Add temporary non-cosmetic microtransactions

Postby shubla » Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:48 am

Devs need more money to work on the game. We should temporarily add more microtransactions so they can get some money, then remove them when they have done some good work on the game.

Got some ideas already:
  • Teleportation scroll - Have you always wanted to skip the boring travel and finish your nomad quick? This scroll will allow you to teleport to any non claimed area for just 5 $
  • Halve study time of curios 1$
  • Empty stomach (300% hunger) 10 cents for each reduced %
  • Skip credo quest without penalty 2 $
  • Encounter with mammoth didn't end well? Full character revive 20 $
  • Death wand - Kill a KO'd opponent for 20 $

Fucks sake that sounds cancerous. Cosmetic only is preferable compared to this.

Just put the donate button back on the website. If you want to send more money, then you can send more money.

but most everyone runs more than one account, I think. Just get more gold subs or have a contest and give away store hats, tokens, and sketch pages.

The problem is not lack of ways to give money, but lack of incentive to do so.

-1.
Microtransactions kills games, altering every essential mechanic, and making traditional ways of achieving anything harder without them.
I'm happy that J&L are not persons fond of quick money earnings.

But it would be just a temporary act, and afterwards the game would be much improved, as devs would have worked on it full time for a long time.

Working on it full time because they're working on trivial features and content they'd otherwise have not touched, or improved because the core of the game saw a good bit of improvement to processes, balance, etc?

There's a saying... something along the lines of... "Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution."

And microtransactions that give personal advantage are a sure way to get more money in short term, by destroying the essence and the future of the game.
