Price per slot?

[RedRyder]

Before name reservations come in, I'd like to know the pricing on character slots. When we all reserved for DL, none of us knew that it'd be $5+ per slot. I reserve two chars for dl and have yet to retrieve one of the names. Is it going to be DL price? Or like PL?

My guess is pl, since extra slots in dl were a way to disregard energy in a way. Since there is no energy in AL, I don't see a need for expensive characters

[wvhills]

I'm pretty confident it will be more like DL. Justg said plat prices are more in line with the market in DL so I think they'll stick with that pricing strategy. I also think that's why we're seeing a new game come out (AL) that is so similar to PL instead of just retrofitting PL- It's easier to start out with high plat costs/prices in a new game than to increase plat cost/prices in an existing game. All energy will go into the new higher priced DL and AL while PL and SL fade away. I had a good run in PL so I can't complain.

^ The oracle is correct. imo

[Sryyoulose]

Unfortuanately I think he may be right, that pisses me off because pl is amazing

[akfury]

that is just ridiculous not very many people can afford that and the few who can will just make a new email and account no point in spending 5$ on a new character

[Appleisaac]

If the prices of slots are as high as DL, I will not buying more then one slot.

[RedRyder]

I guess I'll be doing multiple emails then, as annoying as it is lol rob is correct then that makes a lot of sense.

RIP PL/SL

yeah its very annoying but the only reasonable option we have.. if there priced like sl or pl ill buy them

[Ardon]

Or maybe a compromise can be found that's in between pl/sl and dl.
Since the Dl prices were a bit justified being an older audience and from looks Al doesnt look like itll be rated M.

I agree that $5 for a new character slot is too much. I have three. I will certainly reserve two names. Even if I never play, I don't want others using them.

It cost more to buy the slots than to reserve them.

[Elyseon]

Idk why they cant price it the same as PL and SL...
I'm sure they make plenty of money with that pricing

But yeh if it's as plat draining as DL count me out :/

More$ for plat
More expensive plat gear
Plat draining lotteries with low chances
Character slot price multiplied by 10
Can't even stash much to your other characters

Sry but with same theme as PL I'll just stay in Alterra

I really hope Robert is wrong. They should stick to the same prices as PL & SL. They still make a good amount of money from them.
Look at the Mother's Day bouquet weekend for example

[CENTER]A huge THANK YOU to all the players of Pocket Legends and Star Legends who purchased Mother's Day Bouquets to support our recent fund raising drive on Mother's Day weekend. Almost 3,000 Bouquets were sold and Spacetime Studios pitched in to round the fund raising up to an even $5,000 donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in support of their mission to find prevention and a cure for breast cancer! You guys are awesome; thank you again!

PL

Plus, you'll feel great inside knowing that 50% of sales go to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's mission to achieve breast cancer prevention and a cure in our lifetime.

SL

Plus, you'll feel great inside knowing that 50% of sales go to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's mission to achieve breast cancer prevention and a cure in our lifetime.

It was 3 days long & they gave half their profits to breast cancer research(which was really cool) They made about $10,000 from these 3 days. That's like $5,000 from each game on a weekend. That's not bad at all
I really hope they do keep their plat prices same as their first 2 games...

[octavos]

I believe Robert for the major reason the 2k plat option was going away permanently. Sam has stated that StS always are viewing the value per plat..so yea...I believe AL will fallow DL or even higher. But it depends what people will buy the most...eg: PL/SL=elix DL=vanitys and AL=? It would be safe to say that each game has to have a certain nitch to be profitable.

But I agree with Red, we need to know how much so we can plan ahead.

[Elyseon]

AL's gonna be like $50 for 100 plat :P

[akfury]

AL's gonna be like $50 for 100 plat :P

if it is im done with STS

[RedRyder]

Well, I just hope the best weapons in game can't be bought. SL and DL are looking like the supreme/wallet-friendly choices. Unfortunately, pl is/has reached its creative limit, and SL will as well (if they ever even get content haha. You guys are going through PL's sewers phase).

If we want fresh, cool, content, we might have to depend on DL and AL, at least until they start work on yet another game nearing AL's next cap raise. It's looking like games > content :/.

PL and SL are so similar and DL and AL need additional features like World of warcraft. Its longevity and additional stuff has made it great and well known. addon to a game that everyone loves to make it the best. PVP and PVE is the extent of these games. I want one to be great (EG: traveling, bigger citys, encourage role playing, more stuff, mounts....ect..) I believe thats why blizzard hasn't created world of starcraft or world of diablo ect...but we hope as time moves forward that these will be thought long and hard. (Apk files or files for iOS shouldn't matter since 16-32Gb can now fit on a phones memory card) i play other large games on my phone just fine (starfront, asphalt 6, heavy gunner, GTA III, gezz the list can go on.) point being is games can be huge if StS would let them

[RedRyder]

I think it's due to their engine. If it can take that kind of gaming lol.

[octavos]

I think it's due to their engine.

well time for an upgrade wouldn't you say....engines can be modified and changed...like Quake (since inception, the game mechanics haven't changed)
a AL statement said things will be bigger and more populated...so maybe thats where the games are headed. hopping for a large world with tons more to do.
Not just kill, wait, buy elix, kill some more. ect...i want to kill chat, maybe play in a carnavel games win gold (nuris place ), full world PVP, guild wars, ect...

Based on JustG's statement, I also believe that the new pricing of DL will carry over to any new endeavor that STS embarks on from this point forward. They could be making more money in their eyes so to focus on newer and more expensive games would be the lucrative choice.

My major issue with this is the fact that PL has supported the other STS games from the beginning and to abandon ship at this point because there is more money to be made elsewhere bothers me to no end. It is unfortunately supported by the fact that DL is already receiving a client update, which is currently in review with Apple:



There is also the evidence that DL gets new vanity/gear updates regularly (Firebrand/Plagued/Ecliptic Moon gem/Electric Headsman/Biomorph...) compared to a few weekend/holiday events... and SL's Prometheus event. I know that there have been a few others I'm missing, but the bulk of content has been going the way of the new contender, while the founders are being left in the dust. Mount Fang went live in November of last year and since then PL has really failed to release any new content. While SL has been waiting since December, I though Star Legends was STS' baby, the game that they wanted to launch but had to place on the back burner, this is how important the game is to the devs now?

Finally, there is the final major issue of selling out your buying customers. I know that Apple somehow placed a road block in STS' path when they tried to make platinum universal currency; we lived with it then but now you asking us to leave thousands of plat just sitting in out virtual legends' pocket while the game goes under? I don't know what everyone else has but I have at least 1k in both games that I would love to be able to cart to a newer, fresher game with more frequent updates. Can't we implement anything to bypass that? A website option, a one time large amount transfer, something, anything? How can you expect us to place our faith in your company when our money may have an expiration date?

And this, my friends, is a reverse quotation.
