Pliskin 41 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I am Not saying to get rid of your current free to play(in-app store) version I am suggesting a seperate game where we pay maybe $5-$10 a month, but there is no in-app store >Implying making signs of imperishability and other items RARE drops and other exclusive items rare or non-existent, both versions would be exciting. The pay2play version being more difficult(though some wouldn't realize) Imagine having a +8 weapon on this. most everyone would be +4-7 and the most lucky getting 9-10 not just spam a new item with hundreds of signs every time it is brand new. These are just a few examples If you would consider this and discuss this idea of a "Hardcore" version You might just bring back a lot of your first loyal customers and new ones I know it sounds crazy, but i know many who would play that or both. I think you would make more money this way and we would have two paths in the same world. I do really appreciate this game as the other great MMORPGs i spent years on.

MR X 2 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 lol its been pay2play before THIS. but not anymore. http://forum.warspear-online.com/index.php?topic=911.0 and disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VrockS 2 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 An app like this would be great for me! Liked the idea most because scammers will be significantly reduced. But i think devs won't consider this, Because, -Its hard to make a totally new app. -And working on it will make a huge delay on future updates for current f2p. -And no one still surely can say that it will get populated enough to get their investment back.(Becuase there is a free version of same app) This are some of my thoughts!

sulla 127 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 They don't have the funds to gamble on that system, only mmo's that initially sell there product, and guaranteed some sort of profit, go pay2play, warspear is too small to not have a shop.. and controlling two version's is even more work. The game isn't made for the community, only there bank account's, so it will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA and BioWare made their SWTOR on subscription system, then moved to f2p. The newest RPG WildStar have started just 3 months ago, but now they're moving to megaservers and have an exact plan to become f2p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin 41 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I actually didn't see this for myself but i used to play ragnarok online for many years and they had only p2p servers (besides private servers) But my friend who tried to bring me back told me now they support a free server version and also the old subscription servers. And now i see them alive again making new games for mobiles instead of just their pc game. If warspear is and has been in the top mobile apps i don't quite imagine AiGrind being so tiny anymore, or incapable. Once people noticed how difficult my idea would be (realize the only currency would be gold and drops again) You would have many on both sides.. And honestly i just said subscription because i know this is business and this game deserves money. I think WS has enough players to keep this profitable i did not do the math but it might be better I was just dreaming a little dream with big hopes Sometimes i think AIGRIND might be making more money off the "free mcoin" ads and offers than buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absalom 54 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It has been proven that f2p with pay to win aspects aka mcoin store (like warspear) are more profitable then p2p games. thats why all the new stuff coming out is now f2p. warspear is very successful just the way it is. I dont think they are interested in doing anything else. I do like your idea though, would be cool. Just dont see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin 41 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well i do understand your guys points but i also believe having both would benefit If i had enough money to do it i would. And who knows maybe i will someday Oh no there i go dreaming dreams again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlezebonz 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 wait, im confused..... isnt it already pay to play? i mean, you cant get anywhere if you dont spend $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulla 127 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 wait, im confused..... isnt it already pay to play? i mean, you cant get anywhere if you dont spend $$ you can GRIND gold, and beg, or grind gold and join AoA making good GP daily,and get rewarded, there's many options to gain stuff without buying MC, it's totally a free game. swamps + sell item rewards for gold also work, just need a whole lot of commitment.

Hamstring 78 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've been crying for a no shop server forever. I love it and I'd gladly pay sub fee for this, surely the best mobile mmo can make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueborn 21 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I Would prefer a p2p rather than a p2w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jswaaz 87 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 runescape is very unique with their take on f2p and p2p servers, and in my opinion no other game does f2p and p2p better I've been crying for a no shop server forever. I love it and I'd gladly pay sub fee for this, surely the best mobile mmo can make it happen! i like this, its also similar to runescape. they released "old school servers" which would only include content from 2006. making the game simple and fun instead of "farm all this gold to get an op weapon and 1 hit everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azebu 92 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 How about you let players buy premium account that gives following bonuses: 10% increased drop rates 10% more gold gained from quests 15-30% more experience from daily quests double/triple experience on characters if there is one/two characters with higher level on the same account (would help battle people making every character on separate account).

Azebu 92 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 yes give +500x attack you forgot that an d20k def Way to miss the point completely. Does it decrease the time you spend grinding for new gear? Yes Does it decrease the time of leveling characters, especially new ones? Yes Does it make you any more powerful? No, all you get is saved time. It does not give any unfair advantage in PvP that people without it can't get. Your damage output will not be any higher than damage of people without it.

VrockS 2 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Nobody said it has to be tradable. Nobody said it doesn't mean that nobody will trade .And how you'll stop an account from being Traded/Bought/Sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that logic, Aigrind shouldn't let us buy anything new for miracle coins, because there is a chance someone will trade accounts to get it.
