Daybreak has an ingame store where you can purchase things for your character to give you a benefit over the other people in the game.

You can buy time for the game called KRONO, and sell units of this in game for plat/items/ect, and vice versa.

So content is locked for a Quasi-RMT situation and the hardcores are eating it up.

For me, that IS a paywall.
nice 7$ paywall moron

Cool

i don't like paywalls either. i jus want an animated banner that I can monitor for new products and witty marketing while I grind. it be nice if maybe they could introduce short periodic sponsored ads for bathroom breaks and stuff. It help keep players healthy and be a new revenue stream. I honestly don't understand why this not been done yet. the tech is there now.

LMAO yeah, and how long before there is a cease and desist if they want to move into this market?

Not good. And P99 certainly won't be allowed to release a new server, at any point, in light of this. I truly believe there won't be any further permission on future servers. Not without turning the project over to Daybreak and allowing them to monetize it.

Basically, if Daybreak blocked the release of Discord PvP, a temporary niche PvP box, why would we not be heading to a C+D?

Unless the agreement was very clear to allow P99 to exist as it currently does, Rogean could be looking at a sticky situation as Daybreak enters the classic/golden age market.

They might even want PEQ's cleaned DB or P99's DB and/or have already taken it from Rogean. I think that was probably also part of the agreement.

None of this matters unless you're a headcase and you let shit like an in game store bother you. It doesn't trivialize anything. You can buy a months sub or get a Krono on the black market for about 8 bucks, then farm the rest of your Krono with ease like a lot of people do, and never have to pay for a sub after the initial time. I have enough Krono for the next 6 years, and I wasn't even trying.

I dont see the big whoop here. Need some explanation. I played on the newest TLP server, cant remember the name. I was so pumped to replay old EQ. All the things I loved about original EQ were roflstomped out the summabich. Some asshat with 6 mage boxes and his three friends or some shit downed naggy opening weekend.

So we can only have one account per computer. That won't be abused at all from the thousands of neckbeards that will be playing.

What class will everyone roll?

By PoP, basically every class has a pretty useful Raid role, and all of the classes can be used interchangeably in the group setting.

PoP... such incredible game balance.
