If your paying for the game because of sympathy then your not seeing the point.
It’s a matter of supply and demand, lets compare Forumwarz to something else with similar features.
Lets try msn (as it’s fairly well known)
MSN (Plus other software with similar features)
– Unlimited use: Free – Updates: Free – Customisable avatar: Free – Changing name colour: Free – Make another account: Free – Change your name: Free – total for the above: $0 US
Forumwarz
– Unlimited use: $3.50 US – Updates: $10 US (1 use) – Customisable avatar: $1.70 US(1 use) – Changing name colour: $1.70 US (1 use) – Make another account: $5 US (1 use) – Change your name: $3.50 US (1 use) – total for the above: $25.40 US
Considering you need the 45 BP deal to pay for this, your actually spending $50 US.
Your paying several US dollars other services offer for free, you consider this fair?
“How MSN and other services able to do this for free?”
Simple tasks such as changing a colour/name/avatar etc can take as little as 1 peice of code to perform, this isn’t eating server bandwidth at all. There is no excuse to be charging for things such as these.
“How does MSN and other services make money?”
See those pretty banners around webpages? There called advertisements. Forumwarz also has advertisements.
Companies pay big money to advertise on popular webpages. Even if you do not pay for Brownie Points, Forumwarz is still earning money from you using their services thanks to advertisements that you can see on this very page unless you have PAYED to remove them.
