✭This may actually save the game. It will bring people unwilling to pay $15 a month back... which can only benefit PvP.
I just hope it's impetus isn't corporate greed, a la squeezing as much as possible from a dying game, and is instead an attempt to keep it going for the player base's sake.
(I suppose it could be both).4 -

PvP is the first to suffer in a F2P/B2P game.
Instead of AP being sold for gold it's going to be farmed harder and sold for Crown. Turning it into P2W.V14 - IMPERIAL NIGHTBLADE - DPS/TANK

V2 - REDGUARD DRAGONKNIGHT - MELEE DPS

Apparently the Crown system will be completely isolated to a players account and can't be traded between players. Matt Firor also stressed that crowns cannot be converted into gold.Pancake Tragedy - Sorcerer1 -

The point is I'm pissed that game mechanics won't allow me to have a high enough proficiency in smithing to be able to convert one form of currency to another.

No, why would I admit to something like that?

lol "willfully oblivious" to something known to be poorly transferred via text.
Type a poorly thought out response... claim it was sarcasm when called on it.

Having 50 in all crafting skills, I also beg to differ.
The reason Tri-Pots sell for 13k a stack is flowers you need to make them go for 150-200 gold.
As soon as I can buy those mats with crowns, then sell the pots I'm essentially turning crowns into gold.
I guess they didn't think this all through very well when they made the "crowns can't get turned into gold" statement.0 -
