A3 India Community Forum

i have heard a3 going paid the next month,then only guides and gms will play
this game no one else......is it true,that a3 is now becoming paid??

i guess they have to do it sooner or later

if the price is reasonable

then i am in

Are they doing a charity service?

Where will the money for server rental, bandwidth usage, salary of people who manages the server, application and support come from??

They need money to pay for that and be mature enough that MONEY was and will be involved all the time the game was/will be played.

Advertisements cannot alone pull up the revenue for profit

Most of the MMORPGs are paid.

They cant do a pay to play from the first day itself coz no one likes to experiment with money
People need to know the game and then decide whether to play it or not and that is exactly what A3India did.

If you dont want to pay and play then DONT play. No one is forcing you to play.

It is your luck that you got to play this game free of cost all these days. Dont put opinions. And yes, since you dont own A3India you have NO rights to decide whether the game is gonna be free or paid.

Good post dude.
Although charging at this stage is gonna be tricky. Gamers in India unlike in the US are predominantly school n college kids with no source of income. (US is where u got rich gamers who can afford the dual GPU in SLI rigged Alienware stuff )
Many ppl as it is are paying to play in cybercafes. So Sify will have to tread carefully..start with a max of 200 Rs. (maybe less) and perhaps give discounts to users of Sify's ISP.

BUt yes, half the population will evaporate once it goes paid

This is just a BETA version of the game. All are playing it just for 2mths max.All mmorpgs are paid but after some time.That is when it is Bug fixed and the Retail version is released so no sweat unti then.

When that happens go to Google and search for a new MMORPG

Well i guess there is still time for it to get p2p ... May be 2 months i suppose .. Well its true half of the population will evaporate ...
