Also a bit suspect of the lack of clarity about the GG shop, and that exp pots are in game from launch.
Could the first week maybe be no pots available? Give everyone a chance to grab some levels, get GG from drops before opening the flood gates for the hardcore spenders to run away with the server? First week Exp pots is a bit crazy....people will be smashing lvl 40 bosses while the main pack are hitting level 20.
All well and good saying "play your own game". Problem being its not a single player game and Mir players are not the friendliest lot are they? Great for hardcore, but if you want numbers on your server, having them constantly (and apparently instantly) trodden on by the hardcore doesn't inspire a long stay on the server.

Providing they actually have their content gated correctly, none of this should ever be a problem. These hardcores shouldn't have to care about you. The real problem is when you have so little content that all they have to do is backtrack through old caves, massacreing the "casuals" until they get bored.
This is all a matter of how Apoc handles content and gating where these players go. Nothing to do with how far ahead they get.
By the time levelling starts really slowing down for these people, you'll have already hit a place where you can compete.
So you only have exp pots in the shop so far, yet tonight (server hasnt even started yet) you are allready things like etc etc etc. Sounds pretty P2W to me.

So naive and innocent, Id almost call you cute.
for everyone whos saying the Gshop is p2w clearly knows **** all about p2w, try playing other servers before claiming a server with next to nothing in other than Exp pots is p2w.
its actually sad that most of you complain about something every server has used, if anything they should just say if your aren't happy with it don't play.

Arent you part of the zircon crew, if so how come you are butt sniffing the new server owners? Future job over there maybe? Get releasing a proper patch please instead of posting all the none sense I have seen you posting here in every thread.

I have given clarity several times on the gameshop, i understand there is LOTS to read through to see everything and dont expect anyone to do so, but to say that is just silly :P. We will have exp pots in the shop nothing ground breaking. If to you, thats ground breaking, i totally accept and understand, but we have to cater to the many, who would agree exp pots are not ground breaking at all. They are a time saver for those who want to get the leveling out the way. The people (like Koriban has said) are the hardcores who wont bother with Exp Potions and they will be the highest levels on the server, with or without potions.

Zircon isn't going anywhere, but if you'd like I can stop you playing it. I won't because I'm not sad, but lord almighty you've tempted me with your stupidity.
Reason I post here is because I show interest, because, shock horror, I'm a part of this community. I defend them because people are wailing like it's the end of the world over something that has been in every gameshop (ok sanjian, you're the exception) for the existence of all time. People breed negativity with this type of crap and it's not fair on the owners. At least wait for the server to be UP before you criticise whether the game is pay 2 win or not, christ almighty.

This is hilarious, the amount of people wanting to play the game totally free and have no disadvantages is staggering. Of course there are going to be exp pots, they are the single most consistent way to bring the Devs money, which they deserve for the amount of time that goes into something like this.
Stop being so salty, get a job, put your hand in your pocket and pay a few quid to keep servers going and Devs working, without them the entire community and future servers will vanish.(that goes for the Devs on any server, not just this one).

you say “get the leveling out the way” is this not a low-med rate? I can’t wait to see these “hardcore players” all moaning and slating your server in a months time your server has no content no leveling areas blah blah blah like they always do on every server because they’ve been able geek it from go with exp pots.

It’s not just “a few quid” though is it. With the exception of Jamie’s servers it was a few quid for an hours buff, anyone with a bigger wallet has an advantage over anyone who doesn’t.
Mirs a competitive game where a few levels difference means everything (access to items and skills) which in turn makes a huge difference in PvP. By letting people throw money at the server and level faster thus being stronger as a result is the very definition of P2W.
Had people levelling too slowly been a major issues they could have started people at a higher level or had your character start with an exp buff that degraded as you levelled up giving everyone the same advantage.

So please educate me as to how paying real money to get an advantage in game over those who can’t pay real money or can’t pay as much real money isn’t P2W.
Its the very definition of it, if by paying money you gain any advantage over your fellow players you’ve paid to win. This isn’t WoW with no PvP and no death drops, this is Mir where levels mean everything and being higher level always gives you the edge in PvP.
Exp pots are in game 10-15-30% pots from what was said last night.
You lot expecting a free ride yet if any of you put the time into making a server no doubt you’d have exp pots in yourself. LIKE EVERY OTHER SERVER.

Who asked for a free ride? Read back you’ll see people were in favour of a subscription model and the cash shop being full of cosmetic items?
Hell they could open it for donations where you get nothing back in return, I mean you’ve just openly said you wouldn’t want P2W or a free ride so giving a tenner just for having the server up is a great idea, can we do that instead?
They have there own **** put in place you think they have time to change stuff just for a couple of people? A lot more important checks need done before live.
Gameshop will be fine just like it has every other server, no idea why you feel the need to have a opinion on something every server uses nothing will change so quit moaning like a desperate house wife.

Zircon had/has Permanent Buffs, MirPackage, Comfort potion, Pets roll stat, Horse armor and so on.. All said "Yea!!! Jamie Deserved it!! Let him earn $"
With total buffs from zircon u could easily get 115% exp which is insane. And you guys moaning for 10-15-20% exp potions from Apocalypse GS? Pathetic.

There is nothing wrong with exp pots lol an exp pot is more pay to advance than p2w, If there was a full set of gear and super stat potions behind a paywall then thats classed as p2w. Regardless of all this crying your still gonna all play to shut up and nut up cya in game ( with my exp pots)
