Heatwave Interactive is following through on its commitment to the players of Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising with a new character class, improved gameplay, bonus options, and at the same time enticing more players to join the game with a new $29.99 price point for both box and digital versions of the MMO.

“The benefit of being a small, independent developer/publisher is our ability to act quickly and make changes that reflect community preferences and market conditions,” said Anthony Castoro, Heatwave CEO. “The community has spoken and our analytics confirm that players really enjoy Gods & Heroes once they’ve experienced it. So we made the decision to lower the barrier to entry so a wider population of players can get in the game.”

Lower the sub to $5/month and maybe I'll give it a go.

Just what I was waiting for.  I was hoping Heatwave would lower the boxed price soon.  At only $29.99 and only $9.99 a month its a very reasonable deal in my opinion.  Good move Heatwave.

Reminds me of AoC in many ways.  Think I'll wait for the next patch and the scout and try it again. 

its a great game..i,m just waiting for more content.

oh jesus... it's already really cheap, what difference does a few of dollars a month make to you really?

Don't tell me your so broke that about a dollar a week difference is a deal breaker for a game that you want to play otherwise?

Good move to lower the initial price.  Still not sure how it will catch on but its obvious they figured out real quick that 50 was not going to cut it.

Great move lowering the price, I'm dying to try this game, think this is where I break down.

You took the words right out of my mouth. +1 for vesavius.

Good move on their part.

Anyone know how big are the estates?  Can you share an estate with friends/guild?

How many minions do you run at once with you?  If you are grouped with friends do you all have a small army of minions and end up with a huge army or such?

Just wondering :)

The game looks cute, with the housing and minion armies. The combat looks a bit meh, and the graphics ain't top notch either though. I'd like a free trial first.

I love mythology and Roman architecture, clothing, etc.  I might be interested in a free trial at some point.  Not sure why I'm hedging on trying this game, except that I have a couple single player games going at the moment, as well as trying to level a character in another mmo. 

Ahhh...if only I had more time.  If only the view from my house wasn't so beautiful.  It's a nice day too.  I should go outside.

 I played in the beta and didn't mind the game, but a subsciption in itself stops me from buying it. It's not the matter of the cost as such, but rather that there will come a time where I won't play it enough to justify paying the sub, and at that point everything that I will have into it will be lost.  I would much rather pay a large amount for a lifetime sub, then incrimental amounts. B2P wins in my book. I'm sure that others will disagree.

There is a lifetime sub option. I'm not sure how much it is though.

Its a start but not enough to bring me into the game.  They need much more content and lower prices across the board for me to consider playing.

Is there pvp yet?

That is besides the point. He is comparing to other products when looking at the price. It doesnt have to be about the budget he can spend.

You use a non argument, because you could say it about everything that only costs a few dollars.

He says the "good thing about being a small company" now admit the bad part of it that they had to release a completely unfinished product. The only other issue I take is having a playable character "if you buy and subscribe by". Uh no. Its either there to play in a p2p model or not at all. This isnt a collectors item is a freaking character/class.

you can buy the key at g2play for 11$
