[MENTION=922]Alloy[/MENTION]; Well yes it's lame that they didn't expand the max number of slots until after the free expansions expired.
No one is realistically going to spend $110 on slots. They know that. We know that. But you don't need all the slots. It's there as a convenience/feature. If you really want to play more than 3 characters, you can go out and make another account for free. There's no denying Nexon is money hungry, but that's the F2P model which pretty much describes any MMO.
You can't really compare MS to Valve or steam packs. That's like comparing asparagus and gum balls. Obviously the gum balls are less expensive and taste better, but that doesn't make them a vegetable. My point is the people that want a 2D side scrolling MMO have Maple and that's it. There isn't a realistic competitor in that category. Nexon isn't in any kind of competition with Valve whatsoever.
