The race was set on a small island. This island was quite deserted, and no players came here. It didn't even show up on the map, so the players could only be teleported there.
Every player needed to pay a fee of 20 gold to participate in the race, while the to spectate was 2 gold.
The exchange rate for gold to dollars was around 1 to 25. This meant that it cost them 500 dollars to participate in the race, and 50 dollars to watch the race. The pricing was similar to watching a movie at the cinemas. Lu Li believed without doubt that this was a cash-grab for the company.
Although this was a free to play game, they were still able to earn a huge sum of money from the sheer numbers of players despite there being not many pay-to-win aspects in the game.
