MagicianTrent Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hello, Maybe its just me, but I think the items in the item mall are overpriced. $10 (1000 points) for an outfit, $5 (500 points) for cosmetics, etc.. I think you need to look at your pricing structure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleRose Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Some stuff seems too high. Wings used to be $3 and gave 90 mspeed, but now they are $12 for a pure cosmetic. I want black angelic and diligence astarot wings, but they aren't in the IM here, so I just won't buy wings. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarFree Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I agree with you those prices are crazy eye contact 500 pts / wax 500 pts and costume by the way just to dress and no benefits? no, thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redinis Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 They will probably add more item mal stuff. Because indeed there is some stuff missing. Also i prefer having a rotation of item than just a 100 page shop. Also the price is the only way the make money. The game is free. Also they and we dont want pay to win. So purely cosmetic is obligatory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I and most people would buy twice as much, if not more, if prices were half their current values. Not saying to cut that much, but a high price is intimidating. With games, the goal is to get the player to make a first purchase. Once they break the seal, they are vastly more likely to keep buying things, especially if prices feel low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some very good points, but considering the amount I do see i game, people don't seem to mind too too much haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayun Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 And how do you expect game to make money? First all complain about "no any p2w", there are many things what is unclear is it p2w or not by majority There are no "quality of life" things either yet, so only way Rednim can get any funding is from costumes now. Most players will never buy anything from IM since its not NEEDED (read: no p2w, no point spending), and ones who buy wont care 3 vs 10 usd. I am not telling p2w is best way, but everything has 2 sides, you cannot just "cut" everything and expect things to remain cheap/same. Servers has cost, developers needs pay, there is lots of cost/expenses included, you cannot expect that game can make enough money from selling dozens of (one time) $3 wings in store and keep game free/open/updated. I know this will "touch" many people emotions now, its delusional to think game can remain free/updated from selling cheap costumes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 the pricing is justifiable and not too intimidating for me. price is just okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeltje Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I would love some things being lower but overal its cheaper then if it would be lucky spin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric4everr Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The price is fine for me, but I’m in Europe. I can imagine it might be too expensive for ppl from other parts of the world where things are cheaper and wages lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric4everr Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I was going to buy an outfit in IM because I want to support the game, but I don’t know how the outfits look.. is there a way to see, besides the super small images in the IM?

If you press and hold down ctrl and right click any item in game, it’ll show you how it would appear on your character in a preview window. Give it a try! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagrant Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 the prices here are SO cheap, go look at ANY other game that offers item mall items. these are insanely cheap prices, if you want the costume support the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phish_ Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) The prices are expensive compared to the past. Like hair dye coupons used to be 50 points vs 500 now. Servant's set used to be 200(?) Points and had ap stats on it, now its 1000. Like the prices of individual items before wasn't that high but there were so many, and especially pay 2 win advantages it made you inclined to buy more. It's definitely good that the item mall is all cosmetic stuff now but yeah... it is a little steep. Edited January 18, 2023 by Phish_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueyama Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) The prices may be higher than they were in ROSE before, but I feel like they are in line with cosmetics from other games or even way cheaper than some and I'm fine with them.

Redinis Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I also fine that the prices are fine compared to a lot of other mmos. Also QOL stuff will come i am sure of that one. Cause we can only buy a finite number of costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric4everr Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Don’t forget we had a lot of inflation the past year(s), you also can’t buy a house now for the same price you could 5-10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcool Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Compared to other servers which I have played most of them over the years the prices are close to being the same. The only exception is the other servers items came with stats to help you level that is the problem with this server which makes the prices to high for the points you are buying.

MagicianTrent Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I don't want any P2W items in the mall either. And get it costs money to run a game an I'll leave it at that. Lets just compare to another game I currently play, ESO. I also pay for ESO+. The costumes I've looked at there range in price from $5 - $12. With most of them in the $5-$7 dollar range. Cosmetically for colors they range in price from $.50 - $2. Mask bundles (4 of them) cost like $5 - $7. I have no issue with spending money to support a product/server. I like lots of the costumes and other things to wear that were and hopefully show up in the item mall here. I spent hundreds and thousands of dollars on premium accounts and a lot of IM outfits, accessories and P2W items when it was NA. To me the prices they set here are high and above my comfort level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 When you have thousands of options, it's best to not make the customer self-conscious over a single purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yap i am tbh gonna limit it to one outfit per character as i simply cant afford it otherwise. For my mage jt would already be 30$ without getting wings x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaux Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 How much USD did you have to pay for points in the past? Does anyone remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBuns Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 1 hour ago, Sneaux said: How much USD did you have to pay for points in the past? Does anyone remember? The same ratio as we have here- 600 points at NA was about $6 USD. 500 Rose points is $5 USD. Remember at NA we also had the Lucky Spin where you could spent tons just trying to get the specific costume parts. Here you can choose and only get the pieces that you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeltje Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I remember at Narose i could add €5 euro and still get 500 now i would need to spend 1.5x as its only in $ would be nice if pricing was localized. Cause currently you spend more depending where you're from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
