Buy Extra Time?

[Virulentation]

So, I'm getting people telling me one thing or another. Does the extra time you can buy for 15$ give you 720hours of game time, or give you a month of unlimited time, in which, after a month, it'll cease to be?

[Hithroc]

720 hours.

[insanechef]

720 hours.

pretty sure it doesnt, any proof of this?

[painhertz]

720 hours.

It gives you the entire month. For Christ's sake it's just like Wow or any other for pay MMo.

it dosent worht for me then.. i barely will be able to play a few hours per week lol

Seems rather pointless NOT to get a subscription then. The other method just gives you a tradeable month for an extra 5 dollars. Hell, I could get a meal for that.

bah....
just make multiable accounts... this kind of game requires alts any way.

You're misleading him. It's better for him to not pay at all. Because no matter what you buy you're gonna get a subscription regardless of that unless you buy loose gametime.

So think about this

Many games are sold for a one-time cost, quite simply, and in an attempt to provide Haven & Hearth in some similar fashion, we're offering to Verify your Game Account in exchange for, precisely, a one time consideration of $15. With a Verified account you receive...

24 additional hours of Play Time, immediately on purchase
24 hours of Play Time refilled monthly
Full and unlimited access to the Old Legacy Haven & Hearth (for as long as it lives)
An in-game hat in honor of your verification

The $15 option isn't really there for you to play. Ostensibly it is there so you can buy other people playtime - so for instance if a valuable (the ever lovely nolifers) member of your village can't afford to sub that month, or just doesn't have plastic or paypal and so can't sub, you can get them a token to keep them working. Or you can buy them for gifts, and they'll probably lead to some pretty well attended tournaments one day with them as rewards assuming the new payment model doesn't kill the game.

In reality ofc they're there for p2w people. With a month token you'll be able to buy all the best items people can craft, in quantity. Unlike old haven where everyone who had stuff worth having also had all the OTHER stuff worth having (because they or their village mates had a ton of alts who were good at everything and run by bots), you can't craft a token. It's essentially a real-money transaction, but with the risk added of having it stolen (great risk because many people will set it as their goal after burning their first one or three months of sub to play forever without paying again). This is how jorbtar will actually keep Haven afloat I imagine, on the backs of these p2w people. They could have done it with just more reasonably priced cosmetics like tons of other MMOs do, but with the overpriced cosmetic options their best income will probably be people buying tokens to get bulk loads of high q food and lp items.

We can still hope that the sub model will cut down on the bots and alts somewhat tho, hopefully without denuding the population as soon as everyone's free time runs up, so there's that.
