What E2 content do you have to pay for? This may sound like a weird question, but what I mean is will the new level cap, job board, ect. be free?

New level cap (and therefore character abilities) are free, hacker clbum is free (bumuming you have an account to play him on), job board is free, a new + big unannounced gameplay feature is free.

Also, the beginning hour (or more) of Episode 2 is free.

What isn’t free is: new stores, new forums, new characters and storyline.

The new stores are the biggest hurdle for a non-paying account to remain competitive with a paying one, since the paying one will have access to newer equipment.

The way I see this, the more CZ takes in from this venture, the more work they’ll be inclined to put into it going forward. If it’s a money losing or break even situation, eventually the plug is going to be pulled. For those of you who say the game is dying – the majority of people get bored of the same piece of entertainment after awhile. The people who are playing Episode 1 for the first time now, the game isn’t dying.

The gamer culture in general is of the opinion that everything should be free. I get that, I love free stuff, too.

. . .

It’s very simple – it might be cool, we might be part of a culture that is growing more and more used to riding along on the free tide that is the internet, but if the things you enjoy are not supported financially those providing them will most likely not continue devoting a large portion of their lives to them. If you enjoy something, and if you spend more than a few minutes a week on a game site you are in fact enjoying it or you are a moron for wasting your time, give ‘em a kickback. You go see a movie and it’s $8 – $12 for 2 hours of entertainment. I just don’t think a similar fee is unreasonable for something you can come back to over and over.

We used to give away free calendars at my store, until I noticed that every year we’d see a whole bunch of people come in just for the calendars and not the rest of the year. So that was the end of the that. Anyone out there use Pandora? Well enjoy it now, because it won’t be around for too much longer.

If you really can’t afford ten or fifteen dollars one time, then I understand your feelings, but this game already asks you to pay for enhancements, so I think you should understand they can’t give you everything for free.

I would pay $10 for all the new features. I really hope one of these features is more forum visits a day.

I suggest $9.99 as it’s reasonable and not too expensive. Either that or a certain amount of Brownie Points.

Haha, I know you’re trolling, but even though more people voted for $0 than any other particular price, more people voted for costs than $0 overall.

It seems that most people are comfortable with the $5-10 range, which is kind of what we suspected.

Still, we’re not making any decisions just yet.

See, I hadn’t even realized that things like the level cap up to 20 and the Hacker clbum would be available for free- I thought it was all at a fee. If the people who don’t want to pay still get all that and more, I cant see where the problem is. If you don’t want to pay for Episode 2, you’ll STILL get a huge content update when it releases. That’s awesome.

Just make a few dozen more donation E-Peens (both higher amounts and consecutive donations, like donating 4 times, 8 times, etc.) and Forumwarz will become a money making machine. Log in to see images!

Plus it will be hilarious to see all the E-Peen obsessives become super bumhurt over their increasingly expensive addiciton. Log in to see images!

I grant you an bumhole x

I’d pay 20+, it’s not that much to pay, most that are ****ing about pay are probably 15 year olds who to them, 20 bucks is a fortune. Although I do agree this game is kinda “dying” right now, I hope it picks up with the ep2 release.

Here’s a question though: If you did not pay the fee, would the community portion of the game still be available? IDC, Flamebate, etc.

I wasn’t referring to games, I was referring to forums with absolute ****loads of content and 6+ years worth of threads/users.

After seeing what you have proposed I think I would play the free bit for a while til everyone else has finished orgasming over the new clbumes etc and no doubt get hooked and have to pay to finish it. I would prolly pay $10 for that, it sounds like it’s gonna be worth it.

Charge for the game and I won’t pay it. That simple.

My computer can barely run this game and it takes me 10+ minutes to run a single forum. Me paying for more lag would be silly.

We will still have access to flamebate and such if we don’t pay, right?

You’d have access to everything you have access to now, as well as several other new features as they’re introduced. The only pay-to-play option would involve your progress through the episodic content. Which, in my humble opinion, is totally worth it.

Many sites experience lag. This can have just as much to do with your own ISP/net connection as it does the site.
