There are 3 types of BETA tests Alpha, Closed Beta and Open Beta. We are currently in Open Beta - Commurcial release.
Games don't go into commurcial release if the devs have the intention to wipe the character information in the game.
What the heck can you get with $3500 in a F2P, I dont know of any game where you can get everything in a chash shop for more than $1000 at the most......They have that much stuff in the shop!

I can tell you that the game is far from F2P. There are peoples who simply max their 20-29 gear(Current cap is 29) of boredom from waiting for the next Level Cap.
You guys are unbelievable... If any game had done this to you, and you had spent just 10-30 bucks, you'd all be making posts everywhere screaming like kids, -how the company is scamming and everyone should stay away.
Here is a guy, who spent 3.5k, just making a post to warn other people, and you start to go on about Scarlet Blade being a bad game?
What the fuck does that have to do with anything..
I've spent 90 bucks on vindicutus over 3 years and I thought I spent a lot.
The real story is that you have yet to discover how google can yield better results than Scarlet Blade for your...needs...and is completely free.

Sorry we're all still shocked that people have spent this much money on such a mediocre game. It boggles the mind. I've spent maybe 150 on world of tanks, 60 + 60 on guild wars 2
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
$3500.00 on a game like Scarlet Blade? Did hyperinflation start, already? There are things I'd spend that much money on, but an MMORPG isn't one of them.

Maybe the lesson is that when thousands of dollars in mere months can be invested into a single video game, that there is something very shady with that company's business model.

If my English is that broken, you might want to take a look at your own typing. It seems like you don't even know that Norway is in the northern part of Europe and not a part of United States. This should be common knowledge even for a 12 year old child.
show me exactly where you said you were from norway, you used usd= you are from us in my book, simple as that,i never claimed my eglish was good, but atleast i dont write in giberish that noone can understand
1. first off i think the OP is full of shit and this is ether a troll, or something of that nature.
2. assumeing its not a troll adn this is legit, im going to say something i avoid saying on these forums, even if i disagree with people and such i try not to do something like this, OP for spending 3.5k on that game you are the biggest moronic idiot i have ever meet in this hobbie, ty you are from the group of people that makes bd games profit.
3. i would like a more detailed explanation of exactly what happend because a few points are unclear, all i know is you spent 3.5k on something and lost it via mail, what did you lose via mail, why where you mailing it, and why did it cost you 3.5k in total, a list of the cost amounts would be nice caus ei still have ALOT of difficulty grasping that numbers, cause ya know that could pay my rent or 3 months or so on a rough guess.
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.
Well.. the only thing you can do is chalk this up to experince... a 20K krone lesson but still something worth to remember. You could try contacting your bank or get a action going on the internet and force them to compensate.
Still... 20K... Oh well it is not worse then people buying premium cigars or beluga caviar...
ok, I might be getting old, but do you actually have to pay to masturbate nowadays?
(I'm just kidding, no offense intended.)
I'm amazed that someone would spend a substantial amount of money on any game, especially Scarlet Blade. I guess we know how they afforded those adverts though.
What's so weird about putting a couple of thousand bucks in a game, if your in the position where you can spend money, why shouldn't you be able to?
Yes sorry it's kinda wierd to me, trust me when I say I have money to spend, but to spend that much on a game defeats the purpose FOR ME as to why I play games. I will pay for a subscription, expansion, DLC and obviously the box or digital purchase if the game is fun enough to me but that's about it I am willing to pay for a game.
Of course what you do with your money is your business but personaly I just find it somewhat wierd that people spend the amount you have spend on a game.
Can somone actually try the game and See if these costs are accurate. Honestly, when Item Mall things go over 100 bucks, Something is wrong. Its practically unbelieveable. So im calling bull until somone with a decent reputation confirms or Deny's this.
Because i can. I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out. Logic every gamers worst enemy.

They're overpricing things madly. You'd have to try pretty hard to spend $10k in their shop but it's possible. I'd still call anyone spending that much money on a game completely crazy. Especially if that game has the quality of Scarlet Blade.
I have to apologize OP, my "eye" glossed over the very apparent USD, because I was stuck on the idea that this had to be another currency.
However, given what you said, If this is the type of money that is/can be spent on this game then they need to "up" their customer service significantly.

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
There are people who spend that kind of money on MMOs, I saw one guy in SWTOR fleet opening cartel packs for one hour straight.
asked him how much he spends in the game and he said about 2.5K Euro in the last 4 months.
I think F2P titles live off 1% of the population spending crazy money in a MMO.
Why not, if he is that rich, who cares -

If Aeria Games doesn't offer you refund, try to do a chargeback.
If that's not possible, contact a lawyer. 3.5k dollars is enough money to sue someone over.
Does this game have the capability to play with only one hand? I mean...you have teenage boys playing this thing. Better have that capability!
Well.. the only thing you can do is chalk this up to experince... a 20K krone lesson but still something worth to remember. You could try contacting your bank or get a action going on the internet and force them to compensate.

This have been a good conversation

20 bucks to play your character naked.

Over 100 dollars for an outfit.

.....i'll show myself out.
I can confirm this.
3 of my guild mates had their characted "removed"
one even was ingame when it happened, was putting stuff in his wh when he could not do it he relogged.
And his char was gone.
And yeah half the stuff in the item mal are "luck" boxes where u have like 0.1% of getting the thing u actualy want.
And there is a 200,- $ as in USD United Stated Dollar Outfit (u gotta be insane to buy it)
I spend like 100,- but moost of the that stuff for upgrading and so. i dont do casino boxes :P
I think this game will be "ENDED" before it actualy comes out o Open Beta.
But hey lets play Neverwinter :P
ok that made me laugh.
I have to apologize OP, my "eye" glossed over the very apparent USD, because I was stuck on the idea that this had to be another currency.

Serph toze kindly has started a walk-through. https://youtu.be/UIelCK-lldo
Yesterday i bought 10 relics and 2 savedust
(1relic ups the change by 5% of success, you can use 4 so that gives me +20% of succes)
(And the savedust keeps your item at +6 if you fail upgrading to 7 else it goes back to 5)
I used them upped my guntlets to +7 10 minutes later "maintenace" logged back in and they done a rolback of an hour.
So my gunts where back at +6 and i lost 1500AP thats about 15$
Still waiting for my ticket.
Now thats aeria games service for u :P
