*Pure Speculation*
Hello everyone,
I don't know how the sales are for the new expansion, but for what I see in the forums there are a lot of people considering the value for money pretty poor so I believe many will choose the lowest bundle (me included) and many will just buy it when it arrives at the DDO store. But I believe most of us, that won't buy the higher bundles, would love in future expansions to be "supportive" of this game (I've bought the past higher bundles, all classes and races, and most iconics, and lots of **** in between ;) ), as we see it as a second home. I, for once, know that, when DDO goes kaput, I won't invest any more time nor money on any other MMO, DDO just feels right and the other options don't. But if the content of Ravenloft isn't as great as it should be (I love the 2nd expantion quests, but it doesn't have the feeling of an expansion at all) the next time you'll release one expansion the sales will turn south.
So, my idea for a future expansion was to make it a bit more like crowdfunding. We know that you guys need money to keep it rolling, and we will help you getting it if you work for it!
What do I mean with this? (This is a pure exercise, I don't know proper values so I'll just enumerate some bundles I think would sell on crowdfunding type of event). Have in mind that I'll put 1st the less expensive ones, and that they're cumulative:
1- Bundle with Expansion quests and a couple stuff mixed with them (either a cosmetic or a pet or something that has something to do with the content) 30euros max!
2- Bundle with 1 race/class + iconic + more unique stuff
3- Bundle with another race/class +unique event in the theme of the expansion (with goodies) + more unique stuff
4- Bundle with a box of utilities (xp stones/pots, rez cakes, etc.)
5- etc...
The money raised with this system should be able to pay for 1 - the content; and 2 - upgrades in the system (throwing a bone to the higher resolution players, I'm not in that group but oh well...; servers; etc.).
This is an open system that shows us not only a deadline but also how much money you need and was raised.
The game doesn't belong just to SSG, it also belongs to every single player that invested on it, and that is willing to invest more to keep it going better and better, so I believe this system would appease not only the more average/casual player, but also the big "whales".
Probably this is a rubbish idea, but I would like to see everyone's opinion on it :)
