Because it negatively effects everyone by artificially inflating the price of content. You may not be old enough to remember this, but there was a time whe…

Keep in mind the Western game has always received things that Korea has not received in order to cater to our culture of gamers. So some of these changes are not included in these patch notes (I believe there is mor…

The idea that they ain't going to add anything that wont effect gameplay is unrealistic. Adding stuff like dyes and fluff items doesn't seem like enough for people to get into the mag…

Our game is plauged with Bots and Gold sellers, and has the single worst community of any other MMo (Think Xbox live me…

I don't see why anyone would feel so hurt by this news. As long as they don't give out game play advantages in any way, it's perfectly fine.
This is an optional magazine which will undoubtedly have cool info and s…

I am seriously puzzled as to why they are charging for this when other games have done similar things on their websites for free.
Guild Wars used to have a guild of the month posting wi…

I'm sorry but the 'fluff' such as dye should be available in the game, this is is just another way to extract money from their player base. Paying for event items was bad enough. How …

I think thats a good point:
Despite complaints about Stores and the whole 'buying extra's" evidence shows that when such shops open they are hugly successfull !

If you dont like this sort of thing then dont use it. If you feel taken advantage of by the games company then dont play their game. However you people dont speak for everybody and I for one like micro transaction even…
I hate micro transactions more than anything else in this world. But they are here to stay. They cost companies absolutely nothing to produce, ship, and sell. Just a single person buying them essentially represents profit. No amount of angry nerds o…
Ncsoft will ban you for selling kinah or items or your account but then will turn around and sell items to you for real life dollars. The hypocrisy is intolerable. By injecting an infinite amount of consumable items into the game world they are disr…

I really don't see any problem with this, recustomization is cheaper than WoW, sex change I think is similar, and the legion name change isn't bad. These are all things the korean servers have already had, so its …
The emotes are available in game, although in a generally untraveled area of the capital cities, for 10k each. The dyes are pretty much the same as the petals in game as well. The chocolates are aether jellies and the love potions are health potions…

No mention of your own company killing the second most successful mmo series in the west? It's strange. The Lineage is still going strong in Korea, Japan, China, and Russia, but it is dead dead dead in the west. Not supporting your community to the…
If uo was so bad, why does every wow player (and it's clones) want all the features uo had?
I'm talking about player houses, mounts/boats/ships/whatever, pets and complete armor/cloth customization. Go read the dev journal of any mmo out there tod…
