Let's do a test...(viera related)

[UsagiAndCrepes]

$20 is quite cheap, some people pay $50 more for all the collectors bonuses in some games which don't amount to much.

As it's a subscription game and not a free microtransaction game I don't think it would be appreciated. What is baffling is that ppl who wont play it threaten to quit if it's behind a paywall. Even when the question is clearly a hypothetical to see if people that like it would put their money where their mouth is.

Clearly people wouldn't pay for it if they don't want to play it, I don't think anyone thought they would, ever. Maybe someone that buys all optional items just be be completionist?

The reason some people who don't want it regardless are saying they would quit if it was paywalled is because of what other portions of the game that ends up opening to potential paywalling, which pushes the game down a slippery slope towards the FTP/P2W model of other MMOs. It's less about it being the particular race in question paywalled, and more about what is being paywalled.

While the idea of seeing "if people will put their money where their mouth is," as you so perfectly put it, is not bad as a concept, I feel the general animosity that occurs in cash shop discussions may creep into this one.

If it happen i wouldnt buy it. Same if i love viera and want viera so much there are limits...

[Vexander]

Depends.

If Male Viera were similar to female Au Ra (height, build, poses and the likes), then yes, I'd probably go for it. If we just got another hulking monstrous male version of the race with rage faces, overly-detailed, 'Beast,' characteristics, and the sort, then no. I'd never touch the race at all.

[Arutan]

The more Viera thread there is, the less we want it. Stop with that.

[Aylis]

What would you do, if the race ever became available...but the twist, is that you would have to pay 20$ to unlock it on the mogstation and let's say, a bundle of 25$ for the race and a fantasia.



Would you? Just curious if people would be willing.

I'm not really interested in Viera to be honest. So regardless if they mog stationed it or put it in the game normally it doesn't matter to me.

The only example of this is SWTOR. If there are others I don't know, however SWTOR had all the races have the same body animations so it was more, "pay for a tint".

Everquest 1 and Everquest 2 as well. I think The Elder Scrolls Online too?. SWTOR was kinda in the same boat as the other games. Once being subscription game only to going to a hybrid FTP game with optional subscription. SWTOR followed the SOE model for EQ1 and EQ2, where all the races are open and unlocked to players if they maintain a monthly subscription. If a player was FTP then yes they would have to buy the race unlock.

I don't even want the Viera race to begin with.

And a race locked behind a paywall? Get out of here. Seriously, even just as a what-if scenario idea.

Same here. I am not much interested in Viera to start with, and I certainly wouldn't be willing to pay for them.

[Synrin]

No.

This sentence I have written because 'no' is too short of a post.

[Kyuuen]

Nope, even if they were added just like the other race, nope. I have zero interest.
