@Volkolam But it being posted in the shop would be nice.

The reason it doesn't get posted in the shops is because, like google, the actual currency conversion is always dynamically changing, and they don't want a potential player opening up a shop window, leaving it open for 3 days, then deciding to purchase, and getting upset because the currency rate has changed on them again. This is why the final currency conversion is done at checkout only. Until checkout, the rates are only theoretical, afterall. You can't lock in a rate by simply keeping a purchase window open.

I disagree with this: - well parts to it. As a customer, the customer journey should be as simple and as painless as possible. if you have committed to a purchase and then, as the journey progresses, the price starts to creep up, it is very disheartening and ends in no sale.

Appreciating the technical difficulties in this, it is not completely unfeasible. I have similar issues when I am purchasing stuff from USA; TAX, Conversion fees - Simply allow them to buy with their native currency and remove the block?

It is then the merchant that converts rather than the customer.

@PeachMcD That sounds awesome!

Do you enjoy playing the Alphas?

Whats the first thing you all wanna do on release?

Guys,

I am on the fence as to 'when' to buy this game - I understand its alpha, I understand that it will only be live for a month or so.

Realstically though, is there anything to actually play at all? or is it a oohh. "this is a cool feature, see you next month" kinda thing?

I wanna pvp, trade, build, checkout the world. Will i get able to any / some of that?

wouldnt it be better to make a poll, so the results can be tracked?

I fear that our option has very little impact on the availability of the functionality. Yes, there is some influence, but the main deciding factor is certainly what the developers can get done by that time. Remember, it's a 'nice to have, if things work out just fine' and sadly, in programming and especially game development, things working 'just fine' is more of an ultra rare

I hear ya! I build webapps myself so I know the pain

Just seems that there wasnt a clear winner, would be good to 'visualise' the results - like you say, its likely the devs will grap the low hanging fruit regardless.

I'm a cat, in a sack

seriously, whats the point in this thread?

Nutcase! (more than one word is needed to save this post)

Me too! its been awhile since i've been on the hype train!

See you in game

We get the play the Alpha, you get some in game currency and a month or 2 of VIP unless you go for the big bollocks package.

Worth it, as the added extras mean that you're not really paying any more.

Theres a daily message mission? what is this? I post daily and I get what? free items? a character boost?

feed me!

Hey Guys!,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@muker your article was very helpful, thank you!

Looking fowarding to killi... er, playing with you all

Hey Guys,

I've just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.

As of yet, i've not bought the game; am I right in understanding I can't actually play anyway? there is just access to the alpha tests when they happen?

if so, shame! I've been getting excited about this game for the last 2 days! haha!

Anyway, I shall stick around the forums for a bit and see whats going on!

Nice to meet you all!
