Unlimited Members Only Servers?

[Ryu_Kenshin]

How many times do I have to say this, Unlimited access only servers are for unlimited only, like runescapes memebers only, and basics servers are accessable by ANYONE. ANYONE!!!! Do we have an understanding?

I understand these forums to be a place to post ones opinions.
I understand this is POTCO, this is not Runescape, so I fail to see your point at all.

Because Runescape does things one way, does not mean that everyone does things that way.

You didn't read the first part of the ppost did you? I made thsi thread stating that we should ahve Unlimited only servers like runescape had members only servers. I was making an analogy. But people don't seem to get the unlimited only part. Servers made for paid for members only, and servers where everyone can go to.

[Dr. Zeppers]

I read the entire thread, having read the whole thread at once, one sees it is a discussion over unlimited only servers. Irregardless of what your original post said about Runescape which to assume everyone is familiar with is well... inaccurate.

Your reference to Runescape in the original post doesnt mention anything about basic servers being accessed by paid users as well, there for the topic of the discussion came to unlimited/paid only servers.

I offered my overall opinion as I thought it applied to the overall discussion. If I repeated anything anyone else said then it is likely that I agree with that persons statement/opinion. This is what communities are for.

Forums are a place for people to come to find information and discuss aspects of the game. Debate over a topic is fine as long as you are debating the TOPIC. Please confine your debate to the topic at hand and not the 'person' - personal attacks, name calling and anything that is considered flaming, trolling etc will be deleted.

There are ways to disagree about a topic without calling each other names.

I'm jsut saying that the Unlimited servers will be for unlimited only and basics servers will eb for everyone.

Just so you know, I play runescape also, and as a basic member (I got bored paying) I can still access the members servers.

But anyway, here's my opinion. No arguments, no flame wars, I probably won't even check this thread again I personally don't like the idea of members only servers.

People have said that it'll reduce the lag.. but it won't. The busiest servers I've seen are always filled with paying members who are afk. And the free members never seem to bother me. If they do, I just ignore them, or block them. If they try and add me to their friends list, or crew, I just click no. It's just a click of a button And just because someone's a noob, doesn't necessarily mean they're not paying for the game, and you won't get followed. Some of these players you have to remember are probably kids, who get excited at seeing someone at a much higher level than them, and want to know how to get to that level themselves.

Think of everything we get as paying members....the quests, the weapons, the ability to level up to 40....don't you think we get enough privileges over free members as it is?

Nathaniel is merely stating the view from a whole, which is what needs to be done.
Sure, it 'would' be great. But that's not what this is about.

Clearly the only voice on here is for paying members, I'm sure there is some free account players around, but not nearly as many as the paying members. So that explains why the majority of players are for it. As only paying members would want this, nobody with a free account would ever want something like this implimented...

Yeah, thats what it's all about plain and simple. Well through my twisted eyes anyway.

First, the "secret friends club" is your words, not mine. Second, a members only server system would actually be preferable. If we want to recruit new members for our guilds, we know where the "free" servers are, and it keeps the free accounts from interferring with our enjoyment of the game.

I have no side in this - just an observation... Lets say there were Seperate Servers, and as you suggest if you wanted to recruit Guild members you 'hop' on over to the 'free' servers and recriut and get several new members... now - how do they follow you? If I've read the thread correctly - they couldn't. You would go back to your 'members' server and they couldn't follow because they have 'free' accounts - or - you're now back to playing only on 'free' servers in the first place...

Note - I only ask from a tech outlook - as I really don't know if other games out there have this option (like once you Guild them they can come to you? But defeats the purpose of members only servers?) - and not a take a debate side comment

I would assume most people that would come to these forums would be unlimited members. The quest limitations and questions about the game wouldn't require as much help as people seek here, up through the full extent of basic access. Maybe a slight few that are considering getting unlimited.

As far as "member only" servers: I think the game is too young right now. It would be nice, but Disney is still trying to make money - one way to do that is having staff's in basic members faces, showing them what they could get. Also the various different looking weapons and clothing. I would say the earliest a real chance at member only servers would be six months after the release of the next chapter. By then, the majority of new subscribers will already be here, and unlimited subscriptions will be at the plateau. Then Disney can access what the majority of paying members would benefit from (as it is a profit driven business).

You misunderstood me, I was talking to that other guy.

Reading some of these other posts, I can see how a basic member might feel about this. But from my personal experience (I haven't really noted any others, so its kinda biased,) I would still have gotten unlimited access whether or not I had ever seen any unlimiteds. I did it because I wanted to be able to do a certain quest and it wouldn't let me.

I also agree that Disney probably won't make a members-only server anyways, so it doesn't really matter what we want. They are going to do what they think they should, end of discussion.

I've pointed out that while on a selfish level, members-only servers sound nice.

In reality, the problems they have with obnoxious players isn't going to go away. Because obnoxious players aren't limited solely to the non-paying population.

The same thing goes with laggy players.

And why exactly is it offensive to ask someone holding forth on how "easy" a project is how exactly they're qualified to talk about it?

I'm a security professional by trade, a programmer by necessity, and a game publisher on the side. And I know better than to try to speak authoritatively about something I know little to nothing about (like someone else's programming project).

If it's any consolation, I never said they had to like my responses or agree with me.

No one cares how professional you may be so just get over it.
And no one was replying to you in a "less than civil manner", you just went ahead bashing opinions.
