Liwilliams Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 There's so much about this that was done in a ridiculous way, I'm surprised anyone is okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramecha Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Really? I thought it needed more fan boys trolling. How am I trolling? Any yes I am a fan of the game so call me what you want. That's what people who can't win arguments do right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerohiro Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 News Flash: Just about Every MMO that isnt WOW has this same model. Companies that make money aren't evil Really?

Ultramecha Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Really? They charge subscribers for features like a barber shop? Which game does that? Specifically besides this one?

CosmicKat Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I guess I should be honored to have the forums most active troll in my thread, at the very least it'll keep it active. It's not an accident and the goal is actually to kill the thread, and it works. It's premeditated and planned. It has been going on for months. When you've been reading the forums for a while you will see the patterns... 1) General dissatisfaction is voiced by a majority. Once the thread becomes popular the attack dogs are loosed. 2) The thread is then hi-jacked and spammed with corporate-friendly truthiness and outright propaganda. 3) Once hi-jacked, the posters then steer the conversation away from the original topic and it degrades into a short flame fest. 4) The majority lose interest in the thread because they've seen exactly the same posts hundreds of times by the same people and it then fades away.

xerohiro Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Really, they charge for customization example LOTRO. WOW Even charges to change race. You can change your hairstyle via ingame currency in WoW, They add free hairstyles for subscribers. The only thing they charge for is an actual race change.

I'm actually totally fine with charging for race changes,but there is alot of other **** that they want subs to pay for or save coins for months just to enjoy.

Andryah Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) It's not an accident and the goal is actually to kill the thread, and it works. No CK. that is not the goal. The goal is to not allow nonsensical comment in a forum go unanswered. Public discussion is like that. If the OP just wanted a soapbox.. this is the wrong medium.. he should probably just use Twitter or Facebook for that. Pretty much like this post of yours. Completely off topic, passive aggressive, inaccurate, and designed to deflect. (Which is quite ironic IMO). So I answered it. Next.

chuixupu Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) You can change your hairstyle via ingame currency in WoW, They add free hairstyles for subscribers. The only thing they charge for is an actual race change. Race change, gender change, faction change, re-customization that isn't race change (as in, changing your face, skin color, not really anything else you can change in the game, there's like 5 faces), renames, all cost $15-25. yes, you can change your hair color, style and a few jewelry/tatoo options where applicable (only a few race/gender combos have them) with in game gold. Just want to clarify that. Those free 600 coins a month sure go a long way huh, covers the Cathar the Race change the Hair change. The Dyes that we can use to make our armor unique. Covers it all bro! Damn that's one hell of a boon. I had some left over from the achievements, plus the month of April, and in a few more days I'll get 600 more. Patience is a virtue.

curtkram Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 come on folks, this thread is about oreos. how did it devolve into stuff like mr. hickman changing the goals set by mr. ohlen? it's not "marketing" or "promises," maybe they just screwed up managing expectations? of course that would imply they screwed up, but we know they don't do that. they've always been clear with their goals and intent, even when those change. or stuff about overpriced cartel market prices (even though everything is free, no matter how much it costs)? or andryah saying she's not trolling shortly after implying the OP is misleading us by saying "And.. everything someone says about themselves on the internet is 100% true too" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Did you know that Oreos are vegan? Heh, actually, I do, because my niece s a strict vegan and we were both a little surprised to discover that.
