(Quote) EME does not have a game development team, nor access to the TERA source code. All the development work is done by BHS in Korea for all regions. Having EME try to hire people to build things that will be compatible with TERA's engine and …

(Quote) Here is my guess, anyway. EME has said before that the way things are sold on the cash shop is within their jurisdiction as publishers, so my guess is that that their thinking/argument was that this was up to them (since these are cash sho…

(Quote) And, furthermore, at this point I think it's long past the point where BHS would be interested in fixing it. (And, besides, I don't think there's an easy way to fix it short of removing the physics, and the physics are one of the main sell…

(Quote) If they were "equals," but they're not. EME's job is to publish TERA in North America on behalf of BHS, and BHS gets the final say. EME does have a seat at the table (which is why they're able to keep working with BHS on an agre…

(Quote) If they had control of the situation, then yes. (That definitely would have been my first choice, and was my first reaction as well.) But consider the politics: BHS in Korea vetoed their proposal for in-game distribution of the dragons (…

(Quote) Trust like that will never be possible because BHS is just not an open company, and EME is essentially their hands and feet. As this dragon situation showed, even things that are supposed to be in their domain (the way to distribute cash sh…

(Quote) I've been arguing for years that they need to implement a failure cap. The tokens in the new dragon boxes are a tiny first step, but they should be the guaranteed item not a random item. At least if people knew that their RNG would eventu…

I wonder if that's just part of the item description from a past time that item was distributed, unless they're going to announce something else soon?

(Quote) Well, people play this game from all over the world, and some people work different shifts. In principle, I don't think this is a bad idea so long as it's biased towards (tends towards) North American prime time.

(Quote) If you read into the politics, that likely wasn't their choice either. BHS approved for them to release the cash shop dragons according to the plan, but rejected the in-game method. In that situation, holding back the cash shop dragons un…

(Quote) As discussed in other threads, if that's the real reason, they don't need to play this game. They could just outright announce "the dragons will be a timed exclusive to the cash shop" and be done with it; people would be annoyed, …
-
(Quote) That's not why, incidentally. Very few "boycotted EME" and "stopped buying EMP" as you can tell from the dragons in-game at the moment. It's just because of gold inflation caused by the lack of a gold sink, and the ove…

I suspect the problems listed are probably related to other issues at the interconnects that have been happening over the last few weeks and not anything specific to FF. But, as a test, you could also create a character on any of the other servers …

(Quote) The issue with the regular ones not being on the store isn't a bug, though -- they are available through the tokens that are a chance item in the lootbox. So the model is: open the lootbox to try for the royal one, or use the tokens to get …
