Hi folks

 

They got me. All that allegedly free stuff was too tempting, finally making me think: "What the heck, it's only 10 bucks." But all the free stuff doesn't seem so great no more, once you realize how much they charge for the "Additional 2-5 times of purchase". I thought you folks might be interested in what you have to pay once you got the VIP-Status so you can consider for yourselves if it is worth it.

 

Individual Boss-dungeon: 5 extra tries at 20 diamonds per try = 100 diamonds each day

 

Individual-Job-dungeon: 5 extra tries at 50 diamonds per try = 250 diamonds each day

Individual-Exp-dungeon: 2 extra tries at 50 diamonds per try = 100 diamonds each day

 

Lets say you only take the  Job/Exp-dungeon for progress. Each day you are obliged to pay 350 diamonds just to make use of your VIP-Status. So paying 10 bucks a month for being VIP suddenly became 30 times that amount ending at 300 bucks a month for a browser-game.

 

Just my 2 cents. I hope it helps with your decision.

 

Kind regards

They got me too, I thought the extra runs for the dungeons will be free.........

 

The way I look at VIP now is you get +200 stat points and 20% increase in stat points.  

 

This game is expensive as ****

Hi

 

The actual description says: "Additional "x" times of purchase at ..." But it is written in deep purple on a black background making it hard to read compared to the high-contrast words following. I wouldn't want to use the word "scam" here but it is definitely misleading. Anyway I am glad to be of help.

 

Kind regards

I'm definitely not purchasing any more into this game. They got me as well in VIP and almost tempted to invest more if it weren't for the merge. Because now I lag everywhere, and have to turn on Hiding characters and Monsters because even then I lag. every single spot is taken because of server now being crowded. and maps are not large enough.

I am surprised no one upp'd your post. I completely agree. I bought VIP, and sure the free teleport and few free rezzes is nice, but not really worth the money in the long run when really they are just trying to trap you into purchasing more stuff along with it. But lesson learned, I will just let it fall when the time runs out unless they do a haul on VIP and make it more worth it.

Hi

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Actually it would be kinda interesting to know how they will manage to get the SP back (the fixed amount as well as the percentage) once you have spent them all. Maybe some of you have an idea about that issue.

 

Kind regards

I can tell you now, at 117 VIP is incredibly useful.  When I lose VIP status, I lose about 700 stat points.  the 20% accumulates and you don't know the difference till it's gone.  Yes, the fact that you have to pay for the additional dungeons is hard, but they are massive increases.

Thanks! now I have to think twice if i will avail their VIP
