The family system is incredibly useful and grants a sense of community which in-turn helps keep players invested. I don't see them taking it out personally. But on the flipside keeping it in allows what I posted above.Originally Posted by SFRSinder

Quick fast, everyone with an enoan willing to start over - raise your hands.
Gamigo stated "only cosmetics" would be available on the cash shop, no tax no labor pots or p2w items.
You can only get your farm 8x8 at level 30 and that means both main and alts needs to level.
Are you slower than 1 guy controlling 20 alts?
The first 16x16 cottage you get is after the farm cart quest where most likely no one will be able to complete without mats and gold especially for someone with 20 alts in a fresh start server where everyone starts with ZERO labor.
Any item than can be purchased on the marketplace that doesn't bind to the character or can be gifted is a way to get ahead selling it on the auction house or brokering it with the marketplace gift system.
Hell BoE costumes can be used to sell costume skins on the AH. There is no escaping that fact without making huge sweeping changes to the game making it more like Black Desert in the no Player To Player trade and making everything you get bound/unable to be skinned. Gamigo/XL can make all the promises they want but until marketplace credits can only be used on yourself people will be able to buy gold with credits.
Can they make it less pay to win yes of course , but they cant get rid of it entirely with what little info we have.
Hell I hope these conversations give them ideas to change things they might have missed to make the server better for the people that play there wether I play on that server or not.

A player that makes 100g a day will have almost the same GS then a player with 1000g a day, it all about how many infusions you farm and how much labor you have to use them. Without labor pots the gold will not be that relevant
And the person that can afford to use all their infusions if they farm an equal amount wins. Also Library Gear would like to have a word with you where more gold=faster progression.
Look I know you are trying to defend the new server because you believe in it. I just want both XL/Gamigo to realize all the loopholes and people planning to go to that server to make informed decisions based on experience.
I love this game. It has given me more enjoyment than any other MMO I have played in the last 10 years. But If they open another server that tears the population in half only to pull the rug out from underneath the people that go there like every fresh start that has come and gone, it wont recover this time.

That's something that XL has sole control of, so it won't be changed.
I refuse a $20 pack for buy to play really. Archeage is not a cheap/worthless game. It should be minimum a $50 pack to get in.
Anyone remember how much were the buy to play version of Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World mmorpgs at their release times years ago? thank you. I don't remember that they were $20 for sure which it was more than that; but why Gamigo puts a low price like that which again there will be tons of multi*account alts...
Among the guilds a time where
the Elven-kings under the sky,
where Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
where Mortal Men doomed to die,
the Ferre in the wilds and Warborn
lived in harmony In the Land of Nui but,
The One Guild was only for
the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Nui where the Shadows lie.
One Guild to rule them all,
One Guild to find them,
One Guild to bring them all and in the darkness bind them in the Land of Nui where the Shadows lie.
I wonder how they will pay servers, devs, mods and so on from 20$ +10$ season pass. Lets say 10.000 people buy, thats just 300.000 $ include tax. A big part of it goes for sure to XLGames, so Gamgio maybe keep 150.000 $ ? But 1 real developer is for sure 70.000 per year, maybe moderators and CM's are a bit less but I worry more that we won't have many Game Masters that will be able to keep an eye on the server...
There will be an in-game cash shop, vanity only (cosmetics), that's how they'll make most of the money I guess.
