Re: New devblog: Full Steam ahead

Steam will bring in new players, that is a fact. Now only how many will stay and play the game actively is to be seen. And a lot of that depends on how the game evolves and get updated with new content. But creating content isn't free, so I wonder how they will handle that, as I guess the current system isn't bringing in a lot of extra past the payment for the running costs of the company.

Of course I could be fully wrong.

Why not make the starter island free .... no purchase required - having completed the starter missions and getting ready to TP into the game proper, the new player has to pay the $20/$30 or whatever to actually move on - gives people a 'taster' without having to commit, and if the start experience is interesting enough will lock in account purchases ...


They said trials are on hold until the server/ISP are at least up to 1994 internet standards.
