Post by ShenanigunnerAnyone else looking into this? I'm DLing the update now and have to go dust
off my accounts.
Hello, hello, is this thing on? One, two, one two?
I was skeptical, but I have turned around. As a paying customer I have
lost nothing and gained a new server. And the two least played
accounts I have let lapse to premium - they keep their existing
rewards and some characters of their choice. (The rest are
mothballed.) So far I am saving money on this, but the hunger for
extra enhancement storage is growing...
Virtue and Freedom are still red in the nights, despite the hardware
upgrade, but there is very little serverside lag. So it seems they
have made a good guess as to how many people would come. In truth, it
seems to me that most of the population growth after the release was
returnees rather than newbies. I have no idea how many are going to
stay, though. It is still basically the same game after all, and those
who got bored after a while are going to get bored again. Those who
just couldn't afford it may well hang around longer. I have no idea
how many that is, but I hear times are still hard over in America. So
in that regard it was a timely move.
