Its a smart move because people have been crying for wanting this mount for ages. Just the price doesnt fit because last time i tested it didnt really work that well, 6 players or not. But for the 6 player thing 399 or 499 would've been a better price point instead of 599. But they have metrics about it, so if the metrics will say at the end of the day they have sold what they consider enough of these things... the 599 can't be too wrong. We'll only see if it comes again and cheaper in the near future again.
First price ever of the rune disk on the introduction was 569 ... for a fast 1 player mount. And they still sold shitloads of them
And if I remember correctly I pad mine 299 or 399. Don't remember correctly, but it was just another mount I liked to have. Still, price was too high for example for Mr. Pink Hat - so he still uses his Flame...
IMHO, game in this stage should be more affordable, no more expensive, especially with bunch of other games that are now in this market.
Speaking of no-existing marketing and other games, in past month I received bunch of items for other 3 F2P games, couple of XP/TP bonuses, some other items, but NONE from RoM, where I am registered to receive their promotion.
If they are not reaching existing and new players, what chance this game has? If all their marketing is around idea of friend invitation... there is no future in that, especially with latest bans and questionable support resolution...
For those who got mount, enjoy it. IMHO a must if you run flies on multiple characters for secondary class. Don't forget to get kwSpeedUp to get automount function.
