Hello,
I m new and french on this game.... I think you have make a very good job with this game and most people are interresting to play this RPG but you need to make it free....

I ve a suggestion for this :
Make a Paypal system and Card system into the game and on your web site in making a PowerUp station with different Bonus Pack (xp rate 20% trading price lest 20% TransportShip granted with more Cu....)for on 1 month.
The player give you money if he wants for get gold in game or choose a Bonuspack but game is free and more player come.
Exemple : If you make 3 bonuspack...
One pack's name : ShipPack 5$ : with them you can have 20k gold
in game and 500 gold in PowerUp station.
Two pack's name : CommanderPack 12$ : with them you can have 40k gold in game 1200 gold in PowerUp station and 20% XP bonus.
Third pack's name : MasterCommanderpack 20$ : with them you can have 60k Gold in game 2000 gold in PowerUp station and 30% XP bonus and a Mega Transport Ship.
Ok the PowerUp station is a Duty free for the game and after game you can sell T-shirt and weapon bonus armor bonus and other product. This system is using By Knight Online

Ok it's all.
I ve a French Portal(http://french-frogs.forumactif.com/) with a lot of Free game and i m making lot's of propagand and i hope i can make it for this game but he have to be free....

Very good game......Thks for answer...

You must be new to the game. Where are you coming up with this notion of "gold" as a means of trade. Sorry but your lack of english makes it hard to understand completely what your trying to convey in this post but from what I can piece together I'd have to say that this is a bad idea all the way around.

Welcome to Vendetta Online, colonel5049.

I personally don't like the idea of paying for in game benefits because it gives advantages to those with more money to blow. As it is we are all on equal footing when it comes to in game content, and I'd like to see it stay that way.

Part of the reason there are so few players online is that VO is an underground game with no formal marketing. That may change once more content is added.

The game can't be free because the four devs have to eat, after all. Feed Your Incarnate!

Hello,
I m new and french on this game.... I think you have make a very good job with this game and many people are interresting to play this RPG but I think you should make it free....

I ve a suggestion for this :
Make a Paypal system and Card system into the game and on your web site. A kind of "premium acces" with different Bonus Pack (xp rate 20% trading price lest 20% TransportShip granted with more Cu....)for on 1 month.
Players give can pay to get gold in game or to choose a bonus pack. As the game is free you have more players on the servers and many of them should be ready to pay for bonus packs, so u can make much more money that if everyone must pay. Thats really working on many games like Runescape or Knight Online wich may be the reference in this way of earning money with a game.

Exemple : You could make 3 bonuspack...
first pack = ShipPack 5$ : with them you can have a 20k bonus gold

Second pack : CommanderPack 12$ :
Player earn 40k gold in game and 20% XP bonus.

Third pack: MasterCommanderpack 20$ :
Player earn 60k Gold in game 2000 gold in PowerUp station and 30% XP bonus and a Mega Transport Ship.

Players are used to want good items ingame and many are ready to use real money to get good items.

I ve a French Portal(http://french-frogs.forumactif.com/) making ad for a lot of Free game and i would make it for Vendetta Online if it was free, that could help a litlle bit.

Very good game......Thks for answer...

I ve make a Correct version lol...

the developers have the payment for the game set up the way they want it to be. At this time they arent TRYING to get more people comming into vendetta, because its not really ready for a large userbase yet.

At no point do i think that banner advertizing and "free" sections should be considered for this game, much less a situation where people with more money get an advantage over those without a lot of money.

you also obviously havent played very much, because cash is severely easy to get in-game, and there is NO reason for a pricing scheme like this anyhow.

seriously if $10 USD is more than you can afford then perhaps online gaming should be a second or third choice of activity for you, (getting a job should be the first choice, because 10 bucks is a meal at your favorite fast food restaraunt twice a month, hardly a fortune)

Lol...
First i ve a job and this is a Idea(suggestion), the Bonus pack can be everything other.
Most people who make online game can't or wouldn't pay for playing. But this system works with a lot of people. All the Online EGAME works with this system and they are very rich .....

And maybe i will pay for on month but i need to ask all my Guild
"FrenchFrogs" if they want to pay for play this game, because we are 6 players of my Guild who have make 8 hours trial.
But i didn't think that they want....

