1can i have a time frame in which this will go commercial?

-it sucked when i started ragnarok and only 9 days later it announced a p2p plan...


2also with this being a beta game and all, will there be major revisions that will cause players to lose their character they used and start over again?



3will are characters start from scratch when this goes commercial?

i think you took the hint wrong then because the devs have always said that this game will always be free

If someone stated that this game will not be free forever he was A) totally wrong B) not a developer C) misunderstood.

It takes two seconds to mix up a new character, so what\'s the big deal??

if it is loosing all your crystals, then go find some new ones... giving up this game on the account of something that stupid would be your own loss....

Maybe the devs could just ponder up a system that would let you revamp your character (race, stats and skills), but you\'d still keep your inventory and guild membership.  ?(

The crystal hunt was only intended to give people something to do in MB.  It will almost certainly not be a part of future releases.

OTOH, player accounts will almost certainly be wiped at least a couple more times.  This game isn\'t even to the alpha stage yet and people are surprised at this?  We change the database structure on almost a daily basis.

If you don\'t want to put in the time because of this, that\'s ok.

We will make sure the names that have been used a lot are reserved, but I doubt we\'ll save all 35,000 of them.
