NaemaMicro-payments system let you buy thing in an item shop / in your player account.Question 1. What do you guys mean about a micro payment system, and how will it help Ryzom? Be specific please.
It could be skin, mount, useless pet, virtual money witch can be use to pay your monthly account or any stuff sell by players in the IG market.
By using virtual money in the IG market you send virtual money to players who have sell items, then he can use this virtual money to pay his monthly account or buy something else.
Unfortunately, these's not market on Ryzom :(
By the way I strongly disagree with Seto, yes items shop may sell all IG items and even over-boosted items that did not exist and should not exist, but that only append if the entire Ryzom staff have no brain and really really want to kill the game for ever, pay2win really sucks nobody want that on Ryzom.Money come from monthly account and donate via paypalQuestion 2. Yeah, a f2p system sounds nice for players, but how is Ryzom paid for? How are Devs paid for to fix game, provide new content, events, not to mention add expansion packs, maybe new worlds, maybe new lands, new NCP maurauders and gear, all the new stuff mention in Ideas forum within Lore guidelines?
Money has to come from somewhere.
It's not enough as we can all see, development of the game in all part is really slow, few more people payed in the staff would increase the speed of all development.
BTW micro-payment do not mean that monthly account should be drop.
(Side note : I witch to be able to pay more on my montly account in order to donate without give money to paypal each time)
Proposal here > Add donate in monthly account payment
Well said Azram, subscription and micro payment systems can have a symbiotic relationship, games like Rift has embraced both systems and still make a larger profit each financial year.
we all want to see this old gem of a game live for another 12 years, but there needs to be more paid development into the game to keep it alive, relying on volunteers to do all the work doesn't cut it for a game that's on steam.
