Dear GM's and all those who run A3 India, I am very much concerned about the decreasing number of players from A3 India.
To strenghten my point, I would like to point out to empty maps of CARODE, C1, R3, R4 & S1, which used to remain pack even at 3 A.M. in nights. All nook and corners would be full, now no one goes there, excepts for piking events. Or for some 1 or 2 party in r4 and s1. Do i need to say more. All those who had played the game from that period, really feel spooked.
I would like to suggest you a very easy procedure or way, in which you can make the game FREE to play and yet Generate More Income, than even what you get from current subscriptions.
What an MMORPG needs, is a constant number of players who keep on INCREASING and not DECREASING. If you people have will, then there is an easy way, which can be implemented by you.
These things have been implemented by many of the MMORPG providers around the GLOBE. Some of the MMORPG which are free are Silk RouteOnline, ArchLord, TantraOnline, etc. And people are playing it in large numbers.
The Question is HOW?...... Well here goes how!!!
1) Abolish the P2P system. Make the game free!!!
2) Get the money by selling of things like unique weapons, lartek, g9's, g 10's and various other stuffs, in real life cash. Even now, many people are buying it by giving out real life cash. So why cant A3 India, implement it. This will not only bring more players, but, will also generate more revenues, than compared to Subscribers. (Many of whom are quitting day by day.) All the above mentioned games have done that, and many more are doing it successfully.
3) Or even if u wanna keep P2P, try this out for some months and after that keep a subscription rate of about 100 Rs. per month + the scheme mentioned in Point 2, above. No one will say for Rs. 100 and also you can sell the merchandise as well as the things mentioned above.[/color]
Give it a thought, it will work wonders. Because what an MMORPG needs is Mass (Many Players) Gamers...... Like the days before the P2P servers came into existence.
At least Try it out!!!
I have posted this topic even in the GM sections...
Plz. dont consider this as spam. But put forward you opinion.
Get The Crowd Back!!!
This Idea
hi guyz this idea works in a3 india with some changes,ya sell everything what ever a player needs in game by putting seperate subscription pins to buy items keep unique items with high rate and g9,g10 also with high rate so tht not every 1 cant afford nor can hve it,put everything for real cash,if u implement this thn we can easily buy with pins in the same way how we renew our id keep pins with rates 100,200,500.....!
im not sure abt this but this may work.and i guess we can get rid of hacking problem in sm way,i mean so tht players will buy only frm a3 india.
cya guys

bad idea
I dont think it will be a good idea to sell things in real cash.
The idea suxxxxxxxxx coz the game will more be a game of real money and status. It will reduce ppls interest from game and more than 75% ppl will leave the game. How can any1 post such an idea
Thanking u,

Hi bagua1,
Your questions have already been answered by [GM] First, but I would like to add that the free MMOs you mentioned are running in Korea, Philippines and other mature markets. These are countries which have a huge gaming population. So, a game like Silk Road Online can afford to be F2P for basic access because it has a game base of probably hundreds of thousands or even millions. Charging for a few premium items would make good business sense. This is not the case in the Indian market where the game base of A3 would be a few thousands.
And, A3 India was F2P for a few months before going P2P.
We welcome your suggestions. It will help us improve our service.

@ Bagua1
You have started a controversial topic here.If these guys would start the game fr free they would hardly earn as much as they used to earn wen the game was paid.I also agree with mod.foog that those palces which haave a free server have a huge gaming population.So they can earn a lot of revenue by selling rare drops.
However,i think there is a basic flaw with this syastem.Bcoz all the rare drops are meant to stay rare.If GM's start giving them out fr free it would loose it's essence.The game would turn into an AUCTION HOUSE.The highest bidder gets the drop.And hw would those ppl feel who cant afford the drops.They would quit just feeling that this game is only fr those who have deep pockets.
On the other hand there is no such feeling in current version of server.If u ahve the cash u play,if u dont have cash...........end of story.
Also,i would like to request the GM's that they improver the concurency rate of the server.Sm of my frnds(and i m starting to feel to side with them) have a feeling that we dont get enough drops.No hard feelings againts those who r in favour of Bagua1,just my thoughts.

Hi to all of u guyz and gals.
I have read your comments and i think that it requires some justification.
1) Many have said that gaming market in Philipines, Korea is much more than that in India.
Justification: Its not more my friends. But the number of MMORPG games running in those countries are more. Here we have only RagnaRok and A3, but these countries have many MMORP running. So this is a business policy carried out by those game providers to bring in crowd.
All these games also have unique drops and items...not only A3. But still they are selling it for a price by keeping the P2P price low.
2) Also does any one of you know that according to a recent survey by a leading Gaming Company, has forecasted that due to growing rate of reducing Hardware Rates and Internets, many Indian Users have turned their attention toward MMORPG gaming sector.
3) Reliance has already jumped in with ZAPAK in the MMORPG sector with some big MMORPG bein launched in New Year.
4) Comments: Many have said that buying will reduce the balance of the game and not many people will level up due to it or many will leave the game. They also said that people with no money will just feel bad.
Justification: People with no money or monetary problems have already left this game long back.
Also, buying is not gonna reduce the balance of the game. I know many high levels in A3 who have bought Lartex, Uniques and even many othher things by paying real cash. So buying is going on even now, did it imbalance the game?
Also, no one will loose interest in leveling up, because of these things. Because to wear a g9 a player has to be a G9. He cant wear a G9 at g7 or g8 status. (This is for non mounted items.)
People are selling ingame woonz for real money. Why dont u see that or why you tend to ignore it?
5) And my major concern was MASS (crowd of people). GMFIRST says people are still playing in large numbers in C1.
Be honest players and post, if gmfirst is right or wrong. Because those who are playing from before 6 months will know what I am talking about. He has locked my Post in the GM section. Well it doesnt matter, because I know its not in his hands to implement Administrative and Technical Changes, without the OK of higher ups.
6) And one person Yudhister, if you cant comment, plz. dont. Dont try to show ur foolhardiness. Because Forums are meant to raise voice and Protest and to rake out ideas.
Players think about it and post. Because the MMORPG scenario is gonna change very fast in INDIA and if A3 keeps on going this way, then sorry to say, its day's are numbered.
GMFIRST wanted my IGN. Well I am not gonna give my IGN, but will only tell that I am a G9 player. Is that enough!!!

i think this idea would be crapp where will all the gameplay go guys, ppl are playing day in day out to gather stuff and money in game and developing their char , now for example uni weapons can be used at lvl 80 , so how will the high lvl players feel when they see a lvl 80 noob cming outwith a unique or smthng, this will disbalance the game economy,
play the game as the game and stop buyng stuff for real cash or game pins , this sucks , work hard and get ur stuff urself, it might take time but the pleasure in getting ur stuffs urself is more than buying it for real cash.
