Read this about airdrops. Any truth to this? Holy shit...

john Smedley Mentioned to PC gamer that the market will be for cosmetics, not for in game advantage. : h1z1
Airdrops =/= Crates. Airdrops will provide survivors with ammunition, food, water, weapons and other supplies. 14-8-2014. : h1z1
Demeanter comments on CohhCarnage h1z1 not pay to win breakdown
This is NOT a survival game : h1z1
Dear Smed (and the airdrop department), : h1z1
Airdrops. Devs please read : h1z1

Well, it's Alpha and I'm guessing they didn't change some stuff (forgetting to change or not knowing how people will react). They fixed the issue with the drop location today. It's alot broader than what it was yesterday. A package had 50 players trying to fight over the loot about 15 minutes ago unlike last night where no one could log in.


edit: I should add that when you call in an aircrate you have a very low chance to get the rewards. here's a youtube video explaining why people got angry and why they shouldn't be angry. It's easy to look from the outside without playing the game and have pitchforks up. http://youtu.be/y6iqTgZIZHY

Heard they've been assholes with EQNext players who need to pay to maintain their presence...

Does look quite good tho

EQ Next is supposed to be F2P as well and if they try this whole "Pay to Win" stuff I won't be playing it.

They will. PS2 is noticeable in terms of who's paying to win... and guess what? Servers are shrinking [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

their business motto is "free to play, your way". There is nothing wrong about being able to play a game for free and deciding when to spend money. It worked for guild wars 2, it's working for the original EQ. Let people get hooked to a game and allow them to make their money back by buying items.

I know, it just bums me out that game makers have chosen quick cash-ins in favor of long-term community building. But like you said, F2P is the new monetization model, and it's probably not going away anytime soon.

After spending a few years on MMORPG's site I really feel like gamers are what hinders community building, aside from quality of games of course. The norm appears to be moving between games with every new release, and never playing anything longer than a couple months. At least for those people who actually post on those toxic boards.

I hate cash shops too, probably half the reason I haven't found a real home since I left original EQ.
