So, I'm kind of a long time player in iRO (started back in 2014) and I have realized that WP ended regional prices about 1 year ago.
The thing is, almost every game/company/platform has regional prices. Check steam, for example, when they charge Americans 60USD for a game, they charge brazilians R$ 160, when the conversion ratio is 5 to 1 right now. Why do they do that? It's simple, its better to sell at a lower price than to not sell at all.
If you research, you will see that most brazilians get R$ 1,100 a month, which is around 209 USD. 10k WPE at the moment is exactly R$521.16, meaning that it is HALF of our wage.
For a game that is HEAVILY based in investing money, considering that most gears in meta come from cash shop roulette's, its unreal to charge half of someone's wage for cash items.
Back then, regional prices were applied. We could afford VIP, buy some OCPs and other cash shop items when we had some spare money, now we cant even buy VIP. Does Warpportal not care about Brazilian and other nationalities players? I'm pretty sure that they need players, considering that the game is basically dead, where most players are just vendors/bots/afks. So why try to push your playerbase away?
For those from other nationalities, please support this claim. A MMORPG with no players is no MMO at all. This game needs a bigger playerbase, and not applying regional prices will only kill it faster.
