now is late. he just add the thing of the 4$ =)

FIZZER - one thing that needs fixing - nameless players - a bug that allows people to have no-symbol names makes it impossible to check their profile or report them as long as they are not in a clan.. then again - if there were two same level players in one clan, it would be impossible to determine who wrote what. That's a possible backdoor for forum trolls.

to see what i mean - look at the second post in this thread..

and for the topic - i agree with ps to some extent. Yes. Membership is way to expensive for being only "ad free" in addition to a regular account (i know i know.. open games, vacations, right? but these are irrelevant imho). And the packs are a good idea, but you really should consider selling single perks for little money.. Like $3 for luck unlock, or $5 for ladder entry.. these or even less expensive offers may get you to reasonable income i guess.. As far as I know it's always quantity, not price which makes real money.. my 0.02

you can still check who wrote that ( check to page source - http://warlight.net/Profile?p=8233316318)

probably from mobile he didn't see (or cannot) click the name, that's my guess.

one time (before Wl 2.0) you could change name evey 20 days. Now, after you reach level 52, for gain 5 levels occur more or less 6 months. Andthis is the point. :)

I think most people are actually really glad that name changes are no longer so frequent. I am.

You complain there are no big gameplay changes, but when was the last time Fizzer added something that help him run the site?

its the same for me, i never changed the names or like to. but a lot of players like change. And i remember Fizzer say, who buy mebership would never lost any feature :P

is with Wl 2.0. He introduce ads. July 2013.

How Fizzer can claim that:

"I don't understand this at all. The packs and membership unlock different things. They actually complement each other."

is nonsense.

If membership gave more benefits, such as the things you added to the strategy and map packs there'd be more incentive for people to become members. What's not to understand about that?

Luckily 4 of my 5 member accounts are grandfathered and don't need to level up, but on the one account that I did have to level up on to use maps and settings I quickly regretted having bought membership on it, and I can guarantee that I wouldn't buy a membership today if I was a new player, let alone 5 memberships like I purchased in the past.

I bought 50 memberships, one for every two alts to share. And I think it is fine that Fizzer offers players new ways to do what can already be done.

When you woke up today, were you expecting anything new on WL? No? Then what is the problem?

Go play those ladders and autogames like good little boys and all will be forgotten.

No Gui, you have not bought 50 memberships.

Also irrelevant.

It basically boils down to:

Very few new players will join and then buy not only a membership, but a membership and the map/strategy packs before playing the game long enough to unlock most of what these unlock sans leveling.

Those new players that would buy a membership are less likely to do so than if it contained the benefits of the map/strategy packs.

The only players that are low level and have played the game enough to think it's worth $59.97 are alts. The main affect on alts is the same as new players though. Someone might spend $29.99 to get their alt a membership, but they're much less likely to do so if they then need to pay another $29.98 to unlock settings and maps. All this really seems likely to do is discourage the creation of alts, and discourage the people who would purchase more than one membership from doing so.

It isn't likely to increase profits, it's more likely to decrease them as opposed to wrapping these benefits up into the membership package.

Mr Alt, if it weren't for my alts' memberships and Gnuff's purchases to avoid bans, WL wouldn't exist anymore. Be thankful.

Also, I fail to comprehend how a few purchases that were not previously possible would make Fizzer lose money. Care to explain your logic?

Fizzer, i totally get the cost to run the site...why not help yourself on that end somehow? Archive old games, maps never played. Allow people to delete mail. Put some things in place that safe space.

I agree. Start by deleting some players. I know a few if you need help.

"Also, I fail to comprehend how a few purchases that were not previously possible would make Fizzer lose money. Care to explain your logic? "

It was already explained.

It's not money lost as opposed to having done nothing. It's money lost as opposed to rolling those features into membership, which would increase the amount of memberships purchased.

Give him a break guys. He doesn't work a proper job so he can run this site. He needs money to be able to pay his rent, and keep the site going. Would you prefer for WarLight to be shut down or for these changes? I for one prefer these changes for sure. If I was older, and could afford it, I would buy memberships on all my accounts, and still keep ads on because it's worth it for this site.

Voodoo, it's not only you and Gnuffone who buy numerous things. For example, Hidden Hand bought 2 memberships and 4 clans (But he's banned now). That's around $120 that he spent.

If it's bothering you so much, make your own Warlight! With blackjack and hookers...

^^

I completely agree that Fizzer shouldn't have to lose money for running WL. Better have him here than in a "real job".

Adding monetization should be OK as long as paying does not make you stronger in games imo. I really hope that principle will be upheld in the future, too, because abandoning it would destroy this game. I've seen flourishing internet games alongside their communities be sold to companies that were only interested in the monetization aspect. Those communities died in record time.

I'm excited to see what major gameplay changes the next major update will feature.

Crap, Players should work hard to level up and unlock stuff.

If you don't like it then leave the game. You're not doing Fizzer any favors by just sitting around and complaining.
