| Devilius Posts count: 20 | I have read that it is officially going to be a P2P...which is a bad idea because although there are many many people who want to play this game...there are also many many people who do not want to pay for it (especially in a P2P fashion)... Personally it woulda worked better like this... You sell the game up front for, say, $(AUS)100 (sorta like guild wars)...l don't think anyone would have a problem forking out this much seeming most console games cost the same and you get sick of those after a week or so and never play them again...whereas for $100 you could own an official copy of an MMO and could play it for free for the rest of your life...booya... So if you have say 500,000-1,000,000 people buying/playing the game (not impossible if you look at WOW's numbers)...at $100 a pop...that's a nice intial return for gravity... THEN in order for gravity to keep monthly revenue up...you have in game item shop (like flyff)...these items don't have to give better stats etc (in fact it works better when they don't)...but could just be things like horns, angel wings etc that basically just make your character look cool... Making it P2P will just make people look for free private severs to come out and play those instead... |

I dont think its a 'bad' idea to make it P2P.. In fact this is probably the only way for them to do it. The guildwars structure meant that development was slow, the expansions where samey no official forums and everthing was heavily instanced. I do like the item shop free mmo's.. but again, they dont have added content nearly at the same rate, and they suffer with hackers, spammers and gold sellers, lack of GM presence and they just get pretty boring, pretty quickly. Private servers... well, they also have their fair share of problems! Everyone I've played on (for many games), especially ones from Korea usually are half translated, buggy, arse hole GM's, servers go down for hours and hours on end because of incompetence, lack of players... and, well, there is always the risk of losing you character. I hate "donating" to such private servers. From what I've played on the OB so far I'd be perfectly happy to pay for it! |

i don't minds P@P as long as they get the game up quick and don't leave it till to late fro English countries otherwise it'll die like ffonline. |

I think many people have fond memories of the original ragnarok! Its one of those games which will be a sucess anywhere. |

They cant bill us, since we didnt introduce any kind of billing information. |

yea, they cant bill you unless you provide billing information, and you cant bill someone just on their social security number. In anycase, its beta. you dont pay for beta. |
