What is the devs opinion on payment?

[ravana]

this game looks interesting but im not currently willing to pay large sums for any game residually or lump sum. I would however pay $10 to support the game once and perhaps remove some skill caps?

what is the devs opinion on changing payment in the future?

most games drop the initial payment for the game after it's been out a while and they have enough players supporting it with a monthly/sub - if this game ever goes ftp I'd have to find another game - however I don't see that happening.

$15/month for unlimited game time (after purchasing the game and the first month is free) is nothing! you can't even go see a movie and buy popcorn/drink for that little money any more.

Sadly same here, this game will not work as a free game unless they split the servers then it will not work because to few people.

Sure fire way for me to leave is make this free so anyone can come in terraform around your place, cut trees, build roads anywhere they would like. Now at least people have to pay for it, and you can track them down and punish them if you care too. If it goes free I dont see how you could keep up with the randoms coming in and tearing up the place.

Why not 10monthly

10 monthly - Would be less scary investment, indeed :>

I would come back for 10$ a month. I'm not kidding.

AGREE WITH YOU KeithStone. I rather play this game than going out somewhere and spending more money on booz in a bar!!!

I don't mind pay $0.50 per day. It is pretty affordable entertainment.

The initial cost could be reduced. I only say this as I was on the fence originally with this game and many of my gaming friends are still not sure whether to take the plunge. They're mature older gamers who do have a choice at the moment and are currently doing free beta testing elsewhere.

It's up the developers at the end of the day, it's their business plan in operation. The reduced download cost and months play might well be good move after they have sorted the server out of course.

When I talk to people who are into "sandbox" games and try and talk to them about this one. They all say "its to much to get, 40 bucks is to much."

Then I tell them they blow that every other week on games like Diablo III, Skyrim, or any other title that is an offline game that they finish in a week or two.

Not to say those are bad games (quite the oppossite they are great games) but they are way more expensive when you think about the initial cost and the amount of time vs cost you get out of it.
