[CLOSED] Episode 2: Would you Pay? | |||||||

Possibly. It depends on what I would get for the money. |

I’d pay $5 or $10 for episode 2, as long as it is more varied than just pwning forums. More missions like “Trapped in the Cupboard”, in other words. |

I’d only pay if you can pay with brownie points, because if I just become popular or win a contest I can get those without actually paying myself. |

Is there an update on this? I have donated, and still would pay to play Episode 2. |

I most definitely would… so long as it’s just one payment. Monthly payments or anything like that, no matter how low, are right out for me. |

I really don’t want forumwarz to be pay2play, if that happens, then it seems like Forumwarz will end up like every other “Big” MORPG out there.
I want forumwarz to stay free Log in to see images! |

Regardless of what ends up happening, I do hope that everyone who donated in Episode 1 gets to play Episode 2 for free. It seems like a decent number of people have paid their $5 or $10 already. |

Also, it can’t be THAT much more than the equivelent of 3 BP, since for 3 BP you can play an alt through ep 1 again. And if you have to pay for each character you want to bring into Ep 2, I’ll be really dissapointed. |

I wouldn’t pay to play Episode 2. Look how ****ty the economy is right now, no one wants to spend money. I just don’t see the point in spending x amount of dollars to play a net game that will lead up to me waiting another year for the next episode.
I’m surprised that I’m even logged in right now. I should have forgotten about this site months ago. |

So WHY are you still here?
I would pay. I already paid for Friend of Forumwarz Platinum. I mean, christ, yes the economy is bad. But it’s not going to be like 50 bucks to play. Mow a few lawns, walk a few dogs. Yeah, yeah give me some excuse… “I shouldnt have to, blah blah blah”, suck it up. |

I think it should cost around 5-10 dollars. And be sendable in the same way BPs are. So that if you don’t have any means of online purchasing you could beg your e-friends to send it to you.
It would be stupid for Crotch Zombie to release it for free after all the work they’re putting into it. Plus they have to pay for servers and bandwidth.
It would also be reasonable to have it be “by donation” meaning for every time you donate any quantity of money, you get access. then have a purchaseable gift access for the poor people who don’t have access to credit cards. |

nop I might even consider stopping with playing :-/ especially if it’s around $50. for that price I can get myself a whole bunch of computer games to entertain myself with and there is still plenty of other web-based RPG’s I can check out… even though they are completely different, probably less original and might contain bigger douchebags than here. |

Unlikely to be 50. Very unlikely. Thr first one was free, I can expect this wouldm’t be out of anybodys range. If you’re paying for internet access you can likely afford to pay. If you’re mooch off someone else, mooch a fin or 10 from them. It’s not like you’ll never have that money in your lifetime (unless you are you’re going to die soon… in which case why the hell are you on the computer, you lazy ****). You can pay them back. Or just say you’ll pay them back and not really follow through. Or bash their head in with a brick and take their wallet. Do I have to think of everything? |

QFT. Also, I’d like to know what the plans are for alts. If I’d have to pay a sum per alt that would really kill my willingness to donate “just because”. But personally, I think ep2 should be free unless CZ wants to see the userbase evaporate. Have people donate for fun, for alts, titles, avis, etc, but don’t scare away half the internet by requiring payment to play. That’s doomed to fail. |

I would be willing to pay up to 5 BP to enter Ep 2, and then under the contion that all my alts get to play too. Big Brother edited this message on 06/07/2008 4:59PM |

Everything has already been said in this thread by now, but here is my personal opinion, for what it’s worth:
Keep the game itself free, but add more things you can get for BP. I’m fine with things that cost BP and affect gameplay or grant a slight competitive advantage, as long as all of the core content of the game is free. I know people will rant about how some have a better chance in competitions and such, because they can donate. But let’s face it, if you could choose between not being able to play the game at all, and being at a disadvantage compared to donators, what would you choose? |

I believe ET said it wouldn’t be a subscription fee, if we were to pay at all. |

He confirmed in a tubmail to me a long time ago that (to paraphrase) “It’s highly likely that there will be a one-time pay.” He didn’t mention chances of a monthly fee, but he didn’t mention chances of no pay at all either.
You know though? I think they could get more money without pay if they put ads in the “Thread? Dead.” Screen. |
