Title: Donations, donations never change
Post by: Bartosz on November 16, 2011, 11:08:02 am: This happened sooner than we thought, and caught as without wipe. Luckily, we're conducing Closed Beta in which we are testing changes that are about to be included in next wipe, and it's a sign of things coming.

We're lacking 115e to pay up-front for next 3 months. I know what you think, it's also easy to predict what will be written here. But this does not matter, everyone is entitled to have their expectations, we're entitled to fulfil some of them whenever we can, and we're doing everything we are able to in time we can spare.

Thanks in advance!

Not having a go at you but why is it everywhere I go people talk in abbreviations without explaining what those abbreviations are, seems to happen in work a lot.

Could we have a jargon buster topic?

Why would we switch it off if it's been paid with previous donations? That's almost like taking your money and tossing them away.

Try doing something by yourself and stop complaining, kid. Money are for keeping server on, so useless crybabies like you can play, who are doing nothing, not even reporting any bugs, just playing for free and complaining. Get a life, seriously, and learn what Beta means.

Nothing to see there, only discussion about bugs and issues found in the closed beta.

Check this out - he donated only to have data for librarian, so that later players can show stats on how our playerbase is declining!

That was cruel!

1. attatch a pol that shows a donation increse within a 24 hour time, so that the persons doing donations dont just feel like their ARE actuly 5000 people playing and donating probley within the first 30 minuts of (server down status) ....not that you OR anybody would ever lie about their requirments for debts.
leaving out the tips for just being a bad ass and makeing a verry cool game online.
you might kno, i dont, mabey it would increse the "tip" aspect.
....right ? mabey? well mabey not.

i have 2 other ideas...

the sum of em,
get serius about adding something or a few new things to the game itself...
i have ideas on new things. im sure alot of other people have ideas to, but god damnit, dont bethsed@ out and ask your awsome most warm harted fans for ideas or give them a place to put ideas, and let dust pile up on top of them and never add or do anything about all the thoughts passed around... ever...
ideas on weather... their you go, their is a idea for free..
ideas on party formation - why travel alone when you can hire company.
but ghostiez- we already hire mercs'
....yeah, ok.... well... cows shouldnt = a merc...

only other sugjestion i can think of is advertiseing.. YEY...... ( shoots face off ) X_@ <- ded
well, ok ok.. so some level of that is needed but, a youtup video and word of mouth, ....shouldnt that be enuf it is a good game.. i mean if you dont dig the top down aspect of it.. well... then otherwise its really a good game.. compaired to you kno,... well... some of the other populer "game/apps" out their.

more pubs.. more towns evin. if i had the golden sugjestion,
would you use it.....

( cus i feel like you wouldnt..)

have a nice great awsome day.

1) go China
2) buy some Chinese people as slaves
3) order them to play for a dollar per month
...
PROFIT

Nah, seriously - it's been suggested so many times in so many ways already.
Title: Re: Donations, donations never change
Post by: Slaver Snipe on December 03, 2011, 10:41:25 am: With "5000" players the game would be excessively overcrowded IMO, sure it would be nice to have more than currently but that will happen when the wipe hits.

(Side note, ghostiez could you please re-learn English from the start?)

Post by: Astenu on December 11, 2011, 11:49:33 am: Personally i will troll in every single utube video somehow connected to fallout world about Fonline, because from my personal experience i know that there are people who love fallout setting and have no idea about Fonline (still cant figure out how such a big fallout fan like me did not have any idea about fonline for 2 years, silly me). Anyway im trolling there about other crap often so maybe i could b more useful this way. Despite of course lack of similarities between Fonline and Fallout and possibility of catching attention of low-life children and retards but its risk worth taking i think. Maybe this way u get more players and more donations in effect. Maybe i will donate to but now beer is more important and im still angry bout my minigun got lost by a bug. Cheers.
