Game Development: A Far Green Country

[jorb]

if you want a big player population...consider a f2p game

What does this big population do for me? Put food on my table?

If not, then why would I want it? A crowd is an intrinsic negative that needs to be compensated for with upsides and positives, if there is to be one.

A big population bots, sends me messages demanding support, puts a load on the server, looks to ruin the game in every way imaginable, &c&c.

I, for my part, am happy derping around in Haven all by myself.

Ok I'll probably be beaten to death here by the mob, but they said that the in game currency would be counted down for your time correct? I've only played for a few minutes, but in that time i never saw that item. Maybe I just wasn't looking in the right spot.

If I were you I wouldn't claim that item until everything is somewhat stable. That item they talk about I am assuming is like EVE onlines PLEX. Except that in Haven there is no actual currency. Currency is player made.

I think they did a good job. Very innovative way of monetization.

People can still play for free lol. And 10 dollars USD is like 5-8 coffees a month. Atleast where I am from.

P2P > F2P + shitty/gamebreaking cashshop items

F2P + a lot of appearance items/bonuses for 0,99€ > P2P > F2P + shitty/gamebreaking cashshop items

In germany costs a coffe 2.50€. so its like nealry 3 dollar
But thats not the point, if i go and wanna buy a coffe, i know that i need to pay. But if i wait for HnH 2.0 and think its for free and BOOM, it costs 15$ a month. its too hard, sorry. they broke my hearth.

What I meant was that I haven't actually seen a counter anywhere

I don't think derping around in Haven all by yourself will put food on the table either.

Of course not, but in that case that just means I shall have to go look for other gainful employment. I'd like to take one more crack at this first, though, as I really enjoy doing it.
