1.7.5 Content Update (75561)

[Epic Unicorns!]

I seriously thought about quitting a while ago, but I changed my mind. This is a great chance to quit! I used to love this game. I spent hours at a time playing before Sewers and AO was nerfed, and It was pretty great to spend a little plat here and there. I leveled to the new level cap of 50 and collected some cool sets. I spent maybe 50 plat before then? I looked just like the best people, I could keep up, and leveling was an achievment. Now if I join a Nuri game to try to level my main, people get angry and leave because I wont pot or buy good equiptment. I don't have a lot of good stuff anymore because it is pointless to farm somewhere I dont gain xp or where I cant kill anything. I Joined a WF game to do a quest...and I got left behind and got kicked from the game because elixer users beat the boss. I though I was going to have to quit over the MW scandal, but I thought STS fixed it for me (I dont think they did.) Now it would be perfectly rational for me to quit. Merry Christmas everyone. I believe the evil spirit of greed has corrupted the heart of this game we once loved.

Well, I'm not a noob, and I still feell the player base is being very harsh and unfair to the dev team.

You said it yourself that you didn't like what you saw here, moved on to a different game, and then saw the same thing happen over there! and you came back - is it possible that this is just the way these games are run?

Personally, I've never been the type that tries to fight against the tide...

I just like how the casual games cost the most but the extreme games like WoW or RS have a monthly subscription. Guess I either suck on a extreme game or suffer in the pocket on a casual game.

[Pharcyde]

I just don't get it... :-( I was so exited excited about this event... This is the worst! I understand you guys just gave away two free campaigns, but this is CHRISTMAS... I get that you want to make profit off of it but I haven't seen anything free... Maybe I'm wrong but I think the only way the Christmas event effects u is if u spend huge ammounts of plat :'-( I really thought it wasnt gonna be like this... :-(

2 things free -

Boring dull antlers that were given out last year

access to a new chat room - santa claws room.

You can play all the way up to the cap for free. Just last month we gave you Mt. Fang for free. This holiday content is completely elective.

you might have given the map for free but do you know how many people got x4 elixers? Because i dont.( alot )

It is sad when veterans and contributers are on the forum telling STS that what they are doing isn't working and a bunch of new players tell them they are wrong ..

Sry but used to play an mmo the maker actually cared about the players regularly came up with new creative events and updates. It was free to play but there was money that players spent but he did not rob any player from events or anything else

[Nick41324]

I don't there is much they can do at this point. Every thing is set in stone and I doubt they will change. What are they going to tell the players who have already spent tons of money on passes?
Happy holiday to you STS.

Your devil's advocate argument is based on the assumption, in my opinion, that something is OK if everyone is doing it. That's not how I define OK. I have to be right with myself for it to be OK. I would hope I'm not the only one.

Agreed, but most of the folks that I put into this category are strong merchs, and players who are this heavily invested have little room to complain, as they are as guilty on the front end as STS is on the back end...

I had not played PL since around Nuri's due to the cash sink through elixers etc. and a lack of personal time. So today I login ready to enjoy the winter festival expecting to pay around 15 plat like last year yet instead I am met by this horrible system. It seems that the cash sinks have began to spread into the seasonal events we all used to love and for me personally it's not feasible to maintain.

[nmyxspaceship]

Ok sts, i understand the all the core content is now free, but for the original players we had to spend the plat so that doesnt make us feel any better.

There are only so many tapjoy offers. Im 14 and i dont have a job yet so my parents are tired of buying me plat, yes sometimes i can sucker them in into giving me 10 dollars for picking up dog crap from the back yard.


Its christmas and i have 3 siblings plus we have to pay for gas to drive all the way across the country.

I know some people still will buy into this and get more plat but its gonna be hard for me to even think about playing over my breakand this time its not only 1 player disagreing with you its hundreds of them.

Still love you sts...

[Swimmingstar]

Yay it's out!

[Epic Unicorns!]

See ya Lowly. You were great. At least we are still friends on Facebook

[Appleisaac]

Im done. You could have just as easily made the access 2plat for 4 hours and not per boss kill and you probably would be making more money.

I am deleting PL and SL right now, goodbye spacetime, maybe i'll come back sometime but right now things look bleak.

Goodbye to all my friends as well, you were all absolutely awesome.

Signing off,
Lowlyspy

:'-( madness...but he is completely right... Everyone got all phyced up for this huge disapointment...

[StompArtist]

How much on average are we expecting the players to spend? This free game is starting to cost more than a XBOX360 game every 2 weeks...

[razerfingers]

This is rediculous they wont refund my plat when i emailed them after i saw the elixir thing and so i logged out i suposedly got "loot" that i dont have so thats kinda lame

[Pharcyde]

Welp.. Happy Holidays STS

I'm out.

[Gaddy]

I just like how the casual games cost the most

it is ironic, isn't it...

Some sort of subscription service would end this sort of controversy altogether.

[xbabybugszx]

Well, STS did a realy good job on loosing great players...

[FluffNStuff]

• RIP Star Wars: Galaxies, you will be deeply missed!

Can we PLEASE get a buffet option to go with the ala carte? Even a ridiculously priced one would be better then clicking 'pay to enter' every time. There HAS to be a solution that is good for STS AND the community, and I really believe the current solution is good for neither.

[Appleisaac]

I really think the death of this game is coming soon :-( I love this game so much :-( noooo

[Zeus]

This is rediculous they wont refund my plat when i emailed them after i saw the elixir thing and so i logged out i suposedly got "loot" that i dont have so thats kinda lame

They wouldn't refund you $0.043?
