Bugs, shaky servers, and controversial cash shop prices are plaguing Tree of Savior’s South Korean launch this week.
According to commenters, the release of Tree of Savior was rushed and didn’t include fixes for many issues that trouble the game. To add insult to injury, apparently the publisher instituted expensive cash shop items that flipped microtransactions over into macrotransaction territory. Outrageous examples quoted include $30 hairstyles and $20 to access trade functions. Some players are also irked at the sale of XP potions, although that does seem fairly standard in F2P titles.
Players have already staged a demonstration against the cash shop practices. Will it change Nexon or IMC’s minds? Will these types of cash shop sales make their way to the west? Stay tuned!
