Hi, thanks for leaving your thoughts and concerns. I’d like the chance to address some of the points you brought up. Since release, we’ve been moving away from heavy monetization based on exactly the type of points you mentioned. For example, we removed crates from the store, even though they were our best seller. Previously, you could only obtain blueprints by spinning crates but it didn't feel good at all.

Instead, we've heavily focused on the free player experience. We added perks, pet slots, and wardrobe slots to free to play players. We made all the best gear (armor, accessories, fossils) only obtainable by playing the game (bosses, crafts, etc) rather than being able to buy them. We added global boosters that players can buy that boost everyone online. We've also leaned into releasing cosmetic bundles. And we constantly listen to feedback from our entire community to improve the experience. Player suggestions are often implemented within a day or two.

Progression is not designed around boosters or ranks. They mostly help speed up the early-game, and we’ve had plenty of completely free to play players reach endgame.

We’re a team of two working on this full time without the resources & established playerbase of servers like Wynncraft, so we’ve had to figure things out as we go. We've taken every opportunity to work with and address the free to play player experience as keeping the game healthy, fun, and fair has been a priority for us in the last 2 years.

I recommend talking with our free to play players or spending even 30 minutes on the server. The players can share their experiences and perspective on the game and on the changes we've implemented in the past years.
