Grassroots consumer advocates exposing scam artists selling games for more than 99¢

[backtothis]

Am I interpreting the info correctly? Is it saying you get three months free just for downloading the game? If that's the case, my interest just went from incredibly high to zero. Not interested in playing another MMORPG with a bunch of idiots. Also, if the iAP are anything more than just cool looking items, then count me completely out. Gameloft should have had at least a $0.99 flat rate to download the game, unless I'm interpreting the price model wrong somehow.

It's 6.99 to download.

Excellent. Thank you for the reply.

[I don't think it's the subscription fee people are up in arms over.

It seems more likely the gold and runes as IAP are the likely culprits. People here are wondering if the game will keep real players out of reach for success, when compared to those who can afford the gold and runes cost.]

That is definitely my biggest set back. I can afford the IAP, but I don't play MMOs for that reason. I want to have to earn the equipment/skills/etc. with others that have the same goal. If people can buy their way to the top, then the get bored with no "end game" content and stop supporting the game. I have no problem with paying a monthly fee for a quality game that is continuously supported, but the decision of additional IAP is baffling to me. I understand the goal for Gameloft is to make all the money they can, however, the current game model completely turns me off.

I wonder how hard it is to get runes... and I only have $20 to spend left on my iTunes giftcard, and this game's initial cost is $7, then $3 for my monthly subscription, then who knows how much more for IAP... I think they should make servers for IAP buyers and non-IAP buyers so that everyone on the same server is equal. Cuz I don't want to play with people who buy there way to the top. What do you guys think?

I dint like or support iap for this game but whatever. I'm not going to skip playing this game because of it. If people want to buy their way up than it's their agenda and I could care less really. Focus on yourself and play and enjoy the game how you want and dont worry so much what others may or may not do and buy. It's Ur game so play it as u wish.
