Title: Payed Solace
Post by: Rual on September 21, 2004, 03:32:05 pm
Idea is very simple - consider Solace is a mud of your dream. Full of people, with polite Immortals, constantly advancing and developing, bugs fixing, helpfiles updating, people roleplaying, connect is fine and so on..

But... as always there is a point - you need to pay a small amount of money for playing MUD. Point of that poll to find out how much you love your MUD of dream:)

P.S. As you all know, I am not implementor, so that's not about making Solace paid now:)

It is very funny to watch guys, who like to use s**t, but for free. I wonder: when you wish to get some meal, you looking for s**t, or buy nice meat in supermarket?

As for me, I think, that my time costs some money. And I prefer to pay for relaxation, but only for goodness. I agree to pay for Solace, but for player-frendly Solace. :) And I do not agree to play in player-ugly Solace for free :)

I like guys, who buy stolen Windows, and cry, that Microsoft is s**t :)

For me, I am already paying for the internet, to surf ... free, and to find programmes ... free, as it costs me an arm and a leg to be on the internet.

If I find sites that are pay, I don't bother. If I want to play a game that I pay for, then yes, I buy the disc and use it. And you have the added bonus factor of no one changing things and no morons killing randomly. ;)

To Immortals: Set up a donation system, and I will donate....

Just because I enjoyed Solace SO much...

I think the idea is fine, yet implementation will suck anyway ;(

They also will have to code a billing system for web money or something like that, I don't know..

Also remember, that if Solace will become payed, it will be the MUD mostly for players, not for immortals as "the client is always right".

That is the destiny of all good ideas *sigh* - to die young ;(

I didn't mean a *compulsury* donation system...

I think immortals deserve some monetary rewards

А я, несмотря на англоязычность Соласа, вполне по-русски считаю, что ваши слова- дерьмо.
Поясняю.
Деньги за муд?
Гы.
Я, конечно, не втыкаю, кто есть эти иммы, но представляю себе, что они вполне здоровые люди и могут зарабатывать себе на жизнь таким образом, что на 50 баксов от муда им начихать.
Кроме того, хорошие муды получаются не от того, что кто-то деньги получает, а от того, что имплементаторам прикольно что-то прогать, при условии, что они соображают, как не напортачить лишнего.
А вы, значит, думаете, что стоит каждому плэеру скидываться по баксу в месяц, и ребята начнут генерить суперидеи и относиться к "Вам" с почтением? Это булшит.
Я согласен с тем, что иммы конкретно забили на муд (Хотя меня Чемош недавно от###рил за ругательства, и по-моему, это было круто), но ваше предложение, говорю, убогое. Если их не прикалывает писать код + бесит ваше обращение, то ничего тут не сделашь.
Хотя вру. Я думаю, если вы найдете 100 челов, готовых скидываться по 100 баксов в месяц, то всё-таки, думаю, кодить вам будут, пусть без души, но качественно.
(по доллару в месяц - я с радостью :)  )

BTW, CF seems to be well coded and also free, so it seems to me, that a great lot depends on the personalities... yet I cannot imagine myself working for free, sorry ;)

After all, I am a fan of Solace and do not play their CF.. but Solace is not only roses, that's for sure! ;)
