Not everyone will go for such items. However, if you can add them to your game in a way that doesn't offend the bulk of your player base you'd be foolish not to. Otherwise, you are leaving money on the table.<br /><br />It is a slippery slope, however. It will be interesting to see what happens if and when when the quality and item shop options of FtP and sub based MMOs converge. I suspect a lot of players of sub based MMOs will start to wonder why they have to pay for a client and server access. If sub based MMO developers keep pushing in their current direction, they may find they have lodged a bullet in their foot.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874292657832107033.post-22697239432126876792010-05-20T13:28:46.480-07:002010-05-20T13:28:46.480-07:00The new price point has been set.

Never going to spend a dime on such an item, but I'm sure there are people who are more than happy to reach for the credit card.<br /><br />Now if we were talking unique costume items, I might be in trouble.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874292657832107033.post-22175599606057145502010-05-20T12:16:00.967-07:002010-05-20T12:16:00.967-07:00It was only a matter of time before someone else t...It was only a matter of time before someone else tried to followup on Blizzard's success. The really interesting thing will be to see how well/poorly this one does and if anyone else follows suit.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.com
