Business plans...
« on: April 30, 2002, 09:02:31 pm »
Do you have plans on having this free even after beta testing is complete?  If so, I know that there are many online games that have gone p2p and I was wanting to know what steps you are taking to prevent this from happening to yours.  Thank you.

It sounds great, and I hope it all works out, but I\'ve seen too many good games go p2p.  How will this be funded?  It\'s hard to trust a developer now, lol.  How will this project be maintained?  Thank you.

We have not figured it out yet and will cross that bridge when we come to it.  The intent of the team is for it to be free to play.

We need it to \'exist\' before any plans can be worked out. :-)

At the moment lots of people are trying to figure out ways, for Example: Banners, custom textures for the game for your armour/weapon, custom guild houses, donations will most likelly be up, on a fattal attemp to make cash. :D lol j/k but there are ways. The Dev\'s are also trying to find people who will donate free servers and such. No werries tho, It\'s way early to to cry avout it(hehe), something will come up sooner or later. But a lot of ideas are there, so thats good news. :D

If it does end up costing, I hope it will be a one-time fee.  That I wouldn\'t mind so much.  Also, they need to make payment as painless as possible.  CCs can turn a lot of people off..
