    Mods please don't move or delete this. I understand that this thread pertains to a game that already has a thread but I assure you this thread is different. I created this thread for the purposes of generating stats as to what kind of payment plan people want for Order & Chaos.

    Feel free to discuss options of payment here! If you have another option, please speak up and I will add it to the poll as soon as possible. Enjoy!

    LOL! Forgive my stupidity but only Mods and Admins can edit polls...

    $9.99 flat rate if the usual $6.99 doesn't provide enough revenue for the server costs. Not interested in subscribing to an iOS game lol. Also, don't want to see another free MMORPG littered with a myriad of iAP.

    Do u want to add in app purchases?,

    and Maybe a one time payment, with IAP, but the IAP are only trivial things that don't actualy boost the players stats. I'm thinking pets, seasonal costumes, etc

    IAP for stuff like mounts pets and costumes etc would be a good idea for the game i think

    Free with option to upgrade includes all IAP options. However I didn't add the flat rate + IAP combo option... Now I can't sorry :(

    i don't think i can afford a subscription...
    and i can't stand F2P cause you can never buy enough, and people who do will always be ahead of you

    I've been very controversial over this.
    Keep in mind, I'll buy this no matter what the price is.
    But heres the thing..
    1. Item shops are a big no-no in my opinion. People who pay more are superior to you, is that fair? No. Whose superior should depend on who devotes more time to the game.
    2. A flat rate cost can NOT support the entire game, especially if you want updates, which I assume everyone does.
    3. Subscriptions seem to be disliked by everyone here, But I assure you, It will support the game the most, bringing you better content. Although this seems like a sure-fire plan.. My choice would have to be..
    4. In-App Content Purchases seem to be unpopular as well. But have you ever played Pocket Legends? It sold levels and maps for a price, but you could still play content for free. I agree with that concept, and I think the prices for the maps were fine. (Although they could have used some more content.) Now don't get me wrong, I don't agree with buying gold or weapons, I purely support the buying of actual CONTENT.

    I know I might get some hate for this message. But answer me this, Would you like a free game with little to no content, or would you prefer a game where you can choose to buy content. Making the game thrive, bringing you BETTER content, BETTER updates, and a BETTER game altogether.

    Without a monthly rate it's not going to be kept up as much. You all have to decide how good you want it t be. If they make more they will add more patches, increase level cap and make it a batter game! Don't just vote flat rate because it's cheaper. I know for a fact everyone can throw down two bucks a month. This game could be great... it could also fail because people complain before they know what's up.

    Same here. I'm fine with a subscription or buying vanity items but not gear that can destroy what you get through gameplay.

    Subscription means better content in my opinion. You cannot support a MMO on a one time cost model. At least it would be difficult. :)

    but i purely can't afford it
    i'm a teenager whos parents give him no money whatsoever
    i get by on the 30 or so dollars from my birthday/christmas, and whatever i can get from things like FAADVIP and killer apps
    i know it SHOULD be subscription
    but i just won't be able to play it if it is
    just me being selfish

    Maybe a free version with limited updates, but a subscribed version with frequent updates.

    It's a simple MMO for a cellphone FFS, what else can they accomplish other than "kill X of monster Y" or "fetch me X of item Y"? Make it like $6.99 and move on. :rolleyes:

    Although I've grown up playing MMORPGs on the PC and have never had complaints about the pricing of iOS games, I really don't see myself as wanting to pay monthly subscription costs after a flat rate. If the flat rate is $6.99-$9.99, and the monthly subscription cost is only $0.99 or even $1.99, then I guess that's reasonable enough. If the subscription cost is going to be any higher than that, I really don't see how the game could hold up with enough people paying. This is the iOS market, where people won't even pay more than $0.99 for a game. In any case, we should wait and see what Gameloft has in mind before going head over heels. If they include iAP, I really hope they're just cool looking decorations/skins and not shortcuts. What's more is that most of us don't expect something like WoW for the iOS. We just want ONE damn decent MMORPG. There still hasn't been a single one in the past nearly three years that I've been a customer.

    Gee... users prefer a one time flat rate... polling illuminates everything.
