Before a Free2Play MMO is released, the community is already speculating hotly about how it will be financed. There is also great fear of a Pay2Win title in the community regarding Skyforge. However, publisher My.com is now reassuring the players.
Everyone should have fun
With 5 points, the officials explain how the model of Skyforge is supposed to work. Thus, no one gets a direct advantage over other players when money is invested. Much more, only the own character development can be accelerated. Of course, players who invest money will reach the maximum level faster, but this does not disadvantage other players.
Players can invest money in Skyforge if they want to accelerate their character’s progress and get through the content faster. But never at the expense of others.
Will it be Pay2Win?
It is also promised that one does not have to farm unnecessarily long to advance their character without spending real money. More credits also means more prestige, which comes with faster level advancement. Although credits are also required, which can be purchased with real money, to participate in high-end activities, players who do not pay will still receive credits in sufficient amounts – according to the publisher.
Progress in the Atlas is limited by Sparks. These cannot be purchased and are only available through active gameplay.
We are curious to see how the payment model will ultimately affect the player experience. Previous accusations that Skyforge would become a Pay2Win title were intended to be nipped in the bud by the publisher. They threatened to ban members from forums and revoke their beta access if they made inappropriate Pay2Win accusations. They feared that it could harm the game. This particularly caused a major uproar in the western community. The community manager then retracted the threat and apologized for the statement that was not meant that way – he did not want to censor anyone. With the current news, they probably want to reassure the players a little. In our beta test of Skyforge, we have not yet been able to see any signs of Pay2Win.
