Two Currency'z
« on: May 30, 2014, 05:41:01 am »
The Dev Team has already said there will be Pnote economy.

This gives us two currency.
1. AWD
2. Pnote

============
1. AWD will be able to be withdrawn from game as money
2. Pnotes will not

============
So. It Doesn't matter how much Pnotes are out there to the Dev, it matters how much AWD is out there.

What I am trying to say, and what i am asking, is this. Dev Team say, make game not Pay to Win. Well, i am asking then to make that possible. Make Pnotes able to do things in game, like terminal costs. Make Pnotes easy to earn and easy to spend.

Make some things, for example, the bonus buffs the Dev talk about, make things like that only be able to be bought with AWD. In other words, everything that is Needed to be able to play the game, make it able to be bought with Pnote. Make it Able to earn Pnotes in many ways.

Make AWD only able to do certain things that everyone would Want to do, but not Need to do, if that makes sense. For example the buffs. Maybe other things. Of Course many people will only sell for AWD, but there will be many who will not care and sell for Pnote, because is also a currency. This will make it very easy for people to play for free, and we ALL know that when a game is made easy to play for free and it is enjoyable and a large playerbase, very often those players end up spending money too!

It's a Win Win for Everybody, i think.

Could you provide a link to the Development post that implies "AWD will be able to be withdrawn from game as money"?

@Jane. Here is the most recent post that implies the above. The actual words "awd into money" I dont believe have ever been said. Congratulations on being the most technical player on the forum!! :):)

any update on the actual RCE part of afterworld.  what time frame are we looking at for RCE to be fully integrated?  pls dont respond with "after beta" or after commercial release"  3 months 4 months,1 year 5 years?  im sure most of us are still here for the hopes of an rce game.


After we are ready to work on RCE. Hope that helps.

Okay, now seriously. I can't give you any estimation because I don't know when we would be ready to work on RCE. It's a huge part that may affect everything - gameplay, economy, balance, social part and even our offline business part that works with papers, taxes and banks. So it will take a lot of time and may be done only when we are a) having a stable game, and b) having a game that generates income and we are certain that implementation of the channels to draw money away from the game (and our company profits) won't cause shutdown of our whole company.

Thanks for the details.
I do not see anything there that contradicts my impression that AWD will not be the currency that allows you to withdraw money from the game.

My "impression" that AWD Will be the currency, is because right now when you "donate" $, you get AWD in game. So why would you get $ out of the game from Something Else? :)

If the currency with which you can withdrawal will be something else, I have no doubt it will be made the currency that you receive when you put money in.

======================
All I am asking for is this - if the Dev want the game to Not be Pay to Win, then please make it possible to do all activities without the use of AWD, because for there to be AWD, SOMEone had to pay $$$ for it to exist :)

If the Dev cannot make the game free to play (with AWD stuff being optional or just bonus type stuff (minority of the game)) then please reconsider how you plan the game to make it Pay to Win, because its unfair to say you dont want the game to be pay to win but make it unable to play without paying.

There are players who have not donated, but that is because they have traded with players who did. Someone, somewhere, had to pay $$ to get awd in order to be able to craft or use terminals.

I ask to either make the game free to play, or pay to win.
I propose that they make AWD stuff be stuff that people will Want but not Need. like buffs. Visual stuff. idk what else

This post: Re: Craft items (ingredients) reset is coming soon and the rest of Anti announcements and comments in the same thread is the basis of my impression that P.Notes are more likely to be withdraw-able currency. P.Notes seem to be uniquely positioned to be a play-to-withdraw currency. We'll find out later if this is a misunderstanding.
