That's right: players could only get the packs that got them new cards with the game's premium currency. Perhaps the biggest and most egregious problem that arose was the fact that PVP card packs could only be bought with platinum. The release even included a fourth class for players to try. But this came too slowly for many, as PVE was the reason many players had joined in the first place. What a lot of people who had backed the game wanted was a good MMO that used cards, not a regular card game with a little bit of story attached. It took a long while for the next area of the world to become a reality, although when it did materialize, it was arguably even better than the first. The PVE section of the game, by contrast, was left neglected. All the elements were there for Hex to take the world by storm.Īs time went by, packs and tournaments came regularly to the PVP scene. Enemies were fun to fight, using outlandish strategies not seen in regular PVP similar to bosses in Hearthstone's Galakrond's Awakening. Whichever race and class combo players picked gave different options during a battle, letting players use cards in entirely new ways, and players could also earn equipment which would power up certain cards. On top of all of this, Hex innovated in a few key areas that made the PVE engaging in ways few virtual card games have done before or since. Eight races and three classes made for lots of replay value, even without any community defining moments like World of Warcraft had over time. Granted, players could not yet interact with each other within the PVE world, either in guilds, raids, or other aspects, but these were promised later down the line. While the interface was simple, it had all the makings of a genuine MMORPG. Hex hit the ground running with a large area for players to explore in PVE.
This would only become relevant to players five years later, but the writing was still a long way from the wall at this point.
However, the legal dispute was ended with an out of court settlement, and according to a statement released in 2015, both parties seemed to walk away happy.
