    Did YNK give a crap? No. They made lots of money in those 6 hours of sales.

    Players complained so what did YBK do about a year later? They released Upgrades swelling one part per week over 4 weeks. Then stopped.
    EM picked up a bit as partial and full upgrades were selling for any price. People paid as much as 150,000 RPS to get theor hands on one. Why? Because it made them OP as hell.
    People got pizzed off and left. Did YNK give a crap? No. They made tons of money - for a while. Then things started getting tight so...

    6-8 months later another upgrade sale. Supposed to be 4 parts over 4 weeks again. 3 parts sold then they stopped. Players waited and waited, begged, cried and raged but no 4th part was forthcoming. Ever. Lots of 2 and 3 part upgrades went into EM for slightly less than the cost of of of the original epics.

    More players rage-quitted. What did YNK do? Created an upgrade/epic-free server that those players that did not have Bill Gates as a family friend could play and compete. It got very popular and had a really good population for a long time.

    Fast forward to the last Merge. After all the promises of keeping Divinity/Jin Epic & upgrade free, YNK (Now PlayWithI) find it is not cost effective to keep 2 low-population servers running. Each server costs lots of money to run and 2 of them are no longer feasible. So a merge is necessary - which of course the guys in Jin do NOT want!! They liked their non upgrade server and feel they would be at a huge disadvantage competing against RAN's Epics and Upgrades. Remember that RAN is already heavily overpowered and PWI was throwing them in to that mess again.

    In order to maker it fair to everybody from both JIN and RAN, PWI made the new tier upgrades available to everybody at far better prices than the originals.

    *** end of today's history lesson ***

    Short version: Old epics and upgrades are obsolete just as a Steadman sword is obsolete compared to Glacial Split sword. You had the same chance as everyone else to buy into the new upgrades. It is your problem if you didn't want to and continue using your lower tier upgrade. YNK/PWI never said they would not release better upgrades!! You just have to realize that there are now players that come and bully you with their Upgrade 2.0s just as you got to bully those that didn't have an original Upgrade 1.0 for about 4 years now. You are not at the top of the food chain anymore. If you want to be, you will have to open your wallet again just like everyone else.

    Of course anybody that doesn't like those terms can always follow the same route as those folks that missed out on the upgrades and epics took. But that's just the way it is here for good or bad.

    well said...

    LOL, Jainus is the last place I would call dead. I haven't seen this many people in any irohan server for over 2 years.



    Yep, real dead

    There is nothing noble about being superior to others. True nobility is gained by becoming superior to one's former self.
