So wait does everyone get the expansion for free?

[Rager]

Just wondering because I've not played in a long time day 1 player here. So this would make me come back and try the game.

[PityClassy]

if its a new account than yes, if you own the game before you will have to buy it

No you still have to buy the 30 dollar DLC.

What does this even mean? A new account is 60 bucks so no you don't get it for free. Its 30 for previous owners.

If you bought New World when it launched several years ago, you'll have to buy the expansion now to get the mount. I bought NW when it first came out. I had to purchase the expansion two weeks ago.

Hey, but if you already owned the base game + DLC (Rise of the Angry Earth) you get the update free

[Rager]

Ah ok, I want to come back and try things, but not without mounts and not willing to spend money on this when I feel like the base game itself did not have enough for me. I don't want to pay extra.

Thanks all for the info.

If 30 dollars is too big of paywall I suggest you find a job instead of playing games. People are spending 15$ a month on a subscription almost every month on other MMOs usually paying for things that should be free like bag size etc. One time, 30 dollars, 3 years of game launch...

It is not about the amount, It is what I am willing to pay. I'm not sure why you had to bring up this.

I would feel the same way about other MMORPG that had the issues this game had, and the bs I went through with patches, and the chat issues. Basic things being left out.

The amount is not the issue, it is about how this game was managed, and if they gave the expansion for free to everyone, that would have went a long way to say. Hey we messed up, and we got better, here is expansion to try and see all the new changes.

They expect us to pay money to get the full view of the game, and I think that shows the quality of this game is still not at a point that it is worth coming back.


That is just me, and that is not for everyone. Part of me is willing to give it another chance, but I went through a ton of BS with this game. Getting banned, to find out it was a error, support after a week fix my account but had to delete my character it seems. Because I used the AH (This was a month after game came out.). All the issues this game had that was not server issue for me.


That 30 dollars has not been earned from me.

They already did that with Brimstone Sands which was a decently sized expansion. At what point are they allowed to start making money again according to you? Are they supposed to give everything for free for 10 years just because they messed up in the beginning (like literally 9 out of 10 games are bland messes at release)?

[Rager]

I looked up Brimstone, and it is a normal mmo content update. It was not that big of a deal.


Also to answer your second question. When can they make money? When it is agree on that they have a good foundation, and understand all the pain and trouble people went through at the start.

This was not just normal mess up they did. Also a feature that players wanted at the start of this game is behind a paywall. To me giving the expansion for free give people a bonus for getting it, and letting players come back to the game. Build up from it would be the best and smart choice for the company.


That is my two cents anyway. The box sells of a mmo means very little, with season passes, store shop all that. having a larger player base in the long run can more than make up for the box cost. If the game was in a good state to keep players.

What? It was that big of a deal. I would have paid for it. Unreal.

[Bordric]

Yeah I don't even use mounts that often, more of a hindrance most times jumping off to gather stuff. Far more than just those.

People don't have the same value on things. That is normal. Happy you would, but Gw2 has gave me free updates adding whole new zones. *Shrugs* if it is a big deal for you cool.
