Alot of free games have certain items you can buy for real money. Is there word of any shop like this for fiesta? Whats your opinion on it?

Yes there will be a cash shop, they are doing that already in the other versions, like Flyff, thats what will keep this game F2P forever.

item shops ruin games. It makes it an unfair disadvantage towards people who have money.

Id rather just pay a small monthly fee to play a fair game.

Like Unholy said, first it starts off as an innoccent shop that is there if you want it. Then it turns into a thing that consumes the managements thoughts and all they think about is making money and it ruins the game. (reference to flyff)

Well hopefully Outspark doesn't have the same mentality as Aeonsoft does and keep rolling out new cash shop items rather than fix bugs. I have very high hopes for this game.

Obviously it's going to be a cash shop, how will the otherwise make money.
But I do hope there will be no game breaking items, that ruins either the market or PvP environments by adding overpowered items.

I see no problem with having cosmetics and such. EXP boosters wouldn't be too much of a big problem either since that doesnt directly affect other players.

From what I've seen in game there will be items that increase your inventory capacity as well as storage capacity.
And I'm pretty sure there will be different houses you can regen HP and SP in in the cash shop, as well as different mounts probably.

The item I'm most affraid of (if there is such an item) is one that prevent breaking an item when upgrading. If such an item is in the game it's not longer about luck with upgrading and only about who can shove out the most cash to upgrade.
Also if such an item is tradable it will ruin the market of the game, just look how Spros in Flyff control the market of everything.

Spros in Flyff are absolutely necessary.
The success rates once your item is +4 or 5 drops so much that it's
almost impossible to get it on your 1st try. And without Spros,
failing your 1st try = item disappearing. So Spros are necessary
if you want to have a decent weapon or armor x_x

Note: Some people have tried as many as 120 times just to get
an item from +8 to 9.

Or it could just be your item doesnt get destroyed when you fail (which would leave spros unneccessary).
