    Also had confirmation that they have no intention of looking at the outrageous cost for AO either.

    AAA prices for an abandoned game really is just an insult.

    Don't blame FC, blame the people still willing to pay AAA prices even after FC had announced it had ceased development. Those are the people they are keeping it open for, not those of us screaming for $5 month. Do you really expect FC to turn down what is essentially free money?

    It's not that simple though. At this point if we just stop paying these outrageous prices, instead of lowering the price or changing to another revenue model, FC would just pull the plug permanently.

    In my opinion FC really is the only one to blame for keeping the super greedy subscription AND cash shop model. On top of that the FC item store is the most expensive shop I've encountered in any game. Almost no account wide options and everything costs an arm and a leg. Also pricing for FC points is fully linear. In other games the more coin you buy the less you pay per coin.
    Aeliniyah Opifex Doc | Venkula Solitus Doc | Rohtoiivari Trox Doc | Yutheron Solitus Trader Ianamura NM Crat
    Technigyro Trox Enfo | Gizmoplex Trox Keeper | Icarya Opi MA | Vinetto Opifex Shade | Retku Solitus Engineer
    Geraplex Trox Sold | Tuulispaa Opifex Fixer | Wertion Solitus MP | Kemoplex Trox MA
    And a fleet of other alts...

    Trust me, a lot of people have turned down this game solely because of its pricing. There's only a minority of people that wants to pay these outrageous sub-fees.

    It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;

    It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.
