Buying NCcoin means you love the game enough to voluntarily pay for the bandwidth and hardware needed to keep it online and fun for yourself and every other person playing with you.
My name was finalElf. It is now Cook. I play Chronos with the clan Rescue Rangers. I believe in fair play and in this online community of real people playing and interacting together across continents using computers and software as a medium.
Buying coin is not "ebaying". It's contributing.
If botting is the nature of online evil, buying NCcoin is the nature of good. Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" defines the humanity in this truth.
If nobody supports aka buy NCCoins L2 will be shut down.
Pretty simple.
So don't be angry against NCWest/Players that buy Coins and try to understand that NC need to make money to run the game.
@ Belophan
You don't need to, but keep in mind that if noone does, you will have to say bb to L2 here.
I never complained about the 15 bucks a month, but if I want 50% xp for a month its 60 bucks... coin system is great but holy crap it gets too expensive.
As a games developer myself I like supporting games, I've bought NC coin and will again.
However I'm really struggling to find things worth buying. There's very little of use to me and what there is is ridiculously overpriced.
5h rune may be good for some people, but I struggle to find any parties that last over 2h let alone 5. Usually I only get to play 3-4 hours a night anyway... which is still considered a lot.
7 day should be a month, or priced so it'd be worth the same over a month as the old monthly subscription, or just a little more.
As it stands I'd spend a LOT more, but prices and poor items stop me buying.
Only thing ive spent money on the last 2 months are the "my teleport" stuff as thats very useful
Just to bad we still cant use it to get to and from SOA
I had no problem with paying $15 per month before.
However now I feel like the game is going to be tailored to force us to pay money, and pay way more money than what we were paying before.
So I refuse to buy anything on principle. They spite me I spite them right back. Mutually Assured Destruction. 1100 adena BSPSR anyone? Seriously that's how much each BSPSR costs if you try making them. Considering that solo mobs only sometimes drop adena and when they do they only drop between 1,000 and 2,000 well it is quite obvious that you cannot even do so much as grind without making yourself poorer. And what is with everything costing an arm and a leg.
Skill enchants starting at 2 million adena for +1? WTF
Superior Giants Codexes costing 35 million adena from the Olympiad vendor? WTF
And all this when level 85+ mobs actually drop less adena than their level 85- counterparts which we killed using BSPSS that cost about 300 adena instead of 1100 adena.
Anyways everything in the store feels completely overpriced and is mostly worthless junk I have no interest in.
Ye and the tons of gear/wep drops which you can npc doesnt count to bring in some cash... Oh and ye, its soo expensive to get a immortal set :rolleyes:
Hell, even tw gear can be farmed easily w/o much work.
Getting 150 ele on wep is lol easy, getting 3*60 on armor, ye what a pain...
Oh and soa daily is each day a stone (mostly a ele cry) up to a apo weapon.
Ye it is pretty hard to cover ur shots..
Btw lvling an alt to 40 is like 2h and you can choose soo many shots with 0 weight...
Books for skill enchant? Ye the new gcm are like 2,5kk at naia, the superior ones like 1kk
(tho i agree that skill oe is expensive now, but its not rly a must to have +++ skills)
What an unfair hard game l2 is nowadays :rolleyes:
Then leave. I am very thankful that there are people out there who can put a few dollars in to this game to keep it alive and free. I my self hope to support the game as well, after payday. I dont need anything from the NCshop but I would like to give back. At least its a small way to say thanks.