""Most people who make online game can't or wouldn't pay for playing""

have you perhaps heard of "Everquest"(1 or 2)? "Ultima Online"?, "EVE"?, "Star Wars Galaxies"?, "Earth and Beyond"(now closed down.. damn EA)?

This is meant to evenutally become a true MMORPG, and its pricing is quite reasonable for what it is now. However if you dont feel that what you get is worth the price that is being asked, you are free to choose not to pay, you just cant play then. I'm not really trying to be mean about it, (well maybe just a little) but this topic pops up every week, usually by someone who has no real idea about the amount of time that has gone into making this game.

This is NOT a java game or applet that you download and then runs on your home computer like most of the EGAMES, with some online storage point for stats and the like. It requires an actual server, running 24/7 that multiple people can connect to and pass data to and from during the course of the game, which uses significantly more bandwidth per player than a download model. servers cost money to run, money that comes from player subscriptions, additionally the developers need to be paid for thier time while continuing to work on the game.

Play Knigth online and look their system of Money income...
They have make so much money that they change their Graphics in the game.
And i repeat, i just making a suggestion.
And i play 5 years on Everquest 1 on Karana server.

I want to play this game with all my friend (guild) but all can't pay for play so i m making idea for your devellopement.

sigh, possibly because english is not your main language you dont seem to be grasping what i'm saying, or maybe you just cant express your thoughts well enough for me to understand what you are saying.

either way, this suggestion has been made repeatedly, and is not a particularly viable buisness model for guildsoftware, so it is unlikely to ever be implemented.

on a side note, FM it really needs to end up on the "please read prior to posting" thread, as i didnt see it in there when i went looking, theres one for family discounts and one for hourly pricing, but the "make some version of vendetta free" threads arent listed.

The whole suggestion is based on the fact that some of his "guild" is unable or unwilling to pay the monthly fee, so he suggests that the game be free, sounds reasonable right? >_>

now spellcast, lets not get rude. We simply need to tell this [rudeness deleted - FM] that their idea is a bad one and that it will NEVER go into effect.

ok good ...
I m going of this forum for speak with adult and not with you.
And that is very bad, man who insult people who try to speak your langage. I think you can't speak french. Ok....
And i repeat this is a suggestion not a order...
I m just try to give you information to have a lot of people and another system to make a lot of money

pardon me, i dont recall insulting your language, I merely stated that we dont appear to be communicating, and postulated a reason for it.
If you felt that was an insult to your english skills.. well that wasnt my intent, but you are welcome to think so if you want. And no, I dont speak french.. my language choices in school were German and Spanish, I took 2 years of each to get the basics, but where I live i don't really get to use them and its been 10 years since I was in school.

Thats all beside the point however, back on topic:

I will repeat:

this has been suggested repeatedly.
it is NOT going to happen.
the developers looked into a pricing model such as this and decided it was not right for them.

thank you for your contribution, and welcome to vendetta online.

Can we cut the rudeness? This is the Suggestions forum and it needs to be a safe haven in order to be useful. You can disagree with suggestions, but no need to get all personal and nasty. Remember that I have been reading nearly ALL the posts on the board since it began and yet I refrain from making personal remarks about the author.

colonel: Right now Guild requires the funds generated by Vendetta in order to continue to develop features for the game. Special offers for free time might be an option once Vendetta is more complete.

I agree, this should make it into the "Read First" thread. I'll put it there soon (which is sooner than Soon).

i am so very sorry FM. I was merely trying a new route to making this person understand that their suggestion was not a good one. I am sure that they have many other great ideas, but alas this one must be passed on.

It is a good suggestion but not for a game that doesn't have a basis in RP.
Noone would pay very long for a MOD.
Multiplayer Online Deathmatch.

But don't be deterred by all the vendetta elite's who think they're all that and a slice of pizza.

It *has* been done before to great effect, but the issue with the "Cash Shop" model is that the players attracted to such benefits are the "hardcore"- 8+ hours a day on the same game- players. Vendetta currently has little in the way of long-term goals to achieve, so it would not be feasable.
