Server Needs MORE RMT, Not Less
So, it's true this server went from a policy of:
"Don't try to pay real life money for in-game goods or you will be banned from the server" to: "Please pay real life money for in-game goods, the server as a whole will benefit" I understand why people might get upset at this policy reversal, but I that's looking at it the wrong way. Think about it: if SOE's lawyers don't sue P99 over this, then that pretty much legitimizes a way for P99 to make money. This would mean P99 could finally make money, not just beg for it, for new servers, hosting costs, and maybe even a paycheck for staff members, all by having their own Kickstarter campaign. Others have already suggested "slot machine" style plat sinks in the game; why not have them but with real money? You donate $50 to the P99 "Slot Machine Development" kickstarter campaign, and as a reward you get 50 credits. You can give those credits to an NPC in-game for a chance at cool items (guises, fungi staffs, xp potions, etc.). As long as it's all no-drop there's no real harm: who cares if the guy next to you can look like a dark elf or regenerate a little faster? As long as they can't sell their winnings it won't hurt your enjoyment of the game (and it will help the server). Thoughts? | ||

Why, because I'm finding a silver lining in something a lot of people are upset over?
I was upset at first too (thus the post's start) but I'm really starting to think this is a genius way of testing a system that would let the staff make money off us. And I'd argue that's a good thing. | ||

There's as much silver lining in "if p99 promotes RMT and doesn't get sued, p99 can make money off of it" as there is in "if i shoot myself in the face and don't die, i'll be famous"

I don't want people paying for fungis with real life $ either, but don't the staff deserve more than just whatever donations a few kind people give? Not to mention all the users, who would benefit from the new servers, increased bandwidth, etc. What's the harm in letting a few rich people be dark elves to achieve that? Heck, dark elf masks don't even give you a meaningful vision upgrade on this server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ***EDIT*** Oops, posted this before seeing Sirken's post. I'm still holding out hope though, just because: A) I think this server could use more money than the few donations they get (and maybe I'm wrong, having never seen the P99 balance sheet, but I just imagine there's a lot of cost to this operation; server cages aren't cheap) B) If it works with one kickstarter, why can't it work with another? | |||
