    You expected to much in to little time. However please stop to assume everyone has the view on the topic as you. You don't know, nor do you presented any analysis based on research that allow someone to come to this conclusion. Surely the palyerbase will declining, it does for most games however.


    Other then hat there is nothing more to say the: Bye.


    On a side note. I consider GF problem being to big. Startups are normally very flexible compared to big company. I can't tell how often I heard "being as flexible and innovativ as a startup" nowadays...

    Why are you so triggered? He literally sums up the issue SWO has in general. Don't be a little baby who can't accept literal facts. Do you really think this game with literally no content releases in the last 1 1/2 year in Japan will keep MANY people excited over a long period of time? No. That's not how it goes as most western people are getting tired by it a lot faster than hardcore asian grinders.

    Thumb up to the Thread creator, you summed everything up perfectly as I would've done if I actually still cared about the game as much.

    Nobody would invest over 100€ to buy an expensive costume over 5 times just to sell it that way.

    You underestimate what whales are willing to do.


    So long as there's no purchase/sale limits, people will spend thousands to get a major ingame advantage from selling cash items.

    Why would a whale buy 10x the same item (especially hair colour) and swarm the market with it instead of buying multiple different ones to fit the interest of different people? Because for sure many Erwins would be interested to purchase Cinnamon as their haircolour.

    Currently I see many random items (mostly cash shop items) getting put into the shop with the exact same price at the exact same time more than 5 times.
    At this point I'm confident that this isn't a coincidence. Nobody would invest over 100€ to buy an expensive costume over 5 times just to sell it that way. At least I doubt that.

    In the following I will show some examples found on Candus

    On the following page there are 2 more with the same register time and price. Beside that there were also 2 of these Outfits bought today which costed both 9 million:

    Furthermore, there are the Cinnamon colours for Erwin. They used to be sold over 10 times for 590k - 600k. I didn't save the screenshot from them several days ago. Something similar happend to the Erwin hair colour Lilac. Even then there are still many (new) Cinnamon colours for Erwin in the shop now and guess what?

    I don't think that those events are coincidences. It might be either a bug you can abuse in the market or just a typical duplication bug.
    What do you guys think? Is it just a coincidence or is there a bug after all? Did you see similar things in the Market aswell?

    Hi, I'd like to join.

    Currently Lv. 55.


    "1. You should be active (almost) everyday. We want to have fun with our community and raid a lot thus we need active members."

    I am still attending uni(4h~ travel time, monday-tuesday), so I might not be able to make it every single day. Is that a problem?

    That's fine. Being active multiple days a week for several hours is fine for us.
    Feel free to join our discord https://discord.gg/PEvKMMf for joining our guild :3

    Hopefully over time our version of the Client build can align itself more with the Japanese client build in terms of mechanics and gear progression behavior.


    Imagine how bumpy the road must have been for the Japanese client version when it was still being tested and refined, i bet it wasn't fun either back then. :)

    Expecting Gameforge to change it in that way after our cash shop is already this scam.

    COOL_00000.png?width=991&height=170


    Cool is a semi-hardcore guild on the EN Candus Server. Overall, our guild already existed before the launch of the Official Launch in the West. Thus, we were really prepared and ended up being active and successful. Currently we are one of the few level 4 guilds on the EN Server.

    We are looking for a few more lovely & active people. Currently we have 28/35 members.You should be active daily and obviously enjoy the game as we do. You fit to us especially if you plan to play this game longterm as all of us do.
    To join us you should also be above Level 40.


    REQUIREMENTS_00000.png?width=991&height=170


    To join our guild there are a few requirements which should be obvious for a semi-hardcore guild.


    1. You should be active (almost) everyday. We want to have fun with our community and raid a lot thus we need active members.

    2. We prefer people that use discord. Thus it would be cool if you join our discord server.

    3. Also, you should understand jokes and not take them personally. Nobody intends you to harass personally on our discord or in our guild in general. Everyone is friendly and happy to have you here. All of us want to have fun in the game together.


    DISCORD_00000.png?width=991&height=170


    Discord is an easy way to communicate with other guild members. Thus we use beside the ingame guild chat our discord for most things. You can hang out there, talk or chat with other people. Don't be shy, we don't bite :3. Click the link on the picture above to join our Discord Server!
    When you join our discord you'll at first only see two channels until one Admin or I myself will promote you. We'll do that as soon as possible, don't worry about it too much.
    After you officially joined us take a look at the #rules section. It's only basic stuff but should've been read. :3
    We dislike overcensoring our discord. As a result our members are free to use the discord channels as they want. NSFW stuff should still end up in #nsfw channel though.

    Furthermore, you can PM me on Discord (Makabe#5862) or in the Forum if you have further questions. You can aswell join our discord to ask questions there. I hope you are going to join us <3.

    Even if this version is based on the Korean one, that's no excuse. The Korean version failed, the Japanese version didn't. We have the right to request all these benefits. We're beta testers. We have to give feedback to make sure the proper release is as good as it can be. We can't just suck up everything they do.


    I can definitely agree with wanting to make our Soulworker the best game it can be.


    But just out of curiosity, what do you mean in regards to the Korean version of Soulworker? I have not been following Soulworker these past years so i am not aware of whats happened to the other localization's.

    The korean Soul Worker is still alive just like the japanese one. Both are suffering in population though, you could say SoulWorker is barely alive (and on the edge of dieng if its not for the west)

    Our version is based on the Korean one.

    That literally doesn't change anything. The japanese version is based on the korean one aswell. This argument is invalid at it's finest. Just btw... the korean server is almost identical in all the things the thread owner mentioned.

    How about we give a chance to this game? Let's wait for the OPEN BETA to be finished.. and see what happens.

    Do you really think gameforge will lower their cash shop prices, increase the F2P friendliness at this point? A lot of whales are purchasing items and their income is great. Nothing will change unless all the f2p players are quitting and their numbers are significiantly decreasing. Your beliefs are delusional at its best.

    How about we give a chance to this game? Let's wait for the OPEN BETA to be finished.. and see what happens.

    I will be surprised & very happy if something will change in a better way.

    The problem is that people just complain without actually giving suggestions, always comparing to other versions.
    And thats why i wanna wait for the beta to be over, to see if something actually changes.

    Isn't a whole JP server is a suggestion?

    I was talking about the countless complaints thread. You have some good point, but if we get changes they are probably based on KR server

    Yeah sure, they'll change the things they didn't even get from the korean server. To go into more detail: The korean server has the same login rewards, same crafting costs and similar cash shop prices as the japanese version. They were never different thus your arguments are invalid. They made the changes themselves to increase their income upon cash shop introduction.

    That was actually kind of annoying to read as you seem to have no clue about the korean server whatsoever and state incorrect arguments.

    Id say as soon as they bring stats on fashion or other ways to get exclusive stats / buffs on fashion or smething like buffs +10% dmg only available in the shop , thats when i call p2w

    I know that from somewhere :/

    Different countries are getting different amounts of SoulCash upon purchase. I've figured that out because we randomly shared the cash shop prices in our guild.


    Proof:

    German SoulCash purchase:



    Portugese SoulCash purchase:

    How is it fine to get different amounts of ingame money for the same currency (in this case Euro)?
    I hope this will get fixed soon. It feels like a scam for the countries which get way less for the same amount of money.
