    I still say it should at least be B2P while in EA, but good luck to them.

    Yeah...I don't think the box price and sub is this games problem.

    Good start! I'll keep my eye on it. If there's any interest in this, I may go back in a few months and play it some more to give folks an update on if it's worth looking at again.

    nobody is begging for a game exactly like embers LOL.  A completely unfinished, extremely sub par game?  Who would ask for that.

    This game is at alpha stage, tell me when it actually makes it to a real release stage.

    Thats right.
    ppl were begging for EQ with modern graffix and got a bad joke instead

    nothing will ever satify you people, really, nothing. everything is horrid and nothing is worth a anything. it's getting old and a treadmill of these forums.

    please don;'t come into Threone and Liberty with this arrogant  attitutde. NOthing is perfect, NOTHING ! IF the people who whined and moaned about having a game like Embers can't deal with the game style they desired, then they never had or have the intention to ever play a game of that style.

    Real fans of a genre will play it, and the posers will be sitting in this forum.

    why be happy for games that have thousands of players buy it then after only a month or so 50 players playing.  We should want good games not trash games to exist.

    I would rather have games where both lots of people buy it, and those people really like it and the game keeps making expansions that people enjoy.  Something where word of mouth increases its player base over time.

    Other genres have games like this, unfortunately least few years MMO's havent been able to get there.
  • RelampagoRelampago Member UncommonPosts: 451
    Played it during the free weekend but didn't think it was worth what they were asking for.  Nowadays entertainment has to compete with other subs like all the streaming services.  If they got down to $5/mo I would sub but for now I am enjoying Gloria Victis which I bought after this f2p weekend and had a hankering for a decent mmo which gv turned out to be but at a $10 b2p buy in.

    I think they will need to make the game F2P with optional VIP sub  or low cost box with an optional VIP type sub.

    Its the only way they will get a population to look at it.

    I tried Embers during the free weekend and wouldn't mind playing sometimes, but not paying for the game and 10$ a month for what is in game atm.

    Its just not worth it. Its like a free to play alpha or early beta at best.. Not only that, it does not have a lot of players to help do the little bit of content they have anyways and the dungeons are not soloable.

    If it was like 10$ and no sub, then I would buy even if it was just to help them out.

    Sorry but no one expecting this game (or any game) to be perfect. This game isn't even in the conversation of being "good" for a multitude of reasons, let alone "perfect."

    Its not the money, its the product, its absolutely subpar which is why you all are saying to lower the price.  If they dropped the sub, you would say to make the box price free, if they made the box price free you would say to drop the sub.

    Even if the game was completely free, without a sub it would barely have anyone playing it.  No system in the game feels finished.  The real solution is to make the game fun, then maybe people would buy the game.

    The game now costs $29 and you get 1 month free sub.  You will be done with this game in a month anyways, so the real price is $29.  If you knew you would only play for 1 month tops would it even be worth $5?

    It's just that there is nothing to do ! Even when there was, quests or access to quest were bugged. all was left to do is grind mobs and watch a tv show on the side. At that point, better off installating Morowind.

    That's actually not the right way to look at it. B2P is a better option for multiple reasons especially since the only way they are looking for improvements is to pay them continuously. No one in their right mind will pay them monthly just to help test their game. New World is a prime example of improving over time while also keeping the box price of the game. Sure Amazon can afford to take the financial hit when you compare it to a small company like this, but its already a risk making something like this in the first place. They are honestly not in the right business if they can't afford to take risks that might take a long time to pay off in the end.

    So you found all of the "embers" ? Reading these posts , is very telling that most people havent even read up on the game.

    I am not the only one on here who relies on posters giving us a heads up on whats going on. I don't play demo's, free weekends etc so its good to hear from those in game.

    To compete? You mean to grab the last cash before the project shutss down. I payed the game for a while it was fun but quickly became mondaine and boring.
