I suppose their friends could set 'em up...

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
I managed to get three "friend" accounts with the latest sale.
Don't free players have an inf cap below the price of most HOs?
I think they could stock up on centrioles though.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Technically they could get them the way we used to - participate in a Hami Raid, then broadcast that they'll pay market price for things like Centrioles and Peroxs/Lysos.

Actually, I think the bigger impact will be from returning/downgrading players that don't have the permanent Inventions license.
If a Freebie gets to 50 with only SOs, and doesn't have access to Incarnate Content... why would they even want to tweak out their build with HOs?

Because they want an end game and/or want to make their character the best it can be (within the free account restrictions).

Well, it's certainly an option for improving their character that they don't have to pay extra to access.|

I find it hard to imagine there will be many people who exist in that particular intersection of min/maxer and low-budget player, but I can at least imagine the intersection existing.

Just sayin...

Maybe that Microfilament I have listed for 600m and am too cheap and lazy to re-list will actually sell now

Oh, you would be surprised how many people there are with a great deal of time to play games but very little money (I'm not going to be mean and speculate that the two situations might be related. . . |

). On the forums for another game that went FtP awhile back and was very successful with it, there was a whole guide written about what quests you could grind in what order on multiple characters to unlock virtually all the content, without ever having to pay a dime. Providing you had hundreds and hundreds of hours to spare. . .
Definitely going to use HOs on every secondary account I have.
this all sounds like alot of work for someone thats paying for free. Why would they possibly bother with the raids and marketing if they cant io anyways. I just dont see this as affecting anything.
Sure maybe some will do it but not enough to afect the market as a whole
Premium players can't use io's, but they can use HO's. Look
