    EDIT: Dont buy premium or ander. BP are disgusting. They only pocket the money you spend on the game. Such a rich company and they accept free labour from testers and support. It sickens me. Where does the money go to?

    It would be nice if premium was better, but I don't know how you would change it without completely upsetting the balance between free and paying players.

    It used to be that premium gave you free gear id (a real value).

    Premium does give you 100 ander per day, which is nice but not really enough to make me want to pay $13.
    Premium does give cubes (although the drop rate seems to be in question).
    Premium does give you 25% off crafting, but almost everyone agrees that crafting is rarely worth it. Maybe with crafting 2.0.....
    Premium does give you free respawn, but most end gamers don't die often so I don't see the point.
    Premium does give you free reshuffle of daily quest, but who really cares once you reach max wisdom.

    For myself, the few cubes that drop are not worth the price of premium. The free respawn is not worth it. I've already maxed out wisdom so I don't pay that much attention to the DQ. Crafting is so lousy that saving a little gold doesn't inspire me either.

    Maybe if crafting 2.0 creates a major difference it might be worth paying to get premium to save a few gold, although I doubt it.

    Maybe if you got 2 or 3 free crafts a month ???
    Maybe if you got to use revive stones on yourself ??? Would make a major difference in boss runs, so I'm not sure that is a great idea.

    I don't know what else is possible without throwing off the balance too far.

    for 10 euros a month premium is worth of buying, yes i would like to see some more bonuses from it like maybe icnreased unique drop rate or something, your idea with free spins are not bad too, it would be nice to get 5 free jesters spins daily

    The premium is already making very wide gap between P2P and F2P players.
    No additional improvement is needed.

    When you are new(er) to the game and still working your way up, I agree, premium makes a huge difference. Respawning, reshuffle and the extra inventory space is a game changer.

    Once you get to end game (which was the original topic) I don't see premium as that useful in its current state. You get more bang for your buck spending that $13 on ander rather than a month of premium in my opinion.

    Maybe once in a while you get something useful in a cube, but not worth $13. Maybe you die once in a while and would like to respawn, but again not worth $13. By the time you reach end game, inventory space should not be a huge issue if you farmed wisely and bought the space. Once you've reached 50 in wisdom, the daily shuffle means next to nothing.

    As I said, I'm not sure what could be done to the premium that would benefit end game players without upsetting the balance even more, but as it stands today I don't see anything that makes me want to spend the money on it. I just buy ander when I want or need something.

    Don't worry you will rediscover the usefulness of the premium ... when the new parallel world comes live.

    No ... the premium is one of the features that is making the gap wider.

    I think with premium there should be something you get just for purchasing premium and then it makes it unique and worth getting

    Like I said
    and there were many debates on this topic in the past
    And it is a feature that helps the player a lot ... not just in the beginning
    i.e. players with premium can have all royal gems just in 1 year or bit longer ... but F2P player who is playing the game 4 years can't have those gems ... at least not all of them at highest level.

    You're saying that someone can get 60 royal gems in a year with just premium? Someone with that kind of luck should have been playing the lottery instead of a game. I did premium off and on in the beginning and never got close to getting 1 royal gem.

    In my opinion it is better to spend the $13 a month on anders instead of premium, but if you can show me how I can get that many royals just using premium, I'll sign up today.

    I have a friend ... he has not all royal but at least sacred gems and higher he is on pair with my gems (at least for now) ... and he is playing that character for less than 2 years.
    And he is using only premium ... never bought andermants or anything else.

    Premium needs to become a source of income for BP and not P2W items. I agree premium should give a lot more features which would encourage f2p to convert too. Features can vary according to level to avoid twink exploitation, but endgame premium currently is not worth buying for most players and thus not bought enuf.

    Not my luck. I have premium and nothing more. Sure as heck I don't have sacred gems. Just barely have polished. Your friend is uber lucky.

    You get a Pet for buying premuim


    As far as the premuim getting more benfits I dont see the point. DSO dont offer enough content. yes early in the game it is great to have and makes big difference in my eyes. If they were to add more benfits to premuim I would suggest the price increased from what it is now to maybe 15bucks per month. But if that were to happen DSO would need more content to hold the players.

    The Free jesters spins is a great Idea But if they were to create that for premuim users i would hope to see it in the daly quests for the f2p. just less say 1-3 free gambles .

    If they make you pay monthly I would rather Pay for a game that is worth the monthly cash, meaning Much better content, Hardly any bugs you know the drill.
