Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is LOL and it's store?

LOL is league of Legends a DOTA copy that is free to play on PC and is proably one of the largest games on the planet right now.

The lol store is where people buy new hero skins, some people have up to 100 pounds/dollars worth of skins etc, the company has grown quite quikcly from its begining to what it is today.

Alot of game pusblishers and investors are looking at the F2P model beacuse of the sucess of riot, not all games will do as well but it looks like a good invesment option at current.

I haven't bought any of the gold ammo - I just use the cheaper armor piercing/high explosive rounds that cost the in game credits you earn each round. There is not any real need for the gold rounds in the random public games and I am not quite at the stage where I could start thinking about the clan wars - I doubt I will bother with them based on the costs I would likely incur...

But yes, there is always the temptation there when you just want to finally get your new gun or something but I just have to call myself an idiot and remind myself that I am trying to save money currently!

Yeah, who needs gold ammo anyway? Right?

Good luck saving up! The trick is to try and stop spending but you already know that. Saving money is an easy game to play but really hard to succeed. Too many temptations out there.

Well did anyone see this yesterday? http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/when-riccitiello-said...

The CEO is obviously a fan of the F2P format. Like with all F2P games I tend to find they are usually quick to level up or advance through the game for the first 5 hours, then it just becomes a grind unless you want to spend real cash on it. The only F2P game I did play and then put cash on it ruined it for me anyway as then I had a lot of the best things in the game. I am not a fan of them.
