Although, I think the fact that you get so many easy slots could easily break early-server PvP, but of course this has yet to be tested.


Well someone with some tolerance for hay collecting could have sea island before the first couple weeks pass, and the difficulties on most shop clothes aren't so great.

Surveys and some industry research show that a typical person picking up a F2P game will often drop a bit of cash into it within the first few days. There's some specific numbers floating around I saw somewhere like gamasutra.com or other industry website. That's why those are there.

No, the devs need to step it up and figure out what they can sell that would attract customers to return to the store.

I'll consider paying for some redcoat things, and even a bit of snuff powder for when I am about to get Cain & able with a few Snake skulls. And the Mystery hats are reasonably priced. I requested that some of the prices be lowered slightly, but I would pay an initial price just to play the game ($20+), or even $5 monthly.
