Premium Currency to be Introduced in Early 2018 - Crowfall - MMORPG.com
Crowfall News - The latest Founders' Update has been published on the Crowfall site to provide folks with a bit more information about the forthcoming introduction of the game's premium currency. Called "Crowns", the currency will be available starting at $5 for 500 Crowns and discounts for larger purchases. These funds can be used in the in-game shop, with no item costing over $200. All items currently at the $200+ mark will be retired at the end of 2017.

"How will ACE prevent the guild leaders from embezzling the funds in the guild wallet?
The guild wallet is owned by the guild leader, and they can't embezzle what they own. To be clear: the contents of the guild wallet are considered to be owned by the guild leader.
Be careful who you trust."

Yeah , until they add more shit to it.. look man , they made over 2.5mil+ so far and they are charging 50$ upfront for a game that has a cashshop ( u are not in power of what they place in there be it now or 6 months from now so don't bring that bs excuse *just cosmetics* , they all start whit JUST COSMETICS! pinky swear!
The date for Early Bird Guild Rewards program looks like it's wrong, it can't be identical to date for Earliest Bird Guild Rewards program.
It looks like the mistake is on Crowfall's website.
I'm just saying they're not pointing a gun, to people's heads saying you must buy the crowns to play. Also did i did not say just cosmetics, in my original post.
This is not helped by the fact that MMORPG cash shops almost always move beyond cosmetics eventually (not to be confused with MOBA cash shops, where fair play is tantamount to having any sort of customer base). Unless they manage to pull a Path of Exile but I doubt that will happen.
I liked the sound of this game but all I see is cash shop crap everywhere, not saying its going to be bad cause I like the way it sounds but the signs for me are pointed straight to run away.
For me it all depends on what they are selling in the cash shop that can make or break the game. I would rather have it b2p with optional cash shop that sells cosmetic items and fluff than a monthly sub. Unless your a game with a huge IP the monthly sub is really hard to be successful with.
People tend to be less patient with you when they are having to fork out a monthly fee, where as with a cash shop they still play the game but just threaten to not spend anything in the shop.
Right now I am still looking forward to this one when it launches. I would normally buy into it just now but im on a boycott of buying into games early as the last few either went belly up or were a disaster on launch.
Now all they desire is some extra cash so they can keep going. Give it i say! What is 200 bucks in today's standards? Milk,bread and coffee, just that so you can support your favorite game, the one you're playing for hours and hours everyday. I say it deserves it.
Also before i forget, i am in the process of making a guild, anyone who holds a normal job and wants to contribute crowns daily please stay in contact. I will wear a bikini in every guild meeting.

People were crying about the EA's BF2 loot boxes and yet, we see a ... 7000$ "palace" in this game.
Well deserved I guess. As long as some players want that ..."palace" , we will all see this kind of games popping up ..and in the end , nothing will change.
So ..
STOP GIVING MONEY TO SHITTY COMPANIES !!
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
I am playing it on and off since Legion started , and I am having a blast. There is no other MMO which can come close to WoW in ALL terms.
Plus, as you said , with "no bullshit subscription model" . 15$ a month and you get it FULL.
On a side note .. let's take a moment and let's imagine a world without Blizzard.
.... exactly !

That said... hiding costs behind "crowns" is lame.
