My co-worker said it basically demotivated him and he's no longer interested in the free-to-play version anymore, so it's working against them.<br /><br />Seems like a good way to screw up the economy, as you said. Particularly funny that EQ2 finally lifted currency caps, though.<br /><br />I think this is another case of a developer being too timid and trying to use free-to-play for the buzzword aspects to gussy up a trial. A shame given that DDO showed how you could do free-to-play well and fairly profitably. They dropped a lot of the gating BS (the dreaded sigils that were gone before I got on) because they realized it just didn't work.<br /><br />Ah, well.Psychochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066038436696697892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-78681121801899693802012-11-26T08:00:02.428-05:002012-11-26T08:00:02.428-05:00@Psychochild: Not a bug, that's the intended c...@Psychochild: Not a bug, that's the intended cap (for people who have spent money, the completely free tier is something like 250K), allegedly to prevent abuse by farmers. Nonsubscribers cannot lift it for any price, but Bioware will hold all your surplus credits in escrow to convince you to subscribe.

I'd like to think that was a bug, but it seems like they're just being overly stringent with the credit cap.Psychochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066038436696697892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-68474895365709520682012-11-26T03:24:53.512-05:002012-11-26T03:24:53.512-05:00My favourite so far has been the artificat item un...My favourite so far has been the artificat item unlock selling for 3 million credits. There is definitely a broken link between the perceived worth vs what people can actually pay for it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091474176868220110noreply@blogger.com
