Upkeep was adjusted?

[Keshian]

Play xmasRPG there is no upkeep!
Problem solved!

THIS!!! x10, don't get why anyone even bothers playing the new cRPG, way too much of a grind with upkeep.

The only ones singing the praises of old C-rpg are you nostalgia driven old fools!

Even without upkeep old crpg is 10x more of a grind  Takes far far longer to get equipment in old crpg than in new. The one thing that bugs me about it. I prefer old crpg gameplay, but would only play it if gold/xp intake was increased. Otherwise I will stick to new crpg rather than go through the very painful grind again.

Put it this way, in new crpg I can equip a new character with 20k of equipment in 3 hours of gameplay. After 3 hours of gameplay in old crpg I managed to afford about 800 golds worth of equipment.

Trust me it is not nostalgia.

It certainly isn't nostalgic for me. Old CRPG was a nightmare when it came to balance. I suppose if you were one of the few super stated ultra rich murder machines it was fun. But for most of us it was little more than a peasant rape simulator. OLD C-rpg is what drew me to the game in the first place, but i'd rather sit under a rain of arrows anyday than return to that.

Because some did not have the attitude of a good peasant - sadly, not enough have the stones to withstand withering archer fire, and actually scary warriors to stick it out and become a terror themselves. You know, the feeling when you finally kill 'that guy'...

Same... Meow was not sure why but my Fallen_Xocoyol character is getting hit by repairs despite never retiring nor respeccing and being low level.

Bleh.

Judging from the enormous amount of whine from almost everyone about the new cRPG foam arrow storm which does not hold a candle to old cRPG/Native... I am doubting that more then a dozen people had these "stones," or the majority of cRPG vets have become enormous sissies who have forgotten what range spam really means and don't play enough Native.

I dunno about you guys but I made 8k in half an hour wearing 76,310 gold of armor.

Stop counting loom inflation!
What is the actual price counting base equipment?

Ah, so that's why the prices were awkwardly high: 46,840

[Sir_Ironlake]

46k is quite ok, 8k + in half hour is prolly on the up side of random distribution though

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

I don't know what you all experience about higher upkeep at the moment, but maybe it is now balanced^^

With longbow + bodkins you are always losing money, if not on x3 or higher. So why shouldn't you others as well? :O

I'm only gen 3, before I retired my first time I had all the equipment that I wanted for heavy lancing from a courser.  The most I ever had was 20k, if I ever dropped down under 5k I'd go infantry until I had about 10k and then jump back on my courser with heavy lance, scimitar, knightly heater shield, heraldic mail, mail chausses, and mail gauntlets. 

It's not hard to "upkeep" your equipment, especially after you retire once (I made 100k and still was able to get the heirloomed item I would have loomed anyways).  And I imagine most of the people bitching have retired 10+ times and have basically unlimited money.
