Dragonica - Interview @ Gamebunny

Gamebunny talked with Ben Serviss responsible for the localization of Dragonica Online in the US.

gamebunny: Free-to-play games (with micro-transactions) finally seem to be catching on in North America. What kind of items can players purchase at the in-game Item Shop?

Ben Serviss: Players will be able to buy exclusive outfits and accessories, as well as functional items that they can use in-game. However, we wanted to be up-front about how our cash shop will work – you won’t be able to buy weapons or items that give you direct advantages over other players in the game, and at no point will players ever be required to buy anything throughout play. The main philosophy was to offer extra fun things for players to do that don’t affect gameplay – custom outfits, cosmetic items – and functional items that let you interact with other parts of the game that are still available to free players.
