Just wondering....

[JC/Raiden]

Was there ever plans for this server to be subscribe to play before it opened? As I understand that the server ideally needs to bring an income of some kind in, but I'm just not a big fan of selling XP in the game shop. I personally believe it's the next worst thing you can do to selling Items.

I agree but pay monthly just to play won't work. An optional sub would. Jamie's cash shop is the best I've seen.

I would be happy to pay say 5 quid a month but they need to sort server out first. ATM its unbalanced, maps have issues
I can walk into a wall and be trapped, i'll pay to play but sort out the issues first

I always happily donate to new servers that i play but not here.

if we put in the same shop as zircon people will have massive advantage. That would make a low rate pure pay to win. Whats the middle ground, ideas welcome, but as it stands i dont see a problem with the gameshop

You earn currency to get them to

I haven't seen zircons cash shop but Marble was low rate and that cash shop was very good.

I think it had exp pots but they were 10% and still expensive I think. You also had a £5 weekly sub I think it was for 0-2 stats and 10% exp I think, also gave skill gains.

From a personal ideal perspective, I've only ever wanted cash shops to hold items of an aesthetic nature. I'd perhaps feel comfortable with Torch durabilty items which gave a tempory boost in stats for an hour or so but that's it, and certainly no xp pots as explained. I feel that should be saved for special events like Christmas etc.

So yeah as said before, I'd rather pay a £5 subscription or something a month to support you guys and the running of the server. I'm not saying everybody would be behind the idea, however I at least feel as though you and the team should have asked the community first before launching your server. Maybe you did already? I dunno.

Sadly, a pure cosmetic gameshop wouldn't make any money on Mir. Not to mention it would look so out of place on a low rate. IMO it's one of the cooler aspects of Mir to be the only one wearing X armour or X weapon.

Stat torches are okay, but then again, you'll get maybe 10% of the usercount buying them. Everyone wants an EXP pot now and then to boost some levelling. When they're £4 per, majority don't buy them. It's only during a promo sale people feel they're worth buying, and that's fine really. If they were dirt cheap all the time, then we'd have a problem. Atleast this way they can make money off the "whales" who'll pump cash into a server regardless.

Hunt gold.... Donaters donate, people who don't can earn their GG, just put it in jesus... Clearly just robbing people by not putting it in. Not like Jamie exactly did bad marble or zircon...

Don’t see a problem with the current gameshop. And I would be fine with paying £5 a month for a unique mount and a permanent skill medal as a bonus...just a thought.

P.S as I’ve said before ... no hard torches for protected item durability as it’s makes items in the end not as rare to have.

Maybe set up an optional £5 a month subscription for a special mount and perm skill medal as I mentioned and see how it goes. I 100% would do it. (People can’t really complain that it’s unfair for a cosmetic mount and just the skills getting levelled) whereas they would complain if people gained a stat increase or exp increase. And of course make it optional.

i didint like it at first, then i saw they made xp pots so expenvise without promo. then im fine. whoever wants to pay that can do w/e pleases. i would only prefer the xp pot goes higher , and have weekly or monthly promo on 40%. you know, act as a sub . limited quantity tho.
