So i have been playing a little bit of this game on my iphone and i came across the option to buy a "Growth Package", the idea of getting premium currency as you progress.
The proposed idea,
Players can buy the package, the price depends on the level, the earlier you buy it, the cheaper it is.
The full value of the package would be approx 130 euros so it is really worth buying.
The package would reward players at every 10 levels. upgrading their runes to the next level each time
ALL BOUND
Price below level 10, 35 euros.
Level 10 : full set of level 1 runes ( or how many they can equip actually )
Price below level 20, 37 euros.
Level 20 : full set of level 2 runes ( again i dont know how many they can equip )
Price below level 30, 39 euros.
level 30 : full set of level 3 runes
Price below level 40, 41 euros.
level 40 : full set of level 4 runes
Price below level 50, 43 euros.
level 50 : full set of level 5 runes
Price below level 60, 45 euros.
level 60 : full set of level 6 runes
Price below level 70, 47 euros.
level 70 : full set of level 7 runes.
Price at level 70, 50 euros.
Each set of runes REPLACES the old runes, so by level 70 they will have a full set of 7's . The 6s 5s 4s 3s 2s and 1s will be gone unless purchased at level 70 in which case the player will just receive a full set of 7s which can be used to upgrade what they already have.
The majority of people who look at this game, find out very quickly that it is pay to win and will avoid playing. With this package, players can get the standard expected runes 777/777 for end game, while they level, for nearly 25% of the full price.
Existing players have the option to buy it aswell so they do not end up with lower runes than the new guys. Of course as they receive a full set instead of replacement, the higher price is justified. level 1 to 6 runes are NOT upgradable. NOT tradable. and NOT discardable. Level 7 runes are normal runes, that can be upgraded, like what we currently have.
Q: How would you control the price by level.
A: When the player joins the game they will be given a coupon which can be redeemed for the lowest price, 35 euros (in game transaction) or 3500 crystals. When the player levels up to the next price bracket, the coupon will be replaced with the new one if it was not redeemed. If the player redeems the coupon, they will not receive anymore coupons, as they will get all rewards already. Existing players will get the coupon that fits their level bracket on the day this is implemented.
Q: Why should a level 70 pay more than a level 5 or a level 40 pay more than a level 10.
A: The idea of the growth package is that new players can grow with their level and when they get to level 70, they wont feel so out of place, complain that the game is pay to win and then quit. The package however is also available to existing players so that they do not feel like new players will end up stronger than they are for such a much cheaper price. However, because of the nature of the level 70 reward in that they are you can use them to upgrade what you have already, for example. I have full 9 runes, i can buy this package and have 6x 9s, and 6x 7s.
Thoughts?
This would be advertised on the fact that you are getting 130 euro value for only 35 euro if you purchase when you join.
