Title: How much do you think planeshift will cost eventually?
Post by: Siegemaker on June 24, 2002, 12:47:36 am
We would all like the game to be free always (especially the gamers), but I should think that someday (and someday soon most likely) the game will be to big and too expensive to be free.  How much do you suppose it will cost a month?

We have no plans to ever turn this into a pay to play game.  We will cross any  financial barriers if we get to them. :)

I mean no offense to the dev people...I think it is great you are doin\' a completely free game...I\'m just thinkin\' about the costs..I mean the servers...the maintence of them (power for them and people to fix them) and the programmers and all that...it takes cash, unfortunately...just sayin\' that if you can keep it free...cool :)

Well i hope it stays free b/c i have seen many games like this that start out like this and b/c of server difficulties and so many people getting on just other different scenarious they had to start making people pay ut i do hope that it does stay free and decently good looking i dont care about graphics and all that stuff i just want good game play and weapons and spells and junk like that sacrafice graphics for better junk i say and u would save a lot of money.good luck!! :]

Dear Sirs,
   I have been an online gamer since the alpha of Sierra\'s The Realm. I have seen many systems, some good some not so good. Most have went the way of the KooKoo bird. I really like the Licencing scheme you have as it makes good Team and or Business Sense... However: What  im not seeing is how you can support yourself in the long run.
    I would LOVE to have a Linux MMORPG as then I can finally get totaly rid of my window partition.  I for one would most happily pay a small monthly or an upfront  0ne time fee for a quality *NIX game. This has all the ear marks of just such a game. Please elucidate on this as I really would love to Delete that  hideos Window partition!

   Thanks for your time.
 
   Life is only as interesting as you make it.

All team members donate their time.

All servers are donated by fans of Planeshift.

That\'s all there is to it.  It\'s not a mystery.

That Rocks! Talk about community support! Well I guess you can tell I was raised on the Windosian way of thinking. Now im getting a bit excited, I think I will look into signing on as a tester ect.

   Thank you for you time.
