Hey guys,

 

I'm super excited about the upcoming Steam launch -- it will probably means lots of new players into the game.  In fact, it may be so popular that it may knock out the server entirely.

 

Assuming Valve lets me, what do you guys think of having the Steam edition only available to users who purchase a platinum pack?  No changes to the existing web versions.  If we're able to handle the Steam launch without going down, we could remove this requirement once we feel confident about the server load.

 

Lemme know what you think

Even if it is $14.99

The dollar amount is small and allows players to start with a platinum pack.

Enough platinum to start a town and get extras.

I'm going to say a little of both. There should be some reward for people who buy the plat version, however there may be other ways that "Free" players can support the game. To keep servers alive, this is a great idea. If you like this game, please do RobbyZ a favor and like 8bitmmo on facebook etc and tell your friends about it. the more people that get to play the farther this game will go.

Should be around $10.99 but i wouldn't be able to buy it for a while.

I got a new idea! Make premium and free servers!

[kkfenix]

Also the chat will need improvement and changes...

[Trololo]

Lets make it all free like the game has always said to be.

[Reap3r119]

Ya, I agree with trol. Just keep the plat premium

as long as the purchase can be made on steam itself for respect to non US players.

Im down for the purchase idea, but us, the ones that donated more then 15 or 20 dollar min for the game. Should get it for free.

[kkfenix]

Btw, if you make a closed BETA  , include me in it, please, I can test it on 2 or more computers and a laptop (1 bad PC with Windows XP, 1 good PC with Windows 7, 1 average laptop with Windows xp and maybe 1 PC or more in school (but they are all the same, so there is no point checking on multiple of them)!

Also, how many bitcoins would you ask for for 4 plat?

"Looks at signature" DARN IT FENIX!

[kkfenix]

You sent me a message when you had that signature so it is now saved FOREVER! or just until I delete it...

I agree with Skulleus. Members who made at least one plat purchase should be able to to use this game mode. And also an update on the gold package for package 2 and up saying, "When purchasing this, you are allowing to play this edition." It's not as if its a "Win Win" for me, but if you are trying to make a little dough from this update, this should be your chance. Will there also be an email verification to understand that it is the actual player signing in to this edition? 

[RobbyZ]

Yes, I should be able to give the desktop edition out to users who have previously purchased

[Trololo]

Okay, then if that happens I will change my vote.

Do purchases using bitcoins count?

[Scratso]

I'm neutral here 'cause I have actually donated once to the game. But I'd recommend keeping it free.

Probably
