*Give out 1 platinum for every 30 days you log in straight. This supports the active player and is far from over the top.
*Give out 1 platinum for testing the Android version and pointing out bugs.
This would promote proper testing in the Beta, and it would promote Android users to stick around for at least 30 days to get the full experience and be at the cost of just 2 platinum, which is good enough to buy one lowly thing in the item-mall.
While I'm not screaming for free plat, to me something like this sounds like a prefect balance/plan if you're going to do it. It's not enough to over do it.Originally Posted by Varking
On this old game I played you could do this free program (forgot what it was called) that ran on your computer and if you did it for a while you got a special item.
This could be similar for plat. If you guys have any company/cause that you support, running a simple program on your computer or something like that that benifited the company/cause could work.
Maybe use game gold to buy plat, but I'm talking lots of it. 500K gets 3plat. Gives the lvl 50's something to do while you work on new townes and campaigns. Also helps keep the money system in check. Maybe?
Trick O Treating as a dev gets you 5 plat.
A 50 dollar itunes giftcard gets you 800 plat.
A 100 dollar itunes gift card gets you 1600 plat.
not everyone makes $40,000 a year mowing lawns like you do twink...
I have no problem supporting the devs by purchasing some platinum for additional dungeons, etc. With no monthly fee I think it's a fair trade off.
However I do agree that a few of the items are a little over priced. Auction slots, etc. I also agree that changing your card should be a one time add on, and you should be able to tweak it all you want after that.
Overall it's a decent balance, a good value and a great game. Props to the devs for listening to concerns and responding.
Its good to see the devs be open with the plat issues. As of now, the prices for customization are very expensive. Hopefully, as more people join the game, the prices can be reduced. I expect that price cuts will happen when the game becomes bigger with more members in the PL community. There is probably a reason that customization costs are expensive. The devs probably need more cash to implement more features to the game. They also need the money to survive.
give out 1 free plat for every time u download an app STS gets paid to advertise..like tapulous
Maybe we PL could get the whole world in shape! 1 plat for every mile you run, every 200 pushups and every time you give someone named conradin 1,000,000 gold.
RIP Twinktastic
AEO is the way to go~now recruiting
i Agree with bjordan.
Read a bit more back story to the company and you discover where the STS engine has it's origin. Hint: development contract, Ngsoft seed money for a big assed PC MMO that NGsoft pulled out of, tada you own your own big assed MMO engine and some serious coin to pursue your dreams.
PL doesn't really need votes, or more exposure, since word goes around so fast just by word of mouth.
Money = Happy STS = happy Devs = Happy players
i think advertising, free plats or gold for plats would ruin the game. Active Players, and newcomers will be buying less Plats and the new master quest to hardcore gamers will be "get everything free." Then Devs got sad and adios updates. lol
For now buying campaign bundle II (20p) +all 3 AO (10p+10P+20p) + 2 Elites quest cost (8p+8p) we end with a total of 76 plats, well played, so for that 1 plat you need you go for the 165 Plat.
then you spend 5 P on inventory 10 P stash slots 20p on CTF, reroll stats time 10P ( by the way there should be a 3 time pack, one for each class) Buy a third character Slot 5P 131
We end with spending 131 Platiniums, as a "minimum" to experience the game at his full range. ( saddly i think that Vanity items and auction slots are way to expensive)
So the best "Deal" right now is to buy 165 Plats, and well that's mean 15,99 euros and that's a LOT for a mobile game.
the 10 euros psycologic barrier is far reached.
1-there should be a mega package with all the existing maps for 70 Plats.
Spending 7,99 euros on the 75 plats is Ok it's a meal for a regular person in any fast food for 2.
and your not frustrated when you friends invite you in AO or Frozen nightmares.
2- there should be a Alien Oasis Pack for 25 or 30P
for the peoples (like me) that allready purchased Campaign Bundle II (and the frustration that it involve later.lol)
3- A 15 plats bundle for both Elites quests. Since they are not neccessary to level-Up.
well this is a mobile mmorpg but its scalable and comparable to a real mmorpg which allows u to play using your mobile..
i think if STS now charges 5 dollars amonth to play... i'm sure there will still be loads of ppl playing...
if you want to buy a game and play alone at home like angry birds then go and do so... they are cheap. 1.99 thats all.
Thers an age old business slogan that goes, "It's far easier to keep the customers you have than to find new ones to replace them." Giving players an option to trade large sums of gold for small amounts of plat hopefully would keep the current old school players happy, and they would still spend money to buy plat when new updates come out. Making them wait months for new campaigns to purchase leaves time for them to grow tired of the game, see no more value in playing, and eventually quitting. Giving a few small plat freebies just to keep them around seems logical to me.
hmm, sorry but I'm not saying i don't want to spend money on this game, lol. I'm saying that i don't agree with this free platinium suggestion. And i really want to support this game to see how good it can be.
So, as an alternative to "non-buying-players-because-it-looks-pricy" (wich I admit is maybe not really the point here), smarter bundles would do the trick.
Dirtball got a point, explained like this it make sense to me. Rewarding active and veteran customers/players like a "Players of the month" thing could be very interessting.
After thinking further I feel that an in game plat award might be best, to be spent on specific ultra epic gear that may only give 1 more H/S or armor but looks cool. Only way to get it is to achieve certain goals. 10,000 kills = 1 plat award., 50,000= 2, completing all quests = 1. Give longer term players rewards for staying, give them something to look forward to and "show off" in game as they run around townes., etc. New players would be wanting to buy all the new packs at full price because they have a goal...to get what that guy has.
I didnt read all the comments, so idk if someone said this, but its a good idea in my opinion. So, as they do in other apps, they give promotion for other apps. EX: Download ____ and get ____ plat. Ik other apps do this and THEY GET PAID to promote these apps. So spacetime earns money and we earn plat. WHY NOT?
