the other is powered by a micro-payment system & full time payed job witch make a huge difference
Agreed, there are other games like rift that offer both subscription and Ingame shop, they make most money from The micro payment system,
Even monthly subscriptions can be bought from the shop and traded to other players for I game currency.
While this move is a step in the right direction and we can debate the merits of the move, it would be helpful to see the financial budget for ryzom.
Hopefully someone higher up reads our feedback makes a executive decision to move the game to a modern system for generating funds and hiring staff to develop the game.
While it's fine to say ryzom is a dynamic world and a sandbox, it still needs expansions and new content to keep a thriving highly active community.
The bottom line is pretty simple recent servays of MMO players has shown that 70% to 80% of them don't want to pay a monthly subscription free. While others have shown that the same players spend nearly twice as much in a micro payment system.
