Well i heard it would take about 5 years to add al the features mentioned on the site into PlaneShift.. so i asked myself: wouldn\'t it be better to ask a one time fee to play planeshift (just buy the game in a box for about 50 dollars/euro\'s) i dont really care to pay 50 bux for a game like planeshift the only thin i REALLY hate are monthly fees and i think most players dont like them.. if you would ask a one time fee you will be able to put in some pro programmers, this will make the project be finished much faster (mayb a year?)
OK OK, i know its your intention to make the game free, but i think a MMORPG with the features planeshift has is still FREE if you only ask a one time fee to purchase the game in a box... Dont think much ppl have problems with it but mayb im wrong:)
Pls dont attack me cause of this post:P but i just cant wait till the game is finished:$

Planeshift is not a company, they are individual people...so there is nothing to send the money to, and, their based on being a free mmorpg...so it would not make people happy.
-
waiting wont make me happy either:\'(
-
jesus christ suck it up man. there have been people waiting here since july of 2002. just wait like the rest of us. crystal blue should be at least 1/3 of what the full game will be as far as features.It will give us something to do untill the next release when they probally delete our players again cus thres a level 99 draklar and a level 79 xordan running around.
-
ok, so we\'ll all pay them 50$ and then what? do you think that the money will make the game or something?? damn.. this is another thread for my stupid threads list..
It will give us something to do untill the next release when they probally delete our players again cus thres a level 99 draklar and a level 79 xordan running around.
there won\'t be levels remember :rolleyes: :P
-
well there will be a level 99 longsword and heavy armor draklar so bite it... :P what i meant was the equivent of a level 99 person...
-
jeh jeh, i know it was a \"joke\" you know that what the :P is for
-
yes yes and did you notice the :P in my post also? (this post is going no where fast) :P
-
flame war :D
oh well.. this whole thread was crap to start with in the first place, so why not go all OT and flame eachother ^^

On a side note, hi, I\'m new here. I\'ve played PS before though, a few months ago.

It must be hard for everyone to fully understand that the devs really do mean they\'re going to create a free MMORPG. I\'m sure Vengeance would appreciate any contributions to the \"Pay Venge\'s Rent Fund\", but that isn\'t going to get him any more free time in which to work on PS.
Money is not an issue here, and never was. The developers work on the project in their free time, and money does not buy time. It also undermines the very reason why many of them are such loyal, hardworking members of the team, because they have an objective with this- to create the greatest, free MMORPG out there- and believe they can make it happen.

If you _really_ want to donate to this project, read ths thread: http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=7370&boardid=13 (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=7370&boardid=13)
Maybe you could sticky it moogie :))

Oi, I think it\'s gonna be a lvl 99 at everything good Xordan running around..... :D
Personally, I wouldn\'t mind paying a one off fee. But there isn\'t anyone to pay it too..... Well, u could give me all u\'r money, I\'ll find a good place to keep it ready for a time where planeshift is owned by Bill Gates, and he\'s charging for it. :D :rolleyes:
-
jeh, give your money to CS instead... although a christmas present for Venge and the team for next year (if the next version is out by then :P:P) from the community (that\'s us :rolleyes: ) would be kewl :D :P
-
well in theory money COULD help the team in they could hire a full time professional artists, not that the current devs arent professional they just are working on other things. if the team could raise enough money they could hire some full time artists to help them. But i dont know they can figure it out themselves.

Think of it this way.... the game is FREE, your just paying the $50 for the box :P

That is not what planeshift is about, and will never be about...get it through your head.

look you peanut i never said thats what i wanted. I was explaining that money could make developement faster. I never said thts what should be done.
-

It wouldn\'t make it faster, most of the current devs would quit and people would go play better pay MMORPGs.
-
why would anyone quit just becaue someone who can work full time on the project is hired? If just one or two full time artists were hired with donation money i doubt anything would happen except faster developement.
-
.. The goal of the PlaneShift project is to make a game without money,, if you want to give money to them so bad, read the Important: Donations thread.. it\'s there for a reason

Why would someone work for free when the person next to him is getting paid? It would be unfair for some developers to get a profit out of their work and for others to remain working for not even one penny a year.
It has been said before, putting money into the equation will only generate trouble. Why don\'t we keep it that way and find alternatives?
If you are so excited about the project and want to see it advancing faster, why don\'t you volunteer yourself or, if you feel you do not have any talent that would be of any use to the team, then seek artists that may be interested in the game, potential developers. Or advertise PlaneShift in your site, send links to buddies, spread the word!

Unless, Golbez, such money was dispersed equally in the form of software... ;)
(ie:none of the devs has [insert useful program here], go buy it for each of them)
