Server will be dead on arrival lol.
Is this actually what you've settled on, one or the other? This is how to play?

No i refuse to pay to play.... but ill donate £20 for some gamegold >.< its the general attitude im seeing from those that dont like it, tbh more like it than dont though.Would you not pay to play it?
yes i know, im not after a massive UC im after players that just want to play the game, ill be happy with just thoseP2P or F2P with a non p2w cash shop. You can't merge them both. You're going to limit your user count with a p2p sub.

Tbh if a pay to play server means we don't have users constantly trying to sell items and gold for $'s all the more reason to subscribe to play.imo community is too small for any kind of subscription menthod to make it worthwhile for the Dev unless he/she is putting the server up without wanting to make any form of profit and just to keep the game alive.
works for the bigger games like diablo etc due to the massive fan base, trying to keep mir upto date with all these other games wont work, the current way mir works with gameshop is probz the best method for the game, because there is that option to pay or not to pay but still has no restrictions in terms of gameplay other than the odd gameshop item, but you could always add huntgold that some servers use to f2p players to buy things.
hard to please both p2w and f2p players not really any middle ground without upsetting one side.
also i dont think gameshops is the problems most servers suffer with these days its the levelling service or the guys who play as a job and sell everything they get from gold/items/accounts/levelling service ultimately forces people getting bored being at cap and content flow is to slow. sorry if this is irrelevant to the thread from being around for some time i just see these issues pop up last couple of years more than ever and in the end always has the same out come.

The only thing it stops, is the P2W GameShop if a Subscription means no GameShop items except cosmetics with no stat boost (EXP pots, stat pots etc).Tbh if a pay to play server means we don't have users constantly trying to sell items and gold for $'s all the more reason to subscribe to play.
It will be genuinely interesting to see how this plays out!youre both right @SmavidDavid and @Skyline. Im never going to stop it so im not putting wasted time or energy into trying to stop it, or profit from it.
but if someone wants to sub to me and pay someone else to play for them then thats thier business, what i am stopping thought is the ability to pump £100's (some times thousands) into a server to buy unlimited exp boosts or messaging me asking to buy x levels or x items (happens on every server ive run and has never been successfull)
there is no game shop, and there now is no tiered subs, after the responses ive had its a simple p2p server 1 cost for everyone and no tiered benefits, everyone who plays will be on a level playing field. no paid exp boosts, no paid exp potions,
thats become my final decision and its where i now stand on the server.
it will simply be, if you dont want to p2p then find a different server with less morals than i have

no im implying server owners have been found to have sold items behind closed doors, you miss read my entire postSo you're implying having a gameshop means somebody has less morals than you... what a load of rubbish.
Goodluck.
It reminded me of WoW Raids where you would pay huge Gold or RLC to be part of the raid to get the loot :PAs other said if you really wanna stop item sales make them soulbound. And add a forced roll system on hunts so it’s fair like other games.
A little bit contradictory here.For me buying gamegold is a choice. If you want a exp pot or mount pads you can out of your own choice either donate Or use gold and buy off some one. But here you are forcing people essentially without knowing.
I have allways liked the look of your content and ideas npc speaking ect. But for me after you replying agreeing about killing people for pking your family. IS a massive put off for me. Gms should never get involved in ingame fights ect.
But that being said back to the point of donating on a server monthly just to log in. is a 100% no go for me. you as a server owner should not decide who plays due to them not being able to donate. Their is many free to play players on mir, Again i am not one of them if i ever take interest on a mir server i will donate min 20-30£ But that should be upto to me going off what i see as a player. Not being forced to do so. Limits the uc massively also. back to point of 60% 70% of mir players i would say play free to play.
