The fact that it’s then added to the store leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Most people here know I’m a big fan of the microtransaction model, but quite blatantly taking something away form the players to add to the store is kind of slimy in my book.

I’m not the biggest RPer ever but I like my character to be vaguely consistent and have vague reasons for doing things.

The theatre is a lot of fun, and very well done. I’m starting to learn the parts and then looking through all the emotes for the most or least appropiate gives it more lasting apppeal for me after the initial buzz.

Once things have quietened down a bit, I reckon the G.L.O.B.E. will be a great venue for guild nights out with additional dialogue from the PC actors and some audience participation (“Oh no it won’t!”, “Oh yes it will”, etc…)

Seriously, I think there are too few exclusive perks which are gained by being around and doing the content the first time around. If they want to put it in the cash shop, fair enough, as long as there is other stuff you can get.

Kinda sucks that stuff is being taken away (at least from subscribers) and put into the store.

That said, the new stuff is pretty cool. Very theme park-like and not necessarily fitting with the overall story, but it fits the feel of the game.
