Free to play

I’ve recently played “RPG MO”, and they have a great idea with the XP Boost : it’s server wide, not player only. It means, if i buy a potion of 200% xp, the server starts a timer, and for 30 minutes, everyone online gets the boost too. It’s cumulative in time, but not in effect. If my friend buy and use a potion of XP while my timer is already on, the timer will simply add 30 minutes. It can lead to several hours of double XP, it creates great spirit between players (no jealousy but instead, thanks), and it’s completly fair for free players as they have stricly the same benefit than the paid players. Also, even if quite expensive, you can buy everything from the cashshop with ingame money.

 

I still prefer B2P models, but if, IF, you go with a cashshop, you may want to consider this serverwide boost, instead of player centric ones.

My vote is for B2P with an optional membership/premium player status.  I’m totally hyped about a vampire mmo, by the way.  So looking forward to playing this.

 

That said, I’d love to know what P2P’s offers free expansions to them.  WoW requires you to buy their expansions at $30 to $60 when they’re released (Legion, Warlords, Mist of Pandaria, etc).  They release those about every 2 years.  FF14 also made you pay about $30 for their expansion Heavensward too.  So they may give you smaller amounts of content in between those for nothing, but they do require you to keep paying for their major expansions just like the B2P games do, ie: GW2, Secret World, Elder scrolls, Black Desert (doesn’t have an X-Pac as of yet that they’ve charged for).   Also, these B2P’s often put in updates and little expansion things for no extra cost as well

Having spent over 10 years playing P2P, I find now that B2P is my preference with an option to get premium perks memberships.  I’m a lower-middle-class person in North America who sometimes has a bit of extra money and sometimes I don’t.  I quit playing WoW mostly because I feel like I am getting ripped off when I compare it to what I get for the same amount of money in BDO, TSW or ESO as far as game play content, perks, graphics quality, character generation, clothing alternative/alterations/dyes, etc.

I think that if a company can make a MMORPG that is better than WOW (Not hard to do), then they deserve my dollar.  If you want a good, involved, and in-depth vampire game then you should be okay with giving them some money for such a pleasure.  These people work hard to produce games that reflect the passion of the players they aim to please with its creation.  I would pay good, hard-earned money, to play a vampire MMO because it has been my passion since VTM came out in the 90’s.  Free to play games are okay and many of them can be really enjoyable, but I want THE BEST when it comes to this one.

My vote is for B2p.

I love how the game is coming along but, from what i have seen so far (and this is just my opinion)  it doesn’t seem to merit p2p with the content it presents so far. Attempting to compare this game to WOW ESO or any other Big Budget games with a large staff with or without cash shops,premiums, and sub subscriptions seems a little premature and more like guess work on if it will do well with any of those payment options so i can’t really say if they would work with this game or not.

I believe that those types of games do well not only because of how they handle their income via p2p, b2p, DLC, and Sub but because they have the content backing the game. 

 

I support this game 100% and will be pre- ordering it even without knowing if it will be p2p because if it is i won’t be playing but i will support this type of game that i have wanted for years and years. I love VTM bloodlines and vampires in general so from a vtm/ww Fanboy standpoint i say” YESSS IT’S ABOUT TIME FOR THIS TYPE OF GAME TAKE MY MONEY.”  But from a gaming unbiased standpoint not allowing my want and need for this game or my love of vampires or the idea of the game itself to get in the way of  my decision, i have to say as it stands unless i see some more impressive updates with more of the content they want within the game made real i can still only say B2p. This based off of the content i have seen so far, and i say B2p not only because it’s a game i wish to play but because of the features they are wanting to implement into the game, that in itself is worth b2p.

Really  in my opinion it seems like a tall order to say what kind of payment this game should have based on only what we have seen so far and though some of these options of payment may be good for the game, they may also be bad for it so i think and hope they  choose wisely. I’m sure they will..

Hello everyone. I will try to give an opinion with a more geographically broad view of the form of payment. Free to play does not work, eventually it will become a pay to win and sometimes it’s not the developer’s fault it just gets tricky to raise enough in this model (we have countless examples). Pay to Play is the most popular way for an MMO to collect, but I do not think it will be the best route initially for the Dogma. The game will enter the market as ” small ” with a great potential to be exploded (in the future). Games with monthly fees require a gigantic structure to ensure that everything works, assistance in various languages ​​and for various countries (initially the game will be in English and Russian), servers located in other countries (people, third world countries have an indecent internet and This must be evaluated as well) and obviously has to be worth the monthly fee to the point of abandoning other options. I’ve already seen dozens of games marvel at the P2P platform, go back to B2P, then to Free to become a P2W with servers abandoned simply for a new WOW and the monthly fee system seems simpler to collect. Buy to play I think it’s the best option initially, with sales of customization products and items that guarantee ” comfort ” to the character without being an advantage. With time and a solid structure, if the game is a success, deliver 80% of what it promises (yes, this is a lot. No MMO that I have seen delivered everything) then yes it would be a natural evolution the monthly with the growth of the game .

It’s just an opinion. A hug to all of the team wishing success always.

I’d also rather Buy it once rather than subscribe monthly. 

I was about to buy the 60 bucks pack, but then I read the FAQ and realized it might be sub to play based, and I hate those kinds of games to be frank. I’m a big WoD fan but not big enough, I suppose

I’m hoping it’ll be a  F2P / B2P type game rather than P2P

i got to admit if you are donating to get this game running then it dos leave a bitter taste in your mouth if your suddenly asked to pay monthly for the game you have been donating too.

i think it should be a one of payment or free for people who’s already donated to the game.

as for how the company can keep making money thats easily fixed with in game purchases e.g. (new cool outfits, skins, hair styles stylish furniture for your apartment and equipment for your character)

I tend to leave games then come back to them but P2P games don’t encourage me to come back it actually stops me from playing them again

I prefer B2P … Best way to continue the works you made at this time and touch most people to play this game.

ok i fully agree with your idea.. but big question why in the world do you all say usd ? not everyone is from the united states of america….. no offence.. and not everyone is able to work out the difference in currency either, 

 

yet all i keep seeing usd this and usd that and blah blah blah….

 

and yes i would agree that we need to know a price/payment modal/subscription cost. but for pete sake try to remember not everyone is us based

I dont know if my opinion is important but i think the most popular MMOs model of this times for me,is the B2P with a cash shop cause people can buy a cool high dresses,fangs,weapons and body skins,hats,shoes,tennis,appearances for normal bodys and the essence,make up,masks,cloaks,companions,pets,vehicles and actions much options to add to this game i want play it and im anxious for be one human vampire hunter,a vampire or werewolf thats is my probably characters to make i hope you sirs read it and take a bit of my opinion for put something in the start of the game,and sorry for my bad english im endeavoring thank you very much for the attention.Greetings

It is a lot of posts. I have decided long ago that I will have BtP. For this purpose in due time I have paid once. And until the end of life an eternal subscription.
