i noticed that DL has overpriced items and options. Like when i was gonna make a extra char, it said 50 plat -_- And i really dont get the point of buying exp either. I rather earn xp myself and be proud of it instead of buying exp. Also buying plat is way more expensive and u get less then other games like PL and SL. So basically buying a char slot is like 8 bucks? I was wondering if this is a mistake or just did it on purpose?

P.S: im not gonna actually buy plat since items are way overpriced.

I agree with the price of the extra slot. Other than that some things could come down some but overall it isn't too bad.

It isn't a mistake. I have seen several comments from devs on it.

It seems like with the increased time and money I'm sure that went into the game they have increased the prices to make up for it. I guess only time will tell ig it lasts.

I remember justg saying that pl and SL is cheap compared to other games and he's right.
DL is cheap compared to other games in the app-store
DL's price is still reasonable, not that overpriced

Edit: want to know what game I'm comparing? Pm me

The iPhone was originally thought as a doomed or at most niche product for the upper middle class apple fanboys, and rumor tells that sales did get more and more sluggish after the original said fanboys bought their share. what happened for it to become so immensely popular? they slashed the prices.

lets see in how DL turns out.

DL is a mature game for a mature audience. It would make sence that this game would be more expensive because its more mature than PL and SL. Most mature people work, and will pay money for a better experience.

I just don't think that increasing the price of areas of the game that can be overlooked or worked around is a good move. For instance; 50 plat for another character within the same account, or free if I just use a new account (coincidentally the 50 stash slots and 1 auction slot can be obtained via the same method negating the need to spend 130 plat). Besides some of the vanity items and the plat pack items the need to spend is less imo since elixirs are obtainable with mission rewards. Minus the slight hindrance of not being able to play for over 2 hours due to energy constraints, the need to spend isn't there for me.

Not even for pl when it first came out were the prices even close to that lol. If they were to use those prices, then everything would cost more plat. It'll never happen. The people that bought mass amounts of play for its current price will go into a huge fury when they realize that they spent real money on amounts of plat that would cost 10x less for that same amount, if your idea were implemented.

My opinion, which is also the truth, is that over pricing everything had to be done here for this game.
This game allows you to be reeeeeally good on your own at an easy pace.
Buying platinum IMHO is not worth it. All you need is a little patience.
Yeah it does suck that the prices are high, but that makes it more of a challenge.
Ha ha I havent bought plat yet and I have made over 400k.
It gets easier don't worry :-)

I don't mind the prices, personally. I can afford them and it is a F2P game. What I buy is a luxury, after all...

Awe I wish you could play more!
Andd my secrets are pretty simple, I grind, solo runs over and over.
You are speaking to the most relentless player in SL x)
When I set goals, I grind until they are met.
I have sold some stuff at cs but pretty much everything I have made is from soloing.
I use the timers to my advantage and use all my energy on runs :-)

Guys I think the reason characters cost more is because it's not like in PL and SL where you choose a class, there is much more room for flexibility in DL and therefore less of a need for more character slots. At any point I can decide to change my equips for max HP, Defense, or Attack/Damage. Fair pricing.

hmm k then if thats not possible then>>> some kinds of content packs available starting directly at $0.99 price point in game without having to go through plat micro-transactions
lot of games have this when they use IAP and in game currency
