Whales and IAP is a good thing

[unique river]

Whales and IAP may seem unfair but I'm the end of the day they keep the servers up and alive and who actually play the game for the world's like c'mon now

[robust dew]

Yessir money first 🤑🤑

[severe rose]

It's good but not during the first day, it takes away the opportunity for f2p players to grab rare names world. At least make it a week before putting the IAP to ensure fair competition across the world

[unique river]

If that's the case than they lose a big chunk of money , besides who plays the game for worlds like cmon

As a person in the cloud engineering field , servers are not cheap dawg

[severe rose]

"who plays the game for worlds", you can see the greed in every players message when they talk about whaling just to buy locks for the rare named worlds. If the whales in this game get the rare worlds, this game will be all the same as any other game of pay early to win. Losing opportunity for profit is better than losing the player's love for the game

[unique river]

I mean they paid cash for it and we don't like what do we argue here

We literally play games for entertainment, if they pay to have that so what brah

[severe rose]

yes and that's what destroys the fairness of the early game, you pay cash to gain the advantage in the late game

[unique river]

Besides rare world get expensive a long long time 2 years give or take

[severe rose]

yes and if you grab 50 worlds of that, what do you think will happen

[unique river]

Isok

[severe rose]

not okay bro, it increases the player imbalance. Imagine f2p working hard for a year then after a year the rare worlds is worth most of the time they gave to the game

[unique river]

But gotta remember , we didn't pay for the service of playing and entertainment and they do it's OUR choice to play or not

Beside do you rlly play the game for money only or the fun of with friends doing sbase or fishing

[severe rose]

yes it's OUR choice to play, do you think developers have a mindset like that? developers think of the player's experience. And I don't play this game for money, I play this game to beat the game by grinding on it. This game has economy as a mechanic and you think that getting rare world names easily will not imbalance that?

[robust dew]

The devs needs money too bruh the best way to get them is literally the start of the game

[unique river]

That's u twin , in the end of the day we get the game back and I would rather have the game alive and not caring for other ppl than to just whining that it's unfair lmao

[rain cypress]

iirc they run on amazon servers so if you know a thing or two about that then yeah

[unique river]

Exactly and it's a constant bill to pay each month

[rain cypress]

I mean what is the entire reason why they're relaunching the game in the first place? come on man, they're also doing this for money. they need the IAPs. unless they have other sources of in-come like merch but that'll only get a small range of customers.

[unique river]

Best case scenario, Whale pay for things they get money and as a f2p is unfair but they use money to pay debt and improve backend

[severe rose]

The game is already famous bro, that's a huge headstart for them. They said they want to give players the best experience, if they do the whaling system, the Economy will flunctuate

[unique river]

Isok brah

[rain cypress]

You gotta consider how this is also a business. Yes, you could say they're doing this for the community but why did they leave it in the first place anyway? They could've continued. Money is the issue here.

[unique river]

Yes precisely, and the issue with backend and anticheat

[rain cypress]

You'd think a free game can survive without IAPs or anything that requires buying

man screw it lemme research how a free game can actually earn money

[severe rose]

I didn't say they need to remove IAP's I just said that they should postpone it for a day or so then they can still earn while giving chance to the average players

[rain cypress]

Fair, having IAPs at the start of the game can greatly boost whales and give them an advantage in the economy. I have no counterpoint against that. Maybe someone else does.

What we need is how we'll postpone the IAPs for now.

[unique river]

Postpone = Losing out in thousands of dollars that they need to pay for servers , debt and employee

[unique river]

It's kinda hard to purposely missing out on a huge money , as long as they don't do a cash grab and just turn the server off in 1 year idm

[severe rose]

thank you, I get all your point too that they need the money to create a better environment, but I think of the game's community that's why I don't want IAPs in starting game

[rancid oar]

game is taking so long wth
