I'd like to point out that this update was a gift to all of us that are not able to play this game with rl-money. I appreciate it very much. You can get now decent pendants, inv slots, pets, a haircut, facial circumcision and a lot more gimmicks for free. Just remember: an auction slot update of 20 was 75 plat before.

I felt this post is necessary, since a lot of the feedback STS gets is negative. And I think STS deserves a round of applause.

:applause:

Thank you

From all of us plat buyers that payed for it.

You are very welcome. You think since you payed for your own slots, inv, etc., that you "gave us" our stuff? It's a free game, free MMO, we aren't required to pay for anything and we aren't required to have people think lower of us for not spending money on a free game either.

Hey, no need to get all worked up over here. First of all, nobody said anything about the plat payers giving the non-plat payers anything, nobody said this was not a free game/MMO, nobody said you were required to pay for anything, etc etc. Commanderkeen is not implying anything over here, maybe you just misunderstood his superior logic, for all we know.

Oh, shucks. I'd figured the timing was off this time for some humor to be involved...

Yes, and people should appreciate STS for this, but IMHO, this update (not Crawly) was a bit unnecessary.

Before, you could obtain 4 story tokens per day, and Colton costed 200 story tokens, so in 50 days, people were able to obtain Colton.

In this update, you can obtain 10 story tokens per day, and Colton now costs 500 story tokens, so again, in 50 days, people are able to obtain Colton, so basically, nothing really changed.

If STS wanted to add a new pet (Crawly), and add a few items, they should've done so without changing the amount of story tokens able to earn per day and without changing Colton and a couple other pets' price either. I think this part was really unnecessary because all you did here was screw up all the other players with 170-199 (more or less) story tokens.

If it'd were up to me, I'd keep the old prices, add Crawly's egg to be purchasable for 200-250 story tokens, make the Tenor Pendants worth around 50-100 story tokens (they're pretty useless compared to the present mythic/legendary amulets), extra character slots for 70-75 story tokens, extra inventory slots for 40-50 story tokens, extra auction slots for 25-30 story tokens, etc.

This is just a fair suggestion IMHO. STS, please consider it.

hey instant, you totally forgot mention all the other benefits (apperiances, pets, amulets, and so forth). Of course sts is not a socialist company, but in my eyes they try to give back in between their commercial boundaries.

I didn't mention the appearances because there was nothing wrong with them, but I did mention the pets and amulets. I also think that being able to buy inventory slots/stash slots/ auction slots/character slots with a different currency from platinum is great! All I'm saying is that there's nothing wrong with STS' intentions, it's just that it could've been better. I totally appreciate their efforts, of course.

Well, thx to developers from my side. I feel that this update is really in favor of game overall. I really think this is step in right direction and I sure hope they will continue in same manner. Just give it some time and you will all feel that game is revitalized. With such steps maybe even the PvP will be revitalized some day in the future.

Thx STS.

This ongoing inflation in game is affecting all of us, plat-user or not. Believe it or not, this update is gonna help big one.

If u used to use plat to buy all those goodies now u can save them up for other stuff, ultimately it's a win-win-win situation.

Anyone saw that COLTON IN STABLE is PURCHASABLE FOR 200TOKENS But If u WANT TO BUY AS EGG IT COSTS 500TOKENS so for you,you can obtain colton in 20days cuz its just 200tokens in stable OK!

This is indeed one of the best updates in the history of this game, they did it better than i could imagine

Genius from the point of view of sts cause now we all want crawly, inventory slots, extra character slot.. we gotta come and play on a daily basis

Just like when i was farming story tokens for colton, i want more tokens a day please =]

Exactly! Just as what I've been dreaming for - to actually do daily quests in game and strive for max inventory slots!

Yes. And this :) :

In the future we plan to make respecs a "box" that can be resold. Just like Grimm Eggs, you could purchase respecs with platinum and then resell them for gold. That's the internal plan right now, anyway.

Thanks on behalf of our buddies that cannot have plats due to any reason.

Even if it was a plan, I'm overjoyed by the thought of it! I's have to say this is by far the best update!

For all you complainers, this update gives free players a chance to experience more gameplay firsthand than just plat buyers experiencing it. Gives more freedom for the free players to actually play unlike other mmos where u had to buy everything With money mostly. So good job STS

I'm pretty sure that's a bug that they will fix in the next patch, from what I've read.

Was gunna say: Vanity Outfits
Then I thought: Cheap with gold

Was gunna say: Elixirs
Then I thought: Daily allies

It's official.. everything can be bought without plat
(Except guild halls..)

False.

1) Klass rarely gives you the elixirs you want.

2) Shazbot is always garbage.

3) arcane eggs are ONLY in locks.

4) mythic pets were in eggs once, and I doubt STS will do it again based on their massively negative feedback.

5) exclusive pets like haze are still plat only.

6) Plat revives, don't forget these.

7) Do you honestly believe that plat doesn't make this game easier?!? If you open a crap load of licks I asure you that you will build wealth faster than any elite runner. They are magic boxes openable at any level and offer the best gear in the game. Think about that while someone spend 900k opening 10 EGPBs.

Dear Plat-Users: Thanks for your money. STS and mostly I really do appreciate that.

Now to the critics of non-plat users, and why I think this update was a blessing. Consider that a lot of players do not live in the us or uk. Pick Germany (very limited free plat offers). Furthermore take the fact that most players play android, not apple (most free offers are for apple). And at last consider that a lot of players a under 16 or younger and dont have access to credit cards (in Germany not under 16 possible as in many other countries too).

Alright, what do we have.

A foreign-country kid, under 16, playing on android=pretty common

A foreign-country kid, under 16, playing on android=no access to plat whatsoever

And although I am German, I am Free-Plat-User. I live in the u.s., I have a credit card, an apple ipad and a ton of free plat offers.- but nevertheless:

Thats why a big hug again to STS for that one, you made a lot peeps in my guild happy. :)
