How long has this version of tales of pirate been out for?
Also can you purchase all in game item mall items from other players with in-game currency? basically is this a pure pay to win mmorpg. Thanks :)
 
Ah thanks for the response. Ya i have no problem spending money but the reason I want to know if the game supports casual players is because games tend to die really quick if people who pay have an unfair advantage. So id rather find out before I spend anything. The second part to my question was, are all the items that are available in the item mall purchasable from other players stalls? Alot of games if mall items are able to be bought between players, those players who want to make gold quick buy a lot more from the item mall and charge an arm and a leg for it in their stalls. This is great the company makes more money, there are more casual players playin making it more fun for mallers, the mallers make gold and the new players don't feel like they have to spend money to get ahead. i know you guys arent aiming at those people who spend nothing but they usually make a big chunk of the mmorpg population. Pay to win games lose out on the social aspect of gaming which is what retains mallers for the long run.
 
Here comes Zankza with the "icing of the cake" theory again... just wait :D
 
based on his other posts it seems he understands the importance of the social aspect. As he is pretty big on the, add a friend to get an additional char slot. Ok ill give you an example of a game that has been running for 15 years is still doing great. Its called torn city. literally anything a person buys for real $$$ can be bought of of him for in game currency. The guy tried to make the items from item malls untradable and found out that the amount of money he made was actually less. Turns out the reason they were making money was because the few who actually bought things bought alot just to trade it.
 
mmorpg is still a business so they still follow the 20/80 rule where 20% is about 80% of the business. The remaining 80% that accounts for 20% of the business provides intangible benefits.
 
Thanks for your concerns in regards of how business should be operated. If you have any more concerns please private message me instead.
