Hail Avatars, I wonder how you see the latest news of Friday announced that we can now buy gold via the ''add on store'' and more ?

Actually, no, it's not earned super easy unless you simply buy it. It is an extremely rare drop. There are many high level folks who play literally 8 hours a day every day and have never had one drop for them.
I wonder how much further they'll drop the conversion or modify the buffs you get so it's not so icky P2W.
All that britsh had to do is make UO in 3d nothing more less nothing less.. yet he thinks he knows better..
Good luck tho.. but i alreadt scrapped this game from my list due to crappy combat
Pay to win games is the worst of all MMO games. The richer the player is in his real life the easier he will be able to dominate over others not so real life rich players.
Every player should start from the same position at game start, no one should be able to buy them self a head start as we seen players do in this game.
How even fan boys can defend this is nothing but amazing, i guess they have a lot of $ put into the game and they are getting desperate and finally start to understand that their investment is very, very far from solid. High investors in this game will loose a lot of their invested money.
He could have made a UO2 just called it something else and he would be just ok.
Problem with these developers that is making the combat system lack experience in what players prefer.
In UO Garriott had a very talanted developer in Raph Koster and he delivered the best combat system ever seen so far. Chris for example lack in experience and he dont listen to the community, well he say he do but he only listen to the ones that have put in the hi money pledges.
That is also a reason why this game is so incredibly bad today. Had he listened to the experienced old school UO players that knew what makes a PvP system good then this game might have had a chance to succeed, as it is today they have as much chance as a ice cone in hell.
Richard used his name to sucker us into paying for this disaster of a game. There's nothing here that hasn't been done better in other games that aren't pay to win. For fuck's sake, the conversation system they're using is from Ultima 6! And he had the nerve to push it as something new, and hid the highlighted key words in demos to make it seem more dynamic, to make it look as if you had to speak to the NPCs as you would to people, but no. It's the same boring key word system that's been around since what, Ultima 2?
I hope next time he goes into space, he stays there. Greedy swindler.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

More seriously though, games need to stop this p2w crap.
Same model as Guild Wars2 is P2W?? No // B2P? YES!
Pay to Win: Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying.
Buy To Play: Requires a purchase of an account/box to access the game, no further required subscription or purchases are necessary to access the game.

Your posts reek as usual.
What I don't agree with is the current proposal of crowns being the only way to repair your equipment back to max durability, and that things like gathering are made so miserably slow and give such small yields that you almost have to have a potion and/or engraved tool to make gathering bearable. You can spend hours/days/weeks depending on your playtime for whatever type of armor you're trying to craft, just trying to gather enough materials to make one suit of armor and a weapon. The cost of resources to create equipment is absurd right now, given the time you have to gather materials/low yield from nodes/scarcity of places to gather in mass, or the gold coin you'd have to pay someone that's gathered it for you....it's just not worth it. Hopefully, after careful consideration of the concerns, they will remove the crowns from the equation of repairing equipment and leave that to crafters to do as it should be. The game is still in early access so a lot is subject to change for the better as systems are polished and things are added to releases to make things better.
I'm hopeful that this can get worked out and they can fix some of these issues, gathering and resources hasn't had any attention in years to ease up the awful grind that comes with it, so we'll have to see the coming months what changes come for this in the Multiplayer Economic Balance release that was pushed back again. I do know that people are not going to want to spend hours/days/weeks of their playtime purely grinding out gathering for resources, as we do right now, just to make a suit of armor and weapons that will break unless you use a crown on each and every item to keep it, they'll end up just buying the basic armor from an npc vendor and call it a day. I really want to see Sota do well and I'm confident the devs will do what's best in this situation with the crowns. We're still a good ways from release, so I'm sure things will be balanced and corrected for the better. I anxiously and patiently waiting to see the upcoming changes that are coming to make Sota more fun and playable for everyone. I'm excited for July to be here so that there won't be any more wipes and people can play more without fear of just losing everything with wipes as well.

The game is a P2W game in so many areas and this latest idea make it even more P2W. [mod edit]
I'm hanging on and with the game for the long haul, but more nervously now. I still think it needs another year to year and a half to get it to a fun, full fledged game, but am happy to wait to see the end results of completion at the end of the year before I give a review on steam.

The problem is the game itself, they should rename it Estates of the Avatar, whoever has the bigger house wins.
Game has no soul, no purpose, no vision, dated and it's very generic and it doesn't feel like a MMO.
Don't know what Garriot was thinking but whatever it was, he hasn't got it anymore.
Can't agree more .
