Pfft 3 weeks after F2P, these whiners will just forget that the prices even changed and start spending after being jelly of those who are willing to spend.
Game doesn’t even require TP to be played in the first place.
Trying to actually work with the amount of insatiable people on the forums.
Trying to bring their game overseas so people not in Korea could actually enjoy it.
Trying to, instead of letting a grubby westerner publisher get it, publish and develop the game themselves (Which isn’t an easy task, Neople is a good example on what I want IMC to eventually become.)
But whatever. I’m pretty sure you’ll call anyone who responds to you a white knight, not that it makes you any more credible other than knowing a flame-baiting term.
So you just dismiss his points with the good old “white knight” excuse? That gets old pretty fast.
I asked you to point good decisions made by IMC…
So far none…
You are all defending a company that said…
“Steam will handle the prices”
That lured a lot of non Europe/US players to buy the DLC’s because they tought they would be able to continue buing TP( wich makes the games a lot easier) after the game was F2P…
And now they change the prices making almost unfordable for most players…
You cant undestand how cheated every one feels??
Calculating revenue goes beyond whatever you call this…
This is what you want http://lmgtfy.com/?q=maximum+revenue+formula
Stay in school, kids.
i wanted to buy cus i want TP and potions from pack 1, now i won’t =)
and i don’t plan to spend anything in the game, ever =) i alredy stocked 10 tokens so i probably can play without pay for some years
this decision is just dumb, a lot of ppl bought only the cheapest pack or only pack #1 or #2 and were waiting for the sale to buy all the three packs. now they will buy nothing =)
and the best part, the players will not quit, they will just play f2p, server cost will be the same, but income will not

I don’t even get it, they used the Boleto exploit to explain this change but… They didn’t even have to pay to get the DLC(that’s what made it an exploit), how’s increasing it’s price going to do anything? :c
It’s obvious that they’re going to lose money, any1 that benefited from regional pricing is most likely not buying it anymore, while it didnt change anything for those who pay with U$ or €.

That’s a stupid restriction, since some of the best decisions a company can do for their game are ones based on community feedback. But here:
https://treeofsavior.com/news/?n=377 And it’s slightly more advanced than the usual ‘Report Bot’ function in F2P MMO’s + allows players to build “trust levels” on their account by reporting properly.
There’s your good decision. If you want to try and find an excuse to make that not count, then how about this one:
The game was placed solely on Steam, which allowed everyone to have regional pricing for 3 weeks in the first place.
We made an announcement regarding this issue. Please see the link below

They said steam would handle the prices…why in the hell of hells you think people outside EU/US bought the DLC??
Reginal price is not charity its business and it works…otherwise steam wouldnt be so successfull…
So please stop defending it…There is no excuse for hurting a lot of paying players because of exploiters…
HAHAHAHAH those numbers.
70% of the population
Wow
LOL I find this post very amateurish. the figures specially the [0] was like… 
to me.
kid you know what supply and demand is? the only way you can have a token inside the server is if you buy it using money. (oh don’t argue with me that you can buy it using silver on market, ask yourself how did that token came in in the first place?) somebody will buy it because there is low of supply. and since the supply was low… the demand was high.
so your figures are invalid… it lack the most basic fundamental flaw of economics.
I like that IMC’s post was basically: “Steam adjusts prices according to each regional economy so that the cost is fairer for them, so f*** that, we want more money”.
No their post was the truth.
Why do I need to pay more for TP/Token than other people? They made a good choice of limiting regional pricing to regional servers and not allowing it to be open like it is right now.
“We will be selling them at 50% off instead of the 30% originally planned. The content of the DLC products including the TP amount will not change. Players who have already purchased the DLC products previously will be able to buy the discounted packs as well, since they are treated as new products.”
sounds good to me
Because the average salary for US is obviously higher than that of other countries when you convert those to dollars. Each local economy is balanced so that living costs about the same for everyone (ofc in practice there’s still a huge difference).
Let’s say steam makes it so that everyone pays 5% of the average salary for that country, so that everyone makes the same kind of compromise. It’s an approximation, I know, but it should suffice.
Now if you’re gonna start saying “Americuh numbah 1 who cares 'bout the rest” then I can’t help you there.
I think you guys are up to some psychological scheme on the players with all these screw ups and come backs 1 day after…

I understand how regional pricing works dude. That is not the point
Why should other people pay MORE for LESS? Its not right and this is a better way to handle it.
Don’t pretend that all the people making nothing in those countries are the ones crying about prices here. If you are suffering that bad you should not be complaining about virtual luxuries for an mmo.
Edit - This is why any time an mmo decides to merge SEA or SA servers with for example NA servers it ALWAYS screws up the economy assuming a cash shop is in play.
I’m not too sure about that, remember that everyday foreign exchange fluctuates not to mention that cost of living on different country are not the same.
$50 in some countries is like 1 month rent on a boarding house. while on other countries $50 is like pay for 3hours of work.
why do you think asian went abroad to find jobs? why do you think an Indonesian web dev guy work for less? it’s not that they work for less, it just the cost of living on their country is cheap.
these is why those american web dev are mad out of asian grabbing their online jobs. lolz (americans can’t afford to lower their prices anymore coz they can’t afford to pay their rent and bills if they do)

Nobody said that they’re suffering or w/e. They live just fine, but maybe they’d rather spend that money on something else. Would you have purchased the pack if it cost 100$ instead of 50$? Maybe so, but I’m sure a lot of people would have complained, since it’s overpriced when compared to other offers in which the steam price changes with region.
Now, about the economy, I agree in that there can be some abuse regarding RMTs. For that reason I celebrate the opening of the SA server, and hope they will adjust the prices over there.
