    Well of course there will be in-game purchases, how else are you going to get that yellow taxi or police car mounts that every fantasy game needs?

    Yes, this is Elyon. Don't forget this game is made by Bluehole. All the zany stuff in Tera is in this game as well.

    The above is why i dont touch eastern MMO, i am not their audience and it ia gonna be some shallow p2w POS probably.

    Id rather be a dumbass and play starcraft 2 and throw and break shit when i lose.

    they like the term buy to play, but they always have cash shop inside. not much different than f2p model.

    Buy to play could be good model.

    But too often it's just "We can charge box price at release, then make several huge box discounts, then turn the thing into F2P"

    Even successful P2P games like Black Desert just use the box price as excuse for running special campaigns where the game costs nothing but cash shop is still priced the same. Though GW2 is kind of an exception and actually make money through selling boxes and expansions.

    If this game has PVP, you can bet there will be P2W items in the cash shop, There is absolutely no avoiding it. Archeage claimed the same thing when it was in pre-beta.

    ArcheAge was a sub-based game when it originally released. It went F2P shortly thereafter.

    ArcheAge also had some pretty silly stuff in it's "High Fantasy" environment. At least I remember there being racecar races.



    it was high fantasy but it had some techs, plus the race cars was kinda a costly endevor since you had to craft using some rare materials, but of course P2W hit and then fucked the game up, but all in all you would never be crazy to use the cars in combat, and it was useless for cargo
    FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.
