    Default I joyfully waited for 1.5 for so long, but...

    I kept checking for the 1.5 update at least 2-3 times a day. Joyfully updated when it FINALLY was out. The opposite effect struck me: disappointment. Not just disappointment, but also aversion.
    I already thought the game was getting pretty expensive (campaigns costing more and more every update), but this beats everything.

    -Charactar customisation!
    Really? 20 platinum to change the COLOR of a face you can hardly see? And guess what! They even messed up the birds face; to encourage us to buy those face paintings. You've gotten sneaky STS, very sneaky.

    -Capture the flag
    I'm refusing to buy this.

    -Consignment shoppe!
    Huzah! The long awaited consignment shoppe!
    But wait what...? They promised us 3 slots? we only got ONE?
    wait what...? Didn't they tell us 10 platinum for 5 slots? We have to pay FORTY plat for 5 slots now?
    Oh yeah and don't even get me started on the fees.

    Just want to say thank you sts, for screwing us over. I thought the update could not disappoint me, but you prove me wrong. Congratulations.

    Lol I thought the same thing.
    At AO3 I waited for it and it finally came, but cost 2x as much as any other map. I was like omg wtf but I got it anyways because I thought it was worth it, but just bearly.

    I got wind of this a few weeks ago and I thought well they can't possibly ruin CS because what is there to pay for?
    Submitted to app store and they tell us we only get 3 slots and you have to pay 10p per 5 more. I thought wtf but I looked at my stash full of pinks and thought. Well its kinda worth it. I was glad they didn't kill this update like they almost did with AO3.
    Big day. CS comes out. I look at store. I resolve not to ever pay anything on this game ever again, and when new maps come out I'm quitting.
    I am not the only person thinking this, mark my words. I'm betting your income will drop dramatically in the next few days.
    You messed up.

    Same. I'll play when my friends are on, but if the next map is too pricy, I'll cut my losses and quit. This game has become a cash sinkhole.

    And they made the bird ugly now so I feel almost forced to buy a new face. But I won't.

    yes it is

    lighten up! You all act like the world is coming to an end, and if it is because of the changes in a game then you need to see a shrink... just like I am to cope with no android app, and now I'll have to pay overtime because the pocketlegends.com site has an android app pic that has no link.....

    This your first MMO? Usually on every MMO forum people feel the need to announce to everyone they are quitting, and there are usually a bunch of people joking saying "can i haz ure stufz?". Like I said though, if this is your first MMO than you likely wouldn't get it.

    I look at it this way: the Magic Mirror, additional consignment store slots, and other "vanity" items amounts to a voluntary tax. Money to pay salaries to develop new content, to buy servers and to run them costs. The money has to come from somewhere. The game itself is free. The first 13 levels of your character's life cost you nothing. Yes, you do have to purchase additional maps to continue leveling, but there's no fee to play and you can play as much or as little as you like. Compare it with WoW--$30 (or so) to get the game and then $77.94 for six months of time on their server (the cheapest rate) or $155.88 a year whether you played for 10 minutes or 160 hours.

    The money has to come from somewhere. Spacetime seems to have adopted the idea of letting people pay to support the system through the sale of luxuries. Faces too expensive? Don't buy them. Consignment store slots too spendy? Don't buy more--use the free one you have and sell in Forest Haven or on the Forum. Point being that you don't need the extras (except for additional maps) to play and, personally, I'd much rather pay occasionally for silly extras than get saddled with an onerous monthly bill. Got enough of those as it is.

    Or, amortize it out--what's the cost of entertainment per hour?

    WoW (assuming you could pick up the software for $25 and 6 months of time at $77.94 and 160 hours of playing time) = $0.64/hour
    Book (assuming it's a hardcover at $24.95 and it takes you 5 hours to read) = $4.99/hour
    Movie (assuming it's a full 2 hours long and you buy matinee tickets--$6.75 here) = $3.38 hour
    PL (assuming you spent $50 on it, buying all maps and some other stuff and 160 hours of playing time) = $0.31/hour

    Ok now please amortize it out again
    and calculate the cost of entertainment per hour for pocket legends VS OTHER app store games.
