We have done a lot to reduce the Pay to Play aspect to make Pox Nora a true Free to Play game. Everything for the most part except for the currently released expansion can be purchased for Gold or crafted with Shards. The few exceptions are with Limited Edition runes and certain limited time available content.

For the most part, paying is optional, it just gets you access to content faster. We do encourage players if they like the game to spend some money on the game from time to time, but that is purely optional.

In regards to PVP there are runes that preform better than others competitively, so if you have the skill to compete at the high tier, but don't have the runes then it may be a challenge. But, as mentioned before we have done a lot to improve the accessibility of runes.

Well at least you admit there's a pay factor. Most of the others try to hide behind wording. I realize you have to make money to keep the servers going but why don't more of these games charge the money where the most money will come? From competitive tournaments.

I used to play foosball growing up but I ALWAYS PAID to enter a tournament. Most times played for free otherwise because other people wanted me on their team I was that good. Used to play two people at once solo. ;) But that is here nor high water. I'd just like to see these free to play be free to play all the way up to tourneys and then ask for money. Charging me for a handful of cards like MtG tried to do back in the 90's just has never cut it with me. Give me all the cards and charge me to play them in a tournament. :))

I know it will never happen but that's just the way I always remembered it.

Charging for tournaments is not as simple as it may seem because then you start running into online gambling laws. There is a reason Tournaments like EVO are held in Las Vegas. Not to say it isn't possible, but that is why many tournaments are run by 3rd party companies that are contracted by the game developer.

oh ok tks. I just redownload this game again tks devs =)
