false, the only thing ive spent money on is skins and ive had no issues saving up for champs i wanted.

Irrelevant, the fact that you can buy an OP hero when others don't have access to it is unbalanced. All heroes should be available to all players.

Hyouka!

Anyways, I don't see LoL as a pay to win concept. Everyone can earn points to buy the champ they want. This can be done by cash or by ingame currency.
Gathering these points doesn't take that long to buy a champ, but if u want to buy all the champs with ingame currency it will take a hell a lot of time with ingame currency.

technically era, zodiac and gk are all pay to win also.. everyone on there sells there items outside of graal.. and they cross server trade.. and all that stuff.. the only difference is Graal is not getting any of those profits.

Except you can't compare any of those to Zone. The server is just way too different from them.

sure but i think he means that the idea is still the same.. u can pay money.. and not work for stuff in the game.. and it will become easier.. and graal is not getting paid anything.. lol so true, at least when i used to play gk.. and heard people xserver trading zodiac and era for gk items

[dude2020]

The idea is different. While those items maybe overpowered, they don't give a advantage to point of being able to close your eyes and win. To even suggest that "oh well this is the only way they can make money" is dumb.

Free, but limited? According to website your limited at least by HP.. I haven't checked recently but I believe it says other things like events too..are these still limited?

Trials can win event items for 15 days (half the time) and everyone has 100hp.

Stefan doesn't seem to care about the zone client regardless it's just all izone.

Kind of sad that you still don't get my point, not everyone can afford to buy a hero with currency. The fact that there's a USD option is pay to win.

Sorry for the bump, but iZone really now has no point of history to rely on. I was satisfied with leaving on the account that Codein, an old Zone PC manager, was still managing it. While he may of not been the most influenced by the old style of Zone, he still had knowledge of it and knew when something was straying too far from tradition. Now, we have JesterLapse as the server admin that has only played Zone PC on about two occasions and Matt which I've never heard about him being a Zone player.

tl;dr:
Zone PC's influence on iZone is now completely gone.

implying that we had any influence to begin with, which we didn't.

The one person that did have any influence was fired for posting a Reborn link. Codein left faster than he did on Zone PC I believe.
