'Main Spine' of Pocket Legends Content Free Forever and New Sandstone Caves

[StompArtist]

That's the thing though. I'm assuming with the XBOX maps you KNOW that eventually they will be free right? That way you can make the informed decision to buy now or wait.

PL players DIDN'T know. They thought, with no one correcting them, that only the first two campaigns were free and then you had to pay to play further. Then when all the campaigns were free we still thought that they would go back to having to be paid for, but they didn't. We never got the option to make the informed decision of choosing to wait til it's free or buying anyways.

From a business perspective it makes absolutely no sense to reimburse the players who played for 1 year on the content when it becomes free. STS would have to reimburse a massive amount of plat based profit and then would probably have to introduce an alternative way of making the money back (monthly fees?). It is simply not viable from a business standpoint. You do realize that everyone involved on the STS side of things wants to make profit, right? Someone has to pay for the Amazon servers!

But they COULD offer us something for free in return (like some of the new maps) so we don't feel like we just got a nice kick in the rump.

Yeah, the shield of gratitude was a bit underwhelming. New maps are out of the question because they are in part "the new profit stream"... Perhaps a special avatar background would have worked too.

Or say with absolute honesty that all maps that come out, vanity items available, and/or other paid accessories will eventually become free so you can wait now and buy later, or buy now.

Boo.

People who bought main spine still have to pay, not fair since it won't help us high level players.

Everyone who bought plat and the main spine helped fund the game, helped further developments be made and brought Pocket Legends to the point where it is now. Now they make it free, and mostly everyone wants some type of compensation. Isn't helping the game stay successful and moving forward enough? It is for me. I bought all 10 ears not just to have them, but to help the devs. If it weren't for everyone purchasing the main spine and other plat items the game wouldn't be where it is today.

So to you devs, congrats on making it one year with PL! You've done a great job so far and can't wait for future developments and for Blackstar. Keep up with the vanities too, I'm addicted lol.

Already done with the caves but so much fun yay now my friends can join me all the way to lvl 56

[superglut2]

well vanity shield isnt rly something id think the 20 dollars for campaigns + chars were worth it but im okay with it, its better then nothing.

[spookytooth]

Redundant thread minus the opener. Contenet is free..... wat r u gonna do... my advise is accept it, move on, enjoy your "beta acess" if u will, dont hate on the new people or the new profit system. I wouldnt have changed anything as Fluff mentioned, im happy with my experience and bottom line STS doesnt HAVE to reimburse anyone for anything and at anytime can do whatever they want with THERE game. Know this next time u do make a purchase that YES it is possible that eventually the contenet might be free after awhile. Either that or theres always ANGRY BIRDS

[Sanatorium]

How about those who owned the Main Spine content that got the Shield of Gratitude get Sandstone caves for free ?

That's what I was saying. But everyone rather say "boo hoo they don't have to give you anything."

Yes, I can go play other games (but not Angry Birds). I just thought I'd make a suggestion. But go ahead everyone -- justify their actions however you want.

It is better this way, with the main spine free and the plat (their pay) coming from elixirs. You do not need to have elixirs, but you do need maps. So the things you need to have are free but the ones you would like to have are plat.

If time travel were possible, I would go back and tell the devs a year ago that they need to make this change. Look at all the cool things we have now. There is no more leeching. Everyone is levelling in their appropriate maps. People are making friends with other people from the same level. The items that drop for them are things they can actually use (the good drops anyway). A player can get all the way to the level cap for FREE.

What is the price? Plat elixirs? I am glad to pay it. I was never counting the cost anyway.
