In-Game Store for Special Event Items

[Umaterasu]

Ok guys I have an Idea,

When the game is made, we should have a site where players can buy Event Items & Limited Time Items. This might give us Money to upgrade the Game.
My idea was takin from MMoRPG such was Fiesta Online( I am GM there ^^). If anyone want to see our store here's the link: http://store.outspark.com/fiesta.

I like this idea personally. It could really help us get some money for alot of the things for the game. Site fees, and what not. What's your average income when you sell limited items on fiesta?

[Umaterasu]

Well, in the average, we make around 3,000 USD a day. Because we have sponcers & our game is very popular so many people buy our porducts. But even with that much money, we gotta pay our conceptors & everything. ^^

[Tsengu]

Ah I see I see. That's pretty good, that's like $15,000 USD or so a week (cutting it down a bit). That would be nice for the server and what not. What's your highest item price?

[Umaterasu]

well what do we do is: If you want to buy the items, you need to buy SparkCash ( sparkcash is the money u need to buy items). 7000 SparkCash is 10$, 3000 Sparkcash is 5$ ( all USD). Items can be like 600 SparkCash, 1300, 500. It all depends on the items effect. The highest would be 17 500 SparkCash.

[Tsengu]

That an interesting idea. So the people pay for the coins and the coins pay for the items. Is it possible to 'trade' or 'donate' coins to another players account, like a friend?

[Umaterasu]

Well not in Fiesta . Thats an issue we had. But here we can make it

[Tsengu]

Most definitely, that would be a good idea. Sometimes your friends want things and you are definitely ok with buying it for them ^^;.

[Umaterasu]

So Is my Idea Good?:p...

[Pjotrkiller]

I think It's a good idea, but maby we can make a cash shop in-game? That would be easier for people. You can buy ?"Ryo"? Cash on our future site and open a cash shop in-game. Like maplestory xD Or maby to be more realistic, there will be a shop that sells "Cash" stuff

Aslong as paypal is involved
I totaly have to agree. Like items such as one use summoning scrolls, Health, etc. woud be so handy and i know people will pay...

Yep, it'll be with Paypal

[Tsengu]

Yes this is a good idea. Clothing that has +boosts on it would be very handy and people would pay for that im sure ^^;.

[Umaterasu]

Yep, & people would like to have suits different from other. And special Weapon you can't have in-game. This Might help us alot

[Tsengu]

The only problem (and why Sorlaize has a problem with this idea) is that you don't want the weapons to be TOO overpowering the ones you don't have to pay for. To counter this though you could have them a bit stronger yet very much surpass the others in looks.

My issue with the item shop idea is a lot of people won't be paying, hence Tsengu's own argument opposing payment in this post.

I think it's an unfair advantage anyway, if we are to do this, since many people may not be prepared to pay money.

We'll have to work out how to obtain server maintenance funds while keeping the game fair (not just sort-of fair) for all players.

[Umaterasu]

ok lolz

[Sorlaize]

ok lolz

It doesn't mean no item shop

Just make sure that non-paying players have the same opportunity to level up and fight.

This is probably the most difficult issue for the entire game. And it's not gonna be easy finding a solution. But we'll work it out somehow

Ahh..lol ok

[Tsengu]

We'll have to. This project (and/or future projects if we ever decide to actually form a team, well... a more permanent team) is gonna be pretty expensive, not really in development but more along the lines of server fees and what not.

[Umaterasu]

Well, this might give us more money than only for a permanent team.

[Umaterasu]

So are we finish with this idea ?
