Pocket Legends II

[Faq]

This it a message I sent to Remim about an idea I had. Pardon the grammar and spelling errors. Just wanted to see what the community thinks about this idea.


Remim,

First off I want to thank you for the amazing game that you and the rest of STS have produced. I have spent a decent portion of the last 4 years of my life spending time and money on this amazing game. Non of this I regret because it has given me memories and happy times.

Now I want to present an idea to you. Today, Pocket Legends has been over run by trolls, scammers, and other people who just don't care about others. When Pocket Legends first came out, many people will tell you that there was much less of this stuff going on. As time went by more and more people turned to the evil side so to speak.

This brings me to my next point. PL's glory days are long past it. I am 35 and often here the expression "He's trying to re-live his glory days." Who is to say that PL cant try this to. Im not sure if this is true, but if you saved all the old coding from the start of PL you have pretty much all you need to start fresh.

On the forums moderators always reply that 3rd party investors don't want to invest money into PL because they think it is a lost cause. In its current trajectory I think that they are right. But what I am talking about could give you a chance to show the investors there is still more to PL. If you created a PL two think of the opportunities it would open up.

First off it would take a lot of man power to start this new game but think past to the long term rewards of this. You would not have to spend creative energy on Pl for four almost 5 years while you recycle old content. You always hear old players on the forums complaining how they are nostalgic and miss the good ol' days. Well why not try and give it to them.

I'm a major in statistics so I don't know anything about codeing. But I'll try and estimate here. Lets say the current cap gets complaints about PL off your back for one year. Then people will just start complaining again. What I'm talking about is a possible fix for 4 years! Here correct me if im wrong. Say that all the work put into to recycling the codes and creating a new game equals the man power it takes to make a new cap. I may be wrong on the amount of time it will take to make a new game, but either way the rewards are high.

Now I want to talk about the problem everyone at STS might think which is, will it bring good revenue. I say yes. If you created a new PL from scratch it might not be worth it. But the amount of time saved I think will make it a good investment. Please don't take offense, but that is what seams to be the question for STS when creating new content. "Will we make money?" In this case I think the answer is yes.

When this game is released I think people will spend quite a bit of plat. I think this Because now-a-days in PL everyone is jealous of the oldies with their COP's and the SOH's and such. So I think this game presents a chance for people to get what they could not in Pocket Legends. I think people will spend lots of money farming and leveling so when the elite caps roll around, they have the edge that they never had.

This presents with a opportunity to make a lot of money off the people who wan to be the best. If you make the xp requirements pretty high it will scare people off. But if you make them to low, you won't make as much money. So here it will be important to find a good balance between average players and platinum spenders. This is because people spend platinum to fell superior over others. But if there are no non plat spenders there will be no one to feel superior over.

If you do create a pl two I think it gives you two option for the current pl. You can either let it continue or, cut it. Naturally, both of these options have negative effects. First, if you do not cut it, then money will be wasted on servers that are under capacity because hopefully people will be playing Pl II. However if you do cut it then people will be very mad to see there money go to waste and the achievements of PVp and Pve go to waste. At first I would say that you don't own anything but this would anger people obviously.

So I think the second best option would be to create some sort of algorithm that takes an accounts overall value and turns it into a promo code that can be redeemed on the new PL for platinum. Kills in both Pve and Pvp, gold, platinum, and items would all be taken into account in this algorithm.If you are confused I'll give an example. Say you hade 10 million gold on your account. This could be redeemed on your new PL II account for 1000 plat. Hopefully this will ease the emotions that will come with losing you hard work.

I know this is a lot to read and I appreciate it if you read it all but also understand it if you can not.

Thank you for considering this Remim.

AL is PL2, fantasy based mmo without the design flaws but with lessons learned from PL, SL, DL. As long as AL is working well I see no point in AL2/PL3.

Okay

[Fusionstrike]

I couldn't really figure out what you meant by "PL 2". I think what you're proposing is basically a giant "reset" so everyone plays PL all over from scratch. It would be the same content, but everyone would be forced to start over.

This would be a terrible thing to do. Most of the people who are still here hang around because of their investment, i.e. what they have earned here. If everything were suddenly gone, I expect the vast majority would simply quit. I know I would no longer want to play if all my work over the years were simply gone. Why start earning it all over again when it might just get reset out of existence again someday?

In short, the game is only interesting as long as you get to keep what you've earned. Take that away and there's no "there" there.

If there was a way to transfer everything I invested to into "PL 2" from PL, then I'd be happy. It would be sweet if PL was just revamped with a new engine.

Seems to me the main purpose for your version of PL2 is for players that missed previous cap vanities, black dragons and all those discontinued items to get them again. I am sure quite a number of players wouldnt want that. Feeling bigger n taller than the next man is what makes ppl spend time n money in any game. Reset that and i think the love affair will be over.

Just my views, thanks.

If sts could find a way to get say 300 play out of all those who try to get cap vanities on pl 2 the I think they could make some pretty good money. You could be right though

BUM BUM BUUUUUM al is not pl2 at all, al was sts's 2'nd worst decision (right behind DL) :p imo, bcuz others will say I'm a nub, but honestly, al is a money magnet more than a game, you just gotta have it all.

Hello!

Alright before this thread gets locked for derailment or whatever it's called. Can we have more comments like Cak Vaders?

I completely agree with you. 1. I think AL is a total money vacuums, props to sts for making it that way. 2, Dl was a strange game that I think never really took off. I think they used all three legend games that they have made and put all the highlights in to Arcane Legends which I think it is why it makes so much money.

I hope there would not be locked crates in a hypothetical PL 2. But hopefully sts could find a way to make some money off of it.

U said it, AL is a money magnet, it's stgs most successful game.

So why should they try to fix something that isn't broken? There's no reason for them to make a PL 2 as AL makes so much money to them. Making a new game is a huge investment and after 4 mmos worth of testing I highly doubt they will make another MMO in the near future. U know, stg is a business, not Santa Claus who grants everyone their wishes.

I completely agree with you. I know that AL is sts's biggest and they are not about to funnel time and money Into a game they don't even know will succeed. But like all good things Al willcome to an end or come to a point where it has lost player interest. I might not have said before but this is not a short term fix to pl but something that is 2 maybe 3 years out before it is a possibility.

[angeldawn]

Sorry FAQ there is nothing that STS could give me in your new version of a game to compensate for all my efforts, years of devotion and tens of thousands of plat spending. If they did this and cut off my current accounts. It would finally be the end of my STS playing and supporting days :)

Btw the Devs have said AL is PL2.

And please keep your horrible opinion that plat users use plat to be superior, to yourself. It's untrue and only ppl who can't buy plat would say such a thing.
