But it takes soo long to get heroes you want. I might just spend some funcom points to buy a bloodline. i've played LoL but it just seems that heroes take longer in blc than in LoL. not sure why, in theory it would take the same if not longer. it kind of sucks that they make it only 4 hero rotation, it just seems that 10 heroes is so much more fulfilling.

Well to give you an idea, I have like 14-15 hours played... and I just barely would have enough to buy a guy, or not still be a little short. (bought an avatar, so not sure what my real coin amount atm is)

Side note, you can always play for a bit, gauge who you like (or play some guys and get a feel of who you think you will like) and just buy 2 champions for 10 bucks. I did that because I read all the abilities of all the guys and could figure out who I wanted to play. 30 for 16 guys (or 40 for 20) is obviously a better deal, but if you don't wanna spend that much and only have 1 or 2 guys appeal to you, you could save some bucks that way too.

I dunno, 30$ was very reasonable to me given that I play it as much as I play SC2, and I can see myself popping in from time to time even if I don't "main" the game just because it requires so little time commitment in blocks. *shrugs*

My biggest hurdle to playing right now is that my internet is still focked and Comcast's being really slow (been over a month!) in installing @ my home, so I've been really only playing late at night, but that's usually when my friends in Aus/Cali are on so we switch around with games (sometimes SC2, sometimes UMS, sometimes BC, etc.)

If you hit the cap it would take 2 weeks. New accounts can grab a new bloodline in 1 week with achievments.

Also you have to realise the free version is a way to get people to want to buy the full game. The original idea was to not have a free version at all and only make it a pay game, like HoN. But they realized they had nowhere near the support and playerbase of HoN and dropped for a freemium strat like LoL.

But Unlike LoL, which releases a hero every 2 weeks, they can't afford to let people max out in a few weeks. They need a way to get people to want to pay to play, let that be buying that one hero you really like or dropping 30 for the whole thing.

Also as to the rotation, if you think about it the 10 free character rotation in LoL is only 9% of content. the 4 in Bloodline is 20%. They can't have a 10 BL rotation cause then people won't see a need to buy the game. If that much content is available in the free version people who payed will feel like they aren't getting enough (6 champs for 30$ instead of 12), and people who didn't wont feel a need to pay for it.

It's business and you cant begrudge them for needing(not wanting) to make money. Just be glad that they don't churn out BL every few weeks like in LoL, game like this has a very delicate balance.
