VIP level requirements?

MisterMusashi

VIP6 is pretty much the minimum to top up on a brand new server (within an hour of release or so) at level 1 to comfortably assume an early top spot in the game and reap the most rewards; of course if others do the same thing or go even farther, YMMV. Also $250 is about a week's work for some people, so... yeah. That's not too bad.

Its actually really bad, because only in countries with good and stable economy you can make that much, which is USA mostly and well supported EU Union countries, even then spending half a month or even a week of your salary on a game is stretching it a bit.

Considering that 80% of the population of this game are teens, that most likely dont even work, yeah 250$ is a huge sum, for VIP 6.

And sadly, you are wrong, VIP 6 is if you plan on playing this game for years, otherwise its a waste of your money and you can live very happily with VIP2~4.

Besides, VIP6 for new servers? New servers are really bad to be honset and they are desolated, i don't understand why they keep making a new server everyday, when they aren't even populated.
Playing on a NEW server in the long term is not advisable, only start on a new one, if you plan to play for a few weeks and want to compete with most non-vip players, otherwise you will end up in a server that has little to no online, with people screaming for "merge".
I think i played on US27 and we had 15 people at hollow event in the middle of the day, while on EU1, where im playing now, we had over 100 people there.

EDIT: Plus i have my doubts about this game in general, people used to think Pockie Ninja is going to last forever too, and they closed it down in one or two years i think, and people used to burn a lot of money into that game too, since it was just like this one, cash shop and gold dependant with vip system, ect.

And also, lets be honest, to be top-top as you said, after you put in 250$ and get VIP6, you have to play half a day - daily, and if you are a working person, you can't devote that much time to a game, let alone fight for the top spots.
Top is for people that are deprived of sleep and waste all of dad's money on this game.

Besides, from my personal experience, top is much less about how much money you put into the game, and moe about how much dedication you have towards the game. Spending gold, is just a fast short term solution to getting stuff that you can get in the long run.
I've played Aion for 2 years and i was pretty much one of the few top players left, while not spending a single dollar on it. Basically it comes down to - how long can you not get bored of a game, lol

It would be enticing, but even then, i doubt that many people would go VIP 6, only pretty much dedicated bleach fans or something would spend that much on a browser game.

VIP 6 is not average at all, its for hardcore, it costs 250$, only about 10% of the gamer populati ...

I wish you were right on the 10% part but you are about 60% off my friend. (as far as hardcore gamers goes, because there are more of them then there is normal gamers) I myself as of now have 1 1/2 days to wait, and On US S42 I am topping up $2000, Don't ask why just know I'm as hardcore as they get and my top up is my minimum you don't want to know my maximum. However This is by far my most favorite game That I have played so it is worth every penny. Glasglow my friend, you need to research a little more on Hardcore gamers, you really don't seem to know much about how hardcore we truly are.

I agree with you.

although there is no point hitting a high VIP with the server merges. sure you will be top of that server for quiet sometime but as soon as there is a server merge with that server you will be way under powered and have no chance no matter what your VIP is.

on the other hand I make about $3,000 a week working in an Australian coal mine so VIP10 to me is sweet fuck all for some it is for hardcore gamers definitely but for some that's just what they spend on a game they enjoy.
