Soul points haven't changed, though, and it still says beta. We might be in for more resets.

My soul points are at 0, and 'in with the bricks' is the only distinction I have available.

Huh. Wasn't that way a few minutes ago. They must have just finished the wipe.

Ok, time to dive back in!

Think its worth it to buy hero mode? Your 'hero days' only go down while you're in a town so if you're between towns on vacation or something it isn't wasted.

I'm in Endurance of the uninvited. It's got some decent people from the looks of it, although no one I recognize.

Here's the hero mode costs converted from their site, rounded up.

1 month = 16 dollars
6 months = 40 dollars
12 months = 63 dollars

I'm going to be joining one just after the attack, which I assume is still at 2300..?

Yeah it's a bit pricey, I'm not sure I'll do a 2nd month but I'm up for trying it out for 30 days.

Doesn't that make it more expensive than most mmos?

Yeah. And it's brutally unforgiving if you don't log into your town for a few days. Not only do you risk dying of dehydration, you're hurting your town by not being active.

The pricing scheme is /horrible/ I'd be willing to at most put in $5 a month for this kind of game. Heck, Wurm you can get for that much can't you, and that's actually a real MMO you can play all day instead of being limited by action points! Ideally something like this would be say, $30 /year

You only pay for playtime. You could pay 15 euros for WoW and not play for the whole month and let the subscription end. In this game, you'd still have 30 days left :) If you for example go on a holiday for a couple of days and let your character die, those couple of days do not count as game time.

It's still expensive for the active player though :P

Heck, if they toned down Hero bonus and made it 5 bucks a month, heck of a lot more players would be heroes.
But, I guess the price scheme is part of their balancing thing.

Demand vs Balance vs Benefits ... Or something like that.

TBH with the benefits I'd still only regularly pay about 5-8 dollars for it. I really doubt I'll continue for a 2nd month, I just wanted to give it a try.
