Is it worth to buy it ? I am one of the first players since i pre purchased the original game when it was not free to play, but somehow it does not seems fair to pay the double ammount for a game for the same content.
When it became free to play , we who purchased the game got actual exras, like more character slots etc.
When a free to player purchases the expansion he gets the exras too for that 45 €.
Then tell me please , why should we the first players pay the SAME 45 € for nothing more then the content, because We already had the extras with the purchase of the Original game ?
It does not seems fair to me.
Because you had 3 years to play it. Just about every single game goes down in price. I can’t think of many game at all that 3 years later aren’t a tiny fraction of what it cost when it came out. I’ve bought games for $50 bucks that were $5 three years later.
People who were here got loot and experience new players have no access to. A new player can’t play Twilight Arbor forward up path, for example or the old ascalonian catacombs before the update. They missed all of Living Story Season 1. They missed the Bazarre fo the Four Winds.
People pay a premium for getting in first. It’s always like that with games.
On top of that, MMOs have the problem of new players having to buy multiple titles to get into the game, so many MMOs including WoW and EQ aren’t charging for the expansions after the first. If you own WoW and the new expansion you get every expansion in between, because Blizzard knows they’re nto going to get people to start playing if they have to buy 4 games. So it’s a business decision too.
Lowering the barrier to entry is good for veteran players and we should be happy Anet is doing it, because if you don’t replace players lost to natural attrition, you soon won’t have an MMO at all.
Nah this games dont have subscription, so you can´t bring up wow. Take for example Tera, it is a free to play game now, but if you buy the game for the same price as it was when it came out you still get bonuses.
But here, you can´t say that you payed for the time you played.
The free to players missed some content ? Well they could buy the game anytime. They didn´t. I am telling you its not FAIR for the first players to buy for the SAME ammount the expansion.
What would you say if u would buy a game then it becames free to play and u got nothing for your money. Time is not a reward for the ammount we payed, again its not a WoW. If we know that it becames free to play after a year we would have not purchased it maybe ?
Look man We don´t want back our money, but at least a 50% discount to buy the expansion.
That would be fair.
