Yeah! We've been waiting so long, asking repeatedly for permissions to be added! Now it's so easy to transfer my Templar teams from phone to phone! Oh! The amazing levels I'm building in the new editor! All your Templarz belong to us!! 1!!eleventy!! ! Oh, what? This has nothing to do with all those features we can't have because of the Trese Holy Mandate against app permissions? Oh. Just about cash, then? Ah. I think it's admirable how much fan devotion the Treses get. There is always someone to jump up and defend whatever they do. As for me, though, I have to say my interest in the Trese dogs ended $20.00 and a pay to play beta ago. I don't want to start a fight or anything, I'm just curious what you mean by the "pay to play beta" thing. Are you referring to the alpha of Age of Pirates? Or is it the Heroes of Steel thing? I guess I can understand how some people are a little put out by the inclusion of IAP in ST, but I have to stress that (at least so far) the TB have been good about not doing any overt cash grabs. I know that I'm a relative new-comer to the forums, but I feel that the recent inclusion of the unlock IAP in ST is in no way scary at all. If you think about it the IAP is totally unnecessary, it is mainly just a convenience upgrade. We can already unlock all of the awards by playing, and if you want to change your phone you can use ST's cloud back-up to facilitate. Would I like that cloud back-up service for TA/CK/AoP? Sure! Would I like to see a level editor for TA? Absolutely! In my mind the inclusion of IAP actually makes these features more possible. It would be nice if a level editor or what-not were released for free, and in a perfect world they would be, but I'm a big believer in paying people for their work and am not against throwing a couple bucks at the TB for some extra goodies now and again. Everything can, of course, change depending on what is done with the IAP system. If the TB decided to include a timer that required "recharging" by either time or IAP I would jump ship in a heart beat. I trust them not to do these things, but hey, who knows? Of course, take all of my words with a grain of salt. I have purchased everything (yes, even the IAP) that the TB put out and am one of the crazies that threw enough money into HoS to get my own NPC. I'm far from a non-biased party here. And, for clarification, only my first question was directed at you, Lt. Hathaway. The rest of it is just my general thoughts on the subject. I don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to argue or start a fight, you'll always be my TA brother!

And, for Atheismos Sake: Never add any kind of IAP to CK! Never, got me?! I don't even wanna think how many people you'd loose if you'd do that, really... How many of you are having CK Elite? And what you'd say if Cory Trese and fallen would bring IAPs into CK? Hmmmmm??? Sent from my HTC Desire using proboards

I shouldn't have brought up the pay to play bit, but I meant HoS. When I mentioned dogs I was referring to comments about dogs upthread, which I assumed referred to actual pets. More of a cat person myself.

Ah, ok, just curious what you meant. Sorry to hear that you got disillusioned with everything, but I don't think anyone blames you for it. IAP is always a scary issue. I can understand it's use, but it's such a hot-button topic that sometimes I think it might not be worth it just because of the knee-jerk reaction it brings out in a lot of people. I can say that the introduction of IAP hasn't seemed to slow down the updates that the TB have been putting out at all, which is great! Stick around, Lt. Hathaway, the TA forums will be lonely without you. You should pop into the secrets thread in the Tips & Tricks section and help us with out hunt

Hi guys !
I'm enthusiastic about you being full time devoted to the games we all love and hope you could make a descent living out of it. To add my thoughts about IAP, in every game I saw until now, it was a pain to play without paying every 5 mins to get life/xp/consumables or any other things you would need to continue playing and THAT sucks. But I felt that kind of games was originally designed to get money out of the players. In my opinion, the TB games are of different kind and have always been designed to satisfy the players (hence the numerous upgrades fixing bugs and wishes from players here in the forums).
If some few bucks can help you Cory and Andrew continue doing great games and gives us hours and hours of play, I'm happy to send you those bucks even if I hadn't play ST for months. Keep up with great content and you'll always have people backing you up :-D
