From what i have seen and read on here the game is free you only pay £10 to unlock certain features
maybe storage
certain caves
only when the game is live we are really going to see how it truly is implanted and how it works
While true, the game heavily revolves around crafting. You are literally caked in resources, from map fragments, to multiple rarities across like 6 different crafting menus. The storage is barely enough to manage it all....you won't be doing it with storage locked behind a pay wall lol.
You will be paying £10 if you want to play it properly, or you will be heavily crippled.
Ultimately, if it doesn't work early on, its not like he can't then just turn it into a VIP system and allow more free to play features.
I like the fact people are trying new things to see what does and doesn't work as a model for a server
This is Mir
If the player count isn't there at the start, it won't be there at all, even if he turns it off. Most already know this model doesn't work, it's only Sanj that wants to try it. While I understand the direction in order to make it fair, it's just not going to work on this community lol.
I never part with my money until I know for sure it's not a quick con, considering what is so easily permitted on this forum now as well. If you got enough people doing the same thing, you by default have a lesser player base. These servers are driven by player quantity, you put your server behind a paywall and you immediately cripple it out of the gate.
