    Default F2P Item Mall is very expensive

    Yeah true story
    In rappelz which was the only MMO i get into
    lv30 Fighter i decided it is the the time to buy from the item mall
    but WTF !!
    the piece of armor ((Gloves)) cost 1800 GP
    & the 2000 GP cost 20$
    come to think of it P2P MMORPG are cheaper & better than F2P one
    i mean Come on Guild Wars platinum edition cost 15$
    Wow monthly fee cost 15$
    Now if i want a whole piece of armor i have to pay 100$ ((Helmet , Gloves , boot , etc ))

    Na not all, Runes Of magic has a VERY fair item mall system (From my experience), very cheap stuff to. Also it's not dependant on item mall, so a item malled pvp character isn't always as good as a non item mall one.


    I HATE games where the item mall is crucial to endgame or pvp.

    That was probably R6/7 (120/150) gear which is extremely rare in the game and it can be bought for rupees from other players as well as found as drops. But yeah, the Item Mall is expensive. That's Free MMOs for you.

    I think that Atlantica has one of the worst Cash shops.

    well most games are item mall dependant like gc trickster online. but most gpotato games are exp cause the company wants to make a profit. they forgot all about rappelz cause in flyff $20 can get u alot of stuff.

    In runes of magic if your smart enough u dont need to spend a penny in the game and you can buy from the cash shop.

    How will games earn if they do not give cash shop users advantage over non-cash shop users ? They are not running a freaking charity ya know... I hate it when ppl complain about cash shop, the only thing to incur my wrath is when games sell equips in cash shop...
    i'm not complaing about the advantage
    i'm Complaing about the high price if you compare it with other games (P2P)
    Tell me
    do you want to pay 20$ for gloves that increase your def +5 more than normal
    or pay 20$ with 2x exp , Ressurction potions , Weapon , Special pet Or better pay for P2P MMORPG that are A+ or AAA titles
    because paying 20$ for glove is rip off & who do that who are really stupid or want anything to make them stronger in PVP

    if ya cant afford it, live with it. when ppl are not spending, the company know when to decrease the god damn prices. or just voice out in the official forums. but you should know most of the time, f2p publishers dont give a shiet to the community.

    And those charms which protects equipments from breaking when refining can make u spend hundreds of dollars a month without you actually knowing how much u spent till the bill comes...

    This is one of the reason why I rather play P2P games than F2P because cash shop always imbalance the game.
