Intrepid Studios ran an amazingly successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017. They raised over $3.1 million and today remain the most successful KS campaign to date. One of the major concerns that the overall MMORPG community voices about Ashes of Creation is the overpriced monthly founder’s pack, the pay wall that prevents individuals from purchasing individual cosmetics, and the FOMO monthly skins.

At this point, I’m hoping that Intrepid either stops selling monthly cosmetics, or they make it so anyone can buy individual cosmetics without having to put down on the larger pack prices. For a game that has a low barrier to entry, I’m very confused why they keep this high barrier to entry for supporting the game.

As mentioned in the Livestream the new PGN Music Spotify is here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qZWTa2bhoPr2AOsANBazT?si=x6ieaWH8S02EmGX6HW6rbQ
