Pretty much to no one’s surprise, gPotato has launched the cash shop for Prius Online, which seems to be in the final stages of open beta testing. The newly opened store is initially selling class starter kits, costume sets and crafting upgrades — all in all, a mixture of combat- and appearance-enhancing items.
But the forums are already buzzing on whether the most controversial items on offer — instant HP potions, and a temporary pass that lets players wear gear five levels above them — will be abused in PvP. This issue is nothing new in gPotato games and, to some extent, in all free-to-play games that sell combat advantages in their cash shops.
Amid all the heated discussions on the OP-ness of the premium items, Prius Online fans see one silver lining: Now that money-making business is out of the way, maybe developers will be getting back to work on real content.
