Did you think about selling PLAY TIME ?
IMHO
I think if you care not only about money and about your community too - you should think about selling play time in portions of 24\48\96\192 (etc) of play time.
Selling subscription for a month > its beneficial only to you not the community...
Nice avatar.

I asked about whether we should do this in the latest announcement post. I don't mind the idea.

Selling gametime would only be good if they keep the unlimited up, and have gametime priced cheaply compared to unlimited.

Just curious, and I'm not sure if this has been answered or not, but does playtime rollover? Once I run out of my initial play time and the time from being verified, will I only ever be able to have a max of 14 hours?

Wait wait... So we should increae the cost of subscriptions because you want to pay for play time? How does that make any sense? When you get to the point that these two things are equal, don't you think its just time to subscribe?
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

So much complaining. After playing countless hours for free in legacy, I happily paid to verify and subscribe.

Unless youre playing 24/7, you will always lose some hours to subscription. If anything, gametime should be more expensive than subscriptions to make up for those lost hours.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

selling game time will really only work if the game time you buy, stack with what you get - say, you bought 24 hours - don't play until start of the week - and you get those 7 or 14 "extra" - instead of having them "override" the time you bought.

But really, this is what I personally would want - as it's a cheaper way for me who dont play "as much" as others to support the game - without feeling tied to a sub system.
Because I DO want to support the game. I want to buy verified acc as well - now with the increased rewards.

Since time is the most important factor in getting stronger and playtime is now limited for free users, Jorbtar clearly decided to make this game pay2win. Its his choice and we have to live with it :)
people with limited funds should stick to those with money now. CAPITALISM HO

You could just have the extra gametime stored in a separate 'stash', which is only used once your weekly quota hits zero.
