    "they can hunt for magical creatures like unicorns by following their tracks in the ground"

    That's right hunt 'em! Dem's good eatin'!

    Ok, I'm in, large open world that looks great, can play an elf and it's an exploration game.

    Sure, sell me that $200.00 access pack.

    I can't justify $200 for me to play now, but if it really looks this good in gameplay and the gameplay itself is good I will definitely have to check this out when it releases. the screenshots look beautiful and interesting. makes me really want to explore the world.

    I think that was a joke, I haven't seen any access packs or any such thing as of yet.

    It's actually b2p but you wouldn't know that unless you had done your homework.

    You actually took him seriously lol, I guess this is what the mmo devs of today have actually done to the genra. You expect what the person you quoted said to actually be fact without checking yourself.

    No, it's true, I didn't look into it, personally it wasn't that important to me since I'm going to wait until it releases and decide after that if it's worth the cost of the game or not. And unfortunately, these days, I wouldn't be surprised at anything a dev might ask for early access.

    In the shadows - the obscurity of deception can be missed when the market's veil of power conceals its truth. We've all seen great looking games, but then they add really bad content, NPCs, character design, animations, story etc etc.

    The ones who wait will escape the chains and walk free into the warmth of the next one. But maybe, maybe this is the one to rule them all...

    So is BDO...if you really believe there is much difference between B2P with a cash shop and F2P with a cash shop outside of the former stiffs you for an up front cost.

    Perhaps the past P2W performance of previous Snail games lead him to make this assumption.

    Meh, this is just about player expectations. If players are concerned with things being "amazing/perfect/whatever - fill in the blank" then they shouldn't be looking into games that are advertised like this.

    If players are concerned with cash shops then they should be very patient and wait when it comes to eastern games.

    For me all of this is a non-issue. I don't require anything but a huge open world, a way to grow my character and exploration. At least for a title like this. Cash shops are a non-issue for me.

    People need to know their temperament and know what they can and cannot accept.

    What does it matter? B2P is just F2P with an entry fee.

    It's no better.

    That speaks volumes at how much worse P2P is. They screw you three ways to Tuesday.
    Giggle worth-ily true, since I can't think of a sub game that doesn't have a cash shop of some sort.

    Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

    C'mon, now... Be fair. While most P2P games do choose to use a cash shop, it is not a defining part of the revenue model. P2P for years was extremely profitable in many many games with no cash shop. You know this.

    Plus, it's a bit of a cheap straw man, considering I was talking about F2P Vs B2P and not discussing P2P here at all.

    Regardless of total cost or model, one is paying for entertainment. If the buyer agrees to the price and pays it that's the beginning and end of it unless the seller does not come through on thier side of the bargain.

    This victim playing over a completely optional purchase is interesting.

    I'll wait until I see what the races and gameplay look like before getting hyped. Snail Games has always been good in the graphics department. It's the gameplay systems that they've failed at time and time again.
