Lost Ark: Free2Play, shop, currencies

Already the choice of the payment model can make the difference between game I or Game I do not in an online game. How expensive is the access? What advantages do fee-based launch packages offer? What is offered in the Ingame shop? Is there a subscription? And how fair is the offer under the line?

What is fair and what is not, this is rated differently in different countries. That s why the responsible persons at Amazon had announced even a while to make adjustments to the payment model for the western port of Lost Ark. Now the responsible persons have introduced the concrete corner data:

Lost Ark will also be in EU and US Free2play, so you can download and play the Action RPG for free. There will be optional Ingame purchases and pioneer packages and other packages. In the Ingame Shop, there should be a variety of cosmetic objects to customize your characters from head to toe, as well as comforts such as companions that automatically collect, or objects that you can access your warehouse in the field. About Marie s invoice players have access to special, changing offers. There will be a trading post for trade between players.

Lost ARK: Differences at business model Korea versus EU / US

The most important adjustments compared to the Korea version read as follows:

In order for all purchases to feel optional in the game, all players should have the opportunity to acquire all items in the Ingame shop without having to take real money in hand. Most items get you for crystals that you earn you through the exchange of gold in the currency exchange market guided by the players. Items that have no crystal price can be traded over the trading post in the game. This means that all items can be acquired with currencies to be paid in the game (apart from exceptions such as pioneer packages and services such as name changes). The developers have revised the companions. In the original version, players had to rent the additional functions of their companions monthly rent. In the initial phase of the game, such a pet of the epic class will receive free as a quest reward. In the western port, all purchases for companions will be permanent and their functions that had to be used to be released over the advantages through the crystalline aura (see below). Automatic captured remains a standard function of companions, regardless of whether the crystalline aura is active or not. The developers have adjusted the timing in Maris in such a way that the products remain in the store longer (72 hours), so that players have more time to make a purchase decision. The developers have revised the premium service crystalline aura so that he offers fair and optional advantages and to exclude potential pay2win benefits. For example, the increased speed of movement and the combat EP bonus and some internet café benefits added, such as Shipstickets for half price and free triport travel.
