I have an idea to consider - should DF raise its price?

 

Now hear me out.

DF's fans ( at least a third of those on the Euro severs ) were willing to basically double pay to get onto the NA server. If the fans would pay that extra amount to play, why not just nudge the monthly subscription fee up by say, five dollars a month?

 

Do the math - say 20k playes times the extra five dollars per month brings in an extra 100 per month and an extra 1.2 million dollars per year.

Sweeeet..........and the loan gets paid off that much faster!

Yes you idiots show pay for the game again.  Then again sure the developer will lie and find a way to get more money out of you.

"Sorry to say but are servers in NA are being relocated to "Insert which coast line it's moving to".  So sorry but all you game clients will no longer work and you need to redownload the game again.  Questions or concerns I can't help yeah, busy snorting blow off a hookers ass crack."

Afterall what better way to help the developer to buy hookers n' blow then the very customers he's gonna leach off of.  Now that's customer support!

Yet 20k players are paying for it, so any move to increase profits is a smart business move on their part.

20k is a very small # of players, trying to up subscription fees never works or isn't even considered in these types of games, I doubt it will even still be around in a couple years

When has something not making sense stopped AV? In fact, senselessness seems to be their main pre-requisite for any decion making.

If they'd have said that, i might have bought the POS just because they were honest.

Tasos has a Night Elf Hunter because he's not hardcore enough for his own game.

Where do you find that Darkfall has 20k players. Last I read, it was less than 10k, using extrapolation from ingame Clan data and over-compensation estimation for those not in clans based on previous known statistics.

But don't you see? SOE does this type of thing. So it has to work, right?

 

I mean heck, why not. Aventurine has the market cornered. 

 

Anyway, I heard that Tasos' supply of  Almas Caviar is getting low, so help a fellow gamer out!

This here is the proper way to respond he definitely knew and also very much cares... dumbass.

This is a message to the general populace of MMORPG.com as it is literally a black hole of fun that once you are swallowed up by, it is very hard to escape and makes everything in gaming a little less fun. Best thing you can do is do your own research and stop reading these boards because nothing will ever be good enough and everything will suck always forever if it makes its way into a discussion here.
