Totally worth that extra $25 a month.

    As long as you acknowledge the state of the game, you're fine to return and play without being mucho frustration.

    And that implies

    1) P2W is highly encouraged. You don't need it to "win" at gemstone, but this game is not about skill, it's about mechanics, formulas. So the more you enhance your stats or skills, the more you're "stronger". And to achieve such strength in gemstone is tied with p2w UNLESS you're a veteran that can minmax everything (i.e. take a cheap perfect weapon and build it with silvers to become 7x t5 and add weight after and so on).

    2) You got a paradoxe with RP and p2w: The purists crap on scripts that are killing the RP while simu is allowing EVERYTHING to be taken from simustore. Why seek a cleric when you die when you can rub it for 1$. Why seek spells when there's spell up pills. Et cetera.

    3) Veterans Multi-accounts. Why? Self reliance. Why is it important? Cause in the end, you save time and time is money.

    4) 2019 in gaming industry is about time. Time time time. We all know business models are aimed to install rigid wall in gaming and shine that little bypass for a low cost. Gemstone is perfectly aligned with that philosophy being a VERY grinding game.

    5) Point 3 and 4 are perfectly in opposite and are, in my opinion, the reaction of players to Simu'S p2w from a lot of veterans: You want to milk us? Fine, try while I play by my "rules" ---> People sells assets for money, silvers and so on, buy stuff, profit, invest, increase their cash and so on.

    6) As long as players care and do point 5, game is alive. When those key players will stop, the game is DEAD (dead like dragonrealms, just an empty shell).
    You’re just mad that Simu is doing what you want. And what do you want? You want to monetize off of a game.

    Simu should step up its game and shrink the secondary market as much as possible. People like macguyver here would go away and the game would be better for all.

    And FYI - you were still buying/selling in late 2012 according to your PC posts.

    That said, I share some of your views from that time period and had those concerns when I returned to game a few months after a few years break myself. I am pleasantly surprised to find the community in good shape, the game quite active, and the staff more attentive and engaged than I've seen in decades. I feel proud of the game and my involvement in it.

    I really love that one commentor mentioned and others echoed that you can do what you want in Gemstone, make it your own experience. That is absolutely accurate. GSWiki, Towncrier, and Discord have opened up doors to learning tips and tricks for playing that were quite challenging in the past. I'm realizing more than ever how deeply enriching this game can be and the idea of being able to continue learning inspires me to play and immerse all the more.

    I do hope you've taken an opportunity to join the GS community Discord server and engage people who are actively playing. If you're looking for community or have any questions, reach out directly and let's find the right fit for you!

    Best of luck, JaTrRm.

    The PC is one of the few places people can get an honest, straight up answer about the game without Wyrom controlling the narrative. Plenty of people also actively play on PC as well.

    Discord is NOT the place to have any balanced dialogue, again because Simu controls it. Simu also removed balanced feedback from its forum a couple years ago as well.

    This is correct.

    I simply stated a fact.
    The fact is Dreaven routinely offers free spell ups to anyone multiple times a day. He asks for donations but it is not a requirement. During prime time playing, most players can stay spelled up all evening simply because of his free services. As a result, one could argue Dreaven is helping with retention efforts for this game.

    Perhaps if you’d stop bleaching your teeth and trim your eyebrows you’d notice that instead of painting him in the bad light you did.

    OH NO HE'S THINKING ABOUT CHARGING 20K SILVERS FOR A SPELLUP WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE GOING RATE FOR JUST WIZARD SPELLUPS FOR YEARS NOW OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

    Dreaven will still spell anyone up for free regardless, and he does more for the community than most people have in GS history, which is a lot more than just spellups.
