So , I was thinking … Maybe this would be a good time , to make the game free to play , if your bazzaar is SOOOO successful , then this should greatly output it
Since 60 dollar for a game + DLC + bazzar + battlepass… THIS IS stupid … that four different layer.
Id say make the game free to play , get the people in , after all it what save alot of other popular mmo.
Given the current toxicity of some players, no thanks. The only right thing to do is just lower bazaar costs. I don’t want to be inundated with clans and characters named “Big B0oBa Monsters” or “Long Dong Silver” and their sandstone atrocities across the map. I’m already seeing quite a bit of this just from the updates.
don worry mate we gonna erase their junk from our beloved exile landscape on pvp
on pve - decay timer do the same 
I’m well aware, but it doesn’t work on PvE so long as they continue to log in. The only way around it is to report. I have no intention of reporting unless it affects my gameplay. Though I’ve seen sepermeru get pretty bad on my server recently.
We already have these immature folks online anyways. They come and go and want attention and leave when they realize they aren’t going to get it. As far as business goes, if your revenue is tied to the bazaar (IE game as service model vs game as product model) then it needs to get to as many consumers as possible. This means F2P is the future. Why there is this hybrid I don’t understand…outside of management fear of the switch will actually drive down revenue.
not to mention its a five year old game the Engine is so outdated , the server cant keep up to the true demand of what is needed.
And alot of private server are dying , a very fast dying , there only a handful that manage to keep it players but that it … and with it not working well on console and even console market are rapidly evolving
There has been a steady 7k-10k stable player base for years according to Steam. The game hasn’t been able to crack that 10K ceiling fully (only launches move the bar beyond it but it falls right back down to the levels it always exists in) .
Updating the engine would also kill older console support. You can’t have it both ways and say the engine is outdated for growth and say older console support is still needed.
rebumping this back up cuz i dont think people realized what really happening ,
Alot of Private server are Losing numbers FAST. And that there too many DLC for new people to come in and enjoy the game. Making the game F2P would boost these numbers up quite a bit and get people to stick around and buy things from teh bazzaar or dlc , there enough dlc to cover over the base
Also if they were to make Siptah dlc free that would open alot more to the public.
At the current rate its losing number rapidly. low population = less bazzaar , = no money
