I know its difficult for most people to read between the lines and my previous posts i have tried to avoid responding to these as i am aware what i say holds little value until the servers up and we can show how we intend to run Apocalypse, so ill try and make this clear so you feel more comforted.
I am 100% clear that selling items in the game will immediately lose between 50-60% of the community (if not more). loosing 50+% of the community results in a huge failure, for the sake of perhaps selling 10 items and making a very short term, sum of money?
People who understand the point i am making above, will be confident in the fact that we are not stupid enough, even if we wanted to sell items (which we categorically don't) to actually ever do so.
This is not me trying to defend our team, but simply explain our feelings on server owners who sell items for a quick buck.
But despite what i say, certain people are going to be pessimistic, and from where i sit, i am comforted by this. it shows me we all have the same goal here, for this server to be successful, and with that meaning us (the game-masters) are conducting ourselves in the manner the community desires.
I hope this helps clear up the mind set we are approaching this server with. People have been asking us for two weeks what is going to be in the game shop, we have an idea, but this is our current game shop:
