A better way of offering a "free to play" version

Got a great new idea for the game?

A better way of offering a "free to play" version

Postby Articsledder » Mon Aug 27, 2012 10:44 pm

People seem to be upset about splitting the community, so my suggestion is to offer the same game to Free to Play players, except don't give them any of the new weapons/equipment. They wouldn't be able to use the RPG and HMG, gain HP/Ammo from crates, and possibly limit all the existing ammo they have by half.

I fully expect this idea to get tons of flak from people who can't buy the game, but face it, your not gonna be able to get everything with this update. Either it's be split up and get nothing, or get nothing but still stick with the community.

maybe a good idea, this is really just .76 except you get to see other people play 1.0 first hand if you dont pay.

For example person A could have 1.0 and person B only has 0.76. The person with 1.0 deploys a MG and he dies by a guy who doesnt have 1.0. Does that mean the 0.76 guy can use the MG?

If we did this, we'd need 1.00 servers, and 0.76 servers. You cannot have People who payed rampaging with RPG's on the small arms insurgents of the pinpoint town

I never said it was necessary, ben can add it if he wants. HMG's and RPG's aren't going to change the game that much. You seem to forget that this is a team based game as-well.

Your assuming that all the paid players are going to pile into 1 team.

In the case of the HMG I think it would work if Free players can use placed ones, but cannot place there own (this is assuming the owner has the ability to kick anyone else off). If vehicles they are added they could be passengers but not drivers.

And maybe there should be platinum and gold servers, platinum is for people who didnt pay. And gold are for people who did and they get all the new features. When people who want to play on platinum servers, who payed, get a a gold name or a custom color they want for the name.

But platinum is usually regarded as best than gold. I rather have just plain "Premium"(people who paid) and "Normal"(those who didn't) servers.

Gold is shit compared to platinum you know what they say "Man wanted to turn lead into gold, but we wanted to turn gold into platinum"

I would choose gold because it is more valuable.

Then I would now change platinum to silver, gold is worth more than silver.
