GO: How 'free-to-play' are Nexon's games, really? Can you play them to completion without spending anything? Do any of your games require payment to complete? DK: Absolutely free. There are no level restrictions or limits on any of our games and you can enjoy playing them as long as you'd like without spending a dime, which applies to the majority of our players. The items provide conveniences, and the ability to personalize and customize your game experience, but are not necessary to fully enjoy the games. As we all know they put some of evan's masterybooks into the cash shop and is currently the only way to get them. This makes a limit on them and the masterybooks are a necessity to play evan and fully enjoy. This compeletly contridicts their statement that they made.

You can enjoy without magic guard or evan skill books. You can customize yourself, but it comes to a cost.

However, I do remember, a looooong time ago, Nexon saying they'd never sell in game items or mesos for NX.

Yes, because everyone wants to create a company where they lose money.

It's "possible" and that means nothing nexon said is "untrue," technically. It's not something they need to prove, but something you need to disprove. and of course, there's just no way to do that.

The problem's not them trying to make money, it's them telling a blatant lie to the public. If they said this game was "free to enjoy for non-Legend classes", there'd be no problem. But the statement implies that you can get any character to Lv200 without ever using NX, which is a flat-out lie due to Evans. [quote] blahs : Make making an Evan is considered a convenience and customization :P [/quote] Then I suppose the game would also be considered "free to enjoy" if you had to pay 50,000 NX for your 1st Job advancement. Because I'm sure you could technically still make Lv200 on a Beginner after a few decades, and character Jobs are now considered "customization".
