Rift is not F2P, but it did sell a combo pack of mount and costume items for all characters on your account permanently unlimited use, for ten dollars. That's ten bucks for a mount and costumes unlimited use.
Damn this new cash shop EME's running is so bad. Give us all weapon skins unlimited use in one pack for ten bucks and I'll consider buying it maybe.

Well said!
Rift... huh? It is not F2P and does it even have an item shop?

"Premium Services". Cute.
I remember when paying a monthly subscription fee used to get you a premium service. Now it seems like it only covers permission to play the game as released, extra fluff not included.

Posted about 21 hours ago in Lower weapon skin prices :(
The prices are pretty damn ridiculous. Hell, for ten bucks I got two full-body costumes and a mount in Rift that I can use on all my characters permanently. ...But that's beside the point.
Game's been out for like half a month and they're already trying to do quick cash grabs by selling awesome stuff for real money. The whole point of a subscription-based game is that subscribers are supposed to get all the content without paying extra for it. For completionists and collectors, no obtaining these skins does count as missing out on content. So right now, today, TERA has established a paradigm where you have subscribers, and then you have premium members who pay extra when things are released.
That's pretty terrible, and quite frankly, I expected better practices from a company like EME.

Refer to your own damn name, bro.
*EDIT: it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so stupidly priced, though, honestly. The RIft thing, they charged ten dollars for a mount and costumes, called it a game upgrade, made it a one-time fee and it was they've only done it once so far. If it was $10 for all the weapon skins on unlimited use, it'd be no problem, assuming they never did it again. This, what EME is doing, is blatant micro-transactions. Next there's going to be an in-game cash shop.

Do you guys just like to cry and moan about everything?

If they have names, it's usually a guild quest.

Or what if they decide to make one of the tiers of armor appearance a premium-only thing, and you gotta pay per skin per character just to get that armor skin? I would rage so hard. I think most of us would.
*places "watch for slippery slope" sign*
10 bucks for skins? Ridiculous. If they keep it to just weapon skins..I guess its ok, even though the idea of charge for anything novelty is pretty weak, but if they start charging for the hats,glasses, etc..I I am gonna be pissed.

EME should let warrs queue as tanks. I mean, they're going to soon anyway, and all these Lancers are gonna feel bad, but they should just open that up.

The race-change whatnot etc. is pretty common and par and sure there's nothing wrong with that.
I think TERA, as subscription game, is a bit young for the micro-transactiony vanity items, especially at such a ridiculous price for a one-time use item. Maybe if it was like $10 for all the weapon skins and unlimited use, that'd be fine. But for one of the skins for one character one time?
Whatever. More ways for rich kids to give them money I guess. Tastes bad, though.

Posted about 22 hours ago in TERA Main Questline worth reading?
It's well-translated. Voice-acting's terrible, but the questline and plot itself is pretty interesting. Nothing, like, new to the fantasy genre or anything like that. But it's fun.
