Is upgrading worth it?
Hello everybody! I backed AoC with the "Braver of Worlds" package last year. I just found out that you can upgrade your package if you already bought one.
As the game is slowly picking up steam, and we are drawing ever closer to Q4, I am seriously considering upgrading to "Leader of Men". I am generally extremely frugal, but because i really believe in this game more than any other, I was excited to jump on board and chuck savings at it. One of the main reasons i went with "BoW" is for the life-time sub. Assuming I play the game for along time, and it doesn't die, I will more than recover the cash I spent for the lifetime sub. And by recover, I mean spend less than if I didn't buy it, I know I still spent the cash lol.
But now, more than ever, I am actually falling in love with the concepts and plans of the devs. I am thinking less practically about spending money on it, and more emotionally. SO finally getting to my question, do you guys think that I will regret losing my chance to get the extras in LoM? I really am pumped on most of them, but I am not thinking clearly, 500 bucks is a butt-load of money. What are your guy's thoughts on them?
I bolded the things that I would be really excited about, still not sure if its worth it though.
The first one is honestly the biggest pull for me, as I want my character to be a necromancer.

- If you have Friends who may be interested in playing, but don't want to spend any money on the game due to " reasons™ " ... those Closed Beta Keys will come in handy - as that's how i personally felt about the Higher-Packages ; being generous & buying stuff for your friends
- The Necromancer should be able to convey the uhh ... " Dark-feel " via playstyle - you shouldn't need Skins to help convey that IMHO . Nor do i think its a good reason to buy it tbh. But hey ... " reasons™ "
- Monster Tokens is something that every Player will eventually get ( after defeating a World Boss ) So its nothing "too-grand" about it tbh.
- Guild Perks never really mattered to me - its about the Atmosphere of the Guild imo. But its just appearances
Naming an NPC does sound kinda cool <~< ... but short-livedAs i said in a previous Thread:
I'm just glad to have the Lifetime Sub ... I'm sure that'll be enough
When you think about it, 3 years at $15 a month is already $540. If this game is what it says it will be, than I am looking at a lot longer than 3 years. Plus I never have to worry about canceling or re-subbing. Just stress free play.
I totally agree that in the end, if the game is good, a few extra items arn't going to be make or break. I have also never played an MMO from day one. (Except "Bless Online", which was farther from a "blessing" than anyone could have imagined). So I am actually so pumped to be part of an MMO from day one.
Thank you once again for saving me the stress. In the end we are here to have fun!
Jumping ahead of myself has always ruined the fun. I have to stick to the wisdom of Eragale on this one.
@nagash kicking myself for stepping away from the forums for a few months a missing the Undead items.
Yes. Leader of Men is the draw. A cut above the milk man - Braver of Worlds. Brutal as it seems.
As it should. and only I know why.
Yeeeees. Nagash, we lost you.
This video is more in depth of Monster Tokens, just in case you didn't see it
