Game Development: Salem & Haven

[TheKingdomOfSpork]

Please don't do a cash shop. Or if you do, at least make it so a rich person can't make himself near-invincible or something.

Like stated before, nothing wrong with a cash shop if the buyable stuff is purely cosmetic.
Anyway, I'd rather pay than see a cash shop at all :p

It'll start off with cosmetic items only, I presume, but surely the publishers will get the bright idea to make even more money by selling Salem's equivalent of q9001 thanes.

do you actually believe that jorb would allow such a thing? please don't make me look up the relevant posts, i'm sure you've already read them.

I hope they find a suitable pay mode for Salem... I think the classic one is the best in this case: "pay for a copy of that game -> play".

Other possible modes that I'm thinking:

- monthly fee: not compatible with permadeath
- cosmetic item shop: it's ok
- uber item shop: no please!
- pay for resurrect: hmm... I don't like it, griefers and pk's would ruin the game


Anyway, congrats to J&L, I hope your talent continues to bear fruit.

Since it's Paradox sponsored, I believe Paradox makes the decisions sabinati.

I have read them, which is precisely why I can't believe they opted for f2p. Monthly subscription or one-off purchase would make a lot more sense.

And developers are not really in a position to allow or disallow publishers to do something. If a developer doesn't want to play ball, the publisher will just find a different one.

Big huggy gratz!You deserved it and i hope Salem pays you well

[Butko]

Nooooooooooooooo no no not 3D....
Oh.. and we will have to pay for playing that probably monthly sub?

Can we get now free compiled personal server side Haven so we can save it if H&H will die?
