WOW did increase costs, is heavily monetized with micro transactions and thats basically state of the art for mmorpgs right now. The server and development costs are huge for such service games and a company needs to make profits, i don’t say there is no greed involved, but i do understand some of the decisions.

Ohh darn you’re right. I misremembered. Thought it was always 15.

Yeah i also understand you that pushing micro transactions sucks for the players.

It’s honestly crazy how horrifically they monetized RS3. You’re spammed with login notifications for your free gambling opportunities. Idk what it is now but it was squeal of Fortune, then some weird chest opening game you get two keys from or you get them from just playing the game and at random. Met a guy who spent $3600 on getting his skills up. Unfathomable to me

Oh wow, didn’t remember it being that bad. Sounds like its getting close to Diablo Immortals territory…
