The same outcry happened because the core game was bundled in with HoT. The drama would’ve been even bigger.

Personally I doubt that there would be greater outcry over LS2 than over the entire core game, but who knows. I suppose that some people might value a smaller amount of content that they got free of charge more than the entire game for which they paid.
Sorry, I did ignore the, “in their eyes,” bit because neither of us are qualified to claim how unnamed others would see or think about it. I can say that it would not have reduced the value of HoT to me.
I can imagine that some might feel that a purchase of LS2 would have been devalued. Perhaps even those who felt pressured into logging in to unlock each episode when they were not otherwise so inclined might be similarly disappointed. But HoT itself would objectively include the same amount of content for an LS2 owner regardless.

Ashen I think it would have been a nice thing to bundle it in, but you cannot tell me that the INSANITY we saw with the core game being bundled in would inspire the devs to do something like that again. The viciousness we saw on these forums for weeks and weeks of people screaming they were being abused and robbed and their parents kitten d to death infront of them over new players getting stuff they paid for ages ago was pathetic and frankly showed a disappointing side of humanity.
Nice idea but the people here make it a very hard job to be nice to strangers.
