Okay, I'm sick of this.
OOO worked hard to create these missions, weapons, and boss. So all you people think they SHOULDN'T make any money for their work? Be happy with what you have or give $5 over to OOO for all they have done. Ya, I'm talking to all you "proud" F2P players.

There is creating good content.

There is alienating half, possibly more of your playerbase.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

I'm not mad, and leaving because all of this stuff is bad, I'm leaving because it's a PR nightmare for f2p players. This content, if anything is TOO good. People who have payed for these things have a distinct advantage, and that makes someone like me, who is not one of those people, frustrated.

I'm not gone forever, but it's going to take a LOT to get us back. Either they do something about this [unlikely], or they do something that is so amazing that it literally undoes this in my mind [possible, but I'm not betting on it being free!]

OOO appreciation....pfft.
The only thing about OOO that there is to appreciate is their wonderful attitude and helpfulness. (Atalanta, Eurydice, Nick, and many others).
I'm not sure what is going on with them (budget, greediness, SEGA influence, etc.) that made them make such a cheap Update, but that's what didn't deserve appreciation at all, regardless of the content. If this continues, the game will fall apart, and Sega will ditch it once it stops generating revenue.
It's all about the money.

Erm....who are you talking to?

Everyone thinks that they could do better though. And why not better? OOO has made a pretty awesome game. I admit that they should rake in some moolah, but still their hyper-inflation business is killing the game. I love the updates, but OOO needs to understand that not a lot of people are ready to dish out their wallets and blow money. They cater to much to the top P2P people, so why not give the other P2P people some love? I remember when this game started: I was pulled in by the graphics, the gameplay. But sadly, SK has degenerated quite a bit into a P2P trap. Please remedy this OOO. Restore this game to it's former glory.

Zephyrgon sums it perfectly get money or get thr f out of the game.
who cares if u are poor or underaged ... u dont deserve to play F2P
on another note i migth leave too XD even if no one cares.

Thank you OOO, best update so far since shadow lairs ;)

Amazingly implemented, the only thing I would change is the new items being only for P2P players. That is quite unbalanced.

But either way, I am extremely happy. If anyone is complaining about this being "greedy," remind them that they probably bought a candy bar or two for 4 bucks. 2 candy bars, new SK content which is awesome. New SK content which is awesome, 2 candy bars.

I am going to go with new SK content.

Don't cry over spilled milk -> don't cry over 2 candy bars.

This is mainly in response to Slayzz "other things to spend money on"

Not the "Restrictions"

@Zeph: Looking around, I see more p2p players leaving/ranting than f2p. You are the opposite, ranting about how you deserve "awesome updates and stuff".

@Both Zeph and Az: I was thinking of pumping a little money into OOO, but if it means I'll turn into someone like you... then I'm forever going to stay a f2p player

But, on the other hand...
the new content looks great!

After several revisions I can settle on this:

The game is still free to play. I think it could still be labeled as such. Having DLC doesn't mean suddenly only paying customers can log on. I like the idea of purchasable missions, I agree there is a rather lot in these, and I agree the missions should be stripped down, limited and released as 'CE missions' sometime later.

Overall, I still like OOO, and I think they know what their doing. Even if it is unpopular.

well i hoped the "i migth quit" at the end whoud made people notice the obious im trolly this was sarcasm but i failed
i intended to imply that i am poor and underaged so no expansion for me.

I'm loving the update; it's very well done and after doing just one board (waiting on my husband to get off work to do the rest of the mission), I'm as impressed and excited for the rest of it as I was upon seeing the promo picture yesterday. Even the music is amazing.

On the other hand, I do have to say that it would be nice if the mission rewards were able to be unbound and sold, if the player so chooses (am I going to use these bombs? Nope!), or if the expansion could at least be gifted, (although being able to buy it for CE would be nice as well, since even some p2p players may have already spend their cash allotment on CE for the time being and would be unable to buy it at the moment, and many of the f2p players who are active enough to afford to trade crowns for that much CE are the backbone of the community).

I appreciate and encourage OOO making money for their hard work (I would have happily paid $20 for the expansion myself, as I have more disposable income than many of the younger players here), but it's fairly obvious that they are actually alienating part of their userbase. It's easier to convert f2p users into p2p users as they get older or their situations otherwise change than it is to encourage new players to join as p2p to begin with, and that should really be taken into account when trying to balance exclusivity of certain features vs the needs of the community.

I actually love the update. $4 wasn't that much to offer for this, in the first place. A bunch of other MMOs make players pay for some stuff, but after a while, the stuff offered on the quest will appear on the AH, only leaving the boss experience away from F2P. And... that's about it. I love the boss. I love the items (so worth $4 for 9 items, 3 of which are 5*). I just hope that OOO can reach to F2P with this somehow, not killing their profit either.
