PEACEOFWAR Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Sorry to Question powers that be, But I am unsure of making game P2p.. There are 100's of other games with Simular idealisms out there already charging, most $5-$10 a month, Some as high as $40. most as many point out have same ablt'ys and idea's ranging from guilds to mining. Personaly, And I am sure will be the case, at the $10 mark, The game must be better then all others. EverQuest For instance charges about that, And they have literaly Never ending stuff, put out full new game add-ons, and Have subliminal Message's To keep players hooked. I know the idea may be rash, but maybe By staying free, we could get enough people, A high enough player base, that and people to donate, to make it worth our while. I know This game is the retirement wish's of countless people, And we do like your hard work. P.s. I hope im still in good graces with Powers that be. :?: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leeloo Report post Posted February 23, 2004 The idea is to have both. A free continent for the poor people and the cheapskates, and a PvP continent with more races, more different animals, more weapons etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted February 23, 2004 And the cost for P2P is probably going to be something around $5. Don't quote me on that, because I have no say in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayton Report post Posted February 23, 2004 The game would not survive long on donations So keeping it free would defeat the purpose when the games shut down.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted February 24, 2004 While it's not carved in stone, we plan to charge 6/month or 15/3 months or 50/year (USD). You guys should support the idea of p2p because only like that the game can improve. If I work in a factory 8:30 hours/day like I did in the last 2 weeks, I can't really write much code when i get home, because I am too tired, and I also like to do something relaxing, after a full day of work. A commercial game costs about 20-45 USD, and most of them you play for like what? A few months? (with a few exceptions). This game, on the other hand is free to download, and even paying 5 USD/month you'd play about 8 months to cover the cost of a commercial game. Not to mention there will be always a free version.

Kelven Report post Posted February 24, 2004 I agree Ent, paying for the game is the only way that it will develop into the game most of us are asking for, and $6? Come on guys, most of us spend more than that on coffee every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saeger3 Report post Posted February 27, 2004 What would this be in £ and would it be possible to pay via mobile credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirdan Report post Posted February 27, 2004 if any ever looks at the donation page did u see this? Right now, we need money to buy 3D Studio Max, which is about 3000 USD. witch means entropy needs the money so p2p is a good idea with some exceptions maby? i cant do p2p tho i got no credit card but yet thats a good thing no depts yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keknehv Report post Posted February 27, 2004 I think that around $3/month is more reasonable. If the price is cheaper, more people will pay. Besides, why not just go and get a commercial game that's $5/month otherwise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PEACEOFWAR Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Ummm, Ever heard of Kazaa People! LOl.... LOL... LOL ...LOL 3d Studio is easy to download, andworks, I have heard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Ehhmmmm...yeah. And what do you suppose will happen if this game gets a bit more succeful and the 3D studio ppl find out you've been using their product without paying. $6/month is reasonable. And yes, I do spend more on coffee... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Huh, I thought Roja was happy with Milkshape... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerowind Report post Posted February 28, 2004 LOL funny name milkshape and ya if Ent downloaded it from Kazaa (which he would never do (I think)) if he got caught he would be put in jail and well no more updates of the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kitter Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Or you could get it for half the price without it being illegel by buying it off ebay;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keknehv Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Nah, just buy it. When you start the p2p, within a few months you could afford it... And wasn't it $7000? Huh... Also, try Gmax in the meantime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
