WARNING: controversial topic incoming: cRPGplus

[chadz]

I came up, jokingly, with a suggestion in that topic (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,4191.msg82844.html ).

Having slept only a few hours, I am retarded enough to actually think it further.

I'll keep it short and simple, what about:

- A new gamemode, cRPGplus,
- it's only hosted on my own servers,
- the first 30 player slots or so of the server are open to everyone,
- after that (30/100) it locks for donators (5€ per month),
- there is no upkeep,
- money gain is slow,
- it features a separated database, new chars,
- slightly different WPF calculation,
- no level cap,
- chars and shop ingame,
- you gain money and xp 50% by killing yourself, 50% by area of XP,
- no retirement,
- no heirlooms (or maybe upgrading your weapons),
- no drastical changes to weapons or item stats

It really wouldn't be that hard to code, so the question is, what is your opinion about it?

[Magikarp]

Do it.

Make it like the old c-rpg, I loved it so much.

[Ginosaji]

lol, do it, if you want to, but keep in mind that as soon as people have to donate to play a mod their tone will be even more demanding. And you'll sort of split the community with 2 mods.

I got no clue about this stuff but wouldn't that donation per month thingy cause legal problems?

server password for donators has been done before. Afaik, that's ok.

As far as I know (I've done similar things, but with other games) Taleworlds could easily stop chadz from developing cRPG, with or without donations (per month). I don't think that TW has a problem if more people buy their game because of a modification, but maybe their mind will change if chadz actually makes money with the mod.

Paying for an unpatched mod isn't really tempting tbh

looks like the item stat changes caused the biggest fuzz lately
It's really up to people, it just seems that so many people are not content with the way the game works. My soul lies within the real cRPG, the one with less grind and a more even playing field.

But if some people really want another version, why not.

[chaosegg]

...or you could simply make about 10 slots per server be reserved and people could pay monthly to have access to "the special line/que" for them?

I like the game as it is pretty much;
heirlooms and gen bonus give a reason to play; a goal of being a unique build/player to work towards,
yet still being fairly balanced.

[Beauchamp]

i think almost nobody would play it and in the end everyone would go for the normal crpg - because normal crpg is better. i also don't think this would bring you more donations so why to loose your time with this? only to prove some people wrong?

i'm not against the idea of paying, but i'd prefer to pay for a good fun or eventualy for advantages ingame (like persistant world with crpg characters on a huge map) and not for this. i think "plus" is for something better, this should be rather called cRPGminus :o)

[Camaris]

Tbh before you start doing something like this just fix everything what is broken atm (ctf etc.) add strategus and you
will see people becoming silent.

I cant see how splitting the playerbase is anything good to be honest.

[Fluffy_Muffin]

If this is about the tears of the whiners getting to you : Dont do it

If this is about you needing money : Do it, its your time and effort, shouldnt be free

[cutsomecheesewithmybow]

Sounds more like a waste of your time, an obstacle on strategus way too.

[Belmont]

I believe it is a waste of time, especially when you consider that much more people want a heirloom redistribution over having back the old cRPG (FEEDBACK). The new version of cRPG is vastly superior and to be honest, I doubt over 20 people would play cRPGPlus.
